Lettere a Bruna

Autor: Giuseppe Ungaretti

Número de Páginas: 821

Estate 1966. Per una serie di conferenze Giuseppe Ungaretti è in Brasile, una terra in cui ha abitato a lungo e a cui è particolarmente legato. Vestita di rosso, alla fine di un incontro pubblico gli si avvicina la giovane Bruna Bianco, che gli consegna alcune sue poesie: prende avvio così una relazione che - data la distanza - si esprimerà attraverso un fittissimo scambio epistolare. Le quasi 400 lettere che qui si presentano, gelosamente custodite per cinquant'anni dalla destinataria, raccontano la cronaca quotidiana di un amore impetuoso e travolgente, che riaccende nel poeta il desiderio di cantare e dà inizio a una nuova stagione creativa. Nella plaquette del 1968 dal titolo Dialogo, alla voce del poeta, che si firma Ungà come nelle lettere, seguono infatti le Repliche di Bruna. Donna reale, quindi, Bruna, ma al contempo figura poetica, musa, incarnazione della giovinezza al cospetto del «poeta antico». «Felice, e disperato d'esserlo», consapevole che il suo amare è una «smisurata demenza», Ungaretti racconta i pensieri, gli incontri, le delusioni, commenta quadri, mostre e letture, allega prove poetiche e di traduzione, guida la giovane sul sentiero della...

The Killing Room

Autor: Christobel Kent

Número de Páginas: 368

When private investigator Sandro Cellini is invited to attend a glamorous launch party for a luxury residence overlooking Florence, he has no idea what he's walking into. Behind the austere beauty of Palazzo San Giorgio's façade terrible secrets lie hidden: not only an old torture chamber uncovered during excavations, but a much more recent malevolence. Then the head of security dies under suspicious circumstances and Sandro takes on the dead man's role. He soon discovers that his predecessor's death was not random, or isolated, when one of the residents is found murdered in her room. Now, Sandro must work to untangle the secrets of the palazzo to unmask a deadly killer before the fate of another victim is sealed...

Thomas Gray among the Disciplines

Autor: Ruth Abbott , Ephraim Levinson

Número de Páginas: 302

Throughout the 250 years that have passed since Thomas Gray’s death, he has primarily been celebrated as a poet. This makes sense because, although he published relatively little verse, he published less – indeed, precisely nothing – of his abundant polymathic writing in other fields. His place within the history of scholarship has therefore been obscured. Like many eighteenth-century antiquaries, however, he shared his learning through correspondence and manuscript circulation and thereby influenced intellectual as well as literary life. This book explores Gray’s scholarship within the changing norms of eighteenth-century disciplines, at once locating him within histories of specialisation and examining the ways in which he challenges their narratives. Scholars from across the humanities reveal his methods and global interests and analyse many newly uncovered manuscripts. Offering fresh understanding of broader fields through focused investigation of Gray’s multidisciplinary writings, the book will appeal to scholars of eighteenth-century literary, intellectual, and scientific history.

Giorgio Vasari and the Birth of the Museum

Autor: Maiawellington Gahtan

Número de Páginas: 297

Giorgio Vasari and the Birth of the Museum offers the first dedicated and comprehensive study of Vasari?s original contributions to the making of museums, addressing the subject from the full range of aspects - collecting, installation, conceptual-historical - in which his influence is strongly felt. Uniting specialists of Giorgio Vasari with scholars of historical museology, this collection of essays presents a cross-disciplinary overview of Vasari?s approaches to the collecting and display of art, artifacts and memorabilia. Although the main focus of the book is on the mid-late 16th century, contributors also bring to light that Vasari?s museology enjoyed a substantial afterlife well into the modern museum era. This volume is a fundamental addition to the museum studies literature and a welcome enhancement to the scholarly industry on Giorgio Vasari.

Italy

Autor: Diane Ghirardo

Número de Páginas: 338

Packed in its dense, historic city centers, Italy holds some of the most prized architecture and art in the world, with which planners and politicians have had to negotiate as they struggle to cope with massive migration from the countryside to the city. Early modern architecture coincided with a sustained drive to transform a country that was still primarily rural into a modern industrial state, and throughout the twentieth century, architects in Italy have attempted to define the role of architecture within a capitalist economy and under diverse political systems. In Italy: Modern Architectures in History, Diane Yvonne Ghirardo addresses these and other issues in her analysis of the last century of Italy’s building practices. Specifically, she examines the post-unification efforts to identify a distinctly Italian architectural language, as well as the transformation of the urban environment in Italian cities undergoing industrialization in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. She challenges received interpretations of modern architecture and also looks at the subject of illegal building and current responses to ecological challenges. In order to illuminate the...

Provenance and Possession

Autor: K. J. P. Lowe

Número de Páginas: 376

A thought-provoking study of how knowledge of provenance was not transferred with enslaved people and goods from the Portuguese trading empire to Renaissance Italy In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, Renaissance Italy received a bounty of "goods" from Portuguese trading voyages—fruits of empire that included luxury goods, exotic animals and even enslaved people. Many historians hold that this imperial "opening up" of the world transformed the way Europeans understood the global. In this book, K.J.P. Lowe challenges such an assumption, showing that Italians of this era cared more about the possession than the provenance of their newly acquired global goods. With three detailed case studies involving Florence and Rome, and drawing on unpublished archival material, Lowe documents the myriad occasions on which global knowledge became dissociated from overseas objects, animals and people. Fundamental aspects of these imperial imports, including place of origin and provenance, she shows, failed to survive the voyage and make landfall in Europe. Lowe suggests that there were compelling reasons for not knowing or caring about provenance, and concludes that geographical knowledge,...

Curating Italian Fashion

Autor: Matteo Augello

Número de Páginas: 280

Italy is a major player in the global fashion industry, yet little has been written about its contribution to fashion curation. This book explores the management, display and curation of Italian fashion heritage, highlighting the role played by companies and industry associations. By contextualising fashion curation within Italy's economy, culture and art-historical tradition, Curating Italian Fashion unfolds the ties between the preservation of fashion heritage and corporate policies. It traces the shift of companies from sponsors to cultural producers and discusses the different uses of archives and exhibitions. Through the critical analysis of key examples such as Salvatore Ferragamo and Pitti Immagine, this book illustrates how the inevitable commercial interests underlying fashion curation can exist alongside the scholarly contribution of corporate initiatives. Most importantly, it defines the curatorial approaches developed by the involvement of the industry in fashion curation, thus providing an overarching interpretation of the characteristics of this practice in Italy. Matteo Augello provides an unprecedented insight into the management of Italian fashion heritage and...

Les céramiques communes de Campanie et de Narbonnaise (Ie s. av. J.-C. - IIe s. ap. J.-C.). La vaisselle de cuisine et de table

Autor: Collectif

Número de Páginas: 648

La storia degli studi sulla ceramica comune è caratterizzata dalla quasi totale assenza di contributi di carattere generale. Tale situazione contrasta con la bibliografia, in alcuni casi imponente, relativa alle principali classi ceramiche di età romana. Essa comprende manuali, tipologie consolidate, edizioni di serie omogenee di materiali conservati nei principali musei d’Europa e d’America. [...] I titoli che riguardano la ceramica comune si possono contare invece sulle dita delle mani. [...] Ciò vuol dire che mancano ancora sicuri punti di riferimento sia sul piano della tipologia, sia sul piano cronologico, sia su quello delle produzioni.

Les bains de Cefalà (Xe-XIXe siècle)

Número de Páginas: 717

Connu depuis longtemps, l’exceptionnel complexe thermal de Cefalà, qui met en valeur une source chaude naturelle située à 30 km au sud de Palerme, n’avait jamais fait jusqu’à présent l’objet d’une étude systématique et interdisciplinaire qui exploite en particulier les données archéologiques recueillies lors des fouilles menées dans les années 1990 et 2000. Les résultats de la recherche menée sous l’égide de l’École française de Rome et en collaboration avec la Surintendance de Palerme à partir de 2003 ont permis de préciser la chronologie des bains, dont les origines oscillaient jusqu’ici entre Antiquité et époque normande, et d’éclairer pour la première fois leur articulation initiale avec le site au sein duquel ils se trouvaient. Construit à partir du Xe siècle sous la dynastie régionale kalbide dans le contexte de la Sicile fatimide, monumentalisé par la dynastie des Hauteville au milieu du XIIe siècle, le complexe a connu une utilisation et une fréquentation ininterrompue et en constante évolution jusqu’au XXe siècle, avant d’être étudié et protégé. Ses transformations reflètent celles qu’a connues la société...

Entre l'éperon et le talon de l'Italie, loin de la Toscane et de la Vénétie, surgit une terre millénaire dont la vocation est sans doute de nous rappeler que le tourisme ne s'arrête pas en dessous de Naples. Les Pouilles, la Basilicate et la Calabre demeurent en effet de ces endroits d'Europe méridionale où l'on est encore happé par un vent d'authenticité quasi intact. Les normands du Moyen-âge l'avaient bien compris avant nous, français, en y laissant d'ineffaçables traces architecturales.

Sustainable Fashion, Migrants, Embroidery

Autor: Alessandra Lopez Y Royo

Número de Páginas: 241

Sustainable Fashion, Migrants, Embroidery: Ateliers of 'Social Integration' tells of community-led 'solidarity ateliers' engaged in sewing and embroidery activities which, in the Global North and Global South, are providing a vital alternative to neoliberal and neo-colonial fashion paradigms. On encountering several ateliers solidaires/sartorie sociali during her immersive fieldwork, for which she travelled to Morocco and Southern Italy, and contrasting her findings with her knowledge of parallel and analogous initiatives in London, Alessandra Lopez y Royo suggests that despite their different outlook and approach these ateliers can be inscribed within an ever-growing economy of solidarity and sharing. With a uniquely combined focus on sustainability, fashion and migration, Lopez y Royo examines how the ateliers foreground a powerful social inclusion agenda, encouraging migrants (and refugees) to collaborate, exchange knowledge, and foster communities on a level playing field with locals. Questioning widely accepted notions of 'empowerment' and 'social integration', and drawing on her background in archaeology and material culture studies, Lopez y Royo uses micro-studies to...

Concepts of Beauty in Renaissance Art

Autor: Francis Ames-lewis , Mary Rogers

Número de Páginas: 379

In this Volume, published in1998, Fifteen scholars reveal the ways of preserving, conceiving and creating beauty were as diverse as the cultural influenced at work at the time, deriving from antique, medieval and more recent literature and philosophy, and from contemporary notions of morality and courtly behaviour. Approaches include discussion of contemporary critical terms and how these determined writers’ appreciation of paintings, sculpture, architecture and costume; studies of the quest to create beauty in the work of artists such as Botticeli, Leonardo, Raphael, Parmigianino and Vasari; and the investigation of changes functioning of the eye and brain, or to technical innovations like those found in Venetian glass.

Collecting and the Princely Apartment

Autor: Susan Bracken

Número de Páginas: 235

Collecting is an obsession that goes back to the mists of history. While spare time and spare cash seem an absolute necessity for this kind of activity, every collector has his or her own approach to the formation of a collection. The way in which one’s treasures are displayed is another important instance in which one collector differs from another. Glass cases, niches, trays, cupboards, or drawers have been adopted; sometimes cards offer information on the subject, its age and provenance; an overall theme may have prompted the choice of the actual objects displayed together; security reasons suggest one room over another. While some collectors keep their treasures as close as possible—in their bedroom, throughout their living quarters, or in a locked up closet nearby—others may find that they want to be able to show off their collection without being disturbed by visitors in the rooms in which they actually spend most of their time. Certainly, our notions of private and public have changed considerably over the centuries and this has had an impact on questions of display and on the separation of particular parts of the house from other less accessible ones, in particular...

Father Torturo, the neo-decadent anti-hero, moves through a modern Italy reeking of incense and filth. In an adventure stained with magic and garnished with cruelty, he travels on an ambitious journey to popedom, where the only laws that restrain him are those of his own artistic taste.

The Influence of Italian Culture on the Sevillian Golden Age of Painting

Autor: Rafael Japón

Número de Páginas: 252

This book explores the cultural exchange between Italy and Spain in the seventeenth century, examining Spanish collectors’ predilection for Italian painting and its influence on Spanish painters. Focused on collecting and using a novel methodology, this volume studies how the painters of the Sevillian school, including Francisco Pacheco, Diego Velázquez, Alonso Cano and Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, perceived and were influenced by Italian painting. Through many examples, it is shown how the presence in Andalusia of various works and copies of works by artists such as Michelangelo, Caravaggio and Guido Reni inspired famous compositions by these Spanish artists. In addition, the book delves into the historical, political and social context of this period. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, Renaissance studies, and Italian and Spanish history.
