""! ! ! !!!!!!!!!!! Acknowledgments My greatest and most sincere thanks I reserve for Professor Walter Stephens, not only for his confidence in my work, patience, and guidance, but also for our many conversations from which I continue to benefit and which I hope remain alive for many years. Professors Renzo Bragantini, Christopher Celenza, James Coleman, William Egginton, Pier Massimo Forni, and Bernadette Wegenstein were readers of my early drafts and in no small measure helped to shape my ideas and redefine my methodological approach and focus. Many administrators also provided invaluable assistance in both the research and writing phases of my work: many thanks especially to Kathy Loehmer among them. Paola, Mario, Cristiana, and Eleonora Furlan, my surrogate family in Italy, showered me with an embarrassing display of hospitality during my research visits there; I owe them a tremendous debt of gratitude. Alongside them are a flurry of other hosts who facilitated and enlivened my research stays in Florence, Rome, Milan, and Padua. Among them are Niccolò Coli, Antontella and Francesco D’Amico, Hannah Friedman, Ludovica Jona, Naisa Mercuri, Alice Pinzani, Diego Scattolin, and Davide Trento. I extend my final, warmest and most heartfelt thanks to the following people: for their intellectual stimulation, friendship and support, most of it ongoing, Lorenzo Bacchini, Francesco Caruso, Bernardo Cioci, Celia D’Andrea, Richard Geekie, Janet Gomez, Katie Johnson, Andreea Marculescu, Maria Pia Norbis, Bridget Pupillo, Brian Tetrick, Daniel Tonozzi, Troy Tower, Eleanor Vanden Heuvel, Jennifer Watson; for their understanding and kindness, Armano and Marisa Zampini, Fabrizio Andaloro, Bruno E. Bailey; for their love and encouragement, Nicola Bianchi, and, especially, Carmela and Felice Zampini. Many translations of the texts I examine and any errors, discrepancies, or oversights therein and more generally, it goes without saying, are exclusively and entirely my own. ! """! ! ! !!!!!!!!!!!

Much more has been written, however, on the Humidi circle, and much of it in recent years. Like the Infiammati, the Fiorentina came under the biggest amount of contemporary critical scrutiny in the late 1970s and 1980s, but often in either exclusively historical or exclusively literary terms; when they were not studied as Cosimo I’s personal propagandistic tool, they were viewed in connection with comic and burlesque literature.

  • Observe a Crowd of People, Hear the Rolling of Drums, and in Front of the Church We Would Perceive an Exotic Man, the Centre of All the Attention
    I .4 CHAPTER EIGHT THE HERITAGE OF THE UMIDI: PERFORMATIVE POETRY IN THE EARLY ACCADEMIA FIORENTINA 14 Inge Werner , 1 t s , , Wandering through the small, dark streets of Florence in thesummer of 1547, we might have come across a remarkable sight. In the full sunlight of the square in front of the Santa Maria Novella,we would observe a crowd of people, hear the rolling of drums, and in front of the church we would perceive an exotic man, the centre of all the attention. This man was a Turk. He had come to Florence to perform his tricks, to make some money and to add to his fame. The Turkwas a lucky man; instead of being driven away by the city's authorities, Duke Cosimo I de' Medici himself invited him to stay in order to entertain the Florentine people. The piazza Santa Maria Novellawas assigned to him as a temporary stage. The Duke's choice for this particularsquare is remarkable, considering the fact that in the church, in the Sala del Papa, the Accademia Fiorentina used to hold its weekly, public, Sunday lecture. Why would Cosimo cross the functioning of the Academy, the official organ of his own cultural politics? I would say that his choice was one of strategic convenience. The annals of the Florentine Academy (henceforth Annah) point out how the presence of the Turk influenced the meetings.' On Sunday May the 8th it was recorded that the Turk first appeared within the city: "he did things" ("faceva cose") near the Duke's palaceon the other side of the Arno, the Palazzo Pitti.

  • L'etica Di Aristotele Presso L'accademia Degli Infiammati
    MARCO SGARBI L’ETICA DI ARISTOTELE PRESSO L’ACCADEMIA DEGLI INFIAMMATI 1. Introduzione. L’Ethica di Aristotele fu uno dei libri più fortunati del corpus aristoteli- co: godette di una trasmissione pressoché ininterrotta dall’antichità sino al Rinascimento1. In Italia la trasmissione fu continua, ma le fortune furono alterne secondo i contesti2. Nei contesti più formali, costituiti tipicamente dalle scuole, dalle univer- sità e dagli studia degli ordini religiosi, l’insegnamento dell’etica aristotelica era pressoché trascurato. Nelle scuole, anche laddove veniva insegnata grammatica latina, retorica o letteratura, lo studio della filosofia morale aveva un ruolo alquanto modesto, sebbene, soprattutto per gli umanisti, l’appropriazione della cultura classica antica fosse indissolubilmente legata alla condivisione e valorizzazione delle loro virtù morali3. Anche nelle uni- versità, almeno fino alla seconda metà del Cinquecento, la filosofia morale aristotelica non godette di grande prestigio. Il suo insegnamento talvolta non era nemmeno previsto negli ordinamenti4, altre volte veniva assorbito dalla cattedra di ‘umanità’ o studia humanitatis, e nella maggioranza dei casi prevaleva lo studio della filosofia naturale, propedeutica agli studi di medicina5. Negli studia religiosi, sia che fossero diretti dai Domenicani o dai 1 Per una generale panoramica della ricezione dell’etica aristotelica e della filosofia morale più in generale si vedano gli eccellenti lavori di Jill Kraye e David A. Lines: Kraye (1988, 301-386) e (1995, 96-117); Lines (2002) e (2012, 171-193). 2 Lines (2013, 58). 3 Ibid., 61. L’approccio degli umanisti rimase prevalentemente filologico; anzi, come afferma Robert Black, «overwhelmingly philosophical, the few moral or philosophical glosses are invariably lost in a vast sea of philological detail» (Black 2001, 9).

  • Bronzino's Lute Player: Music and Youth Culture in Renaissance Florence
    bronzino’s lute player musical dexterity. An inkwell with a statuette depicting the biblical story Bronzino’s Lute Player: of Susanna in a similar moment of being startled by the three elders spying Music and Youth Culture on her sits on a table to the right of the lutenist, along with the tip of a quill that is barely noticeable next to the inkwell. The quill, combined in Renaissance Florence with the lute, represents music coupled with poetry, with the statuette being a symbol of youth confronting age. Victor Coelho Rejecting the iconic, human shape of the lute’s body for the mechanism of the tuning pegs, Agnolo Bronzino (1503–1572) opens a window onto i youth. These are the pegs that bring the lute into tune, from dissonance to harmony. Images of tuning an instrument were often used to represent n Agnolo Bronzino’s portrait of a Young Man with a Lute in the the Platonic idea of being “in harmony” with the universe, but the most Uffizi painted in Florence around 1532–34, an unidentified youth common idea represented by tuning, or by the presence of a broken dressed austerely in black sits in a small, dark room with a statuette string, was vanitas.3 Just as a string can unexpectedly break, turning sound visible to his side and, more discreetly, the pegbox of a lute’s neck quickly into silence, the image of tuning can be seen as a comment on the Ileaning against his right thigh (Fig. 1).1 Even though the instrument is evanescence of youth.4 almost entirely concealed, it is still a prominent part of the composition.

  • ITALIAN MODERN ART | ISSUE 3: ISSN 2640-8511 Introduction
    ITALIAN MODERN ART | ISSUE 3: ISSN 2640-8511 Introduction ITALIAN MODERN ART - ISSUE 3 | INTRODUCTION italianmodernart.org/journal/articles/introduction-3 Raffaele Bedarida | Silvia Bignami | Davide Colombo Methodologies of Exchange: MoMA’s “Twentieth-Century Italian Art” (1949), Issue 3, January 2020 https://www.italianmodernart.org/journal/issues/methodologies-of- exchange-momas-twentieth-century-italian-art-1949/ ABSTRACT A brief overview of the third issue of Italian Modern Art dedicated to the MoMA 1949 exhibition Twentieth-Century Italian Art, including a literature review, methodological framework, and acknowledgments. If the study of artistic exchange across national boundaries has grown exponentially over the past decade as art historians have interrogated historical patterns, cultural dynamics, and the historical consequences of globalization, within such study the exchange between Italy and the United States in the twentieth-century has emerged as an exemplary case.1 A major reason for this is the history of significant migration from the former to the latter, contributing to the establishment of transatlantic networks and avenues for cultural exchange. Waves of migration due to economic necessity in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries gave way to the smaller in size but culturally impactful arrival in the U.S. of exiled Jews and political dissidents who left Fascist Italy during Benito Mussolini’s regime. In reverse, the presence in Italy of Americans – often participants in the Grand Tour or, in the 1950s, the so-called “Roman Holiday” phenomenon – helped to making Italian art, past and present, an important component in the formation of American artists and intellectuals.2 This history of exchange between Italy and the U.S.

  • THE ACCADEMIA DEGLI ALTERATI and CIVIC VIRTUE Henk Th. Van
    CHAPTER NINE THE ACCADEMIA DEGLI ALTERATI AND CIVIC VIRTUE Henk Th. van Veen The Accademia degli Alterati was founded in Florence on 17 February 1569 by seven young Florentines of patrician stock.1 The founders’ 1 A variety of sources inform us about the Academia degli Alterati. Most important of these is the Diario dell’Accademia degl’Alterati, Biblioteca Mediceo Laurenziana, Ash- burnham 558, the accounts kept by the provedditore of the sessions held by the Academy between 1571 and 1606. Then there are the Lezioni degli Alterati: Ashburnham 562. Important too are the preliminary notes the Alterato Giovambattista Strozzi put together between 1616 and 1621: BNCF MS Magliabecchiano, IX, 124; these were to serve for a history of the Academy that his fellow member Giovanni de’ Medici was to write, a project that failed to come to fruition because of the latter’s death. In addition to these sources, many of the literary products of individual Alterati survive in Florentine libraries, as well as letters to and from them. Cf. Michael Plaisance, “L’Académie des Alterati au travail,” in Michael Plaisance, L’Accademia e il suo Principe: cultura e politica a Firenze al tempo di Cosimo I e di Francesco de’ Medici (Manziana: Vecchiarelli, 2004), 393–404, esp. 404. Cf. also Giorgio Bartoli, Lettere a Lorenzo Giacomini, ed. A. Siekiera (Florence: L’Accademia della Crusca, 1997). Information on the Alterati is included in S. Salvini, Fasti consolari dell’Accademia fi orentina (Florence: Gio. Gaetano Tartini e Santi Franchi, 1717), and in 1748 the Academy’s fi rst printed history, D.

  • Burlesque Connotations in the Pictorial Language in Bronzino's
    Burlesque Connotations in the Pictorial Language in Bronzino’s Poetry* carla chiummo Università di Cassino e del Lazio Meridionale Agnolo di Cosimo, better known as Bronzino, was not only one of the most celebrated painters at the court of Cosimo I in Florence; he was also a dazzling poet, as Vasari reminds us in his Vite. Bronzino was the author of a Petrarchan canzoniere, as well as of burlesque poems. In his sonetti caudati, and in his paradoxical capitoli, burlesque language—characterized by its erotic puns and double meanings—interacts with the pictorial field in a strikingly original way. This interaction hinges on Bronzino’s employment of pictorial discourse: from simple, well-known burlesque symbols and metaphors—the paint brush, colours, bells, or the shapes of mosquitoes, carrots, and cheese—to the subtler use of burlesque topoi to face more serious and complex aesthetic issues. Agnolo Di Cosimo, plus connu sous le nom de Bronzino, fut non seulement l’un des peintres les plus célébrés à la cour de Côme Ier de Florence, mais aussi un poète éblouissant, comme le rappelle Vasari dans ses Vies. Bronzino est l’auteur d’un chansonnier pétrarquiste, ainsi que de poésie burlesque. Dans ses « sonetti caudati », et dans ses paradoxaux « capitoli », le langage burlesque — caractérisé par des jeux de mots érotiques et des jeux de doubles ententes — interagit avec la dimension picturale de manière remarquablement originale. Cette interaction repose sur l’emploi que fait Bronzino du discours pictural, depuis les symboles et les métaphores les plus simples et fréquents du vocabulaire burlesque — tels que les pinceaux, les couleurs, les cloches, les dessins de moustiques, carottes ou fromages — jusqu’au travail, plus subtil, de topoi burlesques, lequel engage des enjeux esthétiques plus sérieux et complexes.
