I started my horticultural career later in life and following some volunteer work in historic gardens and completing my RHS level 2 Diploma, I was fortunate enough to secure a place on the Historic and Botanic Garden training scheme. I spent a year at Kensington Palace Gardens as part of the scheme. Following this I attended the Kew Specialist Certificate in Ornamental Horticulture which gave me the opportunity to deepen my plant knowledge and develop my interest in working in historic gardens. While on the course I was able to attend a series of lectures in garden history. My interest was drawn to the renaissance gardens of Italy, which have had a significant influence on European garden design and in particular on English Gardens. It seems significant that in order to understand many of the most important historic gardens in the UK one must understand the design principles and forms, and the classical references and structures of the Italian renaissance.

De familia florentina, enemiga de los Médicis, lppolito buscó desde el princi- pio mantener unas relaciones cordiales con las potencias europeas, a la vez que extender los dominios de los Estados Pontificios y de la Iglesia Católica. Así, res- pecto a Inglaterra siempre esperó su posible vuelta al catolicismo con la llegada de un rey católico al trono inglés. Espera, por otro lado, infructuosa. Dos hechos trá- gicos tuvieron lugar bajo el pontificado de Clemente VIII, y ambos tuvieron gran repercusión en su época: uno, fue el proceso y ejecución de los Cenci (Beatrice, Lucrezia, Giacomo y Bernardo), acusados de matar al padre de la familia, Francesco Cenci; y otro, el proceso y condena por la Inquisición de Giordano Bruno.

  • OUT of the BOX a Boutique Hotel, Intimately Connected to Its Roots in the Heart of Rome
    136 VOYAGE From Rome, Italy 137 OUT OF THE BOX A Boutique Hotel, Intimately Connected to its Roots in the Heart of Rome In Rome, a few steps from the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, the new Condominio Monti is a new boutique hotel that preserves the convivial atmosphere of its historic neighborhood, famous for its picturesque alleys and which oozes life during the day through its tiny craft shops and galleries, and by night through its trendy wineries and bars. The brainchild of entrepreneurs Kaja Osinski and Filippo Ribacchi, who helm Living Roma, Condominio Monti occupies an area of 900 square meters and has been developed within two neighboring buildings: hence the name, highlighting the intimate collective project, where attention is paid to shared spaces. Far from the aseptic standards of many major hotel chains, the new structure rewrites the concept of hospitality through 33 rooms, designed for selective travelers and design lovers, and a reception with a tailored edge. A concierge service based on the guests’ needs, offers suggestions for experiencing the Eternal City in contemporary and unconventional ways, with ad hoc illustrated itineraries at guests’ disposal in every room. The architectural and interior design, which preserves the structure of a traditional Roman house, with its bijou, but functional rooms distributed along a corridor, bears the signature of designers STUDIOTAMAT and the shades, finishes, fabrics, patterns and objects have been selected by Sabina Guidotti, founder of Bludiprussia. Photos © Condominio Monti 138 VOYAGE 139 Balanced lighting and custom-designed furnishings – from bedside tables to headboards – blend with a palette of bold colors, sophisticated wallpapers and decorative patterns that allude to the concept of "exotic", and are intended as a journey to discover “otherness”.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles the Orphan-Hero in Italian Renaissance Epic a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Satisfactio
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Orphan-Hero in Italian Renaissance Epic A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Italian by Sarah Sixmith Vogdes Cantor 2020 © Copyright by Sarah Sixmith Vogdes Cantor 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Orphan-Hero in Italian Renaissance Epic by Sarah Sixmith Vogdes Cantor Doctor of Philosophy in Italian University of California, Los Angeles, 2020 Professor Andrea Moudarres, Chair “The Orphan-Hero in Italian Renaissance Epic” investigates a commonplace present in epic poetry from antiquity to the Renaissance: the orphan-hero, a protagonist who grows up without the guidance of biological parents. The study traces this figure from its origins to the early modern period, beginning with classical epic in the introduction and focusing on 16th- and early 17th- century Italian poems in the body of the dissertation, namely Ludovico Ariosto’s Orlando furioso (1532), Torquato Tasso’s Gerusalemme liberata (1581), Tullia d’Aragona’s Il Meschino (1560), Moderata Fonte’s Floridoro (1581), Margherita Sarrocchi’s Scanderbeide (1623), and LucreZia Marinella’s L’Enrico (1635). Through analysis of these works, I address the following critical questions: 1) What links orphanhood and heroism? 2) Why might poets deem this tradition worthy of continuation? 3) Do modifications to the orphan-hero by different Renaissance authors reveal or emphasiZe shifts in thinking during the period? In particular, to what extent do the female authors fashion their orphan-heroes to fit an early modern feminist purpose? ii I propose that the vulnerability inherent in the parentless state is significant to the subsequent development of heroic qualities in Renaissance epic heroes.

I begin with a lexicon of sites and terms related to Roman concepts of disgust in the city, as they appear in the satiric sources I am working with. Then, in my next four chapters, I work chronologically through the extant satires to show how each author reflects or even appropriates practices from Roman street culture. Satirists both condemn parts of the city as disgusting—the parts and people in them who ignore social and cultural boundaries—and appropriate those practices as emblematic of what satire does. The theoretical framework for this project concerns concepts of disgust in the Roman world, and draws primarily on Mary Douglas (1966) and Julia Kristeva (1982). The significance of this work is twofold: (1) it argues that satire is, far from a self-contained elite practice, a genre that drew heavily on non-elite urban ii culture; (2) that it adds to a fragmentary history of Roman street culture.

  • Mok Restaurants ULTIMO MARCO
    Rome Suite Home restaurants Dear Guests, The following is a list of suggested restaurants that we have selected throughout the years (when we were slimmer… but we had to do big sacrifices and efforts to give you the best tips!). Because of the area in which they are located (downtown but authentic and not “tourist oriented”), the quality of the food (we have always had great meals there) and the reasonable price (15 to 30Euro each – depending on the wine you choose and how hungry you are), we feel like suggesting these places: these are not tourist traps but REAL ROMAN RESTAURANTS and PIZZERIAS where WE also go with our family and friends. S Vecchia Roma – Via Ferruccio, 12 (Esquilino, 3mins walking) The best AMATRICIANA ever! This is a typical restaurant where the house special is the Amatriciana (typical Roman pasta with tomato sauce, pork cheeks and pecorino cheese). Once ready, they throw the Amatriciana in the Pecorino cheese case where they add some pure alcohol and then they flame it up so that the cheese in the case melts in it making it soooo tasty! The pizza is very good as well and all the dishes from the Roman tradition (trippa, antipasti fritti, coda alla vaccinara, etc.) are made in the real traditional way. It is close to Santa Maria Maggiore, not far from Termini Station. Ph. +39 06 44 67 143 – www.trattoriavecchiaroma.it – Closed on Sundays and August S La Carbonara – Via Panisperna, 214 (Rione Monti, 5mins walking) There is one more famous in Campo de’ Fiori, but according to us that one is overpriced due to its “name”.

  • Chapter 3 Who Built the Pantheon? Agrippa, Apollodorus, Hadrian And
    Despite so much that is known about Roman buildings, Chapter 3 there is relatively little to say about the individuals involved in the ferment of their creation. We can reconstruct Who Built the Pantheon? confidently the original appearance of many a monument, but not much about their designers. This is not for want of Agrippa, Apollodorus, information; it is just not quite of the right kind. All around the Mediterranean survive ample ruins, including some Hadrian and Trajan strikingly well-preserved buildings, of which the Pantheon is the prime example. This physical evidence is illuminated by literary sources, inscriptions and brickstamps, and on Mark Wilson Jones occasion by maps and drawings inscribed in stone. Notwithstanding some long-running disputes, we can often be sure of the identity and date of individual monuments in major cities. We also possess quite a populous roster of architects’ names, thanks to numbers of their tombstones, along with the occasional textual mention of a few of the men at the top of their profession. Some buildings bear discreet architects’ inscriptions, yet these are nothing like as numerous and prominent as those of their patrons; it is they who take the credit. In short, it is normally impossible to join up specific surviving buildings with specific architects about whom we know any more than the name. In this the Roman period fares worse than the Greek, when architects were frequently tied to particular projects by specifications, contracts and accounts recorded on stone, while the names of famous protagonists can be found in the treatises of Roman writers, most notably Vitruvius and Pliny.1 By such means we know of no fewer than three individuals who had responsibility for the design of the Parthenon in one role or other, Ictinus, Kallikrates and Karpion, while a fourth, Phidias, the creator of Athena Parthenos, may also have had some architectural input.
