Unlike almost all the other contributions, it is far more than an informative chronicle. It is a work of history in its own right and falsely described as a Life of Alexander 111. Boso's work is in fact a history of the Iong schism in the church brought about by the double election of I159 and perpet- uated until the Peace of Venice in I 177. It makes no claim to be a Life of Alexander because it not only says nothing about his career before his election but also purposely omits all those events and activities of his pontificate which do not strictly belong to the history of the schism. It ends with Alexander's return to Rome in 1176. Some historians have imagined that this ending was enforced by Boso's death which is supposed to have taken piace in 1178.~But there is no need for such a supposition.

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-14770-6 — Turin and the British in the Age of the Grand Tour Edited by Paola Bianchi , Karin E. Wolfe Frontmatter More Information i Turin and the British in the Age of the Grand Tour h e Duchy of Savoy i rst claimed royal status in the seventeenth century, but only in 1713 was Victor Amadeus II, Duke of Savoy (1666– 1732), crowned King of Sicily. h e events of the Peace of Utrecht (1713) sanc- tioned the decades- long project the Duchy had pursued through the con- voluted maze of political relationships between foreign powers. Of these, the British Kingdom was one of their most assiduous advocates, because of complementary dynastic, political, cultural and commercial interests. A notable stream of British diplomats and visitors to the Sabaudian capital engaged in an extraordinary and reciprocal exchange with the Turinese during this fertile period. h e l ow of travellers, a number of whom were British emissaries and envoys posted to the court, coincided, in part, with the itineraries of the international Grand Tour which transformed the capital into a gateway to Italy, resulting in a conl agration of cultural cosmopolitanism in early modern Europe. PAOLA BIANCHI teaches Early Modern History at the Universit à della Valle d’Aosta. She has researched and written on the journeys of various English travellers who came to Italy in the eighteenth century to be pre- sented at the Savoy court and to be part of Piedmont society. Her pub- lications include Onore e mestiere. Le riforme militari nel Piemonte del Settecento (2002); Cuneo in et à moderna.

The work, particularly rich in detail, depicts a fanciful coastal landscape, such as the scene of a bustling scene animated by rich buyers, merchants and fishermen, busy in their daily activities. The style with which the characters and genre scenes are underlined perfectly expresses the style of the master. The figures seem to be typical of the repertoire of the Dutch painter, where the influence of the Bamboccianti school learned during his stay in Rome is evident; The details of the work, the characters in the first place, can be compared to those who populate one of the most famous paintings of Bolckman, illustrating the extension of the shroud of Piazza Castello, now located in the castle of Racconigi, 'Opera' Scene of popular life overlooking Piazza Castello 'from Palazzo Madama to Turin.

  • Honors Thesis
    Honors thesis SPECIALISTIC DEGREE COURSE of «Design of gardens, parks and landscape» Abstract «The Park of the Castle of Racconigi, an unique experience of restoring and managing» Tutor by Prof.ssa Maria Adriana GIUSTI Marco FERRARI Graduation session February 2016 Since 1980 - year of the acquisition by the State Property Administration - up to 2010, the 180 hectares of the park of the Castle of Racconigi benefited from the restoration involving, an estimate 18 million Euros of investments. In these thirty years, the works have been supervised by the architect Mirella Macera, a Superintendence of Cultural Heritage official and Director of the Manor since 1994. She had discovered and deeply understood the spirit of the park in the first place, having being hosted there with her family since 1983. Having lived there and having dealt with it throughout the years, she got to imagine and plan the most appropriate management strategies and to put together an efficient staff to pursue these objectives. After having opened to the public in 1992, the castle and the park hosted just over 16.000 visitors, while 14 years later, in 2006, the threshold of 200.000 visits was reached, getting more than 12 times the initial visitors. Therefore, Racconigi for that year was the third most visited museum in Piedmont. It was acknowledged as a UNESCO Heritage Site and registered in the European network «Natura 2000» as Site of Community Importance. In 2010 it also received the award as «Italy’s Most Beautiful Park». Racconigi: the town, the castle and the park. Aerial photo, 2003.

The project to be shown at the Lia Rumma Gallery in Naples is entitled Preparing the Flute and presents a reduced scale interior of a theatre which refers to the set design adopted in Brussels. The structure has a series of five progressive wings which mark out the perspective of the space and act as a frame for the video projected onto the end wall. At the same time other animated images, these also drawn with white lines onto a black background are projected frontally using the lateral wings as screens. The video and the drawings on display in the exhibition show landscapes and figures that allude, often in ironical fashion, to the events and characters from Mozart’s opera. In this way, the themes which are already present in other of Kentridge’s works – such as the caged lion, the metamorphosis whereby objects are transformed into animals, the broken lines that become brightly lit paths..

  • The History of Painting in Italy, Vol. V
    The History Of Painting In Italy, Vol. V By Luigi Antonio Lanzi HISTORY OF PAINTING IN UPPER ITALY. BOOK III. BOLOGNESE SCHOOL. During the progress of the present work, it has been observed that the fame of the art, in common with that of letters and of arms, has been transferred from place to place; and that wherever it fixed its seat, its influence tended to the perfection of some branch of painting, which by preceding artists had been less studied, or less understood. Towards the close of the sixteenth century, indeed, there seemed not to be left in nature, any kind of beauty, in its outward forms or aspect, that had not been admired and represented by some great master; insomuch that the artist, however ambitious, was compelled, as an imitator of nature, to become, likewise, an imitator of the best masters; while the discovery of new styles depended upon a more or less skilful combination of the old. Thus the sole career that remained open for the display of human genius was that of imitation; as it appeared impossible to design figures more masterly than those of Bonarruoti or Da Vinci, to express them with more grace than Raffaello, with more animated colours than those of Titian, with more lively motions than those of Tintoretto, or to give them a richer drapery and ornaments than Paul Veronese; to present them to the eye at every degree of distance, and in perspective, with more art, more fulness, and more enchanting power than fell to the genius of Coreggio. Accordingly the path of imitation was at that time pursued by every school, though with very little method.

  • Andrea Bruno at the Velasca Tower
    Milan, 9 May 2016 Starting today, the Velasca Tower will host an exhibition dedicated to an Italian master architect PROGETTARE L’ESISTENTE (DESIGNING THE EXISTING) ANDREA BRUNO AT THE VELASCA TOWER At the Velasca Tower, an exhibition of the architect Andrea Bruno expands on the themes of recovery and conservation A tribute to the architect Andrea Bruno before his departure for Paris where he will be awarded an honorary degree by the Conservatoire national des arts et métiers on 13 May Until 5 July, the Velasca Tower will host a retrospective exhibition dedicated to Andrea Bruno, an Italian mater architect who has linked his name to the design of museums and the ingenious conversion of historic buildings. For Andrea Bruno, transformation is “the only way to guarantee the preservation of memories through architecture”. The Velasca Tower, which has always represented the perfect synthesis of tradition and innovation, is thus the ideal location to display some of the main projects by the architect Andrea Bruno. During his professional career, Bruno has found the right balance between historic value and functionality, highlighting how the restoration of architectural icons can still be an opportunity for functional and economic historical enhancement. On display are 16 models, photographs, original sketches and technical drawings of some of the many projects realised from the 60s up until today, through which it is possible to understand the profound meaning of Designing the Existing for Bruno. An approach that starts with the identification of the correct use for the “existing” in order to enhance the same through innovative and always original design solutions that ensure its conservation over time.

  • “Comparative Urbanism” in Post- Fordist Cities
    Journal for interdisciplinary research in architecture, design and planning contourjournal.org RESEARCH ARTICLE COMPARING HABITATS The Challenges of “Comparative Urbanism” in Post- Fordist Cities: The cases of Turin and Detroit AUTHORS Asma Mehan 1 AFFILIATIONS 1 CITTA - Research Center for Territory, Transports and Environment. University of Porto UP . Portugal CONTACT [email protected] 1 | September 15, 2019 | DOI https://doi.org/10.6666/contour.v0i4.92 ASMA MEHAN Abstract In 1947, the U.S. Secretary of State, George C. Marshall announced that the USA would provide development aid to help the recovery and reconstruction of the economies of Europe, which was widely known as the ‘Marshall Plan’. In Italy, this plan generated a resurgence of modern industrialization and remodeled Italian Industry based on American models of production. As the result of these transnational transfers, the systemic approach known as Fordism largely succeeded and allowed some Italian firms such as Fiat to flourish. During this period, Detroit and Turin, homes to the most powerful automobile corporations of the twentieth century, became intertwined in a web of common features such as industrial concentration, mass flows of immigrations, uneven urban sprawl, radical iconography and inner-city decay, which characterized Fordism in both cities. In the crucial decades of the postwar expansion of the automobile industries, both cities were hubs of labor battles and social movements. However, after the radical decline in their industries as previous auto cities, they experienced the radical shift toward post-Fordist urbanization and production of political urbanism. This research responds to the recent interest for a comparative (re)turn in urban studies by suggesting the conceptual theoretical baseline for the proposed comparative framework in post-Fordist cities.

  • ARRE Study Days 2012 Lite EN-1
    ARRE Study Days 2012 Royal Residences, History and Territory: the experience of Piedmont Reggia di Venaria (16 – 23 June 2012) This year the second edition of the “ARRE Study Days” will be held at the Reggia di Venaria, near Turin - the ancient capital of the State of Savoy - from Saturday, June 16 to Saturday, June 23, 2012. The Summer School is organised by the Department of Culture of Regione Piemonte and the Research Department of the Reggia di Venaria, in collaboration with the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities – Regional Department for Cultural Heritage and Landscape of Piedmont. The theme of this year’s ARRE Summer School is Royal Residences, History and Territory: the experience of Piedmont. Piedmont is a region traditionally characterised by an industrial vocation, that made it one of the drivers of Italy’s development. However, deep changes have occurred over the past twenty years and the Region’s eminently industrial vocation has been replaced by tourist appeal. This process is particularly evident in the Region’s capital, Turin, a city that was regarded for years as Italy’s Detroit for its automotive industry and perceived as a grim factory town. In less than one generation, Turin has managed to restore the glory of its past as an ancient capital of baroque and successfully consolidated its new status as a major tourist destination. According to the data from the National Tourist Bureau during the Christmas Holidays of 2010-11 and 2011-12 tourists chose Turin over such fierce competitors as Venice, Florence and Milan: a scenario that would have been simply unthinkable only a decade ago.
