Emmanuele Antonio Cicogna

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emmanuele Antonio Cicogna, 1842

Emmanuele Antonio Cicogna (born January 17, 1789 in Venice ; † February 22, 1868 ibid) dedicated his life to a collection, whose 40,000 books he bequeathed to the city of Venice in his will, and extensive source editions , in particular the inscriptions from Venice and its lagoon . In total, in addition to his main job as a court secretary, he published well over two hundred historical, biographical and art-historical treatises, transcriptions , translations, bibliographies and short stories . He never saw himself as a historian but wanted to put together the collections necessary for this work.

life and work

Origin and education

Cicogna came from a Cretan family who had fled to Venice from Candia, today's Heraklion , during the war with the Ottomans for Venetian Crete . There she belonged to the upper class of the bourgeois families, the so-called cittadini coraziani . In 1736 the family managed to rise to the Venetian nobility. Emanuele Cicogna (1710-1805) was the grandfather of Emmanuele Antonio, whose parents were Giovanni Antonio (Giannantonio) (1760-1844) and the Venetian Elisabetta Bortolucci († 1794). The grandfather belonged to the Venetian army, the father to the administration. He worked as amministratore dei beni retrodatati in San Vito al Tagliamento , after having been employed as notaio sopra i Dazii for the Republic of Venice . Two years after the death of his first wife Elisabetta, his father married Anna Colpo in 1796, who gave him seven more children.

Emmanuele Antonio Cicogna was born in the parish around the Church of San Nicola da Tolentino in the sestiere Santa Croce . The boy received his first training from the Venetian priest Andrea Basson and in the college of Abbot Antonio Venier (probably the Theatine ); then he studied at the Collegio dei Nobili in Udine , which was directed by Barnabites , where the emphasis was on grammar , rhetoric and philosophy (1799-1807). From 1807 to 1808 he was in Spilimbergo . Upon his return to Venice in March 1808, at the request of his father, he embarked on a legal career. From 1811 he worked as a clerk at the Procura regia in Udine, but returned in January 1813 and began his work at the Court of Appeal , where he was promoted to secretary. He was denied further advancement because he could not prove a law degree.

He largely stayed away from the intellectual upheavals of his time, because he found taking sides as shocking. As he noted in 1814, he was serving the Lord who fed him. He considered the ideas of the Carbonari to be beautiful and honorable, but far removed from any reality; he accepted the unification of Italy without much participation. A few times, however, he came into conflict with the Austrian censorship, possibly in connection with a publication that he himself considered important, namely that of the files and the history of the Appellation Tribunal.

Marriage to Carlotta Colpo (1847–1849)

On January 19, 1847, he married Carlotta Colpo, the daughter of Pietro Colpo and Elisabetta Veroli, born in 1807, who had lived in the Pietro Dolfin house from 1817 to 1837. She was probably a relative of his father's second wife. With the Colpo and Dolfin families , Cicogna was again closely connected; with father and with Carlotta Colpo he asked for her hand. The two had a marriage which, contrary to his fears, apparently gave Cicogna a lot of time for his studies. However, his wife died on August 21, 1849 within a single day of the cholera that was rampant in Venice . Cicogna had the inscription placed on her tombstone: "A / Carlotta Colpo / ottima delle mogli / Emmanuele Antonio Cicogna / Marito desolato / Morì nell'agosto fatale / MDCCCXLIX". With the "fateful August" Cicogna probably meant not only the month in which he lost his beloved wife, but also the month in which the Republic of Venice, which had been independent from the Austrian army and cholera since March 23 of the previous year defeated, had to surrender. On August 22nd, one day after Carlotta's death, the Repubblica di San Marco surrendered , which had fought against the overwhelming odds for almost a year and a half. The Austrian troops marched in on August 27, 1849.

After Carlotta's death, collecting became a part of life for the widower, and so he acquired Greek, Latin, Venetian and Italian manuscripts and thousands of books, although he had only modest means. He was mainly in contact with the city's most important booksellers, especially Adolfo Cesare and Gaetano Canciani . After the end of the republic, a number of collectors tried to counteract the scattering of entire libraries of impoverished aristocratic families and the convents. In this collecting activity, however, he did not want to write a history of Venice himself, but rather to make the necessary material available to more capable people.

First publications (from 1808)

In 1808 his first small publication appeared under the pseudonym Angelo Eugenio Mentice Mantovano with the title Un Prete di San Martino . He oriented himself on the style of Boccaccio ; the work had an edition of 24 copies, only one of which has survived. Another work of this kind appeared in 1810. As early as 1813 he became socio des Ateneo Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Art , which Leopoldo Cicognara († 1834) directed.

In 1811 he published a Dissertazione storico-critica on the discovery of the relics of St. Mark . Immediately after the end of Napoleon's rule, he dealt with a statue of Napoleon , which was erected in Venice in 1811 and removed in 1814. In 1817 he brought out a guide through the upper halls of the Doge's Palace . In 1822 he wrote a necrology on Ruggero Mondini, a Venetian scholar, and in the same year he dealt with the outstanding minds of the Pasqualigo family.

Historical writings (from 1823), editions of inscriptions (1824–1853)

One of the inscriptions transcribed by Cicogna in the urban area, the stele del pan under the Sotoportego Falier on the Rio Santi Apostoli not far from the Rialto Bridge ; it dates from 1727

Cicogna began to be increasingly interested in the history of Venice and so he began first to publish chronological tables, then to transcribe the inscriptions throughout the city . This resulted in the six volumes Inscrizioni veneziane , a work that occupied him for three decades. In doing so, he not only handed down numerous inscriptions, many of which no longer exist, but he also tried to identify the people named therein and to provide brief biographical notes.

In addition, he continued to work as a collector to such an extent that in 1831 he had to give up his domicile with the nobleman Pietro Dolfin and transfer his collection to Calle Trevisan in the municipality of Santa Maria Formosa . In 1842 he acquired a 350-page manuscript from an unknown author, which was written between 1518 and 1520 in Rome and 1521 in Venice. But he also interpreted this, namely as a manuscript by Marcantonio Michiel , which Cicogna referred to as "Diario". Other attributions of anonymous works to certain authors go back to Cicogna, for example that of the Annali delle cose della Repubblica di Venezia 1578–1588 to Alvise Michiel.

In 1847 he brought out a bibliographical overview of Venice, which included the entire territory of the Republic of Venice . It contains 5,861 titles on 943 pages, plus notes on almost every title. In addition he wrote novellas , in 1828 a brief biography of Bianca Cappello , the wife of Francesco I from the Medici family , and in the same year a treatise on the translation of Paolo Sarpi's remains to Murano . In 1830 he wrote a necrology on Teodoro Correr , whose attitude towards collecting and whose generosity strongly influenced him.

In 1830 Cicogna dealt with Dante . In addition to his necrologists and biographies, there were contributions to Venetian churches and their interior decorations, as well as to individual monuments such as the gobbo . He also dared to read Latin prose, but did not pursue it any further. He also wrote about families connected with Venice, such as the Spaur, Marcello or Foscolo.

In 1845 and 1846 Cicogna dealt with the Venetian regattas , for which he compiled unpublished sources from the 14th century to 1844, as well as with the Venetian schools , such as San Giovanni Evangelista . The Venetian schools were guilds, but also lay fraternities dedicated to charitable and spiritual tasks. Outstanding among them were the six Scuole grandi , to which the Scuola Grande di San Giovanni Evangelista belonged, about whose origins Cicogna wrote some, as he calls them, “brief notes”.

As a collector of editions of Boccaccio's Decamerone , of which he now owned around 250, he published a small 17-page bibliography in 1856. In 1853 he published a brief economic work by Giammaria Ort (1713-1790). In 1860 the résumés of some doges were added, as well as scholarly comments on the work of the chronicler Martino da Canale from the mid-13th century.

In total, he brought out more than 110 historical contributions, as well as poetic works and translations from Latin. Giovanni Paoletti listed 215 of his works five years before Cicogna's death, although he admitted that the list was not yet complete.

Help with other projects, gifts

Cicogna made his vast knowledge available unselfishly. When the relazioni (reports) of the Venetian ambassadors were to be published, he mainly supported the editors Tommaso Gar and Vincenzo Lazari with his detailed knowledge; when the 13th century edition of the Chronicle of Martino da Canale was being prepared in the Archivio Storico Italiano , he also helped here. Elsewhere he contributed the express reports from the court of King Maximilian I from 1496, which came from Francesco Foscari . There was hardly a contemporary publication on the history of Venice that Cicogna did not provide with advice and knowledge. He also supported foreign scientists by making his knowledge and collections, but also contacts to other researchers, accessible to them. In many cases, weddings or birthday parties gave him the reason to write a script about the person in question or their family, their hometown or place of origin.

Support, honors, scientific societies

Cicogna found only a few supporters, especially since the Austrian authorities were rather indifferent to Venetian history. Count Benedetto Valmarana, who came from a Vicenza family, made his rich library available to him. He also supported his collection of inscriptions with funds, and his widow issued him a modest legacy that allowed him to publish his Venetian bibliography.

Cicogna was a member of numerous societies. Since 1843 socio des Ateneo Veneto and already since 1840 Consigliere Straordinario of the Accademia di belle arti di Venezia , he became a member of the Giunta del Panteon Veneto a decade later . He also belonged to the Concordi di Rovigo and the Colombari di Firenze , but also to the Accademia Agraria Aquileiese di Udine , the Accademia Aretina , and the Ateneo Trivigiano .

In 1846 Cicogna was accepted into the French Legion of Honor by King Louis-Philippe I , for which Antonio Diedo (1772–1847) was one of the first to congratulate him; In 1858 he received the golden medal for civil service , the Grande Medaglia d'Oro del Merito Civile, from the Austrian emperor . There were also Russian and Prussian awards; but also some from Sardinia and the Kingdom of Naples . Since 1848 he was a corresponding member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti and other scientific societies. But in 1860 he refused to run the State Archives because he did not want to take on any public office as director or director. Cicogna was one of the first to gain access to the archive in 1825.

Cicogna himself carefully recorded such awards in a kind of diary, in which, following the example of Venetian authors, he put down his daily work in chronological order. This included research and articles, discussions and dedications, even toasts that had been given to him. He again made the whole thing accessible with an index to make it easier for posterity to research his approach. He also carefully noted the stays of scientists who wanted to research his holdings.

Abode, collection, testament

Cicogna lived on Calle lunga Trevisan on Campo Santa Maria Formosa from 1827 to 1865 in a 15th century house that had once belonged to the Pisani, then the Bondumier, whose coat of arms was visible on the balcony. He dedicated an edition to one of the members of the Bondumier family who defended Negroponte against the Ottomans in 1470 . In 1865 the building, which dates from the 15th century, was rebuilt due to its dilapidation and Cicogna had to move to the neighboring house No. 6217. His enormous collection became part of the Museo Correr , which was donated by Teodoro Correr (1750–1830) in 1830 and whose collection was also extremely extensive. There were also paintings such as by Tintoretto or a portrait of Carlo Goldoni made by Luigi Boscolo . Cicogna could have sold the valuable collection, but he refused. In a first will he bequeathed his collection to the Biblioteca Marciana in 1850 . In 1852 he was retired.

The Nuda by Giorgione, created around 1508, 250 × 140 cm, in the Accademia
... 2014 in the Palazzo Grimani

In 1859 he turned to the engineer Tommaso Meduna to prevent the last remaining exterior painting on the Fondaco dei Tedeschi from being destroyed during the “whitening” of the building, which was understood as restoration, under the direction of Pietro Selvatico. It was the Nuda of Giorgione who was saved in this way.

In 1865 he bequeathed around 40,000 books and around 5,000 manuscripts to the city or to the Museo Correr in return for a life annuity for his two sisters , whereby his collection, not just the books, was gradually transferred. He died without his books on February 22, 1868.

First bibliographical attempts, processing of the book and art collection

Ignazio Neumann de Rizzi tried to get a first overview of the extensive work of Cicogna in 1850 by listing 104 works in which Cicogna was at least involved. In 1864 Giovanni Paoletti published another bibliographical attempt that had already listed 215 works. A few years after Cicogna's death, an 18-page Indice delle pubblicazioni di EA Cicogna was published in the Archivio Veneto in 1872 by an undisclosed hand.

While the books that Cicogna had collected throughout his life were examined by Lara Spina, the other objects in the collection, especially the works of art, have hardly been viewed. This has to do with the fact that the prints and coins, paintings and sculptures, the archaeological and natural history pieces often came into the collection by chance and through favorable opportunities, so that no system was created.

Centro di studi medievali e rinascimentali "EA Cicogna"

In 2001 the Centro di studi medievali e rinascimentali "Emmanuele Antonio Cicogna" (Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies "Emmanuele Antonio Cicogna") was founded in Venice in honor of Cicogna. The initiators were Angela Caracciolo Aricò († 2015), specialist in Renaissance and humanism , for the Aragon of the 15th and 16th centuries, but also editor of sources such as the works of Marin Sanudo , and the philologist Gian Carlo Alessio, who as president of the Centro acts. The study center works with the University of Venice , but also with the University of Rouen and American universities, such as the University of Maryland, Baltimore County , and Rutgers University im on research and editing projects as well as digital publications and the development of a database on the Venetian chronicles New Jersey State , and the Gladys Krieble Delmas and Jean Paul Delmas Foundation , a foundation in New York. The facility is based in Marciana on St. Mark's Square .
