  • Soviet Central Asia and the Preservation of History
    humanities Article Soviet Central Asia and the Preservation of History Craig Benjamin Frederik J Meijer Honors College, Grand Valley State University, Allendale, MI 49401, USA; [email protected] Received: 23 May 2018; Accepted: 9 July 2018; Published: 20 July 2018 Abstract: Central Asia has one of the deepest and richest histories of any region on the planet. First settled some 6500 years ago by oasis-based farming communities, the deserts, steppe and mountains of Central Asia were subsequently home to many pastoral nomadic confederations, and also to large scale complex societies such as the Oxus Civilization and the Parthian and Kushan Empires. Central Asia also functioned as the major hub for trans-Eurasian trade and exchange networks during three distinct Silk Roads eras. Throughout much of the second millennium of the Common Era, then under the control of a succession of Turkic and Persian Islamic dynasties, already impressive trading cities such as Bukhara and Samarkand were further adorned with superb madrassas and mosques. Many of these suffered destruction at the hands of the Mongols in the 13th century, but Timur and his Timurid successors rebuilt the cities and added numerous impressive buildings during the late-14th and early-15th centuries. Further superb buildings were added to these cities by the Shaybanids during the 16th century, yet thereafter neglect by subsequent rulers, and the drying up of Silk Roads trade, meant that, by the mid-18th century when expansive Tsarist Russia began to incorporate these regions into its empire, many of the great pre- and post-Islamic buildings of Central Asia had fallen into ruin.

  • 2 FEBBRAIO 2015 Palazzo Dell'istruzione
    2 FEBBRAIO 2015 Palazzo dell’istruzione The building which hosts the head offices of the Italian Ministry of Education was designed by the architect Cesare Bazzani, well known in those days for having built also Palazzo delle Belle Arti (Palace of Fine Arts), which now hosts the National Gallery of Modern Art. The construction of the Palace, started in 1912, was completed only in 1928. The building recalls the style and the eclectic taste of the beginning of the Twentieth Century. Its monumental architectural forms, inspired by Classicism, are softened by the baroque lines which liven up the facade, enriched in the front as well as in the internal spaces by an important series of ornaments and symbolic decorations with book-shaped capitals, grotesque caryatids, battering- ram heads, flower garlands. From the monumental Hall which introduces to the Palace, you can access the Courtyard of Honour, currently used for commemorative and prize-giving ceremonies at the end of the school year. On the sides of the Hall, two Honour Staircases, made of white marble, lead to the Minister’s Offices and to the Ministry representative rooms (Ministers’ Hall, Minister’s and Head of Cabinet’s Offices) decorated by Antonino Calcagnadoro, Paolo Paschetto and Rodolfo Villani in the year 1928. The paintings, made with the cold encaustic and the casein glue poster paint, two of the oldest and most traditional techniques of Italian Art, depict some allegorical figures: Literature, Science, Wisdom, History, Genius and Art. The series, painted by Calcagnodoro for the decoration of the Ministers’ Hall, is particularly valuable. It is a sequence which illustrates Education and 1 Knowledge in the various stages of Italian history with the depiction of some of its most important representatives: Dante Alighieri, San Francesco and Santa Chiara, Leonardo da Vinci, Raffaello Sanzio, Benvenuto Cellini, Michelangelo Merisi.
