Built in 1988 on a project by the rationalist architect Italo Gamberini, it has been completely renovated on the futuristic project of the architect Maurice Nio. Today it has a col- lection of one thousand works by three hundred artists, including Mimmo Paladino, Mauro Staccioli, Jan Fabre, Lucio Fontana, Miche- langelo Pistoletto. But contem- porary art does not end in the mu- seum because everywhere, in the city, as in the rest of the province, we find installations and testimo- nies of contemporary authors of absolute artistic value such as the famous Square shape with cut by Henry Moore, which has become the symbol of the city, the Exegi monumentum aere perennius by Anne and Patrick Poirier, the Maz- zocchio by Ben Jacober and Yannik Vu, Waterbones Climbing in Tran- sition State by Loris Cecchini, the Great Dreamer by Fabrizio Corneli, Prometheus Strangling the Vulture II by Jacques Lipchitz, The missing link in the chain that is not there by Marco Bagnoli and many others and in Montemurlo: the Time Ma- chine, the Door of Memory, the Chapel of Light and the Factories of Art garden. 8 PRATO CONTEMPORARY CITY BETWEEN TRADITION AND INNOVATION Palazzo Pretorio Textile Museum Museum Cathedral Lugi Pecci Center for Datini Museum Contemporary Art Palace Museum Leonetto Tintori Planetary of Deportation House/Museum Science Museum 93 Montemurlo ontemurlo is part of cinto Fabroni.

  • Discovering Florence in the Footsteps of Dante Alighieri: “Must-Sees”
    1 JUNE 2021 MICHELLE 324 DISCOVERING FLORENCE IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF DANTE ALIGHIERI: “MUST-SEES” In 1265, one of the greatest poets of all time was born in Florence, Italy. Dante Alighieri has an incomparable legacy… After Dante, no other poet has ever reached the same level of respect, recognition, and fame. Not only did he transform the Italian language, but he also forever altered European literature. Among his works, “Divine Comedy,” is the most famous epic poem, continuing to inspire readers and writers to this day. So, how did Dante Alighieri become the father of the Italian language? Well, Dante’s writing was different from other prose at the time. Dante used “common” vernacular in his poetry, making it more simple for common people to understand. Moreover, Dante was deeply in love. When he was only nine years old, Dante experienced love at first sight, when he saw a young woman named “Beatrice.” His passion, devotion, and search for Beatrice formed a language understood by all - love. For centuries, Dante’s romanticism has not only lasted, but also grown. For those interested in discovering more about the mysteries of Dante Alighieri and his life in Florence , there are a handful of places you can visit. As you walk through the same streets Dante once walked, imagine the emotion he felt in his everlasting search of Beatrice. Put yourself in his shoes, as you explore the life of Dante in Florence, Italy. Consider visiting the following places: Casa di Dante Where it all began… Dante’s childhood home. Located right in the center of Florence, you can find the location of Dante’s birth and where he spent many years growing up.

  • Ambito N°7 PRATO E VAL DI BISENZIO
    QUADRO CONOSCITIVO Ambito n°7 PRATO E VAL DI BISENZIO PROVINCE : Firenze , Prato TERRITORI APPARTENENTI AI COMUNI : Calenzano, Campi Bisenzio, Cantagallo, Carmignano, Montemurlo, Poggio a Caiano, Prato, Signa, Vaiano, Vernio COMUNI INTERESSATI E POPOLAZIONE I comuni sono tutti quelli della provincia di Prato - Cantagallo, Carmignano, Montemurlo, Poggio a Caiano, Prato, Vaiano, Vernio - e parte del territorio dei Comuni di Campi Bisenzio e Calenzano, nella provincia di Firenze. L’incremento della popolazione in 30 anni è poco meno del 26%, il più elevato fra le aree della Toscana. L’unico grande centro urbano è Prato, che era fino al 1991 la terza città della Toscana, e in seguito la seconda, avendo sorpassato Livorno. Gli altri comuni sono tutti in crescita, in vari casi hanno ripreso a crescere dopo fasi più o meno lunghe di calo. Ad esempio, Carmignano: cresce fino al 1911, quando Poggio a Caiano era una sua frazione, e sfiora i 9000 abitanti, e riprende poi una moderata crescita; Poggio a Caiano, formato nel 1962, è da allora in crescita sostenuta (nel 2001 ha il 190% della popolazione legale della frazione esistente nel 1951). Vernio aumenta fino al 1931 (probabilmente in relazione alla costruzione della grande galleria ferroviaria appenninica) sfiorando i 9.000 residenti; poi cala, stabilizzandosi a partire dal 1981. Il numero dei residenti è quasi sestuplicato (570,8%) nei 50 anni dal 1951 al 2001: è senza dubbio il comune toscano che ha avuto un più forte ritmo di crescita. L’insediamento urbano recente è cresciuto occupando il fondovalle anche con insediamenti produttivi, sebbene essi oggi non abbiano il radicamento territoriale di quelli storici rispetto alla disponibilità di acqua, cosicché sono frequenti gli squilibri di scala rispetto alle dimensioni della sezione del fondovalle (Vaiano).

  • Stepping out of Brunelleschi's Shadow
    STEPPING OUT OF BRUNELLESCHI’S SHADOW. THE CONSECRATION OF SANTA MARIA DEL FIORE AS INTERNATIONAL STATECRAFT IN MEDICEAN FLORENCE Roger J. Crum In his De pictura of 1435 (translated by the author into Italian as Della pittura in 1436) Leon Battista Alberti praised Brunelleschi’s dome of Florence cathedral, Santa Maria del Fiore [Fig. 1], as ‘such a large struc- ture’ that it rose ‘above the skies, ample to cover with its shadow all the Tuscan people’.1 Alberti was writing metaphorically, but he might as easily have written literally in prediction of the shadowing effect that Brunelleschi’s dome, dedicated on 30 August 1436, would eventually cast over the Florentine cultural and historical landscape of the next several centuries.2 So ever-present has Brunelleschi’s structure been in the historical perspective of scholars – not to mention in the more popular conception of Florence – that its stately coming into being in the Quattrocento has almost fully overshadowed in memory and sense of importance another significant moment in the history of the cathedral and city of Florence that immediately preceded the dome’s dedication in 1436: the consecration of Santa Maria del Fiore itself on 25 March of that same year.3 The cathedral was consecrated by Pope Eugenius IV (r. 1431–1447), and the ceremony witnessed the unification in purpose of high eccle- siastical, foreign, and Florentine dignitaries. The event brought to a close a history that had begun 140 years earlier when the first stones of the church were laid in 1296; in 1436, the actual date of the con- secration was particularly auspicious, for not only is 25 March the feast of the Annunciation, but in the Renaissance that day was also the start of the Florentine calendar year.

  • Merchants and the Origins of Capitalism
    Merchants and the Origins of Capitalism Sophus A. Reinert Robert Fredona Working Paper 18-021 Merchants and the Origins of Capitalism Sophus A. Reinert Harvard Business School Robert Fredona Harvard Business School Working Paper 18-021 Copyright © 2017 by Sophus A. Reinert and Robert Fredona Working papers are in draft form. This working paper is distributed for purposes of comment and discussion only. It may not be reproduced without permission of the copyright holder. Copies of working papers are available from the author. Merchants and the Origins of Capitalism Sophus A. Reinert and Robert Fredona ABSTRACT: N.S.B. Gras, the father of Business History in the United States, argued that the era of mercantile capitalism was defined by the figure of the “sedentary merchant,” who managed his business from home, using correspondence and intermediaries, in contrast to the earlier “traveling merchant,” who accompanied his own goods to trade fairs. Taking this concept as its point of departure, this essay focuses on the predominantly Italian merchants who controlled the long‐distance East‐West trade of the Mediterranean during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Until the opening of the Atlantic trade, the Mediterranean was Europe’s most important commercial zone and its trade enriched European civilization and its merchants developed the most important premodern mercantile innovations, from maritime insurance contracts and partnership agreements to the bill of exchange and double‐entry bookkeeping. Emerging from literate and numerate cultures, these merchants left behind an abundance of records that allows us to understand how their companies, especially the largest of them, were organized and managed.

  • I Resti Romanici Dell'abbazia Di S. Martino in Campo Nel Territorio Di
    I resti romanici dell’abbazia di S. Martino in Campo nel territorio di Capraia e Limite Marco Frati I resti romanici dell’abbazia di S. Martino in Campo nel territorio di Capraia e Limite La storia: il medioevo. Le prime notizie sull’esistenza dell’abbazia di San Martino in Campo, situata a 213 m.s.l.m. lungo l’antica strada che percorreva tutto il crinale del Montalbano e non lontano dal confine fra le diocesi di Firenze e Pistoia, risalgono al 1043 o al più tardi al 1057, quando il vescovo pistoiese Martino le unì la chiesa urbana di San Mercuriale, istituendo il “monasterium Sancti Martini situm Casa Nova”. Come ha puntualizzato Natale Rauty, il monastero “in loco Casanova” è ancora citato nel 1148, quando l’abate Guido acquista numerosi beni fra Camaioni e Seano, ma nel 1166, in una seconda cartula venditionis di parte di un mulino sull’Arno, lo stesso Guido è detto abate “badie Sancti Martini […] in loco qui dicitur Campo”1. La chiesa dell’abbazia, fondata dai monaci benedettini e forse riformata da quelli vallombrosani, sarebbe stata ricostruita (secondo il libro dei ricordi della comunità, redatto nel 1679) da un inattendibile Ugo di Guido dei conti Guidi2 durante il XII secolo, abbandonando il vecchio edificio di cui sono ancora visibili i resti della parte orientale. Va detto 1 però che nell’atto del 1166 la badia (e non la chiesa) viene orgogliosamente definita “constructa et hedifficata”, come se il fatto recente e notevole fosse la costruzione del monastero. La struttura del monastero non doveva essere di grande complessità e ruotare, come di consueto, intorno al chiostro.
