Literature and Art

In the Western Italian literature, religious literature occupies an important position. Religious literature began as biographies, prayers, religious stories, and hymns sung during religious ceremonies written in Latin. The subsequent rise of religious heresy is reflected in religious literature. . The main representative is the valley of San Fonlo (1182 ~ 1226) and Jacopone da Tordi (c. 1230 ~ 1306). Folklore also developed during the Middle Ages, but only a small part of it survived, the most famous of which was the Sicilian song dealer Chuolo de Alcamo's Fragrant and Fresh Roses in the second half of the 13th century.

The earliest literary poetry in Italy, from the Sicilian school of poetry in the first half of the 13th century. It, together with the Tuscan Poetry School (mainly represented by Guitone D 'Aletto, c. 1235 ~ 1294, Berdini) and the gentle New Style Poetry School (mainly represented by Guido Cavalcanti, c. 1255 ~ 1300), which appeared in the urban commune, eulogified love and expressed the citizens' interest in the vulgar life, reaching the peak of medieval lyric poetry.

Medieval literary narrative essays, ecclesiastical works, and townsfolk tales popular in medieval urban literature. Brunetto Latini's Treasure-House (c. 1220 ~ 1294) and Marco Polo's travels have had a profound influence.

The dawn of the European Renaissance first appeared in Italy. The first representative is Dante. With his representative work Divine Comedy, he became a great poet in the history of Italian and European literature. The other two pioneers of the Renaissance, Petrarch and Boccaccio, set the precedent of modern European lyric poetry and short stories with their Songbook and Decameron respectively.

From the second half of the 14th century to the middle of the 15th century, the most important poet was Poliziano (1454 ~ 1494), whose poems reflected the humanist yearning for an idyllic world. Purci (1432 ~ 1484) and Boardo (1441 ~ 1494) were recorded in the annals of Italian literature with their epic romances of chivalry, Molganti and Roland in Love.

The representatives of the late Renaissance were Ariosto (1474 ~ 1533), Machiavelli (1469 ~ 1527), and Tasso (1544 ~ 1595). Ariosto's "Crazy Roland", followed by Boardau's "Loving Roland", paved the way for the development of European narrative poetry. The comic works of Machiavelli, Ariosto and Aredino (1492 ~ 1556) laid the foundation for the development of the later Italian comedy. Tasso's long narrative poem "Jerusalem Unchained" shines in the last light of the Renaissance.

In the 17th century, Italy lost its important position in European economy and culture due to the invasion of foreign nations and political turmoil. Literature is on the decline. With Marino (1569 ~ 1625) as the representative of the formalist literature, the Marino School of Poetry and the Acadian School of Poetry emerged.

Renaissance Works In the second half of the 18th century, Italy achieved relative stability. Natural science, materialist philosophy and enlightenment thoughts were widely disseminated. There is Enlightenment literature. The most accomplished Enlightenment writer, Giorgio Goldoni (1707 ~ 1793), innovated the long-popular "masked comedy" and created the "custom comedy", which embodied distinct democratic ideas and laid the foundation for the development of Italian realistic drama.

The national revival movement for national independence, unity and freedom arose vigorously in the 19th century. Romantic literature was the reflection of this movement in the cultural field. A number of excellent writers and poets, such as Berger, Balta, Manzoni and Leopardi, were introduced. It expresses the Italian people's ardent desire to safeguard national dignity and revive the motherland.

The national revival ended in 1870 with the establishment of a constitutional monarchy of the Kingdom of Italy. Italy was caught between a new capitalist order and an old feudal relationship. Realism literature is the product of this particular social and historical condition. The group of realism writers, led by Capuana and Verga, cast their eyes on the areas with the most acute social contradictions at that time, profoundly revealing the collapse of the traditional social order and the misery of the common people under the impact of powerful capitalism.

At the end of the 19th century, children's literature also achieved fruitful results. Collody's (1826 ~ 1890) The Adventuresof Pinocchio, De Amicis's Education of Love, had a wide range of influences.

In the first 30 years of the 20th century, Italy joined the ranks of imperialism and established the world's first fascist dictatorship. Its literature presents a complicated and different situation. Futurism is a group of radical artists under the banner of revolutionizing traditional literature. They rival the aestheticism of D 'Annunzio (1863 ~ 1938) and adopted free and uninhibited means of expression, resorting to reaction and rapid rhythm, to show the beauty of movement and power, and to show the impulse of human consciousness, which had an impact on European and American modernist literature and art. The secret school poetry sprouted in the 1920s, and its radiation power spread to more than half a century of important poetry schools. The obscure poets represented by Montalet, Ongaretti (1888 ~ 1970) and Quazimodo are good at depicting the subtle emotions and transient feelings of people's inner world, and express the consciousness of maintaining individual dignity and value under the pressure of "the evil of life" of a generation. Pirandello and Svevo (1861-1928) are the 20th century drama and novel of the field of unique masters. The former breaks the standard of traditional drama, describes the absurd events in the absurd environment and depicts the tragedy of people losing themselves, while the latter abandons the technique of traditional novels and shapes the image of morbid modern people with the help of the subconscious. New realism, with the passion and ideals of the anti-fascist resistance, provides Italian literature with a new, unpretended view of the struggle, the "southern problem" and the everyday lives of little men in the early postwar years. Many post-war writers such as Levi (1902 ~ 1975) Platolini (1913 ~ 1991) and other achievements, are connected with the new realism.

After the Second World War, a number of outstanding writers all had their own artistic style. Vidolini (1908 ~ 1966) combined realism with abstract ideas to reveal the essence of reality from the perspective of morality. Calvino devoted his life to the innovation of art forms and pondered the alienation of modern people. With acute vision and skilled skills, Moravia depicts the spiritual crisis of the contemporary bourgeoisie. Xia Xia's novels are characterized by describing social and political issues and exposing the crimes of the Mafia.

7. Framework: Policies and regulations [State Administration for Market Regulation]

7.1 What are the regulations and policies on foreign trade?

7.1.1 Trade authorities

In 2019, after the establishment of the new coalition government formed by Italy's Five Star Movement and the Democratic Party of Italy, major adjustments were made to the government functions. From January 2020, all the foreign trade functions originally belonging to the Ministry of Economic Development were transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. It includes strategic planning, trade promotion, financial support, commercial promotion, trade remedies, import and export licensing of agricultural products and endangered species, market access, and approval of dual-use products. The Italian Foreign Trade Commission, a trade promotion agency, also comes under the jurisdiction of the Foreign Ministry. The Division for Market, Competition, Consumer Protection and Technical Regulation of the Ministry of Economic Development remains responsible for market competition, product and service quality standards and conformity assessment.

7.1.2 Trade legal system

As a member of the EU, Italy implements the common trade policy of the EU, but the technical safety, health and quarantine standards of imported goods are translated from EU directives into national laws and regulations before implementation. Italian trade laws and regulations come from a wide range of sources, including EU laws and regulations and EU directives

(need to be converted into domestic law), the legislative, the executive order, economic development possible, inform, guide, and multilateral agreements, etc., covering industry trade order management, product quality and safety standards, export credit and export insurance plan, product packaging and labelling, dual-use technologies and products import and export, market competition and the protection of intellectual property rights, etc.

7.1.3 Relevant provisions on trade management

The EU Common Trade Policy implemented by Italy at present mainly involves tariff policy, GSP treatment, common import system, agricultural product import quota management, trade remedy measures, export control, export rebate, common agriculture and fishery policy, common consumer protection policy and so on.

【 Import Management 】 The import management of Italy includes two aspects: quantity restriction such as quota and import license management. Restrictions on agricultural imports are implemented in accordance with the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy. GMFs approved for import and sale must be systematically marked on their packaging. The import of goods containing animal products shall show the certificate of the competent authority of the country of origin, and the import of aquatic products shall show the fishing license.

[Export Management] The Italian government implements the policy of encouraging export, and general commodities can be exported freely. The government only controls the export of a few products, such as endangered animals and plants and dual-use products.

(1) Subsidies for agricultural products. Italy supports agriculture under the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy. The main means of subsidy are direct and indirect. Direct subsidy means have price subsidy, planting area subsidy, yield subsidy, etc. In addition, Italian companies can also enjoy agricultural and sideline products when they export to third countries

 

Subject to the export tax rebate policy, the specific tax rebate rate is formulated by the European Commission according to the agricultural development strategy and product category, and adjusted timely according to the situation. The tax rebate fund is from the EU agricultural subsidy fund, and the tax rebate method includes direct tax rebate, advance tax rebate and advance fund support.

(2) Export tax rebate policy. Italy for the production enterprises to export goods to take the way of exemption, arrival, return. The production of export goods by enterprises shall be exempted from value-added tax in the link of production and export. The input tax on materials and other goods used in the production of export goods shall be set off against the VAT payable by enterprises, and shall be settled on an annual basis. The input tax not fully deducted from the previous year may be carried forward to the next year for further deduction. To do not want to carry forward next year to offset, the enterprise that is in urgent need of funds can also apply for a tax refund. The export goods of traders are also generally exempted, offset and refunded, but the export sales volume should reach more than 10% of the total sales volume. The essence of this method is to offset the tax payable on the export goods of the previous year against the tax payable on the import goods of the next year or the input tax on the imported goods of the country. If the quota of the current year is not fully used up, it may be carried forward for further use in the next year; To individual don't want to carry forward to the top of the import and export business for the next year, but should apply for the corresponding tax rebate, export sales amounts have not reached 10% of the total sales are not allowed to use this way, the input tax of the export goods contains can directly apply for a refund or with enterprise value-added tax or other tax payable tax amount payable.

(3) Military exports. Italy is a member of the original Paris Coordinating Committee and the current Wassenaar Arrangement, which exercises strict control over the export of conventional weapons and sensitive dual-use products and technologies in accordance with the control list of the Wassenaar Arrangement.

[Trade Remedies] Italy's trade remedies include anti-dumping, countervailing and safeguard measures, all of which comply with the relevant provisions of the European Union. The EU's 1036/2016 Anti-dumping Regulation and 1037/2016 Anti-subsidy Regulation have been incorporated into the international negotiation rules under the WTO framework. Regulation 2321/2017, which came into force in 2017, introduced a new method for calculating dumping, allowing the EU to assess dumping in the case of market distortions in third countries. The Regulations of 825/2018 also made partial revisions to the above-mentioned two regulations of 2016. The 478/2015 Regulation and the 755/2015 Regulation incorporate the general safeguard provisions stipulated by the WTO within the framework of EU law.

 

7.1.4 Inspection and quarantine of import and export commodities

[Inspection and Quarantine Administration Department] In Italy, there are many inspection and quarantine departments for commodities, with a relatively detailed division of labor. In particular, there are a large number of inspection and quarantine institutions for animal-derived products and live animals.
