of the concept of mixed government in early modern Polish-Lithuanian
state. Subsequently, it aims to analyze the baroque apology of monarchia mixta in the seventeenth-century Poland-Lithuania, in the context of the Commonwealth’s political crisis and decay, undoubtedly combined with its specific form of government. The basis for the considerations is the political thought of Andrzej Maksymilian Fredro, the castellan of Lviv, a Polish politician, statist, and historian.

Thousands of shattered limestone pieces came to light in 1974 in Mont'e Prama (western Sardinia) and have been reassembled into dozens of massive statues that reward close study by archaeologists, historians, conservators, and restorers. Now symbols of Sardinia's rich cultural history, these sculptures draw crowds to the museums in Sardinia. Their story can be explored through the six chapters and photo galleries of this exhibition.
The digital exhibition and book project are the first initiatives in a three-year program developed with a grant from Italy’s Autonomous Region of Sardinia to highlight Sardinia’s cultural heritage. This program is developed under the umbrella of the Italian Academy’s International Observatory for Cultural Heritage, which is dedicated to all issues relating to the survival, protection, and conservation of cultural heritage, and which sponsors and encourages research on monuments, artifacts, practices, and traditions.
