The Old Bridge in Italy
The Old Bridge in Italy The Old Bridge in Italy Manjula Raman Ponte Vecchio In Italy, there is a city named Florence. The Arno River runs through it. And the Ponte Vecchio stands over the Arno. What is the Ponte Vecchio? Well, its name means "Old Bridge" in Italian. And it is an old bridge. It was built in the 1300s! It was built to take the place of another bridge that had been there. That other bridge had been washed away in a flood. The Ponte Vecchio is easy to recognize. That's because of the shops built on it. These shops are on both sides of the bridge. They have windows with shutters. Parts of them stick out over the water! But so far, the shops and the bridge have stood the test of time. ReadWorks.org · © 2017 ReadWorks®, Inc. All rights reserved.

Raffa: Dante's Political Life Bibliotheca Dantesca, 3 (2020): 1-25 DANTE’S POLITICAL LIFE GUY P. RAFFA, The University of Texas at Austin The approach of the seven-hundredth anniversary of Dante’s death is a propi- tious time to recall the events that drove him from his native Florence and marked his life in various Italian cities before he found his final refuge in Ra- venna, where he died and was buried in 1321. Drawing on early chronicles and biographies, modern historical research and biographical criticism, and the poet’s own writings, I construct this narrative of “Dante’s Political Life” for the milestone commemoration of his death. The poet’s politically-motivated exile, this biographical essay shows, was destined to become one of the world’s most fortunate misfortunes. Keywords: Dante, Exile, Florence, Biography The proliferation of biographical and historical scholarship on Dante in recent years, after a relative paucity of such work through much of the twentieth century, prompted a welcome cluster of re- flections on this critical genre in a recent volume of Dante Studies. -

Dino's book is in form the history of a particular fact, namely, the division of the Guelf party in Florence into the White and the Black Guelfs, with its attendant circumstances, its causes, and its results : but under this form is unfolded at the same time the history of the steps by which the wealthy traders of Florence (jfropolani, popolani grassi, and collectively popolo grasso) organised in the greater guilds (see Appendix II.) acquired and retained the control of the machinery of govern- ment in the city and its outlying territory (contado), excluding (practically) from all participation therein on the one hand the Magnates (i.e. -
Archeologia Della Media E Bassa Valle Dell'ombrone: I Progetti Santa Marta
BOLLETTINO DI ARCHEOLOGIA ON LINE DIREZIONE GENERALE ARCHEOLOGIA, BELLE ARTI E PAESAGGIO X, 2019/3-4 STEFANO CAMPANA*, EMANUELE VACCARO** ARCHEOLOGIA DELLA MEDIA E BASSA VALLE DELL’OMBRONE: I PROGETTI SANTA MARTA (CINIGIANO, GR) E EMPTYSCAPES The paper presents two research projects both located in the middle and lower valley of Ombrone river. The first- one, SMART project, is focused on the archaeological site of Santa Marta, a central place existing from the Late Republican Roman period up to modern times. It was identified in 2006 in the framework of the Archaeological Mapping program of the Province of Grosseto. In 2012, excavations were focused on the northern area where buildings belonging to a late Republican rustic farm or villa were brought to light, partly abandoned already in the mid-1st century CE. At short distance to the east, the opening of a second area allowed the identification of a sequence of religious buildings, of which the earliest, a three-apses church, predates the late 9th-10thcentury BC, while the most recent church corresponds to a funerary chapel in use until to the 16th/17th century CE. Only at the end of the 2013 excavation campaign, the surveys extended to the southern complex. In this area there is a continuity of occupation between the second and first half of the 7thcentury CE, albeit in the face of significant architectural, topographical and functional transformations. The second project is named Emptyscapes and consists of an interdisciplinary program designed to stimulate changes in the traditional ways in which scholars approach the study of the archaeology of landscapes - that is, to move from an essentially site-based approach to a more comprehensive landscape-scale perspective. -
1 Santo Spirito in Florence: Brunelleschi, the Opera, the Quartiere and the Cantiere Submitted by Rocky Ruggiero to the Universi
Santo Spirito in Florence: Brunelleschi, the Opera, the Quartiere and the Cantiere Submitted by Rocky Ruggiero to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Art History and Visual Culture In March 2017. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature)…………………………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract The church of Santo Spirito in Florence is universally accepted as one of the architectural works of Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1446). It is nevertheless surprising that contrary to such buildings as San Lorenzo or the Old Sacristy, the church has received relatively little scholarly attention. Most scholarship continues to rely upon the testimony of Brunelleschi’s earliest biographer, Antonio di Tuccio Manetti, to establish an administrative and artistic initiation date for the project in the middle of Brunelleschi’s career, around 1428. Through an exhaustive analysis of the biographer’s account, and subsequent comparison to the extant documentary evidence from the period, I have been able to establish that construction actually began at a considerably later date, around 1440. It is specifically during the two and half decades after Brunelleschi’s death in 1446 that very little is known about the proceedings of the project. A largely unpublished archival source which records the machinations of the Opera (works committee) of Santo Spirito from 1446-1461, sheds considerable light on the progress of construction during this period, as well as on the role of the Opera in the realization of the church. -
A Montelupo Fiorentino Un Itinerari Turistico Tra Le Ceramiche
A MONTELUPO FIORENTINO UN ITINERARIO TURISTICO TRA LE CERAMICHE A MONTELUPO FIORENTINO UN ITINERARIO TURISTICO TRA LE CERAMICHE Panorama-Montelupo Fiorentino-Firenze Montelupo Fiorentino (FI) si appresta a vivere un evento che celebra la ceramica, materiale che ha caratterizzato e continua a contraddistinguere in maniera preponderante la storia, la cultura e l’imprenditorialità della cittadina toscana. Dal 21 al 23 giugno 2019, infatti, in vari luoghi del centro storico, va in scena CÈRAMICA 2019, la Festa Internazionale della Ceramica, giunta alla sua XXVII edizione. Saranno tre giorni ricchi d’iniziative, promosse dal Comune di Montelupo e Fondazione Museo Montelupo onlus, main sponsor COLOROBBIA, che spaziano dall’arte all’artigianato, dalla cultura del ‘saper fare’ delle industrie del comparto ceramico locale, alla gastronomia e a molto altro ancora. Ma sarà un lungo fine settimana che consentirà ai visitatori di scoprire un borgo, alle porte di Firenze, che si distingue per le sue bellezze architettoniche e le eccellenze artistiche, come la Prioria di San Lorenzo e la Chiesa di San Giovanni Evangelista che ospita unapala attribuita a Botticelli, le installazioni di arte moderna realizzate da famosi designer e artisti contemporanei, le botteghe di ceramica e soprattutto il Museo della Ceramica e il parco dell’Ambrogiana che circonda la Villa Medicea. Prioria di San Lorenzo- Montelupo Fiorentino-Firenze Ceramica: tradizione locale antichissima Passeggiando in centro storico si possono ammirare le torri e mura trecentesche, la fontana dell’architetto contemporaneo Marco Dezzi Bardeschi, la Pieve di San Giovanni Evangelista, la Prioria di San Lorenzo e Casa Sinibaldi. In centro si affacciano alcune delle botteghe della ceramica, aziende che portano avanti una tradizione locale antichissima, che risale all’epoca medicea, in particolare tra il 1400 e il 1530, quando Montelupo era il centro di produzione della maiolica per la città di Firenze. -

The Fennel Fields a Little Scene Setting
A HISTORY OF BORGO FINOCCHIETO by Judy Canton, with side notes by Mary Grace Hicks The Fennel Fields Finocchieto is a charming name. Finocchio is sweet fennel and finocchieto means fennel orchard or fennel fields, just as frutto is fruit and frutteto means orchard. Sweet fennel grows wild all over Tuscany in fields, hedgerows, at roadsides, along the railway, and in gardens. Finocchieto was no doubt known locally for the wild fennel plants growing around the slopes of Bibbiano. It has certainly had the name since 1318, and maybe for much longer. To this day, when the wild fennel seeds ripen every year at the end of August, gatherers of all types and both sexes go to work collecting the seeds that will stud the delicious local salami, finocchiona, with flavor. It has been eaten for centuries, usually on thick slices of unsalted bread and accompanied with a glass of red wine. The farm at Finocchieto, like many Tuscan country properties no longer in agricultural use, has found a new lease on life. Its name, however, will link it to the old way of life and the tradition of eating slices of finocchiona with bread and wine will remind those who enjoy its stone walls and quiet, beautiful setting of the thousands who have already appreciated the same delights in its long history. A Little Scene Setting The part of Italy where Finocchieto was built has a long prehistory; - 228 - a long period of settlement before we have evidence of the farm’s existence. Navigable rivers and valleys were of fundamental importance in the siting of early settlements and in spreading cultural influence. -

Il sistema insediativo della collina si struttura lungo la Valle del fiume Ombrone (borghi fortificati medievali, lo- calizzati in posizione strategica - sulla sommità o a mezza costa - e sviluppati lungo i percorsi collinari) e sulle Colline dell’Albegna (nuclei compatti medievali - rocche, edifici religiosi, castelli e borghi - arroccati sulle sommità dei versanti e lungo la viabilità di crinale). Qui i nuclei, spesso di impianto medievale - collocati in posizione dominante, dalla morfologia compatta, non di rado murati (Pereta, Magliano, Montiano, Pari, Casale di Pari, Cinigiano, Civitella Marittima, Sasso d’Ombrone, Campagnatico, Batignano), hanno visto salvaguardati i rapporti originari con l’intorno coltivato. -
Human Impact on Sediment Yield and Channel Dynamics in the Arno River Basin (Central Italy)
Human Impact on Erosion and Sedimentation (Proceedings of Rabat Symposium S6, April 1997). 301 IAHS Publ. no. 245, 1997 Human impact on sediment yield and channel dynamics in the Arno River basin (central Italy) PAOLO BILLI & MASSIMO RINALDI Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile, Università di Firenze, Via S. Marta 3, 1-50139 Firenze, Italy Abstract The Arno River basin has been subjected to human disturbance and modification since Roman times. Until 1800 the main aims of such modifications were to provide flood protection for adjacent towns and to acquire new land for cultivation. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries the Arno River basin underwent additional significant modifica tions, including reforestation, upland sediment retention, a huge increase in bed material exploitation, the construction of two reservoirs and bank protection works. The combination of reduced sediment supply and increas ed sediment transport capacity resulted in extensive streambed degradation that threatened the stability of several bridges and other structures. In order to identify the dominant channel changes and the relationship between verti cal and lateral adjustments, a comparison of many cross-sections spanning a period of more than one century was made. The relative importance of human activity in causing channel adjustment compared with natural changes, such as the progressively lower runoff recorded during the last seven decades, is discussed. INTRODUCTION A river and its catchment make up a very complex natural system embracing the interaction of many factors. The streambed morphology is the ultimate expression of all the physical processes operating at the basin scale, but it is primarily influenced by streamflow and sediment supply.
