Genoa, Plan of 214 Hyères, Environs of 129 As the excursions from Hyères and Toulon are nearly the same, the environs of both towns are given on the same map. Italian Riviera, or the Riviera from Ventimiglia to Leghorn 199 Called also the Riviera di Ponente and the Riviera di Levante.

Nice, Plan of 171 Pisa, Plan of 224 The object of this plan is to enable tourists to find their way unaided to the Leaning Tower, the Cathedral, the Baptistery, and the Campo Santo or Cemetery. The frescoes on the walls of the Cemetery require the cultivated talent of an artist to appreciate. Those who have to remain over the night should take one of the hotels close to the station.

HOTELS, PRODUCTIONS, AND CLIMATE. The Riviera is a strip of land extending 323 miles along the coast of the Mediterranean at the foot of the Maritime Alps and their off-shoots. It is usually divided into two portions—the Riviera from Hyères to Genoa, 203 miles long; and the Riviera from Genoa to Leghorn, 112 miles long. Temperature. The milder and more frequented of the two is the former—the Western Riviera—which has been subjected to most careful and minute meteorological observations, and the various stations classified according to their supposed degree of temperature. Yet in the whole 203 miles the difference may be said to be imperceptible. No one station in all its parts is alike, the parts of each station differing more from each other than the stations themselves. Yet each station has some peculiarity which suits some people more than others; this peculiarity being more often accidental and social—such as the people met with, the lodgings, the general surroundings, and many other little things which exercise a more powerful influence upon the health and well-being of the mind and body than the mere fractional difference of temperature. None of the protecting mountains of any of the stations are sufficiently high, precipitous, and united to ward off the cold winds when the higher mountains behind are covered with snow. All the ridges have deep indentations through which the cold air, as well as the streams, descends to the plain. Hence no station is exempt from cold winds, and all delicate persons must ever be on their guard against them—the more 108 sunny and beautiful the day, especially in early spring, the greater is the danger. All the stations suffer also, more or less, from the famous Mistral, a north-west wind, which in winter on the Riviera feels like a north-west wind on a sunny summer day in Scotland. The mean winter temperature (November, December, and January) of Hyères, considered the coolest of the winter stations, is 47°.4 Fahr., and of San Remo, considered the mildest, 48°.89 Fahr. The coldest months are December and January. With February the temperature commences to rise progressively. Throughout the entire region bright and dusty weather is the rule, cloudy and wet weather the exception. Vegetation. “In December wild flowers are rare till after Christmas, when the long-bracted orchid, the purple anemone, and the violet make their appearance. These by the end of January have become abundant, and are quickly followed in February by crocuses, primroses, and pretty blue hepaticas. Meanwhile the star-anemones are springing up in the olive- woods, with periwinkles and rich red anemones.

The "mbrian c.r.d Honan School of Art RAPHAEL The Umbrian School of Art originated in Umbria, a province on the Tiber, and v;aa distinguished for the fervent religious feeling of its painters. It was in this province that St. Francis, of Assissi, the most famous saint of the middle ages, was born and lived, and it was owing to his presence and influence that the people were more deeply and strongly religious than those of the neighboring provinces. "Their painters," says a distinguished critic," strove above all things to express the mystic beauty of the Christian soul. Their art was the expression of the purest and holiest aspirations of Christian life." Kicolo Alunno, of Toligno - born in 1453, died in 1499 - is the first master in whom the distinct Umbrian' characteristics became apparent. His works have a dreamy, religious feeling; are superior in purity and brightness of color, and have much natural beauty.

Progetto editoriale: Angelo Pontecorboli Tutti i diritti riservati Angelo Pontecorboli Editore, Firenze www.pontecorboli.com – [email protected] ISBN 978-88-00000-00-0 2 Mariella Zoppi e European Garden ANGELO PONTECORBOLI EDITORE FIRENZE 3 4 C 5 Introduction As with all written histories of the garden, this one begins with the most ancient civilizations and thus dedicates much attention to the Roman Empire. is way, the ordinary has little that is ritual or can be foreseen and one can witness the true origins of gardens which arrived from western culture. ese origins were not lost in the centuries which passed by each other, but were a constant source of inspiration for the civilizations which came and went in the Mediterranean Basin. e Mediterranean, for an extremely long period stretching from 2000 BC to the late fourteenth century, was almost exclusively the scenery of western culture. Diverse peoples acquired economic and political hegemony, they imposed laws, customs and artistic models which merged with pre-existing backgrounds and styles which then expanded throughout Northern European and African countries. Ideas from the East, such as science, religion and artistic models, fil- tered throughout the Mediterranean. Nomadic populations reached Mediterranean shores and so cultures and customs were brought to- gether for several centuries in a relatively small circle. It was on the edges of the Mediterranean where the two fundamental ideas of gar- den design, the formal and the informal, were created and confronted each other. Here, the garden became the idealization of a perfect and immutable world, the mimesis of nature.

  • RAFFAELLO SANZIO Una Mostra Impossibile
    RAFFAELLO SANZIO Una Mostra Impossibile «... non fu superato in nulla, e sembra radunare in sé tutte le buone qualità degli antichi». Così si esprime, a proposito di Raffaello Sanzio, G.P. Bellori – tra i più convinti ammiratori dell’artista nel ’600 –, un giudizio indicativo dell’incontrastata preminenza ormai riconosciuta al classicismo raffaellesco. Nato a Urbino (1483) da Giovanni Santi, Raffaello entra nella bottega di Pietro Perugino in anni imprecisati. L’intera produzione d’esordio è all’insegna di quell’incontro: basti osservare i frammenti della Pala di San Nicola da Tolentino (Città di Castello, 1500) o dell’Incoronazione di Maria (Città del Vaticano, Pinacoteca Vaticana, 1503). Due cartoni accreditano, ad avvio del ’500, il coinvolgimento nella decorazione della Libreria Piccolomini (Duomo di Siena). Lo Sposalizio della Vergine (Milano, Pinacoteca di Brera, 1504), per San Francesco a Città di Castello (Milano, Pinacoteca di Brera), segna un decisivo passo di avanzamento verso la definizione dello stile maturo del Sanzio. Il soggiorno a Firenze (1504-08) innesca un’accelerazione a tale processo, favorita dalla conoscenza dei tra- guardi di Leonardo e Michelangelo: lo attestano la serie di Madonne con il Bambino, i ritratti e le pale d’altare. Rimonta al 1508 il trasferimento a Roma, dove Raffaello è ingaggiato da Giulio II per adornarne l’appartamento nei Palazzi Vaticani. Nella prima Stanza (Segnatura) l’urbinate opera in autonomia, mentre nella seconda (Eliodoro) e, ancor più, nella terza (Incendio di Borgo) è affiancato da collaboratori, assoluti responsabili dell’ultima (Costantino). Il linguaggio raffaellesco, inglobando ora sollecitazioni da Michelangelo e dal mondo veneto, assume accenti rilevantissimi, grazie anche allo studio dell’arte antica.
