  • Path to Rome Walk May 8 to 20, 2018
    Path to Rome Walk May 8 to 20, 2018 “A delight—great food and wine, beautiful countryside, lovely hotels and congenial fellow travelers with whom to enjoy it all.” —Alison Anderson, Italian Lakes Walk, 2016 RAVEL a portion of the Via Francigena, the pilgrimage route that linked T Canterbury to Rome in the Middle Ages, following its route north of Rome through olive groves, vineyards and ancient cypress trees. Discover the pleasures of Central Italy’s lesser-known cities, such as Buonconvento, Bolsena, Caprarola and Calcata. With professor of humanities Elaine Treharne as our faculty leader and Peter Watson as our guide, we refresh our minds, bodies and souls on our walks, during which we stop to picnic on hearty agrarian cuisine and enjoy the peace and quiet that are hallmarks of these beautiful rural settings. At the end of our meanderings, descend from the hills of Rome via Viale Angelico to arrive at St. Peter’s Basilica, the seat of Catholicism and home to a vast store of art treasures, including the Sistine Chapel. Join us! Faculty Leader Professor Elaine Treharne joined the Stanford faculty in 2012 in the School of Humanities and Sciences as a Professor of English. She is also the director of the Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis. Her main research focuses on early medieval manuscripts, Old and Middle English religious poetry and prose, and the history of handwriting. Included in that research is her current project, which looks at the materiality of textual objects, together with the patterns that emerge in the long history of text technologies, from the earliest times (circa 70,000 B.C.E.) to the present day.

  • The Forests of Tuscany (Italy) in the Last Century
    Article Forest Surface Changes and Cultural Values: The Forests of Tuscany (Italy) in the Last Century Francesco Piras, Martina Venturi *, Federica Corrieri, Antonio Santoro and Mauro Agnoletti Department of Agriculture, Food, Environment and Forestry (DAGRI), University of Florence, Via San Bonaventura 13, 50145 Florence, Italy; francesco.piras@unifi.it (F.P.); federica.corrieri@unifi.it (F.C.); antonio.santoro@unifi.it (A.S.); mauro.agnoletti@unifi.it (M.A.) * Correspondence: martina.venturi@unifi.it Abstract: Despite the definition of social and cultural values as the third pillar of Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) in 2003 and the guidelines for their implementation in SFM in 2007 issued by the Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forest in Europe (MCPFE), the importance of cultural values is not sufficiently transferred into forest planning and conservation. Tuscany is widely known for the quality of its cultural landscape, however, the abandonment of agro-pastoral surfaces as a consequence of rural areas depopulation, has led to widespread reforestation and to the abandonment of forest management. In addition, due to the interruption of a regular forest management and to the fact that most of the population lives in cities, forests are no more perceived as part of the cultural heritage, but mainly as a natural landscape. Due to this trend traditional forest management techniques, such as coppicing, have also been considered as a factor of degradation Citation: Piras, F.; Venturi, M.; and not even a historical management form. The aim of the study is therefore to analyze forest Corrieri, F.; Santoro, A.; Agnoletti, M. surface changes in Tuscany in the last century to assess the importance of cultural values.

  • Gagosian Gallery
    Garage May 10, 2020 GAGOSIAN Always On My Mind As we enter a new era, artist Alex Israel looks back at a decade of work and the fast-changing technology and culture that influenced it. Alex Israel Alex Israel, Self-Portrait, 2013, Sunset Strip, Billboard Photo: Michael Underwood Today’s is a new world, forever changed by the spread of a novel coronavirus. When I began writing this essay over the December 2019 holiday break, the idea was to walk readers through my thinking (hence the title) and to trace the evolution of my work from early projects to recent paintings. I was writing both to contextualize my practice relative to the shifting media landscape that had inspired it—the previous “new world”—and to punctuate a decade of artistic production. While I wasn’t able to finish the text in time for distribution at my London opening in January, as I’d hoped, I continued to write in the new year, finally finding the hours to hone and polish at the start of quarantine last month. But since then, in just a matter of weeks, everything has shifted in ways that we are all still processing. While it’s hard to know what to say or think about this moment, suddenly, almost magically, the previous one appears clearer than ever in my rearview mirror. What used to resemble a living, breathing ecosystem now feels like a time capsule, and whether what happens next is a new chapter, a new book, or (perhaps most likely) a new language altogether, one thing’s for sure: it’s happening.

    Celebrity Homes Map Hollywood Hills Guide to Stars in Hollywood Hills ・ 60 Addresses The information contained in this document is exclusive property of StarMap, Inc. You agree that the service StarMap® provides is for informational purposes only and is subject to the Terms & Conditions. ​ ​ Welcome to the Hollywood Hills. If you are coming here to explore the nature of humanity at it’s most upscale, pristine and creative form, you have come to the right place. There are two unique qualities that make Hollywood Hills such a desired destination for celebrities and tourists alike; the terrain and of course the Stars that inhabit the region. The Hollywood Hills are the part of the Santa Monica Mountains, which makes them incredibly, well, hilly. Hills as we know aren’t flat, so they are difficult to build on. This creates for some creative and unique architectural opportunities for folks with dreams, ambition and money; the resources that come in abundance in this area. The Hollywood Hills isn’t your typical neighborhood, you won’t find two houses alike in this region. You won’t find apartment complexes, condo units and other standardized living in this area. Due to the diversity of land formations, each home is different from the next. The diversity of the twenty some odd thousand people that live in this 7 square mile is quite diverse as well. Not everyone that lives in The Hills is a television star or otherwise even some one that’s known. However, reading down the list of notable residents is like reading a list of the Golden Globes nominations — the stars that you’ve grown to love over a lifetime more than likely own a residence here.

By 1976, he had achieved enough proficiency that he brought six of his pots with him when he went up to the United States to do sea- sonal farm work that year.

He was so taken with the three remaining pots he saw there that he bought them on the spot and vowed to find the person who created them.
