The zoological collections consisted of many Italian and foreign specimens, and among them on display were several amazing animals, peculiar for their provenance, rarity or dimension that gave rise to the social imagination of the Museum visitors. This paper provides a selection of the unusual animals on display and gives an account of their arrival at La Specola Museum as many specimens have a “story” to tell the visitor. Introduction of February, 1775 (Barbagli 2009:58; The Florentine Museum “La Specola” was Contardi 2009:15). In the subsequent founded in 1771 as the Royal Imperial years, the Museum became a well known Museum of Physics and Natural History, place for the Florentine people, so much so by order of the Grand Duke Peter Leopold that it was simply and popularly known as of Lorraine. It was his aim to reunite all the “La Specola”. The name “Specola” was for material related to natural history, i.e. “nat- the astronomical observatory located in its ural curiosities”, scientific artefacts and tower, which was built in 1789 (Miniati instruments, from the Medici collections, 1984:212), and soon developed into a separating them from the art collections town institution.

  • Santo Spirito Neighborhood Crawl
    florence for free free walks and work-arounds for rich italian adventures neighborhood crawl: santo spirito Distance: 2 km (about 1.2 miles) Time: 25 minute walk in total, plus time (up to a day!) for leisurely exploring Cost: $0 Directions: Start out by crossing the Ponte Vecchio. At the bridge’s end, walk straight ahead, looking for a small piazza on your left with a church tucked in the back corner (Sant Felicita). Venture further down Via de’ Guicciardini, past Palazzo Pitti, onto Via Romana, until you reach Via del Campuccio. Turn right, and then make the next right again at Via Caldaie. Walk up to Santo Spirito, head out at the far right of the piazza and turn left on Via Maggio. Walk down to St. Mark’s Church, cross the street and take that right on Via dei Vellutini down to Piazza della Passera. Take Via dello Sprone back out and follow it until you reach Ponte Santa Trinita. Places to see: • Santa Felicita – One of the oldest worship sites in the city, although the current structure mostly dates back to the 18th century. Head here when open in the early morning and venture in under the Vasari Corridor (the arch-shaped interruption in the church’s facade), which also doubled as a private balcony the Medici could worship from without mingling with ordinary plebs. The inside is certainly inspired by the style of Renaissance heavyweight Brunelleschi – the man who solved the riddle of the cathedral dome. He even designed the chapel immediately to the entrance’s right, today known as the Capponi Chapel, which features two masterpieces by Mannerist favorite Jacopo Pontormo.

  • Firenze in Guerra, 1940-1944
    Firenze in Guerra, 1940-1944 Il 23 ottobre, alle ore 17.00, si aprirà a Palazzo Medici Riccardi la mostra storica Firenze in guerra, 1940-1944; l’evento è promosso dall’Istituto storico della Resistenza in Toscana col sostegno della Regione Toscana, della Provincia e del Comune di Firenze. Documenti, immagini, voci, filmati, nonché fotografie provenienti dall’Archivio Foto Locchi animer- anno un ampio percorso espositivo ideato dagli architetti Giacomo Pirazzoli e Francesco Collotti. Intrecciando storie individuali e esperienze collettive, la narrazione attraverserà i pri- mi anni di guerra fino agli ultimi mesi dell’occupazione tedesca, quando la città e la provincia furono violentemente investite dal conflitto. Uno spazio di condivisione interattiva sarà garantito dal progetto Memory Sharing, che ha l’obiettivo di raccogliere e valorizzare documenti, fotografie, storie di vita relative agli an- ni del conflitto. Tutti possono contribuire al progetto, rivolgendosi alla postazione allestita all’interno della mostra oppure partecipando online, attraverso il sito www.firenzeinguerra.com (in costruzione). Al Rondò di Bacco, nel complesso monumentale di Palazzo Pitti, un film sonoro e la serie completa delle fotografie scattate dall’architetto Nello Baroni permetteranno di im- mergersi nell’esperienza dei “giorni dell’emergenza”, quando migliaia di fiorentini furono costretti a lasciare le case del centro storico per rifugiarsi nelle sale di Palazzo Pitti. La mostra, curata da Valeria Galimi e Francesca Cavarocchi – con la supervisione scientifica di Enzo Collotti – si snoderà attraverso tre scenari: la città della guerra (1940-1943), la città dell’occupazione (1943-1944) e la città della Liberazione. Fin dagli anni ’20 il regime assegna al capoluogo toscano un ruolo chiave nel progetto di fascistizzazione della cultura: importante polo accademico e editoriale, Firenze ospita una serie di riviste e istituzioni di rilievo nazionale, dal “Selvaggio” al “Bargello”, fino al Maggio musicale.

  • Passepartour 2019
    PASSEPARTOUR 2019 FIRENZE OLTRARNO THE KEYS OF ACCESSIBILITY Florence is a world heritage site and as such it must be accessible to all, without exclusion. Florence welcomes people with physical disabilities due to an abundance of pedestrian areas and accessible historical and artistic sites. It is also unde- niable that some routes of the city-center - similar to many other historical cities throughout the world - may present some difficulties for people using wheelchairs: for example narrow streets, tiny sidewalks that are not easily passable or not homogeneous pavement. To address this problem and provide information on which paths are the best to follow for people with physical disabilities, the Municipality of Florence in collaboration with Kinoa Srl have designed and published this Guide. The PASSEPARTOUR project is made up of four volumes, each describing four different tourist itineraries "without barriers". In addition, the guide provides a map of the historical city-center, highlighting all the areas that can be navigated with complete autonomy, or with the support of a helper. In addition, Kinoa has developed the navigation app Kimap, which acts as a companion tool to the guide for the mobility of disabled people. Kimap can be downloaded for free on every smartphone: the app shows the most accessible path to reach your desired destination and is constantly updated. We hope that this project will contribute to improve the tourist experi- ence for those visiting our marvellous City, opening the doors to its extraordinary heritage. Cecilia Del Re Councilor for Tourism of the City of Florence Florence is a world heritage site and as such it must be accessible to all, without exclusion.

Botticelli draws freely from mythological figures to create a moral allegory of chaste and pure love controlling the sensual passions. Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510), PALLAS AND THE CENTAUR (c. 1482).

Used by permission. © 2016 The Institute for Faith and Learning at Baylor University 69 Love in Control BY HEIDI J. HORNIK y the 1480s, Sandro Botticelli was one of the leading painters of the Renaissance and was working for the Medici family. Many works of Bthis period, often considered his masterpieces, use mythological sub- jects to blend contemporary historical references and moral instruction. Pallas and the Centaur, which is recorded in the 1498-1499 inventory as “Camilla and a Satyr,” originally was hung in the “old house” of the Medici family in a ground floor room alongside the chamber of Lorenzo, together with the Primavera.1 The old palace on Via Larga was owned by Lorenzo and Pierfrancesco de’ Medici, cousins of Lorenzo the Magnificent. The female figure with long blonde hair wears a wreath of olive branches with a diamond at the top. Her white, transparent gown is decorated with linked balls or circles, perhaps a symbol of the Medici family crest. She wears leather boots and bears defensive weapons—a diamond-crusted halberd (combined spear and battle axe) and a shield on her back.2 The centaur submits to her, despite his having a bow and quiver of arrows.

L’adozione della Carta dei servizi si inserisce in una serie di iniziative volte al miglioramento della fruizione dei musei da parte dei visitatori e a definire nuove strategie di ampliamento e diversificazione del pubblico. La Carta sarà aggiornata periodicamente in base anche al monitoraggio periodico dell’analisi dei dati sulla soddisfazione del pubblico.
