  • 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.

  • Fabienne Moine Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Italian Poetry
    Fabienne Moine Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s Italian Poetry: Constructing National Identity and Shaping the Poetic Self After Elizabeth Barrett married the poet Robert Browning in 1846, the newly-wed couple settled in Italy, a soothing place for Elizabeth’s poor health and a land of psychological independence, very unlike the prison-like house of Wimpole Street where her father had kept her away from any suitor. From her Florentine windows in Casa Guidi, the famous poet contemplated Italian history in the making during the Risorgimento. There she wrote one of her best poems, Aurora Leigh (1856), an aesthetic autobiography in verse. 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

  • Passepartour 2019
    PASSEPARTOUR 2019 FIRENZE OLTRARNO THE KEYS OF ACCESSIBILITY Florence is a world heritage site and as such it must be accessible to all, without exclusion. Florence welcomes people with physical disabilities due to an abundance of pedestrian areas and accessible historical and artistic sites. It is also unde- niable that some routes of the city-center - similar to many other historical cities throughout the world - may present some difficulties for people using wheelchairs: for example narrow streets, tiny sidewalks that are not easily passable or not homogeneous pavement. To address this problem and provide information on which paths are the best to follow for people with physical disabilities, the Municipality of Florence in collaboration with Kinoa Srl have designed and published this Guide. The PASSEPARTOUR project is made up of four volumes, each describing four different tourist itineraries "without barriers". In addition, the guide provides a map of the historical city-center, highlighting all the areas that can be navigated with complete autonomy, or with the support of a helper. In addition, Kinoa has developed the navigation app Kimap, which acts as a companion tool to the guide for the mobility of disabled people. Kimap can be downloaded for free on every smartphone: the app shows the most accessible path to reach your desired destination and is constantly updated. We hope that this project will contribute to improve the tourist experi- ence for those visiting our marvellous City, opening the doors to its extraordinary heritage. Cecilia Del Re Councilor for Tourism of the City of Florence Florence is a world heritage site and as such it must be accessible to all, without exclusion.

TOURISTS, TICKETS AND TRANSFORMATIONS Jennifer Ann Ryde A thesis submitted to the University of Western Sydney for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June, 2013 Early Image of San Lorenzo - Codex Rustici. Dedication This thesis is dedicated to my parents Jack and Sheila Ryde who were always unwavering in their support and encouragement in my life choices. This project would not have been possible without their love and care. Acknowledgements My profound thanks go to my supervisors Dr Pamela James and Dr Russell Staiff for their outstanding mentorship throughout this endeavour. They have provided me with insight, guidance, valuable discussions, enthusiasm for my research and the determination to complete. I also thank Dr Carol Liston whose encouragement was crucial to commencing this thesis. Thanks also go to my family, friends and colleagues who have been a constant source of support and encouragement especially during difficult moments of self- doubt. Particular thanks go to my Italian colleague Dr Bruno Di Biase who has been a mentor since my early days in academia and without whose ongoing support I would not have embarked on this journey. My research would have been more difficult if not for the support of the University of Western Sydney librarians, especially Ms Narelle Oliver, always most generous with her time and energy, and also Ms Jenny Davis who sought out obscure Italian texts for me. Finally, special mention goes to my wonderful daughter Alessandra for her unwavering encouragement and unconditional support as well as her technical advice and expertise. Statement of Authentication The work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original except as acknowledged in the text.

  • New York University at La Pietra
    NEW YORK UNIVERSITY AT LA PIETRA ITALY AND ITALIANS IN ENGLISH LITERATURE FROM THE ROMANTICS TO MODERNISM PROF. DOROTHEA BARRETT Thursdays 10.30 – 1.15 PROFESSOR: DOROTHEA BARRETT (cell phone 3487295602; e-mail addresses: [email protected] and [email protected]) Ph.D. Cambridge University 1987. Dorothea Barrett has taught at Beijing Normal University (China), Glasgow University (Scotland), and the University of Florence. She is the author of Vocation and Desire: George Eliot's Heroines and various articles; she has edited works by George Eliot, Oscar Wilde, E. M. Forster, James Joyce, Katherine Mansfield, and others. COURSE DESCRIPTION: Romantic, Victorian, and Modernist writers in both Britain and the United States were fascinated by Italy. Shelly and Byron were inspired by the hope of a new political dawn in the Italian Risorgimento. Robert Browning, George Eliot, and E. M. Forster saw the transition from Medieval to Renaissance culture in Florence as mirroring and offering an example for their own struggles to free themselves from the repression and religious orthodoxy of Victorian England. Henry James and Edith Wharton saw Italy as beautiful and dangerous in equal measure and used it as the setting of stories about the clash of old world and new world cultures. T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound were both profoundly influenced by Dante.
