  • Celebrating 50 Years of Arte Povera Published on Iitaly.Org (
    Celebrating 50 Years of Arte Povera Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) Celebrating 50 Years of Arte Povera Alexandra M. Fanelli (December 28, 2017) The Italian art movement comes back this year with roaring success as the protagonist of several shows conquering New York's art scene as well as Europe's. It was November 1967, two months after his exhibition “Arte Povera e IM Spazio” at Genoa’s Galleria La Bertesca, that the Italian critic Germano Celant [2] published a manifesto on Flash Art magazine that would theorize and launch the Arte Poveramovement. The Origins Literally translated as ‘poor art’, the title refers to a group of Italian anti-establishment artists who, during the period of turmoil at the end of the 1960s in Italy, attacked the established ideals and the superficial consumer culture with unconventional materials and style. The term “poor” was not an indication of cheap, rather a reference to the artists’ use of humble, unconventional often ephemeral materials -wood, dirt, rags, steel, sacks, vegetables- alluding as well to the Polish director Jerzy Grotowski’s concept of “poor theater,” which stripped away lavish costumes and detailed sets and encouraged the actor’s relationship with the audience. Page 1 of 3 Celebrating 50 Years of Arte Povera Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) The poveristi favored an art form that was more conceptual and got rid of unnecessary layers, as a rejection of traditional 'high' art. “Arte Povera was concerned with taking away, eliminating, and downgrading things to a minimum,” said Mr. Celant. Among the core figures associated with the movement are Giovanni Anselmo [3], Alighiero Boetti [4], Jannis Kounellis [5], Michelangelo Pistoletto [6], Giuseppe Penone [7], Alberto Burri [8], Lucio Fontana [9], Emilio Prini [10], Pino Pascali [11], Enrico Castellani [12], Piero Manzoni [13], Luciano Fabro [14], Pier-Paolo Calzolari [15], Mario Merz [16], and his wife Marisa Merz [17], the only female member of Arte Povera.

  • Italian Fashion & Innovation
    Italian Fashion & Innovation Derek Pante Azmina Karimi Morgan Taylor Russell Taylor Introduction In Spring 2008, the Italia Design team researched the fashion industry in Italy, and discussed briefly how it fits into Italy’s overall innovation. The global public’s perception of Italy and Italian Design rests to some degree on the visibility and success of Fashion Design. The fashion and design industries account for a large percentage of Milan’s total economic output— as Milan goes economically, so goes Italy (Foot, 2001). Fashion Design clearly contributes to “brand Italia,” as well as to Italian culture generally. Yet, fashion is not our focus in this study: innovation and design is. Fashion’s goals are not the same as design. For one, fashion operates on “style,” design works on “language,” and style to a serious designer is usually the opposite of good design. Yet to ignore the area possibly creates a blind spot. With the resource this year of some students with great interest in this area it was decided that we should begin to investigate how fashion in Italy contributes to innovation, and how fashion in Milan and other centers in the North of Italy sustain “Creative Centers” where measurable agglomeration (a sign of innovation) occurs. Delving into Italian Fashion allowed us to rethink certain paradigms. For one, how we look at Florence as a design center. Florence has very little Industrial Design and, because of the city’s UNESCO World Heritage designation, has very little contemporary architectural culture. This reality became clear after four years of returning to the Renaissance city.

  • Italian Films (Updated April 2011)
    Language Laboratory Film Collection Wagner College: Campus Hall 202 Italian Films (updated April 2011): Agata and the Storm/ Agata e la tempesta (2004) Silvio Soldini. Italy The pleasant life of middle-aged Agata (Licia Maglietta) -- owner of the most popular bookstore in town -- is turned topsy-turvy when she begins an uncertain affair with a man 13 years her junior (Claudio Santamaria). Meanwhile, life is equally turbulent for her brother, Gustavo (Emilio Solfrizzi), who discovers he was adopted and sets off to find his biological brother (Giuseppe Battiston) -- a married traveling salesman with a roving eye. Bicycle Thieves/ Ladri di biciclette (1948) Vittorio De Sica. Italy Widely considered a landmark Italian film, Vittorio De Sica's tale of a man who relies on his bicycle to do his job during Rome's post-World War II depression earned a special Oscar for its devastating power. The same day Antonio (Lamberto Maggiorani) gets his vehicle back from the pawnshop, someone steals it, prompting him to search the city in vain with his young son, Bruno (Enzo Staiola). Increasingly, he confronts a looming desperation. Big Deal on Madonna Street/ I soliti ignoti (1958) Mario Monicelli. Italy Director Mario Monicelli delivers this deft satire of the classic caper film Rififi, introducing a bungling group of amateurs -- including an ex-jockey (Carlo Pisacane), a former boxer (Vittorio Gassman) and an out-of-work photographer (Marcello Mastroianni). The crew plans a seemingly simple heist with a retired burglar (Totó), who serves as a consultant. But this Italian job is doomed from the start. Blow up (1966) Michelangelo Antonioni.
