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.

  • Alpe Giarasson (Val Chisone)
    Alpe Giarasson (Val Chisone) Lunghezza: 13,29 Km Tempo percorrenza: 2h 30' Cartografia: ISTITUTO GEOGRAFICO CENTRALE Carta dei sentieri e dei rifugi 1:50.000 n. 1 Valli di Susa Chisone e Germanasca Periodo consigliato: giugno - settembre Tipo: asfalto 3,81 km (29%) - sterrato 9,48 km (71%) Dislivello: 650 metri Difficolta': B.C.A. (medio alpinistico) Effettuato il: 27 giugno 2004 Località di partenza: La Rua' (Pragelato) Accesso: da Pinerolo con la SS23 si risale la val Chisone sino alla Rua', capoluogo di Pragelato. Si parte nei pressi dell'edificio delle scuole comunali, quasi al termine della borgata. Si puo' parcheggiare la vettura lungo il Chisone. Descrizione: l'itinerario sfrutta i percorsi segnalati numero 1 e 2 che si snodano sul versante che discende dai monti Genevris e Blegier e che, durante la stagione invernale, vengono effettuati con l'ausilio delle racchette da neve (ciaspole). Dalle scuole comunali (0 Km) seguiamo la SS23 in direzione Sestriere per poche decine di metri e quindi imbocchiamo la via Rio Pomerol (0,07). Procedendo sempre in salita si guadagna dolcemente quota mentre la vista inizia ad aprirsi sul fondovalle e sulle cime che lo delimitano: citiamo tra le tante il Monte Albergian e la Punta Rognosa. Dopo una serie di tornanti, giriamo sulla pista forestale chiusa da sbarra (2,99) che transita nei pressi della Fontana Clot. Dopo un'altra serie di tornanti si prende la deviazione segnalata (sulla sinistra) per l'Alpe Giarasson (5,26). La pendenza risulta ora piu' marcata e una volta arrivati alle costruzioni dell'alpeggio (6,78) una pausa e' d'obbligo.

  • GP Turin 2018 Travel Guide
    “Torino is not a place you can leave behind” - Friedrich Nietsche 1 A brief history Torino was founded as a roman settlement, under the name of Augusta Taurinorum (“Taurinus” means bull-like and that was the name given by the romans to the local ancient tribes, because of their height and strength). After having been mostly anonymous through the middle age, it became the capital of the Savoy dukedom in 1563, under duke Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy. The dukedom of Savoy became a kingdom in 1713, and starting from 1848 the Royal family and the government began, through wars and smart political alliances, the process of reunification of Italy (known now as Risorgimento - resurgence). This led Torino to become the first capital of Italy in 1861. During the 20th century the city become a center of excellence for the automotive industry, but after hosting the Winter Olympics in 2006, Torino is seeing its popularity rising again as a worthy touristic destination, thanks to its beautiful baroque city center, its vibrant cultural life and its wine and food traditions. Getting to the City Torino Airport: Torino is served by the Sandro Pertini international airport. Although small, the airport offers multiple daily connections to most of the big European hubs, including Frankfurt, Munich, Madrid, Amsterdam and Paris (be careful if you’re flying through London: there are connections to Gatwick and Stanstedt, not Heathrow). The airport is also served by low-cost company Ryanair, which offers connections to Barcelona, Bruxelles-Charleroi, London Stanstedt, Malta, Ibiza, Valencia and Dublin. The airport is connected to the city center by bus.

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.

  • Enrico Marone Cinzano's Guide to Turin, Italy
    October 14, 2015 Enrico Marone Cinzano’s Guide to Turin, Italy By Staff Writer Designer, Count, and all-around Renaissance man Enrico Marone Cinzano shares his picks for dining, shopping, and sightseeing in the historic capital of Piedmont. A talent for creating elegant, quality objects might as well be Italian designer Enrico Marone Cinzano’s blood right—his paternal great-great-grandfather founded Cinzano vermouth and his maternal great-great-grandfather established FIAT Automobiles. It’s hardly surprising then that the Torino-born, Massachusetts-educated businessman and creative would go on to launch a sustainable fashion label, Project Alabama, in 2001, and a self- titled, nature-inspired furniture and lighting collection 11 years later. With a true passion for his hometown, Marone Cinzano shares his must-dos in Turin, from where to find the most authentic dish to the perfect way to spend a Sunday morning. http://www.departures.com/travel/travel-guides/designer-enrico-marone-cinzano-favorite-things-to-do-in-turin-italy What neighborhood are you from, and how long did you live there? I lived on the hill of Superga, just underneath the cathedral (Basilica of Superga). It was designed by Filippo Juvarra and it is a beautiful, classic Baroque building that is typical of the region (Strada Basilica di Superga, 73; 39-011/899- 7456;basilicadisuperga.com). Where would you put up friends visiting town? The Golden Palace, the most luxurious hotel in town by far! It is a large structure built during the Fascist era and houses these incredible and intricate sculptures holding up the frontal canopy.
