The Companion Guide to Rome Free FREE THE COMPANION GUIDE TO ROME PDF Georgina Masson,John Fort | 738 pages | 01 Jan 2010 | Boydell & Brewer Ltd | 9781900639453 | English | Woodbridge, United Kingdom The Companion Guide to Rome - Wikipedia Like many of the buildings in Rome, this piece is the product of a long gestation marked by numerous renovations, accretions, and ground-up The Companion Guide to Rome. What has emerged is a collection of portraits—nine in all—of my favorite Roman churches. The music is, at different times and in different ways, informed by the proportions of the churches, the qualities of their surfaces, the patterns in their floors, the artwork on their walls, and the lives and legends of the saints whose names they bear. The more I worked on these miniatures, the less they had to do with actual buildings and the more they became character studies of imaginary people, my companions for a year of living in the Eternal City.

Rome: Open-air art exhibition in Villa Borghese. In the days before Lonely Planets and Rough Guides became ubiquitous, many visitors to the Eternal City relied on a rather different kind of handbook: Georgina Masson's much-loved "Companion Guide to Rome". With no lists of cheap bars and trendy nightspots or glossy spreads on shopping, it was one of the last guides whose appeal lay solely in the erudition and enthusiasm of its author. However, even many of Massons most avid readers are unaware that she also enjoyed a photographic affair with Italy that saw The Companion Guide to Rome amass some 5, negatives, which on her death in she left to the American Academy in Rome. Her subject matter included social observation as well as architecture, gardens and of course the capital itself. All of these themes will be represented in an exhibition of her work which begins at the end of April, says the curator of The Companion Guide to Rome academy's photographic archive Alessandra Capodiferro. The portraits of local processions, religious ceremonies and scenes of everyday life provide a wonderful snapshot of life in the capital during the s, she adds. This Italy it's all changed. Masson's The Companion Guide to Rome Guide to Rome" was first published in Based on a series of walks, it provides a wealth of information about the capital's archaeological and architectural treasures alongside practical travel tips. Rome resident of 30 years standing John Fort, who has revised the guide for a new edition to be published in the autumn, believes its lasting popularity stems from the personal touch of the author. It's wide-ranging and very readable. A cross between a guidebook and a work of literature, Masson's "Companion" is also, he adds, rather idiosyncratic. She misses out a lot of churches, I imagine because she didn't approve of them. Little is known about Masson's early life and background, but she is fondly remembered as a colourful fixture on the Roman social scene. The people who knew her treasured her friendship," says Monsignor Charles Burns, who met her during the s through his work in the Vatican archives. Born in Rawalpindi, India, inMasson's real name was Marion Johnson, but for most of her life she was known as "Babs". The daughter of an officer The Companion Guide to Rome the old Indian Army, "she was empire through and through, says Burns. During the second world war she joined the British Ministry of Information and the Foreign Office, work that brought her to Rome, where she subsequently became a correspondent for the Architectural Review. She quickly developed a wide circle of friends which included some of Italy's most aristocratic families, such as the Pamphilj, who agreed to let her live in the stables of the beautiful Villa Doria Pamphilj at the top of the Gianicolo hill. This little grace-and-favour apartment was where Masson threw parties and served her explosive bomba atomica curry. Masson used her connections with the great and the good of Italy to gain access to the most beautiful and historic homes and gardens in the country. The result was two lavish books that combined her life-long interest in the history of architecture and landscape gardens with her growing skill as a photographer. Masson continued to develop her skills as a historian, publishing biographies of, among others, the Borgias and Queen Christina of Sweden, who moved to Rome after abdicating her throne. The writer was also the first woman to be awarded the Dumbarton Oaks Senior Research Fellowship in Landscape Design by the Trustees for Harvard University for her work on the history of gardens. It was this aptitude for researching a subject, for "doing her homework", that Burns believes made her so successful with the camera. That's the way Babs did things; she was very thorough in a nice way. She was The Companion Guide to Rome conscious The Companion Guide to Rome modernist traditions in photography, says Lauf. The entire collection of Masson's mostly black-and-white photographs can now be browsed in digital format at the American Academy. There are plans to make it available directly over the internet in the future. Just 35 The Companion Guide to Rome will go on show at the academy on 29 April, none of which have been exhibited before, and the selection process was long and painful according to Capodiferro.

  • Southern Italy - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia 7/17/11 10:20 AM Southern Italy from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Southern Italy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 7/17/11 10:20 AM Southern Italy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Southern Italy (Italian: L'Italia Meridionale) or colloquially Il Mezzogiorno (Midday) is a wide geographical, historical and cultural definition, without any administrative usage, used to indicate the southern half of the Italian state, encompassing the southern section of the continental Italian Peninsula and the two major islands of Sicily and Sardinia, in addition to a large number of minor islands. It coincides with the administrative regions of Basilicata, Campania, Calabria, Apulia, Molise, Abruzzo, Sicily and finally Sardinia, that is considered as part of Southern Italy more for geographic reasons than for historical and socio-economic reasons.[1][2] Some also include the most southern and eastern parts of Lazio (Sora, Cassino, Gaeta, Cittaducale and Amatrice districts) within the Mezzogiorno, because these territories were part, along with all the already listed ones (except Sardinia), of the historical Kingdom of Two Sicilies. Southern Italy carries a unique legacy of peculiar nature, archeology and culture. It features many major tourist attractions, such as the Palace of Caserta, the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, Herculaneum, and other famous archaeological sites (many of which are protected by UNESCO). Southern Italy is also well known for its beautiful beaches, woodlands and mountains (preserved in several National Parks), its medieval towns, its rich cuisine and its colorful folklore. The history of Southern Italy boasts numerous kings, queens, princes, popes, writers, poets, philosophers, knights, artists, architects, craftsmen, musicians, scholars, scientists, politicians and farmers.[3] The Istituto Nazionale di Statistica (ISTAT) uses the term Southern Italy also for identifying one of the five statistical regions in its reporting, but excluding both Sicily and Sardinia, which form a distinct statistical region denominated Insular Italy.

Born in Palermo Sicily in 1898 he inherited his ducal title in 1921. While a houseguest of Cole and Linda Porter in Venice in 1925, Fulco met one of the most significant people in his young life – Mme Coco Chanel. Coco was intrigued by the attractive young nobleman and invited him to Paris. He helped her remake the jewelry given to her by wealthy admirers and created her signature Maltese Cross Cuffs. Verdura was her jewelry designer until 1934 when the Porters lured him to New York. Fulco loved their sky-high palace in the Waldorf Towers but the rest of America beckoned. Together he and Nicky de Gunsburg bought a Packard convertible and motored to Palm Beach, then to the Paley’s in Mexico and finally on to Hollywood. With his excellent introductions Verdura was soon creating bold and innovative jewelry for film stars including Joan Crawford, Marlene Dietrich, Tyrone Power, Gary Cooper and Katherine Hepburn.

  • The Only Scotsman in Hell Auld Michael: the Emperor’S Sorcerer Frances M Dunlop
    The Only Scotsman in Hell Auld Michael: the Emperor’s Sorcerer Frances M Dunlop Quell’ altro, che ne’ fianchi è così poco, Michele Scotto fu, che veramente delle magiche frode seppe ‘l gioco. (Dante Alighieri, Inferno Canto XX) I first met him in Hell! In the Divine Comedy Dante, describing his imaginary journey through the world of the dead, writes of “Michele Scotto … who indeed knew the game of magic frauds”. As a student reading Dante for the first time, and making the acquaintance of his vast and fascinating array of characters – from the Bible, from classical Greece and Rome, and above all from his own medieval Italy – I was intrigued to meet this single mysterious fellow- countryman, Michele Scotto – Michael Scott, or Michael the Scot. Dante consigns him to Hell as a dabbler in the black arts, and vividly describes his punishment. For Dante, the punishment of sinners always fits their Michael Scott, second right, with other crime. The magicians, therefore, who on medieval Scottish scholars: Richard of St earth tried to look ahead into the future, Victor, Adam of Dryburgh, John Duns Scotus and Clement of Dunblane. are condemned to go into eternity looking Stained glass window in Pontifical Scots behind them, with their heads twisted College, Rome. painfully round on their shoulders, so Photo: Rev. Daniel Fitzpatrick. that they must walk backwards in order to see where they are going. Dante tells how he watched this grotesque procession shuffle slowly past, poor Michael among them, his tears running down his back! In the years since my first acquaintance with Michael I have come across him again often, as “Auld Michael the wizard”, hero of many Border folk tales – the man who with the help of a demon split a single mountain above Melrose into the three Eildon Hills; who rode his demon horse to Italy so fast that the Scottish snow was still on his bonnet when he delivered his message to the Pope.
