It’s rather unfortunate that the majority of tourists visit the Tuscan city on group tours for just a few hours. They take out their cameras, snap a few photos of Pisa’s famous tower, baptistery and cathedral, and then off they go to Siena! The best Pisa attractions can be found painted on a vintage street map.

La Pergoletta Restaurant is open for lunch from 12:30pm and dinner from 7pm, Tuesday to Sunday. The Tuttomondo graffiti mural by Keith Haring is one of the most popular contemporary Pisa attractions. Tuttomondo by Keith Haring Pisa offers much more than just ancient attractions. The city also has a vibrant, contemporary vibe. It’s considered one of the best destinations in Italy for grafti and street art fans. Pisa’s most famous mural is a multi-coloured masterpiece called Tuttomondo by American artist Keith Haring. It’s the last public work painted by the celebrated artist. Sadly, Tuttomondo was created during the famous gay artists most challenging time. A few months after its completion he died from AIDS. Created in 1989, Tuttomondo is Keith Haring’s dedication to world peace. The theme, peace and harmony in the world, can be read through the links and divisions between the thirty gures which, like a puzzle, occupy 180 square metres of the south wall of the church of St. Anthony. Each of Haring’s lively gures represents a different aspect of peace in the world: the “human” scissors are the image of solidarity between Man in defeating the serpent (symbol of evil), which is already eating the head of the gure next to it; the woman with a baby in her arms represents maternity, and the two men supporting the dolphin refer to Man’s relationship with nature. https://dobbernationloves.com/travel-resorts/pisa-attractions/ 3/22 23/8/2019 Pisa Attractions: Explore Beyond The Leaning Tower | dobbernationLOVES RECEIVE UPDATES WHEN NEW STORIES ARE POSTED Name Email Address SEND ME UPDATES Dolce Pendente is a sweet pastry only available in Pisa. The dessert pays homage to the city’s iconic leaning tower. Keith Art Shop Cafe Via Riccardo Zandonai, 39-050-503135 We suggest visiting Keith Haring’s Tuttomondo in the early morning. You can enjoy a lengthy gaze at Pisa’s famous mural while sitting directly across from the artwork at Keith Art Shop Cafe. The speciality coffee shop serves high quality espresso, freshly baked pastries as well as a selection of savoury entrees such as risotto, ravioli and spaghetti. Pisa isn’t particularly famous for its pastries, but if there is one dessert you must try it’s the Dolce Pedente. A local pastry chef created the dessert in homage to the city’s iconic leaning tower. Dolece Pedente features tasty puff pastry rolled up on a base of short crust. A liquid layer of dark chocolate holds the leaning tower to its base while soft custard lls the pastry from top to bottom. Pisa’s favourite pastry can be ordered at Keith Art Shop Cafe in three avours: Toscano: chocolate from Azienda Amedie, pine nuts from Azienda Grassini, candied fruit, rice and raisins. Campano: cream, ricotta cheese from Azienda Busti, semolina and citrus fruits. Italiano: classic custard with milk, cream, egg yolk and vanilla. https://dobbernationloves.com/travel-resorts/pisa-attractions/ 4/22 23/8/2019 Pisa Attractions: Explore Beyond The Leaning Tower | dobbernationLOVES RECEIVE UPDATES WHEN NEW STORIES ARE POSTED Name Email Address SEND ME UPDATES Humorous artwork by local graffiti artist Exit Enter. Graffiti by Exit Enter If you take the time to explore Pisa closely you’ll likely notice playful grafti street art throughout the city. The works are authored by Exit Enter, a Florentine street artist who specializes in imagery featuring stylized little men, balloons, hearts, ladders and hand-held gures. Born in 1990, Exit Enter was born in Tuscany and devoted himself to drawing even as a child. In 2009 he enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence and afterwards devoted his skills to street art. In 2013 he created his signature character, “the little man,” and began to draw it on the streets of Florence and nearby Pisa. The artist’s characters always feature stylized men with a playful character that delicately performs actions; they y off attached balloons, try and reach for a beating heart and worship owers. At the heart of Exit Enter’s work is a playfulness that evoke’s our dreams and fears. In the work pictured above, Exit Enter brilliantly captures the local sentiment for tourists in Pisa. The city’s famous leaning tower takes a gavel to an unsuspecting camera! https://dobbernationloves.com/travel-resorts/pisa-attractions/ 5/22 23/8/2019 Pisa Attractions: Explore Beyond The Leaning Tower | dobbernationLOVES RECEIVE UPDATES WHEN NEW STORIES ARE POSTED Name Email Address SEND ME UPDATES Canottaggio Regatta and Luminara Festivals take place at Ponte di Mezzo and are one of Pisa’s most popular annual attractions. Ponte di Mezzo No trip to Pisa is complete without a stroll across Ponte di Mezzo. The famous bridge straddles the Arno River in Pisa, connecting Piazza Garibaldi with Piazza XX Settembre. From the second half of the 17th-century Pisa’s bridge was the seat of the homonymous game. The two districts of Pisa, Mezzogiorno and Tramontana, competed for the conquest of the bridge by pushing a wagon to the opposite side. Today, Ponte di Mezzo is a landmark for many of Pisa’s top annual festivals and celebrations, which take place in June. On the last Saturday of June, a historical reenactment takes place on the bridge, known as Gioco del Ponte (Battle of the Bridge). During the same time, boat lovers ock to Ponte di Mezzo for the annual Canottaggio Regatta, a canoeing competition which takes place on the Arno River. The most dazzling of Pisa’s festivals, Luminara, happens each year on June 16. It takes place on the evening of the Patron Saint’s Feast Day. The tradition of lighting the city with candles dates back to 1688. Over 70,000 candles icker at night along the river, with the festival nishing at 11pm with a reworks display at Cittadella Vecchia. https://dobbernationloves.com/travel-resorts/pisa-attractions/ 6/22 23/8/2019 Pisa Attractions: Explore Beyond The Leaning Tower | dobbernationLOVES RECEIVE UPDATES WHEN NEW STORIES ARE POSTED Name Email Address SEND ME UPDATES Local gelato lovers line up at De’Coltelli in Pisa.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines a group of terracotta sculptures attributed to an artist known as the Master of the Unruly Children. The name of this artist was coined by Wilhelm von Bode, on the occasion of his first grouping seven works featuring animated infants in Berlin and London in 1890. Due to the distinctive characteristics of his work, this personality has become a mainstay of scholarship in Renaissance sculpture which has focused on identifying the anonymous artist, despite the physical evidence which suggests the involvement of several hands. Chapter One will examine the historiography in connoisseurship from the late nineteenth century to the present and will explore the idea of the scholarly “construction” of artistic identity and issues of value and innovation that are bound up with the attribution of these works.
