  • Borgo Pignano Press Pack 2021.Pdf
    PRESS PACK 2021 ABOUT BORGO PIGNANO Borgo Pignano is set in the heart of a picturesque 750-acre organic estate in Tuscany, where Etruscans were the first settlers. The estate is a short drive from the medieval hilltop towns of Volterra and San Gimignano and is only 1 hour’s drive from Florence. Today, this sensitively restored and privately-owned Borgo offers warm hospitality in a tranquil setting at 500 metres above sea level, with some of the most commanding views in all of Tuscany. ACCOMMODATION Accommodation is spread over the estate and includes: • The 18th century Villa • The Hamlet • La Canonica (The Priest’s House) • Individual luxury villas NEW for 2021: Refurbished Villa La Fonte New Villa La Lavandaia THE VILLA Borgo Pignano’s main building is an 18th century noble house, surrounded by traditionally planted English gardens overlooking pristine landscapes of Tuscany that have changed little since Renaissance times. The Villa offers 14 elegant rooms and suites, some with original frescoes and all with en- suite white marble and travertine bathrooms. A grand stone staircase leads to the upper floors also accessible by an elevator. Rooms are furnished with exquisite antiques, original artworks, Italian linens and chandeliers. The main villa also features spacious common rooms that complete the country house atmosphere: the library, billiard room, ballroom and lounge offer a variety of environments where guests can relax. LA CANONICA Dating back to the 13th century, La Canonica can be used as one large three-bedroomed house or, independently, divided as two separate suites. La Canonica, the Priest’s house, is located next to the ancient church of San Bartolomeo and contains original features such as medieval stonework, archways, columns, vaulted ceilings, terracotta floors and restored medieval frescoes.

  • Sezioni Mostra
    SEZIONI MOSTRA L’esposizione è suddivisa in tre sezioni : Prima della Spina La Spina dei Borghi Cavare la “spina” a San Pietro PRIMA DELLA SPINA Tramite sculture, affreschi, disegni, dipinti e cartografie si racconterà come questo territorio passò dall’essere marginale e inospitale ad esercitare una forte attrazione urbanistica su Roma divenendone parte integrante. Escluso dal perimetro delle mura, povero e malsano a causa dei frequenti straripamenti del Tevere, questo territorio iniziò ad esercitare una forte attrazione urbanistica su Roma solo a partire dalla prima età imperiale. A seguito di interventi di bonifica furono realizzate le prime ville suburbane le più famose delle quali appartenevano ad Agrippina e Domizia. Giardini dal ricco arredo scultoreo si alternavano a costruzioni sfruttando scenograficamente la topografia dei luoghi, vicini al fiume e prossimi ai rilievi del colle Vaticano, del Monte Santo Spirito e del Gianicolo. Lungo le due strade principali che attraversavano la zona, la via Triumphalis e la via Cornelia, si addensarono diversi monumenti funerari (tra le memorie più evidenti, oggi, il mausoleo di Adriano, la necropoli vaticana – sotto la Basilica – e quella dell’Autoparco Vaticano e di S. Rosa). Se il termine “ Vaticano ” è oggi immediatamente riconducibile a San Pietro e al cristianesimo, in età imperiale ebbe una valenza fortemente pagana : quest’area ospitò infatti un luogo di culto dedicato alla dea frigia Cibele chiamato, per l’appunto, Vaticanum o Phrygianum Vaticanum frequentato ancora fin quasi alla fine del IV sec. d.C ., in compresenza e forse in contrapposizione alla nuova fede emergente, il cristianesimo. Nel corso dell’alto medioevo, intorno alla Basilica si sviluppò una vera e propria area sacra con monasteri, diaconie, chiese: burgs era il termine con cui i pellegrini germanici definivano l’agglomerato da cui “Borgo”.

  • The Aqua Traiana / Aqua Paola and Their Effects on The
    THE AQUA TRAIANA / AQUA PAOLA AND THEIR EFFECTS ON THE URBAN FABRIC OF ROME Carolyn A. Mess A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Department of Architectural History In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Architectural History May 2014 Cammy Brothers __________________ Sheila Crane __________________ John Dobbins __________________ ii ABSTRACT Infrastructure has always played an important role in urban planning, though the focus of urban form is often the road system and the water system is only secondary. This is a misconception as often times the hydraulic infrastructure determined where roads were placed. Architectural structures were built where easily accessible potable water was found. People established towns and cities around water, like coasts, riverbanks, and natural springs. This study isolates two aqueducts, the Aqua Traiana and its Renaissance counterpart, the Aqua Paola. Both of these aqueducts were exceptional feats of engineering in their planning, building techniques, and functionality; however, by the end of their construction, they symbolized more than their outward utilitarian architecture. Within their given time periods, these aqueducts impacted an entire region of Rome that had twice been cut off from the rest of the city because of its lack of a water supply and its remote location across the Tiber. The Aqua Traiana and Aqua Paola completely transformed this area by improving residents’ hygiene, building up an industrial district, and beautifying the area of Trastevere. This study

  • Florence: the City of Memories
    _l_ - - .. .·.. •; ,I .. FLORENCE: THE CITY OF MEMORIES - -· E. M. P OMEROY ----'---------. ANY. readers among the English-speaking peoples of the M world, who day by day followed the progress of the war in Italy, sometimes gave at least a passing thought to the historic centres of the past which have become the historic scenes of the present. For a moment or so the war was forgotten, and some centre of art or religion which captured the imagination in the past again stood out clear in all its ancient glory. To the writer such a centre was Florence or, as the Italians write it, Firenze, which means the City of Flowers. It was indeed the City of Flowers when visited during Easter week some years ago, when war clouds seemed far distant. Almost every person met on the street was wearing lilies-of-the-valley; and never to­ be-forgotten were the rose-covered garden walls on the road to Fiesole. Yet even more to the traveller than the City of Flowers did it become The City of Memories. l\!Iemory transformed the humblest city street into holy ground. Perhaps, one mused, from this street, while standing on these very stones, the nine-year-old Dante caught his first glimpse of Beatrice. Perchance he was walking here when, in his mind, were crystallizing some of the imperishable lines of his Vila Nuova. Certain it is that he gazed with tear-dimmed eyes upon the hills of Fiesole and the beautiful valley of the Arno, as he left his native city to pass into exil&-:-never to return! Then one's thoughts turned to that ardent reformer and :fiery orator, Savonarola, who lived a hundred years later.

    Intercultural Understanding, 2019, volume 9, pages 30-38 Inter Cultural Studies of Architecture (ICSA) in Rome 2019 A general exchange agreement between Mukogawa Women’s University (MWU) and Bahçeúehir㻌 University (BAU) was signed㻌 on December 8, 2008. According to this agreement, 11 Japanese second-year master’s degree students majoring in architecture visited Italy from February 19, 2019, to March 2, 2019. The purpose of “Intercultural Studies of Architecture (ICSA) in Rome” program is to gain a deeper understanding of western architecture and art. Italy is a country well known for its extensive cultural heritage and architecture. Many of the western world’s construction techniques are based, on Italy’s heritage and architecture. Therefore, Italy was selected as the most appropriate destination for this program. Based on Italy’s historic background, the students were able to investigate the structure, construction methods, spatial composition, architectural style, artistic desires based on social conditions, and design intentions of architects and artists for various buildings. This year’s program focused on “ancient Roman architecture and sculpture,” “early Christian architecture,” “Renaissance architecture, sculpture, and garden,” and “Baroque architecture and sculpture. ” Before the ICSA trip to Rome, the students attended seminars on studying historic places during their visit abroad and were asked to make a presentation about the stuff that they learned during these seminars. During their trip to Rome, the students had the opportunity to deepen their understanding of architecture and art, measure the height and span of architecture, and draw sketches and make presentations related to some sites that they have visited. A report describing the details of this program is given below.

This epic poem would hardly have been so successful had she not previously writ- ten her political verse Casa Guidi Windows. In the two parts of this poem committed to the birth of the new nation, Barrett Browning reveals how deeply engaged she is in the Italian cause. Indeed, the last fifteen years of her artistic life were dedicated to the country which welcomed the poet and opened new perspectives in terms of poetical writing. From 1846 onwards, Barrett Browning unceasingly appealed to and supported the Italian people and openheartedly fought for the freedom of the country in her poems: Casa Guidi Windows, Poems Before Congress, and Last Poems published post- humously and after she had been buried in the English cemetery in Florence. Barrett Browning had a personal approach to Italy entirely different from her husband’s who could stroll about Florentine streets. She would stay behind her windows, as the title
