Best Local Scene in Rimini "Best Local Scene in Rimini" Created by: Cityseeker 7 Locations Bookmarked Piazza Malatesta "City's Popular Piazza" Piazza Malatesta is an inextricable part of Rimini's charm. Albeit a little off the city center, it is worth the short commute as it's an address to the beautiful Castel Sismondo and many other interesting spots. The vast Piazza Malatesta is used for several local events and it is immaculately transformed into an open-air venue for major concerts. Peppered with by Cicciotto eateries and shopping places, one simply cannot leave out a visit to Piazza Malatesta when in Rimini. Piazza Malatesta, Rimini Borgo San Giuliano "Fellini Nostalgia" After crossing the old town center on Corso d'Augusto as far as the Ponte di Tiberio, take a look at the Marecchia river park to the north and at the port canal to the south, then enter the medieval district of San Giuliano. A series of narrow alleys form a labyrinth in which even the locals often get lost. But it doesn't matter if you do because on every street corner you can by Albino Di Lieto admire murals dedicated to the life and films of the great film director Federico Fellini. The murals were painted by local artists on the elegant small houses carefully looked after and decorated with flowers. Every two years the unmissable street festival "Festa de Borg" is held. If you wish to continue the Fellini theme, you can walk on to the town cemetery not too far away in Via Cipressi where Fellini and his wife Giulietta Masini are buried under the monument "La Grande Prua" in the form of a sail by the sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro. +39 0541 70 4111 Piazza Cavour 27, Rimini Piazza Cavour "The Center of the Town's Daily Life" Piazza Cavour is the center of daily life for people who live in Rimini. There are shops and cafès on one side and the other side is flanked by solemn palazzi. At one end of the piazza, you can see the majestic Neo- Classical Teatro Comunale, inaugurated by Giuseppe Verdi in 1857. The old fish market is on the left hand side of the piazza; it houses an by Albino Di Lieto enormous marble table, which was used to sell the fish. Nowadays, it is used as a display area for artists or market sellers. Corso d'Augusto, Rimini Piazza Tre Martiri "The Old Roman Forum" If you walk down the "Decumano Massimo" (nowadays Corso d'Augusto), you will come to what used to be the main Roman forum. It is the crossroads between the "Decumano" and the "Cardo Massimi". The old Piazza Giulio Cesare and Piazza delle Erbe have been renamed Piazza Tre Martiri. The new name commerates three young partisans who were by Cicciotto executed here (Mario Cappelli, Luigi Nicolò, Adelio Pagliarani). A copy of the statue of Julius Caesar was put in the piazza when it was given to the town in 1933. The piazza also contains a Renaissance memorial stone which is called the Ara Romana. This commemorates Caesar's address to his soldiers prior to the conquest of Rome. The Sant'Antono church dates back to 1578. It has an unmistakeable octagonal shape and is surrounded by columns and faced with marble. The church was built in honor of the "miracle of the mule" which the saint is said to have perfomed here. The piazza has recently been resurfaced. This confirmed suspicions that there was a city buried underground. The piazza also has a new and attractive appearance and is lit by early 20th Century style lighting. Corso d'Augusto, Rimini Antica Pescheria di Piazza Cavour "One of the Most Beautiful Places in the City" On the left of the Piazza Cavour is la Pescheria Vecchia, one of the most picturesque places in the city; it was built in 1747 according to the designs of the architect Buonamici. It has large marble tables on which fish was once sold, now these slabs are used by artists and local market traders. by Cicciotto Corso d'Augusto, Rimini Arch of Augustus "Ancient Roman Landmark" The Arch of Augustus is a city-gate built in 27 BCE and is one of the oldest surviving Roman arches. The structure is unusually large compared to other Roman arches, which has lead some historians to believe the gate was not meant to be easily closed so it wasn't used for defense. This arch is featured on Rimini's coat of arms, making it an important city icon. by Following Hadrian +39 541 53399 Arco di Augusto, Rimini Piazzale Fellini "An Important Square" Piazzale Fellini is a very important square in the city. The place is an hub of activities with the shopping district around the place. Piazzale Fellini is used to host city functions and celebrations apart from some other important announcements. If you are in the city and plan to explore the place, Piazzale Fellini is sure to give you an insight into the local life of the by Alexas_Fotos city. +39 0541 70 4111 (Tourist Information) Piazzale Fellini, Rimini JOIN US AT: cityseeker.com TERMS & CONDITIONS | PRIVACY POLICY | API | CONTACT US | Copyright (C) 2021 CITYSEEKER Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

  • Sculptors' Jewellery Offers an Experience of Sculpture at Quite the Opposite End of the Scale
    SCULPTORS’ JEWELLERY PANGOLIN LONDON FOREWORD The gift of a piece of jewellery seems to have taken a special role in human ritual since Man’s earliest existence. In the most ancient of tombs, archaeologists invariably excavate metal or stone objects which seem to have been designed to be worn on the body. Despite the tiny scale of these precious objects, their ubiquity in all cultures would indicate that jewellery has always held great significance.Gold, silver, bronze, precious stone, ceramic and natural objects have been fashioned for millennia to decorate, embellish and adorn the human body. Jewellery has been worn as a signifier of prowess, status and wealth as well as a symbol of belonging or allegiance. Perhaps its most enduring function is as a token of love and it is mostly in this vein that a sculptor’s jewellery is made: a symbol of affection for a spouse, loved one or close friend. Over a period of several years, through trying my own hand at making rings, I have become aware of and fascinated by the jewellery of sculptors. This in turn has opened my eyes to the huge diversity of what are in effect, wearable, miniature sculptures. The materials used are generally precious in nature and the intimacy of being worn on the body marries well with the miniaturisation of form. For this exhibition Pangolin London has been fortunate in being able to collate a very special selection of works, ranging from the historical to the contemporary. To complement this, we have also actively commissioned a series of exciting new pieces from a broad spectrum of artists working today.

    Trinity College Dublin Art Collections Artist: Arnaldo Pomodoro Title: Sfera con Sfera (1986) Medium: Bronze Location: The Berkeley Library – forecourt, TCD Donated by the artist (with support from TCD and Italian organisations in Ireland). b. Morciano di Romagna, Italy, 1926 Arnaldo Pomodoro is a very well rounded artist; he is a jeweller, stage designer, architect and sculptor. His undergraduate career was spent at a technical institute in Rimni and he attended the Faculty of Economics and Commerce in Bologna for a year. In the aftermath of World War II he worked as a consultant for an architectural firm, advising civil engineers on how to restore damaged buildings. From 1950 to 1954, he focused on set designing and goldsmithery, collaborating with his brother, Gio Pomodoro. On moving to Milan, the brothers became acquainted with Italian artists on the cutting edge of the political art movement, like Enrico Baj and Sergio Dangelo. However, they were also involved with „classicists‟ in the Continuita movement, begun in 1961. Since the 1980s he has been particularly interested in designing sets for major theatrical events, most notably Stravinsky‟s Oedipus rex (Siena, 1988) Jean Anouilh‟s Antigone (1996) and Shakespeare‟s Tempest (1998). He has taught at such prestigious institutions as Stanford University and Berkeley. In 1992 he was awarded an Honorary Degree in Letters at Trinity College. He still lives and works in Milan. The first Sphere series was produced in 1963, and the motif became a constant presence in his work. These pieces are cast from plasters of clay originals. Unlike the intricacies of goldsmithery, the grand scale of the spheres allows Pomodoro to create something with great clarity and breadth.

  • La Cultura Italiana
    LA CULTURA ITALIANA FEDERICO FELLINI (1920-1993) This month’s essay continues a theme that several prior essays discussed concerning fa- mous Italian film directors of the post-World War II era. We earlier discussed Neorealism as the film genre of these directors. The director we are considering in this essay both worked in that genre and carried it beyond its limits to develop an approach that moved Neoreal- ism to a new level. Over the decades of the latter-half of the 20th century, his films became increasingly original and subjective, and consequently more controversial and less commercial. His style evolved from Neorealism to fanciful Neorealism to surrealism, in which he discarded narrative story lines for free-flowing, free-wheeling memoirs. Throughout his career, he focused on his per- sonal vision of society and his preoccupation with the relationships between men and women and between sex and love. An avowed anticleric, he was also deeply concerned with personal guilt and alienation. His films are spiced with artifice (masks, masquerades and circuses), startling faces, the rococo and the outlandish, the prisms through which he sometimes viewed life. But as Vincent Canby, the chief film critic of The New York Times, observed in 1985: “What’s important are not the prisms, though they are arresting, but the world he shows us: a place whose spectacularly grand, studio-built artificiality makes us see the interior truth of what is taken to be the ‘real’ world outside, which is a circus.” In addition to his achievements in this regard, we are also con- sidering him because of the 100th anniversary of his birth.

  • Federico Fellini: a Life in Film
    Federico Fellini: a life in film Federico Fellini was born in Rimini, the Marché, on 20th January 1920. He is recognized as one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers of all time. His films have ranked in polls such as ‘Cahiers du cinéma’ and ‘Sight & Sound’, which lists his 1963 film “8½” as the 10th-greatest film. Fellini won the ‘Palme d'Or’ for “La Dolce Vita”, he was nominated for twelve 'Academy Awards', and won four in the category of 'Best Foreign Language Film', the most for any director in the history of the Academy. He received an honorary award for 'Lifetime Achievement' at the 65th Academy Awards in Los Angeles. His other well-known films include 'I Vitelloni' (1953), 'La Strada' (1954), 'Nights of Cabiria' (1957), 'Juliet of the Spirits' (1967), 'Satyricon' (1969), 'Roma' (1972), 'Amarcord' (1973) and 'Fellini's Casanova' (1976). In 1939, he enrolled in the law school of the University of Rome - to please his parents. It seems that he never attended a class. He signed up as a junior reporter for two Roman daily papers: 'Il Piccolo' and 'lI Popolo di Roma' but resigned from both after a short time. He submitted articles to a bi- weekly humour magazine, 'Marc’Aurelio', and after 4 months joined the editorial board, writing a very successful regular column “But are you listening?” Through this work he established connections with show business and cinema and he began writing radio sketches and jokes for films. He achieved his first film credit - not yet 20 - as a comedy writer in “Il pirato sono io” (literally, “I am a pirate”), translated into English as “The Pirate’s Dream”.

  • Antonioni's Legacy
    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF MEDIA STUDIES www.necsus-ejms.org NECSUS Published by: Amsterdam University Press Exhibition reviews Exhibition: Lo sguardo di Michelangelo. Antonioni e le arti, Palazzo dei Diamanti, Ferrara (10 March 2013 – 9 June 2013) Catalogue: Lo sguardo di Michelangelo. Antonioni e le arti (Ferrara: Ferrara Arte, 2013), edited by Dominique Païni Framing, painting, collecting images Antonioni’s legacy Francesco Di Chiara Lo sguardo di Michelangelo is an ambitious exhibition; it portrays Antonioni as a filmmaker, a visual artist, and a celebrated part of Italian culture of the second half of the 20th century. In fact, along with Federico Fellini, in the early 1960s, Michelangelo Antonioni was responsible for the transition of Italian cinema from the neorealist legacy, before the much younger generation of Pier Paolo Pasolini, Bernardo Bertolucci, and Marco Bellocchio.1 Six years after his death, Antonioni’s legacy still proves to be challenging even for contemporary film studies. This has recently been proven by a rich collection about the director that came out in late 20112 and by a conference that was held the following year3 in Ferrara, the director’s birthplace, as a celebration of the centenary of Antonioni’s birth. Lo sguardo di Michelangelo: Antonioni e le arti is also part of a series of celebra- tions that the municipality of Ferrara has devoted to Antonioni’s centennial. The exhibition, curated by Dominique Païni along with Maria Luisa Pacelli and Barbara Guidi (Gallerie di Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Ferrara and Fondazione Ferrara Arte), has in fact been conceived as a way of showcasing various materials coming from Antonioni’s own archive – a collection that the Ferrara municipality acquired from the director in the late 1990s, that had been partially exhibited in the short-lived Antonioni Museum in Ferrara (1995-2006), and that is set to be fully classified and made available to film scholars in the following years.

  • Sculpture of Princeton University
    SCULPTURE of Princeton University including works from the Sjohn b. putnam jr. memorial collection 2 Sculpture of Princeton University including works from the John B. Putnam Jr. Memorial Collection rinceton is home to one of the country’s most significant collec- tions of 20th- and now 21st-century sculpture. Following in the centuries-oldP tradition of civic statuary and public monuments, the collection seeks to place extraordinary and durable works of art in the path of everyday life for members of the Princeton University com- munity and visitors to this famously beautiful and historic campus. At the core of the collection are works assembled for the John B. Putnam Jr. Memorial Collection, funded by an anonymous benefac- tor and named for the World War II fighter pilot and member of Princeton’s Class of 1945 who succeeded in 53 aerial missions before dying in a crash in 1944, aged 23. Like all great works of public art, the sculpture distributed across the Princeton campus embodies the dreams, hopes, and desires of the community in which it appears. Asserting the varied possibilities of meaning in the public realm, subject to the regard of both the novice viewer and the seasoned art scholar, the collection has come to reflect the energies of generations, with new works added periodically to reflect the continuing strivings of many of the greatest artists of the past and present. These sculptures add brilliantly to what Lewis Thomas, Class of 1933, termed “the look and the feel of an institution deliberately designed for thinking and kept that way through the years.” As noted by William G.

Three oil paintings by Calderara of absolute purity and quality are emblematic of his painting evolution.

  • Arnaldo Pomodoro's Sculpture in Tehran Museum Refurbished
    http://www.tehrantimes.com/arts-and-culture/121197-arnaldo-pomodoros-sculpture-in-tehran-museum-refurbished- Arnaldo Pomodoro’s sculpture in Tehran museum refurbished ART DESK On Line: 20 January 2015 20:42 In Print: Wednesday 21 January 2015 TMCA Director Majid Mollanoruzi (1st from right), Italian Ambassador Mauro Conciatori (2nd from right), and some unidentified persons are seen clapping after unveiling Arnaldo Pomodoro’s “Sphere within Sphere” in the courtyard of the TMCA. TEHRAN – A sculpture by Italian sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro located in the courtyard of the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art (TMCA) has recently been refurbished. The polished sculpture from the series “Sphere within Sphere” (Sfera con Sfera) was unveiled during a ceremony attended by Italian Ambassador Mauro Conciatori and TMCA Director Majid Mollanoruzi on Monday, the Persian service of MNA reported on Tuesday. The refurbishment of the bronze sculpture is part of the project entitled “Dusting the Earth” organized by the Feyznia Family Foundation, an Iranian private organization in charge of Iranian and Italian art projects, in collaboration with the Arnaldo Pomodoro Foundation. Speaking at the ceremony, Mollanoruzi said the ceremony is a symbolic act to show the good relationship existing between Iranian and Italian artists. Explaining about the project Mollanoruzi said, “We first negotiated with Pomodoro, and later with the Feyznia Foundation, which carried out the project.” “The symbolic dusting of the sculpture can help draw the attention to the issue of the environment and respect for artworks,” he added. Ambassador Mauro Conciatori expressed his thanks to those who helped in the project and said that the sculpture needed to be refurbished since its surface, which reflects the sunshine, had been exposed to air pollution over the years.
