's your story is not common to the military as an educator, a politician first and foremost, a patron of art lover and critic: his writings were read at the Academy of Arts Venice.
is said humbly Manfredini, in his real successes, weaknesses, mistakes sometimes denying especially political historians. Often silent about him, that it was one of ours. Jacobin was called, and still Tuscany, this historic habit, the evil recalls: "I do lawful for a digression in quality Italian. In fact they are so visceral to the core of the bones. "Son in his own words.
E 'the autobiography of a person of rare intelligence, intuition end, a large culture. This is how the Marquis Federico in 151 full pages written in part in Padua, completed then Campoverardo (Ve) a few years before ending his days here, and where he was buried.
His writing is hard to read, sometimes indecipherable text. This testimony, found by chance, unknown until now overlooked, or perhaps because of the difficulties in interpretation, which I propose is: its the way my thoughts, in order to know a historical figure, not only for ' Italy but also for Europe. It 's a very good document: Tuscany and Austria (the Holy Roman Empire until 1805, then the Austrian Empire from 1806 to 1866), and his resignation October 9, 1809, politically for nearly half a century, had bread every day.
A Campoverardo arrived late, and lived here for twenty years about his serene old age. It was his idea to promote the small mainly agricultural country, the first craft: blacksmiths, cobblers, furniture manufacturers, luthiers and beyond, then gradually developed in the wake of the tradition. Campoverardo became a pilot country among those of the Province, or lacking true craftsmen in the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth century: the Minano, the Sartori, Brusegan disappeared and piano to name a few. House and shop, family-run as he says, were signs of widespread prosperity, new jobs secured, and the country a pole at mainland.
do not have to go far back in time to restore the environment of that time, I live in the memory of the great old. He then dared too much concrete, as concrete, will be the debris of our culture, leave blank to posterity not found in time historical roots.
The Marquis is the last to hold out a noble Venetian Campoverardo: core strand in the cultural Renaissance, artists and writers have stayed here too long. * Prepares the villa in Barchessa A study of sculpture, among others worked on Rinaldo Rinaldi pupil of Canova. "The immortal master" to his time spent well over here, so refreshed, their friendship since the days of Salzburg. They had known many years before when Canova, very young, he served as a guide to the Marquis for the first time in Rome, to affairs of state.
The Manfredini, in turn, he introduced the Rinaldi at all the royal houses of Europe. Maecenas also, while the large Venetian families squander cheerful, had pulled his oars since the fall of the Republic. A closure in the private pride, now it is our fear, and according to him companies fail in this way.
They wondered where historians had finished our Marquis when he came out of the loop, and too soon forgotten for his political silence. Here it is more alive than ever in our little "Field Verardo," the country that filled the days and years: "Everything I spoke strongly to the spirit."
