Palladio is focusing on their similar approaches of the considered as one of the most influential conservation works for the building. architects in the history of European architecture. Many of his works were found in all over Italy. However, the three points of areas of study are in Vicenza, Verona, and Venice.

This trip was considered as an architectural trail for where the students were trying to find and history and character of Italian architecture.

  • Ancient Battles Guido Beltramini
    Ancient Battles Guido Beltramini In 1575 Palladio published an illustrated Italian edition of Julius Caesar’s Commentaries. Five years later, his death halted the publication of Polybius’ Histories, which included forty-three engravings showing armies deployed at various battles: from Cannae to Zamas, Mantinea and Cynoscephalae. At the height of his career, Palladio invested time, energy and money into two publishing ventures far removed from architecture. In fact the two publications were part of a world of military matters which had attracted Palladio’s interest since his youth, when it formed an integral part of his education undertaken by Giangiorgio Trissino. As John Hale has shown, sixteenth-century Venice was one of the most active centres in Europe for military publications dealing with matters such as fortifications, tactics, artillery, fencing and even medicine. The distinguishing element in the Venetian production of such books was the widespread belief in the importance of the example of the Classical Greek and Roman writers, shared by men of letters and professional soldiers. This was combined with particular care shown towards the reader. The books were supplemented with tables of contents, indices, marginal notes and even accompanied by the publication of compendia illustrating the texts, such as the series entitled Gioie (‘Gems’) which Gabriele Giolito published from 1557 to 1570 (Hale 1980, pp. 257-268). Fig 1: Valerio Chiericati, manuscript of Della Many of the leading players in this milieu were linked to Trissino, albeit Milizia.

  • Dal Centro Di Vicenza Al Lago Di Fimon
    Passeggiandoinbicicletta.it In bicicletta dal Centro di Vicenza al Lago di Fimon Da vedere: VICENZA Il toponimo della bellissima Vicenza ha delle origini un po’ incerte: sembra e che il primo nome dato dai veneti alla città sia stato Berga, nome totalmente variato dai romani che la chiamarono Vicetia o Vincentia o Vicentia (forse dal nome della tribù che venne a colonizzarne il territorio). Vicenza è senza dubbio una fra le più antiche città del Veneto anche se la sua storia precedente la dominazione romana è poco nota; è possibile attribuire la sua fondazione agli Euganei molto prima che Roma conquistasse il Veneto (177-178 a.C.). Dopo gli Euganei vi furono i Paleoveneti e poi ancora i Galli che dominarono il territorio fino al 157 a.C., anno in cui subentrarono i Romani. Durante l'impero romano la città divenne ricca e prosperosa; alle bellezze naturali del luogo in cui sorgeva si aggiunsero bellezze artistiche: sono arrivati sino a noi i resti del teatro Berga, degli acquedotti ,della via Postumia, a dimostrazione della ricchezza della Vicenza romana (che fu anche sede temporanea dell'imperatore Teodosio). Dopo la caduta dell’impero e la successiva calata in Italia dei Barbari anche questa città conobbe la guerra e la distruzione e ritornò a fiorire solo con la venuta degli Ostrogoti e di Teodorico il Grande (493-526). Pace e tranquillità purtroppo non durarono a lungo: i Bizantini, infatti, conquistarono l’ Italia e solo dopo pochi anni i Longobardi conquistarono Vicenza, per essere poi soppiantati dai Franchi. Nel periodo vescovile (precedentemente all'era dei Comuni) Vicenza si risollevò perché i suoi vescovi lavorarono per tener lontane le varie famiglie feudali che la attorniavano: i signori di Marostica, di San Bonifacio, di Bassano ma dovette cedere di fronte ai signori più potenti: gli Ezzelini prima, i Carraresi, gli Scaligeri e i Visconti poi, sino a quando, nel 1404, la città si diede spontaneamente alla Repubblica di Venezia.

  • A Formal Language for Palladian Palazzo Façades Represented by A
    Buthayna H. Eilouti Research Department of Architectural A Formal Language for Palladian Palazzo Engineering Jordan University of Science Façades Represented by a String and Technology Recognition Device POB 3030 Irbid 22110, JORDAN Abstract. This article represents an effort to reveal a new [email protected] interpretation of the expression ‘the architectural language of Palladian designs’ that is closer to real linguistic paradigms than Keywords: architectural it usually means. Palladian designs exhibit a highly ordered and language, string recognition, well articulated formal language comprised of a finite set of visual study, design vocabulary elements in plan, elevation and volumetric treatment, computation, Palladian together with an implicit set of mathematical rules for the language, finite state automata, arrangement of these rudimentary elements. The scope of this FSA application, façade article is limited to the morphology of the façades of the first morphology nine buildings shown in the second book of Palladio’s treatise, specifically the palazzo designs that he presents in chapter three. The morphology is described in terms of a symbolic encoding system that is represented textually and graphically as a finite state automaton, the concept of which is borrowed from theories of formal languages and computation. The system helps to emphasize commonalities in façade languages and to propose a prototype for generating Palladian palazzo façade designs. The automaton-based encoding system may be developed to function as a base for a computerized façade encoder and decoder. Regular language processing and recognition Studies of formal languages, and their structural and computational representations in linguistics, computer science and related fields as well as their applications, are well- established (e.g., [Chomsky 1964]; [Aho and Ullman 1972]; [Salomaa 1973]; [Harrison 1978]; [Hopcroft and Ullman 1979]; [Linz 1997]; [Revesz 1983]).

  • Lex Hermans, Dynastic Pride in the Farnese Theatre at Parma (Summary)
    Lex Hermans Dynastic Pride in the Farnese Theatre at Parma From 1615 onwards Duke Ranuccio I of Parma and Piacenza (1569–1622) sought to arrange a marriage between his son Odoardo (born 1612) and a Medici princess. When in 1617 it was announced that Cosimo II of Tuscany would travel to Milan, Ranuccio saw this as an opportunity to entertain the grand duke on his progress. He had built a huge theatre in his palace at Parma, with capacity to seat some 1,500 guests, which was arranged according to ideas about courtly theatres that were developed over the sixteenth century. It is an impressive architectonic construction, richly decorated with meaningful paintings and statues, and designed for broadcasting its patron’s status and magnificence to foreign guests and local notables. In this essay, the structure and the decoration of the Teatro Farnese are considered as a ‘distributed portrait’; the theatre was a visual portfolio of Ranuccio’s various qualities. The statues of personified virtues, evenly divided between followers of the goddess of war and of the Muses, the deities to which the duke dedicated the theatre, testified to his balanced rule and fair way of acting, to his magnanimity, and to his pursuit of the arts. The form of the theatre itself also shows this double connection: it can be used as an arena for indoor jousting and military ‘ballets’, and it contains a stage where to perform musical and theatrical shows. The architectural shell, with its palace-like stage set and its two tiers of Serlian arches would remind visitors of the renaissance tradition that identified theatres as the original places of government assemblies.

  • Anna Irene Del Monaco
    The Shri Radha-Radhanath Temple of Understanding in the formerly Indian township of Chatsworth, Durban. Photo: Anna Irene Del Monaco. 120 Theaters and cities. Flânerie between global north-south metropolis on the traces of migrant architectural models ANNA IRENE DEL MONACO, FRANCESCO MENEGATTI Sapienza Università di Roma; Politecnico di Milano [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: Theaters around the world are linked by architectural features besides programs and music. (AIDM: A.I. Del Monaco; FM: Francesco Menegatti) The conversation begins by commenting on the concert by Martha Argerich and Daniel Baremboim with the Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala held in Piazza Duomo on May 12, 2016 in Milan. The Concerto in Sol by Ravel is scheduled in the program. The hybrid Neoclassicism of theaters in the modern city between the Eighteenth and Nineteenth centuries: the Teatro alla Scala in Milan - the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires - the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow - the Sans Souci Theater in Kolkata - the Teatro Massimo in Palermo. AIDM: The Argerich-Baremboim concert and the La Scala Philharmonic Orchestra set up in Piazza Duomo en plein air with 40,000 spectators seems to have been a great success. The two ultra-seventies artists, born in Argentina, seemed at their ease ... two classical music stars within the scenography of Milan urban scenes ... the Cathedral on the right of the stage and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in front of the orchestra. This shows how the urban architecture of Italian historical cities, even when it is composed of architectures from different eras, is able to represent a perfect stage, both formal and informal, and the music is always done on the street, en plein air, as we learn, among other things, from the quintet of Luigi Boccherini of 1780 Night music on the streets of Madrid.
