When the French arrived in 1796, the University of Pavia for new ideas and inflamed political passions. The new authorities removed the faculty of theology. The exams will henceforth be held in Italian, while the first took place in Latin.

Maximilian of Hapsburg - Archduke of Austria and Emperor of Mexico

The introductory page of my book that is as follows:
Ferdinand Maximilian of Hapsburg, only two years younger brother of Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria will, character, completely different from firstborn.
Jovial and well prepared to the beauties of nature, an admirer of art and poetry that he himself practiced, had opened in his imagination the advantages and limitations of their personality. Francis Joseph, however, more concrete and realistic, must face the burden of commitment dynastic which lasted for sixty years (1848-1916).
Massimiliano, according to birth in the hierarchy of the House of Austria, on both occasions that will arise, the Governor of Lombardy-Venetia (1857-59) and the even more prestigious Emperor of Mexico (1864-67 ), to redeem his dynastic position and can be best applied, through his government, his reformist inclinations.
It will be in Mexico with the hopes and illusions of easy Masimiliano will collide with the hard reality of the country, also involved in a guerrilla tough and relentless.
the morning of June 19 1867 Maximilian, with two of his generals, will be shot on the hill "Cerro bell", which is located a few kilometers from the city of Queretaro.
The head of the guerrilla, indium Benito Juarez, discounts and did not, moreover, in a ruthless war that did not include prisoners, loser pays with his life.
It was concluded that the existence of Maximilian, and I believe that some verses of a poem can better represent his tragedy:
"I do not want to die in a valley
look hampered by extreme limits:
I would die on a mountain
in a golden sunset "

THE LAST ELEVEN YEARS OF AUSTRIAN MILANO (1848-1859)

The introductory page of my book that is as follows:
The riots and revolutions of 1848 both inside and outside of the Austro-Hungarian Empire had been shaken European nations deeply. The Five Days in Milan on 18-22 March 1848 forced Austria to leave the city and thus began a provisional government that lasted until the defeat of the Piedmontese army, led by Carlo Alberto, Custoza in July 1848 and the subsequent entry in Milan the Austrian troops at the beginning of August. At the head of these troops was Field Marshal Radetzky, who will maintain a state of siege on the city until 1853.
Then in the year after, it gradually returned to normal until the visit of Emperor Franz Joseph in Milan in 1857, which led to the first indulgence of the political prisoners and the removal of Radetzky. It will then be the last time with the new governor, the ariduca Maximilian, that Austria will seek to recover Milan and Lombardy and Veneto to keep it within their empire.
Milan are still living the past eleven years, the return of Radetzky's troops in August 1848, after five days, until the Austrian defeat in the war against France and Piedmont In June 1859, as inserted in the big city Austro-Hungarian Empire. These were difficult years, both because of the riot Five days is recent, and because the new ideals of nationality, freedom and social emancipation are increasingly investing large sections of the nobility and the people of borrghesia minute.
It 's a time lived with the tribulations of the population and the Austrian troops who do not feel more accepted, but even poorly tolerated by the citizens of Milan. It will have no outcome the final attempt of Austria to recover with the reforms for the people of Milan and Lombardy-Veneto.
It is too later, no time and with the defeat of Austria in the War of 1859, Milan will definitely be part of the Kingdom of Italy.

MILAN, The its epochs, its characters, its buildings, its stories

The introductory page of my book that is as follows:
I tried to penetrate different historical periods of Milan, through the stories of some characters that you have lived and saw it was at the time of their lives. In addition the buildings with their architectural evolutions, are good witnesses.
Among the many players in the history of Milan, I have chosen some that seemed more significant, also because through their lives you can guess the reality around them.
addition to people, even buildings (churches, buildings, neighborhoods, roads), have a fundamental significance in our lives, because they belong with their daily presence. Depending on the periods, are subject to different architectural trends, or disappear to make room for new ones.
The stories then, sad or funny, important or trivial, define the steps for various periods and make us participate as spectators in what has happened.
A great city, like everything around us, is always changing because you change the customs, fashions, buildings and social relations among its people.
And it is trying to relive past situations that we groped diving into the everyday realities of those who came before us.
