Dopo la prima edizione, svoltasi a Nairobi nel 2002, il World Urban Forum ha avuto sede a Barcellona nel 2004, a Vancouver nel 2006, a Nanjing nel 2008 e a Rio de Janeiro nel 2010, crescendo fino a diventare il più importante “spazio” per lo scambio di conoscenze, esperienze e soluzioni su come controllare e programmare la crescita delle città. L’edizio- ne napoletana del 2012, organizzata in collaborazione con il Governo Italiano, la Regione Campania e il Comune di Napoli, in collaborazione Provincia di Napoli, verterà sul tema “Il Futuro Urbano” ed esaminerà le implicazioni del sempre maggiore incremento demo- grafico, per trovare nuove forme e soluzioni volte al miglioramento della qualità della vita. Il Forum vedrà la partecipazione di rappresentanti di Governi nazionali e locali, delle Uni- versità, e di tutti coloro che vorranno confrontarsi nelle sessioni tematiche di dialogo, strutturate sia in dibattiti aperti, che in eventi di networking, tavole rotonde e seminari di formazione. Nei giorni del Forum, avranno inoltre luogo, all’interno e all’esterno della Mo- stra d’Oltremare una serie di eventi collaterali: mostre e spettacoli pensati per coinvolgere l’intera città sui temi e le discussioni del Forum. continua a pagina 24 THE WORLD URBAN FORUM 6 IN NAPLES The sixth edition of the World Urban Forum – an international meeting founded and organ- ised every two years by UN-Habitat – will be held from the 1 to the 7 September 2012 in the Mostra d’Oltremare in Naples. The Forum is organised by the United Nations Agency en- trusted with the promotion of sustainable urban development in our cities and the monitor- ing of the phenomenon of urbanisation and its impact on our communities and economies. After the first edition, held in Nairobi in 2002, the World Urban Forum was then held in Barcelona in 2004, in Vancouver in 2006, in Nanjing in 2008, and in Rio de Janeiro in 2010, progressively grown to become the most important platforms for the exchange of know- how, experience and solutions aimed towards the sustainable growth and development of our cities. The Naples edition to be held in 2012, organised in collaboration with the Italian Government, the Campania Regional Authorities and the Municipality of Naples, in collabo- ration with the Province of Naples, will focus on the theme “The Urban Future”, examining the implications of ever-increasing demographic growth to identify new solutions aimed at improving the quality of life. National and local government bodies will participate in the Forum as well as universities and other individuals and entities who wish to take part in a series of thematic discussions structured around a number of open debates, networking events, round tables and train- ing workshops. During the Forum, a series of collateral events will be organised within and outside the Mostra d’Oltremare: exhibitions and performances which will involve the entire city regarding the themes and topics of discussion of the Forum. continued on page 9 World Urban Forum 6 < 5 Napoli protagonista ALL EYES ON NAPLES NAPLES - 6 Da quanto si dica, si narri, o si dipinga, Napoli il dominio di Ostrogoti, Bizantini, Normanni, From what one can say, or narrate, or paint, Normans, Swabians, Anjous, Aragonese, Bour- supera tutto: la riva, la baia, il golfo, il Vesuvio, Svevi, Angioini, Aragonesi, Borbone che, tra Naples exceeds all: its shore, the bay, the gulf, bons which – in a veritable progression of adven- WUF © Alessandra Pirera la città, le vicine campagne, i castelli, le pas- alterne vicende, portarono il Regno verso l’era Vesuvius, the city, the surrounding country- tures – have accompanied the city to the present seggiate… Io scuso tutti coloro ai quali la vista moderna.

A hedonic model for estimating the efects of transit systems on real estate values is specifed and calibrated for the city of Naples. Te model is used to estimate the external benefts concerning property values which may be attributed to the Naples metro at the present time and in two future scenarios. Te results show that only high-frequency metro lines have appreciable efects on real estate values, while low-frequency metro lines and bus lines produce no signifcant impacts. Our results show that the impacts on real estate values of the metro system in Naples are signifcant, with corresponding external benefts estimated at about 7.2 billion euros or about 8.5% of the total value of real estate assets. 1. Introduction lower environmental impacts produced by less use of private cars, investments in transit systems, especially in railways Urban transit systems play a fundamental role for the social and metros, may generate an appreciable increase in property and economic development of large urban areas, as well as values in the zones served; this beneft should be explicitly signifcantly afecting the quality of life in such areas.

  • Ceremonial Demarcations. the Viceregal Court As Space of Political Communication in the Spanish Monarchy (Valencia, Naples, and Mexico 1621–1635)
    Ceremonial Demarcations. The Viceregal Court as Space of Political Communication in the Spanish Monarchy (Valencia, Naples, and Mexico 1621–1635) Christian Büschges In political and political-historical pamphlets of the Enlightenment and the nineteenth century as well as in traditional political history, ceremony has been seen as an embellishing, vain, and superfluous accessory of the ‘real’, rational, political acts that were regulated by legal norms and institutions. Modern historiography, on the other hand, taking into account sociological and ethnological approaches, emphasises the specific rationality and political nature of ceremony, which is, in turn, only a form of expressing the symbolic dimension inherent in every political communication and interaction.1 At the early-modern court the function of ceremony, which stood out from the spontaneous, individual, everyday acts, lay in making visible the system of monarchical rule and the social and political ranks inherent in it. Ceremony granted the courtiers a visible position in the oft-disputed curial ranking and at the same time fitted external visitors into this symbolic representation of hierarchy.2 Using the example of the court of Louis XIV of France, Norbert Elias, in his study on the ‘court society’ (Die höfische Gesellschaft), which sparked the revival of modern court research, considered ceremony as an exclusive instru- ment of power of monarchical absolutism.3 While Elias coined the image of the court as a ‘golden cage’ used by the absolutist ruler to domesticate the nobility, he also pointed out the ‘very specific network of interdependencies’ that connected the king as primus inter pares to the noble court society and 1 Barbara Stollberg-Rilinger, ‘Zeremoniell als politisches Verfahren.

  • Art and Politics at the Neapolitan Court of Ferrante I, 1458-1494
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: KING OF THE RENAISSANCE: ART AND POLITICS AT THE NEAPOLITAN COURT OF FERRANTE I, 1458-1494 Nicole Riesenberger, Doctor of Philosophy, 2016 Dissertation directed by: Professor Meredith J. Gill, Department of Art History and Archaeology In the second half of the fifteenth century, King Ferrante I of Naples (r. 1458-1494) dominated the political and cultural life of the Mediterranean world. His court was home to artists, writers, musicians, and ambassadors from England to Egypt and everywhere in between. Yet, despite its historical importance, Ferrante’s court has been neglected in the scholarship. This dissertation provides a long-overdue analysis of Ferrante’s artistic patronage and attempts to explicate the king’s specific role in the process of art production at the Neapolitan court, as well as the experiences of artists employed therein. By situating Ferrante and the material culture of his court within the broader discourse of Early Modern art history for the first time, my project broadens our understanding of the function of art in Early Modern Europe. I demonstrate that, contrary to traditional assumptions, King Ferrante was a sophisticated patron of the visual arts whose political circumstances and shifting alliances were the most influential factors contributing to his artistic patronage. Unlike his father, Alfonso the Magnanimous, whose court was dominated by artists and courtiers from Spain, France, and elsewhere, Ferrante differentiated himself as a truly Neapolitan king. Yet Ferrante’s court was by no means provincial. His residence, the Castel Nuovo in Naples, became the physical embodiment of his commercial and political network, revealing the accretion of local and foreign visual vocabularies that characterizes Neapolitan visual culture.

  • PRESS RELEASE in a Augur Tion of New Station Naples-Garibaldi by Dominique Perrault
    PRESS RELEASE IN A AUGUR TION OF NEW STATION Naples-GARIBALDI BY DOMINIQUE perraULT © DPA / Adagp After two achievements in the north of Italy – the NH-Fieramilano Hotel in the northwest of Milan delivered in 2008 and the redesigning of the Piazza Gramsci (2004), central place of Cinisello Balsamo, city located a few kilometres from the Milan capital-, Dominique Perrault makes his mark in the southern provinces of the peninsula, benefiting from the upcoming arrival of a metro station to orchestrate the –in-depth- transforma- tion of a major public space in the heart of Naples: The Piazza Garibaldi. After a striking proposition made on the occasion of the international architecture competition for the creation of the future TGV Napoli station - Afragola (Treno Alta Velocita) in 2003 - the architect of the Grande Bibliothèque is entrusted, from 2004, by the Metropolitana di Napoli with the studies for the redesigning of the Piazza Garibaldi, but also the realisation of the eponym subway station on the new line 1. It’s an effervescent scene where the Neapolitan intensity explodes, and where more than 50 millions of people pass by every year. The Piazza Garibaldi on which watches over- face to the central station - the statue of the man called “the hero of the Two Worlds” gathers in a happy chaos the historic heart of Naples and the new business district set up on the former warehouses of the City: the Centro Direzionale. This square is a link of almost 6 hectares. It relies on a heterogeneous built heritage, and until now it was used as a huge available space serving the intermodality and the moving, without properly qualifying the public space to host the urban practices, and only offers to the residents, travellers and walkers, few spaces dedicated to the ramble and the relaxation.

  • A Scenographic Solution for a Neapolitan Bridge in the Beginning of Nineteenth Century
    A scenographic solution for a Neapolitan bridge in the beginning of nineteenth century C. Ceraldi, V. Mormone and E.R. Ermolli University of Naples, Department of Construction and Mathematical Methods in Architecture, Naples, Italy M. Lippiello Second University of Naples, Department of Civil Engineering, Aversa, Italy V. Tempone Second University of Naples, Department of History of Architecture and Anthropic Environment, Aversa Italy ABSTRACT: Object of the present study is the masonry bridge, still standing, built for King Ferdinand I of Bourbon, in 1818, by the court scenographer and architect Antonio Niccolini, in the Villa Floridiana Park in Naples. The original drawing, plan and front view, of Niccolini’s design is kept in the Archive of the Saint Martin Museum in Naples. The bridge, made of Nea- politan tuff and bricks, with a single polycentric arch, spanning thirty metres, can be ascribed to the typology of lightened tympanum bridges, in which continuum masonry in the backfills is substituted by a system of vaults leaning upon the extrados of the underlying arch. The static behaviour of the bridge will be studied, basing upon a detailed survey and an accurate examina- tion of the historical sources, also employing the graphical methods known at the age of its re- alization. 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Antonio Niccolini, scenographer and architect Notices about the life and first education of the scenographer and architect Antonio Niccolini, born in Tuscany (at San Miniato in the district of Pisa), the 21 April 1772, can be deduced by his autobiography, “Memories of my life”, written in 1847, now kept in the Neapolitan National Library, Mancini (1964).
