Expect beautiful flowers, meticulously refined over generations by the careful hands of their keepers. Even if you're not passionate about flowers, it is a refreshing splash of early summer colour in a beautiful city. While you are so close, it is the perfect time to visit the stunning Florence Rose Garden. Open all year around, the roses are in full bloom throughout May, and with over 350 different types of roses to enjoy, this is a heavenly treat for your senses. The scent of roses and their velvety bursts of colour are a great backdrop to enjoying the view of the city, or taking a book to enjoy on the grass.

Italians will be enjoying the day off, and there will be less buses and trains than usual. But there’s no reason to stay home, because there is the incredibly exciting flag throwing competition, where expert flag throwers compete for the Marzocco Trophy! The Marzocco is the heraldic lion that represents the free Republic of Florence, with the most famous Marzocco located in Piazza della Signoria where the contest is being held. The original statue was created by Donatello in the 15th Century, and is now housed in the Bargello, while a copy rests in its place in the piazza. The lion is carved with his paw placed protectively over the symbol of Florence, the red lily. The flag throwing demonstrates extremely talented choreography, creating a stunning visual effect as the flags twirls and fly through the air. The performances are accompanied by live music, and the whole event is a colourful spectacular. An exciting display that can be enjoyed by children and families. Piazza della Signoria at 3.30pm BEST FESTIVAL: FABBRICA EUROPA ARTS AND PERFORMANCE FESTIVAL: 26TH EDITION, May 3 - July 12 For lovers of theatre, dance, contemporary performance, installation, art, and everything in between. This is the biggest international arts festival in town, and the programming is exceptional. The inauguration of the XXVI edition is on Friday 3 May at the Stazione Leopolda in Florence, featuring a company that, more than any other ,has marked the historical memory of the festival from 1994 to present: La Fura del Baus. The Festival continues until July involving other locations in Florence and Tuscany. A significant part of the programming will take place at the Teatro della Pergola and in the new spaces of the PARC Performing Arts Research Centre (in the complex of the former Scuderie Granducali). Have fun diving into the full programme of events here. BEST TRADITION FOR MAY: GIORNO DELLA MAMMA, 2nd Sunday in May It is Mother’s Day in Italy, the day to celebrate mothers everywhere or any special woman who raised you. For those travelling with their mother in Florence on May 13th, remember to give her an extra hug and wish her the happiest of days, Italian style of course… with an Aperol Spritz toast, springtime flowers, or an extra-large, double scoop of gelato! BEST EXHIBITION: LAST CHANCE TO SEE ANTONY GORMLEY: ESSERE, AT THE UFFIZI GALLERY, Until May 26 "Can an object be the catalyst for new thoughts and behaviours?" (Antony Gormley) In the Aula Magliabechiana of the Uffizi, this exhibition brings together works of different materials and scales that explore the body in space and the body as space. There will be 12 works on show in the new gallery on the ground floor, where natural light will play into 12 distinct vaulted spaces defined by six stone columns and no internal walls. Two further works will be placed inside the Gallery and another one on the terrace. At the core of the exhibit, there is a dialogue between two sculptures, Passage and Room, realized 35 years apart and both dealing with the space of the body. Tickets and more information. !3 Pitcher & Flaccomio Newsletter Copyright 2017 Direttore responsabile Raffaella Galamini - Pubblicazione con iscrizione n. 5697 del 23\01\09 presso il Tribunale di Firenze.

This edition brings together, once again, a new selection of approx. 100 master artisans who will not only display their products, but also give live demonstrations of their mastery, revealing the technical secrets that make their work unique. On this “Vermeil” anniversary, gold will be the common theme of the numerous events programmed for the four days of the show. A journey dedicated to understanding, meeting, viewing and tasting, designed to spread knowledge of the roots from which our values originate. 10am-8pm, Giardino Corsini 115 Via della Scala. More information: www.artigianatoepalazzo.it BEST DINING OUT: INDULGE AT PIZZERIA SANTARPIA (From Conde Naste Traveler) Santarpia, one of Florence’s best pizzerias, is housed in a bright, contemporary space just east of Santa Croce, with jazzy custom tiles on the walls. Neapolitan pizzaiuolo (pizza maker) Michele Leo is in charge of the two wood-fired ovens turning out some 150 pizzas a night. All of the ingredients in these authentic Neapolitan pies are carefully sourced—organic tomatoes from Vesuvius, mozzarella from deep in Campania, anchovies from the fishing village of Cetara on the Amalfi Coast—and the dough is left to proof for at least 48 hours, making for a light, crispy, puffy-rimmed base. Desserts, from master pastry chef Luca Mannori, are not to be missed; the celebrated, chocolate-rich Sette Veli (Seven Veils) cake is a masterpiece. There are also gluten- and lactose-free versions of all the pizzas. Drinks include a great selection of craft beers, both by the bottle and on tap. Largo Pietro Annigoni, 9 (Borgo La Croce), website: santarpia.biz BEST OF THE REST SPRING GELATO FLAVOURS AT ALL THE GELATERIE! Now is the time to indulge in gelato, as the spring flavours erupt with flavour. Be sure to choose your gelateria well, as not every store is alike. The number one tip is to avoid any giant piled-up heaps of gelato. No! Gelato or a great sorbet should be so heavy with cream, fruit, and deliciousness, that it could never sustain such a tower.

  • DIE LIEBE DER DANAE July 29 – August 7, 2011
    DIE LIEBE DER DANAE July 29 – August 7, 2011 the richard b. fisher center for the performing arts at bard college About The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, an environment for world-class artistic presentation in the Hudson Valley, was designed by Frank Gehry and opened in 2003. Risk-taking performances and provocative programs take place in the 800-seat Sosnoff Theater, a proscenium-arch space; and in the 220-seat Theater Two, which features a flexible seating configuration. The Center is home to Bard College’s Theater and Dance Programs, and host to two annual summer festivals: SummerScape, which offers opera, dance, theater, operetta, film, and cabaret; and the Bard Music Festival, which celebrates its 22nd year in August, with “Sibelius and His World.” The Center bears the name of the late Richard B. Fisher, the former chair of Bard College’s Board of Trustees. This magnificent building is a tribute to his vision and leadership. The outstanding arts events that take place here would not be possible without the contributions made by the Friends of the Fisher Center.

  • Storia Di Firenze Annali I 2006.Indd
    !NNALIDISTORIADIFIRENZE ) Avvertenza Le pagine a seguire forniscono, per gli anni 2001 e 2002, un elenco ordi- nato alfabeticamente per autore dei volumi, dei saggi in opere collettanee e degli articoli su riviste attinenti la storia fi orentina. Tale materiale, ugualmente suddiviso in tre sezioni, è disponibile anche nel portale «Storia di Firenze» nella sezione «Bibliografi a» dove è possibile trovare anche il link alla scheda del vo- lume disponibile nel catalogo delle case editrice (htpp://www.dssg.unifi .it/sdf/ bibliografi a.html). Nel prossimo numero degli «Annali» comparirà la bibliogra- fi a relativa al biennio 2003-2004. L’eccezionale vastità della produzione scientifi ca su Firenze e l’assenza di uno strumento unico di aggiornamento bibliografi co al riguardo, oltre ad essere il motivo essenziale di questo lavoro ne rappresenta anche il principale elemento di diffi coltà. Per gli intenti del portale, il profi lo scientifi co e gli interessi dei membri della redazione, la cultura fi losofi ca e letteraria e la storia delle arti fi - gurative risultano relativamente in secondo piano rispetto ai temi storiografi ci. La ricerca di cui queste pagine sono il frutto ha infatti integrato risorse diverse (bibliografi e on-line, siti di case editrici, segnalazioni su riviste e spogli di data- base bibliografi ci), nell’intento, non sempre di facile realizzazione, di isolare materiali propriamente riferiti alla storia di Firenze e omettendo una consimile ricerca in fonti a carattere storico-artistico o storico-letterario. Ci auguriamo che questa consapevole limitazione, anziché indebolire l’effi cacia del nostro lavoro, ne precisi la consistenza e quindi la fruibilità per i lettori.

  • A Cura Di Ernestina Pellegrini
    Note di lettura 87 LETTERATURE COMPARATE a cura di Ernestina Pellegrini GRAZIA GOBBI SICA, In Lovig Memory. Il cimitero agli Allori di Firenze, coordina- mento di Maurizio Bossi, con un saggio e schede sulla comunità russa di Lucia Tonini, Firenze, Olschki 2016 («Gabinetto Scientifico Letterario – Studi», 26), pp. 546, € 120,00. A poco a poco egli aveva preso l’abitudine di soffermarsi sui suoi morti ad uno ad uno. E piuttosto presto nella vita aveva cominciato a pensare che andasse fatto qualcosa per loro. E loro erano lì, accanto a lui, forti di quell’essenza semplificata, più intensa, di quell’assenza consapevole, di quella pazienza eloquente, così corporei e presenti che pareva avessero sol- tanto perduto l’uso della parola. Così recita un passo di L’altare dei morti di Henry James, uscito in un volume dal titolo Terminations – che ci piace mettere qui in apertura di que- sta breve illustrazione del monumentale volume che Grazia Gobbi Sica ha dedicato al Cimitero agli Allori di Firenze, a conclusione di una lunga ricerca, ora accolta nella collana «Studi» del Gabinetto Vieusseux, inaugurata nel lontano 1985 presso Olschki. Un libro che può essere letto in tanti modi, seguendo piste diverse, come si capisce subito dal breve intervento di Mauri- zio Bossi – indimenticabile guida del Centro Romantico – che ha coordinato la ricerca (e al quale il volume ora è dedicato): Concepito dall’Autrice per presentare e valorizzare il cimitero agli Allori come rilevante parte del patrimonio artistico fiorentino e a contempo come prezioso documento sulla variegata e ramificata presenza di stranieri a Firenze, il volume ha raggiunto questo duplice obiettivo con successo, e si offre oggi come stimolo e fonte per molteplici ricerche.

  • January 2019 P&F Newsletter LONG
    WELCOME This is the time of year for residents - the halls of galleries and museums are peaceful, making it the ideal moment to linger over attractions that are usually crowded with tourists. Winter is also the season to travel into the hills for skiing and thermal baths, and immersing in the fashion events that take over the city centre. Or if you’d prefer to hide from the cold, then bundle up, light the fire (or a few candles), pour a nice glass of Chianti and snuggle in under a warm blanket. Warmest best wishes for a 2019 filled with joy, laughter, and good health, from SUZANNE, CORSO, BEI, LESLIE, VANNI, ANNA PIA, RAFFAELLA, AND MARISA. PITCHER & FLACCOMIO PICKS FOR JANUARY BEST EVENT FOR JANUARY: LA BEFANA VISITS DURING THE EPIPHANY January 6 On January 6, La Befana arrives in Florence and this is Italy's traditional day of gift giving. In the Christian tradition the name "Befana" is a popular version of the Greek term “Epiphany", which was the festivity following Christmas commemorating the visit of the Magi. According to the legend the three wise men on their journey were stopped by an old woman with a broom who asked them where they were going. They told her that they were following a star that would lead them to a newborn baby, and invited her to come along. But she replied that she was busy sweeping and cleaning and did not go. When she realised her mistake, her regret was so great that she continues to wander about Italy and on the Epiphany (January 6, when the Wise Men finally found the baby Jesus), begins rewarding good children and disappointing those who were bad.
