  • The Impacts in Real Estate of Landscape Values: Evidence from Tuscany (Italy)
    sustainability Article The Impacts in Real Estate of Landscape Values: Evidence from Tuscany (Italy) Francesco Riccioli 1,* , Roberto Fratini 2 and Fabio Boncinelli 2 1 Department of Veterinary Science—Rural Economics Section, University of Pisa, 56124 Pisa, Italy 2 Department of Agriculture, Food, Environment and Forestry, University of Florence, 50144 Firenze, Italy; roberto.fratini@unifi.it (R.F.); fabio.boncinelli@unifi.it (F.B.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Using spatial econometric techniques and local spatial statistics, this study explores the relationships between the real estate values in Tuscany with the individual perception of satisfaction by landscape types. The analysis includes the usual territorial variables such as proximity to urban centres and roads. The landscape values are measured through a sample of respondents who expressed their aesthetic-visual perceptions of different types of land use. Results from a multivariate local Geary highlight that house prices are not spatial independent and that between the variables included in the analysis there is mainly a positive correlation. Specifically, the findings demonstrate a significant spatial dependence in real estate prices. The aesthetic values influence the real estate price throughout more a spatial indirect effect rather than the direct effect. Practically, house prices in specific areas are more influenced by aspects such as proximity to essential services. The results seem to show to live close to highly aesthetic environments not in these environments. The results relating to the distance from the main roads, however, seem counterintuitive. This result probably depends on the evidence that these areas suffer from greater traffic jam or pollution or they are preferred for alternative uses such as for locating industrial plants or big shopping centres rather than residential Citation: Riccioli, F.; Fratini, R.; use.

The many and varied depictions of the Last Supper in Christian art continue to attract us as viewers not only because of the sacramental importance of the event they represent, but also because they explore the friendships among Christ and the apostles.

Copyright 2008 Center for Christian Ethics at Baylor University 49 Depicting Christ’s Friends BY HEIDI J. HORNIK he many and varied depictions of the Last Supper—surely it is one of the best-loved biblical stories depicted in visual art—continue to Tattract us as viewers not only because of the sacramental importance of the event they depict, but also because they explore the friendships among Christ and the apostles. These two examples allow us to compare the representation of the Last Supper in a Northern Renaissance sculpture from Flanders (on the cover and p. 48) and an Italian Renaissance painting from Florence (see p. 50). In each object we can easily identify, for example, the intimate friendship of Christ and John the Beloved, for the artists follow a visual type for the disciple “whom Jesus loved” based on the scriptural reference of his “lying on Jesus’ breast” (John 13:23, 25, KJV). Domenico Ghirlandaio painted his fresco, The Last Supper, in the refect- ory or dining area of the Dominican monastery of San Marco in Florence.

  • The Italian High Renaissance (Florence and Rome, 1495-1520)
    The Italian High Renaissance (Florence and Rome, 1495-1520) The Artist as Universal Man and Individual Genius By Susan Behrends Frank, Ph.D. Associate Curator for Research The Phillips Collection What are the new ideas behind the Italian High Renaissance? • Commitment to monumental interpretation of form with the human figure at center stage • Integration of form and space; figures actually occupy space • New medium of oil allows for new concept of luminosity as light and shadow (chiaroscuro) in a manner that allows form to be constructed in space in a new way • Physiological aspect of man developed • Psychological aspect of man explored • Forms in action • Dynamic interrelationship of the parts to the whole • New conception of the artist as the universal man and individual genius who is creative in multiple disciplines Michelangelo The Artists of the Italian High Renaissance Considered Universal Men and Individual Geniuses Raphael- Self-Portrait Leonardo da Vinci- Self-Portrait Michelangelo- Pietà- 1498-1500 St. Peter’s, Rome Leonardo da Vinci- Mona Lisa (Lisa Gherardinidi Franceso del Giacondo) Raphael- Sistine Madonna- 1513 begun c. 1503 Gemäldegalerie, Dresden Louvre, Paris Leonardo’s Notebooks Sketches of Plants Sketches of Cats Leonardo’s Notebooks Bird’s Eye View of Chiana Valley, showing Arezzo, Cortona, Perugia, and Siena- c. 1502-1503 Storm Breaking Over a Valley- c. 1500 Sketch over the Arno Valley (Landscape with River/Paesaggio con fiume)- 1473 Leonardo’s Notebooks Studies of Water Drawing of a Man’s Head Deluge- c. 1511-12 Leonardo’s Notebooks Detail of Tank Sketches of Tanks and Chariots Leonardo’s Notebooks Flying Machine/Helicopter Miscellaneous studies of different gears and mechanisms Bat wing with proportions Leonardo’s Notebooks Vitruvian Man- c.

  • THE "VIA FRANCIGENA" and the ITALIAN ROUTES to SANTIAGO by Paolo CAUCCI VON SAUCKEN (Italy) 1988
    THE "VIA FRANCIGENA" AND THE ITALIAN ROUTES TO SANTIAGO by Paolo CAUCCI VON SAUCKEN (Italy) 1988 http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paolo_Caucci_von_Saucken#Studi_ispanici The relationship between Italy and Santiago de Compostela dates back avery long way. Suffice it to point out that four of the 22 miracles described in Book II of the "Liber Sancti Jacobi" expressly concern Italian pilgrims. This shows that there was an interest in Santiago in the first half of the 12th century, and that specific links existed. Moreover, the frequent contacts between the Bishopric in Santiago de Compostela and Rome, many of which existed as a result of the pilgrims that went to one or other, are recorded in "Historia Compostellana", which also bears witness to the existence of Italian brotherhoods of former pilgrims as far back as 1120. It records that, on the occasion of a trip he made to Rome, to obtain the rank of Archbishopric for the bishopric in Santiago de Compostela, Bishop Porto was accompanied and supported by, " ceteri quam plures Ecclesiae beati jacobi confratres, qui Beatum jacobum-olim adierant, et seipsos ipsi apostoli subjugaverant. Propterea ecclesiam Beati jacobi usquequaque diligebant et eius Episcopum." Further proof of the strong links between Italy and Santiago, in the time of Gelmirez is provided by the fact that the sole relic of the apostle from Santiago cathedral was sent, after lengthy, voluminous correspondence, to Italy, there it prompted the establishment of a major centre of worship of St. James in Pistoia. Furthermore, as research into Italian involvement in pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela progresses, new information testifying to the existence of increasingly complex, intricate relations is constantly emerging.

  • Neotectonic Evidence in the Quaternary Continental Carbonates from Southern Valdelsa Basin (Tuscany)
    Il Quaternario Italian Journal of Quaternary Sciences 19(1), 2006 - 155-166 NEOTECTONIC EVIDENCE IN THE QUATERNARY CONTINENTAL CARBONATES FROM SOUTHERN VALDELSA BASIN (TUSCANY) Enrico Capezzuoli1 & Fabio Sandrelli1 1Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra, Via Laterina 8, 53100, Siena. e.mail: [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT: E. Capezzuoli et al., Neotectonic evidence in the quaternary continental carbonates from southern Valdelsa Basin (Tuscany). (IT ISSN 0394-3356, 2006). Recognition of tectonic structures in Quaternary sediments is usually very difficult, mainly in detrital and uncemented deposits. On the contrary, Quaternary continental carbonates represent an important exception that have the quality of being potential indicators of neotectonics significance. Facies analyses of some Quaternary calcareous tufa succession in the Valdelsa Basin (Southern Tuscany) point out a neotectonics activity that have interested these deposits during the Middle Pleistocene-Holocene. Recognition of neotec- tonics activity is mainly based on identification of “anomalous” bedding of these recent deposits, in contrast with the original setting of their depositional environment. This evidence imply two tectonic phases in southern Valdelsa during the Middle-Late Pleistocene and the Late Pleistocene-Holocene. All this evidence will be useful for a better comprehension of the evolution of this Northern Apennine sector during the Quaternary. RIASSUNTO: E. Capezzuoli et al., Evidenze di neotettonica nei carbonati continentali quaternari della Valdelsa (Toscana). (IT ISSN 0394-3356, 2006).
