  • Italian Jewish Subjectivities and the Jewish Museum of Rome
    What is an Italian Jew? Italian Jewish Subjectivities and the Jewish Museum of Rome 1. Introduction The Roman Jewish ghetto is no more. Standing in its place is the Tempio Maggiore, or Great Synagogue, a monumental testament to the emancipation of Roman and Italian Jewry in the late nineteenth century. During that era, the Roman Jewish community, along with city planners, raised most of the old ghetto environs to make way for a less crowded, more hygienic, and overtly modern Jewish quarter.1 Today only one piece of the ghetto wall remains, and the Comunità Ebraica di Roma has dwindled to approximately 15,000 Jews. The ghetto area is home to shops and restaurants that serve a diverse tourist clientele. The Museo Ebraico di Roma, housed, along with the Spanish synagogue, in the basement floor of the Great Synagogue, showcases, with artifacts and art, the long history of Roman Jewry. While visiting, one also notices the video cameras, heavier police presence, and use of security protocol at sites, all of which suggest very real threats to the community and its public spaces. This essay explores how Rome's Jewish Museum and synagogues complex represent Italian Jewish identity. It uses the complex and its guidebook to investigate how the museum displays multiple, complex, and even contradictory subject-effects. These effects are complicated by the non- homogeneity of the audience the museum seeks to address, an audience that includes both Jews and non-Jews. What can this space and its history tell us about how this particular “contact zone” seeks to actualize subjects? How can attention to these matters stimulate a richer, more complex understanding of Italian Jewish subjectivities and their histories? We will ultimately suggest that, as a result of history, the museum is on some level “caught” between a series of contradictions, wanting on the one hand to demonstrate the Comunità Ebraica di Roma’s twentieth-century commitment to Zionism and on the other to be true to the historical legacy of its millennial-long diasporic origins.

  • Giardino Zoologico Di Roma Archivio (1910-1998)
    ARCHIVIO DEL GIARDINO ZOOLOGICO DI ROMA AMMINISTRAZIONE RAGIONERIA E CONTABILITA’ Introduzione all’Inventario di Laura Francescangeli Istituita il 17 settembre 1997, la Società Bioparco ha assunto la gestione delle strutture dello zoo di Roma nell’aprile 1998 con la contestuale dismissione del preesistente “Servizio Giardino Zoologico” municipale. L’innovazione pose all’ordine del giorno il problema della conservazione dell’archivio della cessata amministrazione. La documentazione allora custodita nella palazzina della Direzione del giardino zoologico, occupata dalla Società Bioparco, fu nel 1998 posta sotto la vigilanza dell’Archivio Storico Capitolino e fatta oggetto di un intervento di inventariazione a fine di tutela, curato da chi scrive e dai colleghi Nicola Immediato e Piero Santoni. Le carte, i registri, i disegni e le fotografie conservati, con una consistenza molto limitata per quanto riguarda i primi due decenni, documentavano la storia di un’azienda nata nel 1910 e che ha avuto un ciclo vitale di quasi novant’anni. Negli anni 1998-1999 pertanto i funzionari dell’Archivio Storico Capitolino provvidero a trasferire presso quest’ultimo la raccolta fotografica e la collezione di piante e disegni (vedi gli inventari delle due serie in consultazione in ASC). Del resto dell’archivio – il corpo più consistente, costituito dalle serie dell’Amministrazione (fascicoli del personale, registri e rubriche del protocollo, carteggio amministrativo) e dalle serie di registri della Ragioneria e Contabilità – redassero una schedatura che attraverso l’individuazione e descrizione del materiale di rilevanza storico- amministrativa destinato alla conservazione permanente, consentì il riordinamento del fondo originario con l’invio al macero a norma di legge delle carte da avviare viceversa allo scarto 1.

  • Revisiting Giancarlo De Carlo's Participatory Design Approach
    heritage Article Revisiting Giancarlo De Carlo’s Participatory Design Approach: From the Representation of Designers to the Representation of Users Marianna Charitonidou 1,2,3 1 Department of Architecture, Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture (GTA), ETH Zurich, Stefano-Franscini-Platz 5, CH 8093 Zurich, Switzerland; [email protected] 2 School of Architecture, National Technical University of Athens, 42 Patission Street, 106 82 Athens, Greece 3 Faculty of Art History and Theory, Athens School of Fine Arts, 42 Patission Street, 106 82 Athens, Greece Abstract: The article examines the principles of Giancarlo De Carlo’s design approach. It pays special attention to his critique of the modernist functionalist logic, which was based on a simplified understanding of users. De Carlo0s participatory design approach was related to his intention to replace of the linear design process characterising the modernist approaches with a non-hierarchical model. Such a non-hierarchical model was applied to the design of the Nuovo Villaggio Matteotti in Terni among other projects. A characteristic of the design approach applied in the case of the Nuovo Villaggio Matteotti is the attention paid to the role of inhabitants during the different phases of the design process. The article explores how De Carlo’s “participatory design” criticised the functionalist approaches of pre-war modernist architects. It analyses De Carlo’s theory and describes how it was made manifest in his architectural practice—particularly in the design for the Nuovo Villaggio Matteotti and the master plan for Urbino—in his teaching and exhibition activities, and in the manner his buildings were photographs and represented through drawings and sketches.

    National and International Modernism in Italian Sculpture from 1935-1959 by Antje K. Gamble A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History of Art) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee: Professor Alexander D. Potts, Chair Associate Professor Giorgio Bertellini Professor Matthew N. Biro Sharon Hecker Associate Professor Claire A. Zimmerman Associate Professor Rebecca Zurier Copyright: Antje K. Gamble, 2015 © Acknowledgements As with any large project, this dissertation could not have been completed without the support and guidance of a large number of individuals and institutions. I am glad that I have the opportunity to acknowledge them here. There were a large number of funding sources that allowed me to study, travel, and conduct primary research that I want to thank: without them, I would not have been able to do the rich archival study that has, I think, made this dissertation an important contribution to the field. For travel funding to Italy, I thank the Horace R. Rackham Graduate School at the University of Michigan for its support with the Rackham International International Research Award and the Rackham Rackham Humanities Research Fellowship. For writing support and U.S.-based research funding, I thank the Department of History of Art at the University of Michigan, the Rackham Graduate School, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the University of Michigan Museum of Art. For conference travel support, I thank the Horace R. Rackham Graduate School, the Department of History of Art, and the American Association of Italian Studies. While in Italy, I was fortunate enough to work with a great number of amazing scholars, archivists, librarians and museum staff who aided in my research efforts.

  • Giorgio De Chirico and the Exhibitions of the “Novecento Italiano”
    233 GIORGIO DE CHIRICO AND THE EXHIBITIONS OF THE “NOVECENTO ITALIANO” Franco Ragazzi A letter from Giorgio de Chirico regarding his participation in the Prima mostra del Novecento Italiano (First exhibition of the Novecento Italiano), organised in Milan in 1926, allows us to under- stand more about relations between the Master of Metaphysics and the group led by Margherita Sarfatti, than any other study carried out until now. As well as contributing to the definition of a modern ‘Italian’ aesthetic which was purist, cerebral and anti-naturalist, made up of values that are absolute, severe and moralising, inspired by the Primitives, one of the major concerns of Sarfatti and the artists of the steering committee of the Novecento was that of widening the essentially Milanese original group to make it a national reality, and to make the 1926 exhibition a great artistic and political event. This explains the organisational work carried out principally by the secretary of the steering committee, Alberto Salietti, to increase the exhibitors through a network of artists who were ‘delegates’ of the groups and the regional groups, a dense epistolary and numerous ‘missions’ such as the ones to meet Morandi in Bologna, Soffici and de Grada in Florence, Trombadori and Socrate (after the split with Ferrazzi) in Rome, Casorati in Turin, and Tozzi in Paris.1 Sarfatti and the Committee’s aim was to conquer a substantially political significance and recog- nition in the governing of art and its market. This vision explains relations with Mussolini and the presence of Il Duce at the inauguration of the exhibition with the consequent great attention from the press.
