Founded by the Roman Emperor Augusto, Porto di Classe was known for being prosperous during the Roman Empire, Theodoric’s Empire and the Byzantine Period. The archaeological area is located 4km from the centre of Ravenna, a region that throughout this period was known for being politically and economically strong, and during this time the port served incredible importance as a commercial harbour. Today, visitors can follow an illustrated route or take a guided tour where they can relive the streets and buildings around the dock, which date back to the 5th Century. www.parcoarcheologicodiclasse.it/en NATIONAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM OF AQUILEIA 136 years after its opening, the National Archaeological Museum (MAN) of Aquileia in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region has been completely restored with themed rooms, new installations, more accessible spaces and a more complete and accessible history.

During the Carnival celebrations, Venice turns into an even more magical place. Every corner of this fabled city on the water flourishes with shows, music and parades. As in the past, private parties and masquerade balls still happen inside the Serenissima’s grand noble palaces. However, the most spectacular moments of the Venetian carnival - such as the “Flight of the Angel” and the “Festa delle Marie” – will take place at the St Mark’s Square, which becomes the centre of an amazing, open-air party. CARNIVAL OF VIAREGGIO Viareggio (Tuscany); 9, 17, 23 Feb. – 3, 5 Mar. 2019 www.carnevale-viareggio.it Among Italy’s most flamboyant events in Italy, particular mention goes to the Carnival of Viareggio. The floats made in papier-mâché are the stars of this carnival; huge, majestic, and thought-provoking, they are inspired by Italian and international politics and other current events, often represented in satire form, most times with a lot of irreverence. These parades draw thousands of visitors of all ages, who come to participate in the festive air that can be breathed in the town on the days of the masquerade processions. Events include big parties, sports events, slang theatre show and food stalls. CARNIVAL OF CENTO Cento (Emilia-Romagna); 10, 17, 24 Feb. – 3, 10 Mar. 2019 www.carnevalecento.com The Carnival of Cento is one of the most extravagant festivals in Europe, twinned with the Brazilian Carnival for the style of its allegorical floats, the beautiful costumes and for the riotous fun. It involves the whole city of Cento – located in Emilia-Romagna Region, near Ferrara – and it is dedicated to the arts, crafts and traditions of the area. Every year the Carnival hosts many famous guest stars for the world of culture, sport, entertainment, as well as beautiful floats made in papier-mâché. HISTORIC CARNIVAL OF IVREA Ivrea (Piedmont); 2 – 5 Mar. 2019 www.storicocarnevaleivrea.it The Carnival of Ivrea is one of the oldest and most particular festivals in Italy. Every year its world-renowned “Battle of the Oranges” (Battaglia delle arance) is opened by the traditional sounds of pipe and drum bands. The battle - which involves some thousands of townspeople who throw oranges at each other - represents the fight for liberty and has become the symbol of the Carnival of Ivrea; an incredible cultural and goliardic heritage that make this Carnival an “Italian Event of International Importance”. CARNIVAL OF FANO Fano (Marche); 17, 24 Feb. – 3 Mar. 2019 www.carnevaledifano.com The Carnival of Fano is one of the oldest Carnival in Italy and the biggest in the Marche Region. Allegorical floats and masks, masquerades, shows and fireworks all form part of it. However, what really makes this Carnival special is the launch of tons of sweets from the floats to the crowds of spectators, as well as the particular music that accompany the Carnival - the Arabita - which is played with both musical instruments and different other objects. FESTIVALS AND OTHER CULTURAL EVENTS THE SANREMO “FESTIVAL DELLA CANZONE ITALIANA” Sanremo (Liguria); 5-9 Feb. 2019 www.sanremo.rai.it The Italian Song Festival of Sanremo (also known as Festival di Sanremo) is the most important musical event of the Italian art scene and a major media event on Italian television. It was broadcast on the radio in 1951, a few years after the end of World War II; nowadays, it is held annually in the Ariston Theatre of Sanremo, the famous city of flowers and music in Italy. The Festival sees unreleased songs composed by Italian authors with Italian lyrics compete; the winner, voted by a jury and by popular vote, represents Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest. VERONA IN LOVE Verona (Veneto); 11 - 14 February 2019 www.veronainlove.it Held on Valentine’s Day, plus a few days before and after, Verona in Love is the event dedicated to Love and to Lovers. In these days, red hart lanterns and hundreds of love notes fill the streets, while live concerts, tastings and markets take place in the main squares of the city. The festival is a tribute to San Valentine and to the Shakespearian tragedy of Romeo and Juliet; therefore, tourists can visit Juliet’s house for a special price. RAVELLO FESTIVAL Villa Rufolo, Ravello (Amalfi Coast, Campania); 1 Apr. – 1 Nov. 2019 www.ravelloarts.org Music, theatre, opera, dance and arts – these are the main components of Ravello Festival, the event that, over time, has earned this small town on the Amalfi Coast the nickname of the “City of Music”. From spring to autumn, Ravello becomes the perfect destination for the music lovers who, far from the city crowds, can meet and listen to the concerts in the gardens and the rooms of Villa Rufolo, the place that inspired Wagner for the setting of his Parsifal. CILIEGI IN FIORE – BLOOMING CHERRY TREES FESTIVAL IN VIGNOLA Vigona (Emilia Romagna); 23 Mar. - 14 Apr. 2019 www.emiliaromagnaturismo.com Located in the province of Modena, at the beginning of the so-called “Food and Wine Trail”, Vignola is a Renaissance town that has been celebrating the production of outstanding cherry trees for 40 years. During the Ciliegi in Fiore Festival the entire town blooms with cherry trees, events, concerts, exhibitions, special restaurant menus, tasting sessions and related activities to enjoy. The “blossoming chariots” parade is a real celebration of blossoming of cherry trees. CLASSICAL GREEK THEATRE FESTIVAL IN SIRACUSA Siracusa (Sicily) 9 May – 6 July 2019 www.indafondazione.org Theatrical Classical Greek representations in the magical atmosphere of the Greek Theatre in Siracusa. This year’s programme includes plays by Euripides and Aristophanes. ARENA DI VERONA Verona (Veneto); www.arena.it The International Opera Festival presents a rich calendar of events.

Tuttavia quella che seguirà non sarà semplicemente, né esclusivamente, una storia del cinema sperimentale italiano “dai cine-club al Neorea- lismo”, piuttosto una proposta metodologica, teorica e critica, che prenderà le mosse dagli oggetti sopravvissuti di tale esperienza: ov- verossia i film sperimentali. Parlando cautamente di un “cosiddetto” cinema sperimentale, riconosciamo implicitamente un imbarazzo legato a una definizione che in termini storico-critici può creare fraintendimenti o confusione.

  • EVENTI Il Centro Storico Si Attraversa in Quindici Minuti: Camminare Fa Bene E, Alzando Lo Sguardo, Si Apprezza La Bellezza Attorno
    Benvenuti a Firenze! Vi auguro un lieto soggiorno nella nostra città. E’ di noi tutti perché è patrimonio dell’umanità; sentitevi a casa e amatela. Fiorenza, la città del fiore, culla del Rinascimento. Facciamola rinascere ogni giorno, riscopriamo i talenti e la creatività che ne hanno fatto la gloria e che continuano a sbocciare. Abbiamo liberato dal traffico e restituito a cittadini e visitatori luoghi importanti: piazza Duomo, piazza Pitti, via Tornabuoni. Con oltre 6 ettari di nuove pedonalizzazioni, diventiamo un modello di città sostenibile, bella e vivibile nello stesso tempo. EVENTI Il centro storico si attraversa in quindici minuti: camminare fa bene e, alzando lo sguardo, si apprezza la bellezza attorno. Nel 2011 è nata la Firenze Card, che permette di visitare 50 musei senza fretta, evitando code e prenotazioni, e di viaggiare sui bus. Abbiamo dato una nuova meravigliosa casa al Maggio Musicale Fiorentino inaugurando il APRILE 2012 Nuovo Teatro dell’Opera. Il 2012 è l’anno di Amerigo, un’occasione non solo per ricordare i 500 anni dalla morte di Vespucci ma soprattutto “per dare un nome al futuro”. Abbiamo allargato la superficie espositiva del museo di Palazzo Vecchio inaugurando una nuova sezione chiamata “Tracce di Firenze”: diamo più spazio all’arte e alla storia della nostra città con mostre permanenti ed esposizioni temporanee. Aprile è un mese ricco di cultura e di sport, ma è anche periodo pasquale. Quest’anno per la prima volta la cerimonia dell’accensione del fuoco con le pietre del Santo Sepolcro sarà celebrata la sera precedente allo Scoppio del carro. Per chiudere: torna la notte fiorentina più lunga dell’anno, il 30 aprile vivremo un’altra Notte Bianca facendoci coinvolgere in spettacoli di luce, musica e installazioni artistiche nelle piazze di Firenze.

  • Giulio Giovannoni Dossier
    Il lavoro di Medina Lasansky “Redisigning the Tuscan festivals” fa parte del libro “The Renaissance Perfected: Architecture, Spectacle, and Tourism in Fascist Italy”, pubblicato dall’autrice americana nel 2004 per la Penn- sylvania State University Press. Questo volume, che curiosamente è stato pressoché ignorato dalla Storio- grafia locale, riveste una notevole importanza nel campo degli studi toscani e dei Tourism studies. Esso evidenzia in modo nuovo il ruolo esercitato dal Fasci- mo nella costruzione al tempo stesso simbolica e mate- riale dell’identità toscana e ricostruisce il suo grande contributo allo sviluppo delle politiche per il Turismo in Italia. Dopo aver ripercorso la storia dell’innamora- mento degli inglesi per Firenze e per la Toscana a partire dai primi decenni del XIX secolo (Cap. I : “The Love Affair with Tuscany”), l’Autrice si sofferma con ampia evidenza documentaria sulla costruzione simbolica (Cap. II: “Mechanisms of Display: Festivals, Exhibi- tions, and Films”) e quindi materiale (Cap. III: “Urban Politics: the Fascist Rediscovery of Medieval Arezzo”) dell’identità toscana. La ricostruzione sistematica dello spazio urbano secondo i canoni di un Medioevo o di un rinascimento idealizzato in città come Arezzo e San Gimignano si accompagnava durante il fascismo alla promozione dell’identità attraverso i film, le mostre e i festival. La riscrittura («re-editing» nella terminolo- gia usata dall’Autrice) dello spazio urbano era quindi funzionale alla celebrazione del potere politico e del discutibile ideale di italianità da questo propugnato. Il nuovo spazio urbano diventava quindi la scena di gran- di manifestazioni storico-culturali nelle quali esaltare la prestanza fisica e la virilità del popolo e della razza italiche (Cap.
