With Volta having successfully disproved the animal electricity theory, Galvani focused his attention on how electricity could be used to cure diseases. He was specifically interested in using electricity to cure paralysis. Electricity had previously been successfully applied, by the Bolognese physiologist Giuseppe Veratti, to curing both paralysis and arthritis (Montillo 4). Unfortunately, Luigi Galvani died before he was able to experiment further with the idea of a reliable cure for paralysis (Luigi n.pag). Galvani’s nephew, Giovanni Aldini, who was an avid supporter of his uncle’s experiments, continued experimenting with galvanism after his uncle’s death. Aldini believed that galvanism could be used to cure melancholy madness. In 1801,

Giovanni Gabrieli was a legendary composer of the 16th century. As the fundamental structure and ideas of the Catholic Church were being challenged by the Protestant Reformation and the Counter-Reformation, Gabrieli’s compositions were given the opportunity to be successful and influential to music in the coming centuries. His works helped to transform not only church music of the Catholic Church, but also secular music as well. Giovanni Gabrieli wrote significant works that ultimately shaped the rise of the symphony, including the development of purely instrumental works, the art of orchestration, and the concerto style. Without his innovations in composition, it is arguable that instrumental music would not have developed as quickly, or developed

Most Floridians are aware of the name Jose Martí and his significance to the Spanish-American War; however, many of these same people fail to understand that Martí and this war are just the tail end, albeit the triumphant end, of a long struggle for independence that lasted approximately thirty years. From 1868-1878, Cuban rebels fought for Independence in what has become to be called, “The Ten Years War” (Poyo: 1979, 289). While the wealthy Cuban elites relocated to New York, it cannot be forgotten that it was the displaced Cubans in Key West, Florida that largely financed the military efforts of The Ten Years War. Not only did they raise the majority of the money, but also supported the campaign themselves by joining different expeditions and raids throughout the war effort. In this account, I hope to give you a better understanding of how the thousands of Cubans who fled to Key West during the diaspora of the Ten Years War, while almost forgotten, became the foundation layers of the Spanish-American War, and the baton that would pass between generational, Cuban, rebel leaders against the Spanish presence on their island.

Andrea de Pozzo, born in 1642 in Trento, Italy, was a famous Italian Jesuit painter, architect, stage designer, and art theoretician of the late seventeenth century. Pozzo specialized in ‘quadratura’and ‘di sotto in su’ techniques; a system of perspective where the focal lines start from the corner and meet each other at the center of the piece. At the age of 17, his father sent him for artistic training under Palma il Giovane. In 1662, he trained under an unrecognized painter from the workshop of Andrea Sacchi, who taught him the techniques of Roman Baroque art. As devoted Pozzo was to his art, he was just as devoted to the church. In 1675, he designed frescos for the church of San Francisco Saverio in Mondovi. Some of his contribution to the church also included ceiling paintings. Pozzo established a strong reputation ceiling he painted in the Church of St. Ignazio which was known as the Glorification of Saint Ignatius (or Nave Fresco).

A new era began in 1432 with the ascendency of Cosimo de Medici (13890-1464). As a wealthy banker, Giovanni de Medici (1360-1429), his father, laid the foundation for the staggering fortune that Cosimo used to oust his opponents, including the Albizzi dynasty, who wanted to control Florence and eliminate the powerful Medici dynasty. His inherited wealth also brought the Florentine republic under his control. After Francesco Sforza, a condottiere, or commander of a mercenary army came to power in Milan in 1450. Cosimo ended a war with the Milanese duchy. The Peace of Lodi, the treaty that ended the war, established a balance of power among Italy’s greater states: Florence and Milan on one side and Venice and Naples on the other. This helped
