  • Presentazione Finale
    Storia dei principali Tricolori Itali ani e della musica Ri sorgimental e A cura di: Andreoli Simone Roscia Simone Il 10 aprile 1796 le truppe di Napoleone entrano in Italia e occupano i ducati di Milano e Mantova: durante la campagna Napoleone forma delle coorti di volontari: la Legione Lombarda usa una bandiera coi colori della guardia milanese, ma che ricalca il Tricolore francese dal quale dipende direttamente. La Guardia Nazionale milanese riceve il 12 brumaio (2 novembre) 1796 le insegne dove appaiono i simboli rivoluzionari che, per smarcarsi dai segni religiosi, sono di derivazione classica: il cappello frigio indossato dagli schiavi liberati della Roma antica, il fascio littorio delle libertà romane, le corone di foglie che rappresentano la forza e la concordia . Napoleone invade anche i territori di Reggio e Modena, tolti agli Estensi, e di Bologna e Ferrara, sottratti al Papa. A ottobre del 1796 a Modena un congresso dei delegati delle 4 province dà vita alla Confederazione Cispadana, e a dicembre a Reggio alla Repubblica Cispadana, con un proprio esercito: il 12 febbraio 1797 le Guardia Civica sfila per Modena con la bandiera conosciuta attraverso il disegno del cronista don Antonio Rovatti. I patrioti italiani che si unirono all'esercito francese, in onore ai primi martiri del Tricolore, Luigi Zamboni e Giambattista De Rolandis condannati all'impiccagione, nel tentativo di liberare Bologna dall' oppressione dello Stato della Chiesa nel 1794, assunsero come bandiera militare un Tricolore con simboli di libertà e con gli stessi colori verde, bianco e rosso delle coccarde con cui i patrioti bolognesi si erano fregiati durante le loro riunioni segrete.

  • Verdi's Rigoletto
    Verdi’s Rigoletto - A discographical conspectus by Ralph Moore It is hard if not impossible, to make a representative survey of recordings of Rigoletto, given that there are 200 in the catalogue; I can only compromise by compiling a somewhat arbitrary list comprising of a selection of the best-known and those which appeal to me. For a start, there are thirty or so studio recordings in Italian; I begin with one made in 1927 and 1930, as those made earlier than that are really only for the specialist. I then consider eighteen of the studio versions made since that one. I have not reviewed minor recordings or those which in my estimation do not reach the requisite standard; I freely admit that I cannot countenance those by Sinopoli in 1984, Chailly in 1988, Rahbari in 1991 or Rizzi in 1993 for a combination of reasons, including an aversion to certain singers – for example Gruberova’s shrill squeak of a soprano and what I hear as the bleat in Bruson’s baritone and the forced wobble in Nucci’s – and the existence of a better, earlier version by the same artists (as with the Rudel recording with Milnes, Kraus and Sills caught too late) or lacklustre singing in general from artists of insufficient calibre (Rahbari and Rizzi). Nor can I endorse Dmitri Hvorostovsky’s final recording; whether it was as a result of his sad, terminal illness or the vocal decline which had already set in I cannot say, but it does the memory of him in his prime no favours and he is in any case indifferently partnered.

    REGGIO EMILIA FOR EXPO MILANO 2015 Reggio Emilia, at the heart of Italy’s Food Valley , is a city that has a natural bent for international relations and dialogue. Reggio Emilia is the ideal region to find new opportunities to learn more, build and strengthen synergistic international partnerships with all the stakeholders who are aware of the cultural challenge that is the Expo Milano 2015, “ Feeding the planet, Energy for life ” – from May 1 to October 31, 2015. To celebrate the Expo, Reggio Emilia has come up with a complimentary range of events, places, companies, products, socialisation opportunities and tours for a first-hand experience of the region, and to form major international partnerships. Moreover Reggio Emilia’s institutions along with all economic players – Chamber of Commerce, trade associations, research centres and universities – have developed a number of ideas for tours and meetings with trade associations, businesses, innovation and research centres, to learn more about partnership and business opportunities and to boost the creation of strategic business relations. A HIGH-SPEED CITY Reggio Emilia is a special place for the people who will be taking part in or visiting the Expo Milano 2015 to stop and see, not least because of its high-speed “Reggio Emilia AV Mediopadana” train station, one of the main high-speed stations in northern Italy and one of the most important junctions in the midst of the Po valley. Easily accessible from the old city centre (4 km) as well as from the motorway (2 km), the high-speed “Reggio Emilia AV Mediopadana” train station is an architectural masterpiece designed by Santiago Calatrava , who also designed the three bridges that connect it to the motorway and to the city’s main thoroughfares.

  • Andrea Bocelli, a Modern Tenor in the Old Style As He Likes to Describe Himself, Appeared on the Scene
    A NDREA B OCELLI Tenor Bocelli is one of opera’s most important innovations. Just when we were reading and talking about reports of the demise of the operatic genre, with theatres dismally half empty, with the slump in record sales, with the virtual disappearance of opera from television schedules, suddenly the tenor Andrea Bocelli, a modern tenor in the old style as he likes to describe himself, appeared on the scene. His musicality combined with highly personal and persuasive vocal colour, and perfect diction, tinged with a subtle, barely-concealed melancholy goes straight to the hearts of the listeners and is the reason for his spectacular success. After studying under the expert guidance of Maestro Luciano Bettarini, teacher of many great names including Ferruccio Tagliavini, Ettore Bastianini and Franco Corelli, Bocelli attended a masterclass in Turin with Franco Corelli. The Pisa-born tenor made his stage debut in Verdi's Macbeth in 1994, with performances in Pisa, Mantova, Lucca and Livorno, under Claudio Desderi. This decisive debut was followed by the CD Viaggio italiano with Vladimir Fedoseyev, released through Sugar in 1995. The first wholly operatic concerts of international importance were at Cagliari and at the Puccini Festival at Torre del Lago in summer 1997; on this occasion Bocelli sang arias and duets from Madama Butterfly and Tosca and, responding to rapturous applause, gave an encore of the "9 Cs" aria from La fille du régiment. In 1998 he made a second stage debut, this time in Cagliari, in the leading role of Rodolfo opposite Daniela Dessì in Puccini's La Bohème, conducted by Steven Mercurio.

Ducati, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati – the names simply roll off the tongue. Each city along the ancient Roman artery of Via Emilia I remember from their football team’s stint in Serie A. The food and wine – I know it all too well. Or do I? Thinking back, I realise that the lambrusco I’ve drunk was all cheap and a little too sweet. And the tagliatelle al ragù “parmesan” cheese?
