In 1906, the Sovereign Realty Co. purchased large tracks of land north of the railroad, which were developed by Giovanni (John) Campagnoli as the Italian-American neighborhood of “Marconiville” – named for wireless communications inventor Guglielmo Marconi. Several other housing developments arose in the following decades, including Amity Harbor, Deauville Gardens and American Venice. Unique in concept and layout, the American Venice project was designed to emulate the grand City of Canals, Venice, Italy, complete with gondolas and bridges linking the neighborhoods. An ornate gazebo sat on an island in the middle of a laguna at the north end of a canal framed by striped mooring poles and gondolas imported from Italy. From their perch of towering columns, statues of winged lions invited passersby to come closer and explore, to saunter over arched Venetian bridges and past Italian-style villas MY HOMETOWN I grew up in this little town, sometimes called a hamlet, Copiague. Lots of Italian Americans lived there along with many Irish families and a sprinkling of other cultures. Many of the streets had Italian Names, Marconi Blvd, Campagnoli Street, Columbo, Corsica, Garibaldi, Leonardo Da Vinci, Meucci Ave., Verazzano, Verdi and Vespucci, and probably a few more. It had a small town feel, and was a very nice place to grow up, of course I didn’t appreciate it then as I do now. ANGELA DONATO ART NOUVEAU ART DECO ART NOUVEAU was an artistic and architectural movement that blossomed late in the 19th century and (in Italy) lasted into the 1930s. In Italy the movement was called "Liberty" for the firm Liberty and Company in London's Regent Street, which sold this kind of art for several decades. In architecture and painting the Art Nouveau movement took different forms in different countries, so the style varied from London to Paris to New York. Its flowing, flowery forms distinguished Art Nouveau from contemporary architectural styles such as Art Deco. The sculpted leaves (shown here) over the entrance of Villino Ida are a typical motif. With Liberty stained The streets running off it between Politeama glass windows were widely introduced in Sicily for and the Giardino Inglese, and Mondello (a the first time. seaside district outside town). Palazzo Dato (at Via XX Settembre 36), designed by Vincenzo Alagna, seems to epitomise the Art Nouveau. Around the corner (at Via XII Gennaio 32), Villa Failla is another fine example of Sicilian Liberty. Ernesto Basile's own home, Villino Ida (at Via Siracusa 15), completed in 1904, is Art Nouveau with a touch of what looks a little like early, geometric Art Deco. Villino Caruso, designed by Filippo La Porta during the same period, is a fine example of the new movement, inside and out. Like Art Deco, Art Nouveau was a total style encompassing architecture, interior design, painting, graphics, fashion, furniture design and other areas.

The romantic and tragic operatic composer was born in Catania at the end of 1801. Vincenzo Bellini along with highly productive contemporaries Gaetano Donizetti and Giuseppe Verdi, all three were masters of the Italian operatic school of "bel canto." Bellini was known for his long-flowing melodic lines for which he was named "the Swan of Catania". Many years later, in 1898, Giuseppe Verdi "praised the broad curves of Bellini's melody: 'there are extremely long melodies as no-one else had ever made before'. Probably displaying a natural propensity for music at an early age, he was allowed to travel to Naples, then not merely the capital of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies but a bustling, vibrant and colorful center of culture. Bellini studied at the Music Conservatory with some of the greatest contemporary teachers in Europe of this refined art form called "lyric opera," whose showcase was the San Carlo, one of Italy's most important opera houses. He came to the attention of a well-known impresario, Domenico Barbaja. This Neapolitan artistic entrepreneur introduced the young Bellini to the famous opera house of Milan, La Scala. Thanks to Barbaja, Bellini was commissioned to compose Il Pirata in 1827. What ensued was a succession of beautiful operas displaying with each passing year a growing sophistication, and for Bellini an artistic liberation from the dominance of that other contemporary giant, Gioacchino Rossini --a friend of Bellini. Of his ten operas the more memorable are I Capuleti e i Montecchi in 1830, based on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, La Sonnambula in 1831, the tragic and ancient story of Norma with the magnificent Signora Pasta singing the title role and, finally in 1835, I Puritani. After his initial success in Naples, most of the rest of his short life was spent outside of both Sicily and Naples, those years being followed with his living and composing in Milan and Northern Italy, and—after a visit to London—then came his final masterpiece in Paris, I puritani . Only nine months later, Bellini died in Puteaux, France at the age of 33, in 1835, of intestinal disease and a liver ailment. TRIVIA QUESTIONS 1.

  • Il Secondo Concorso Per Il Parlamento Di Ernesto Basile. Analisi E Ricostruzione Congetturale
    42° Convegno Internazionale dei Docenti delle Discipline della Rappresentazione Congresso della Unione Italiana per il Disegno Il secondo concorso per il Parlamento di Ernesto Basile. Analisi e ricostruzione congetturale Fabrizio Avella Abstract Lo studio si inquadra nel settore delle ricostruzioni congetturali di progetti a partire da disegni di archivio. Nel caso specifico, si tratta del progetto di Ernesto Basile per il secondo concorso per il Parlamento del Regno d’Italia, conclusosi nel 1889. È un progetto molto maturo, premiato dalla Commissione giudicatrice ex aequo insieme ad altri quattro, e conclude la fase dei concorsi romani (1882-89), segnata da un linguaggio classicista che permea i progetti per le sedi istituzionali. I disegni originari dell’opera, non realizzata, sono conservati presso la Dotazione Basile-Ducrot del Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Università di Palermo, e sono stati utilizzati per il rilievo, la vettoria- lizzazione, l’analisi e la modellazione tridimensionale. Sono stati elaborati modelli analogici, volti ad offrire una lettura grafica in grado di enucleare aspetti compositivi, e modelli con finalità descrittiva per visualizzare spazi e volumi. Parole chiave storia del disegno, ricostruzione congetturale, tecniche di rappresentazione. doi.org/10.3280/oa-548.90 1622 Introduzione Il progetto per il secondo concorso per il Parlamento del Regno d’Italia (1888-89) può essere considerato uno più importanti della produzione di Ernesto Basile e si inserisce nella produzione romana dei progetti di concorso per le nuove sedi istituzionali del giovane Re- gno d’Italia. Il “moderno classicismo” [Sessa 2002] che li caratterizza, è declinato, di volta in volta, in base ad esigenze linguistiche e funzionali.

  • Italian Art Nouveau Architecture
    MATEC Web of Conferences 5 3, 02004 (2016) DOI: 10.1051/matecconf/201653002 04 C Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2016 The Liberty Style - Italian Art Nouveau Architecture Vasilii Goriunov1,a 1St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, 2-Krasnoarmejskaja, 4, Saint-Petersburg, 190005, Russia Abstract. This article refers the architecture of Italy of the end of the 19- the beginning of the 20 centuries. It shoes the origin of the term “Italian Liberty architecture”, its main centers, its peculiarities and the buildings of its leading representatives. The assessment of importance of such studies provide the right understanding of the processes in European architecture of this time. 1 Introduction All historians of architecture know very well that the term Art Nouveau has a lot of synonyms, accepted by researches of different countries. Most of these terms do not reflect the essence of the things and they are used conditionally. The exception is the term “ Liberty Stile” although its origin also seems accidental like the origin of the majority of its synonyms. This term came from the name of the founder of British trading company which specialized on artworks from Japan and China. This was the reason for the fact that many researchers are not quite accurately called this company one of the conductors of Japanese influence on European art. This was true as long as the company was engaged in the export of the works of art only. Soon, however the company began to cooperate with young British artists of applied art who created company s own style, which brought it European s fame.

  • Uropean Exchanges and Cross-Pollination in the Era of Art
    MAIN ARTICLES E uropean Exchanges MAIN and Cross-pollination ARTICLES Maria Paola in the Era Maino Italy of Art Nouveau Burne Jones, detail of the mosaic decorations of the Anglican Church of St. Paul Within the Walls, Rome 1881 By the late 1800s, Italy had been a stop on the Grand Tour for over a century thanks to the vestiges of its past and the treasures of the Renaissance. After the publication of Goethe's Italian Journey in 1816-17 and John Ruskin's series of books on architecture, The Stones of Venice, the last of which was published in 1853, Italy became a legendary destination for artists, intellectuals, and the cream of the crop of international society. The era's greatest writers set their novels in Italy after having visited it - Edward Morgan Forster's A Room with a View stands out - while rich bibliophiles collected antique editions of the Divine Comedy, which they displayed in the so-called “Dante cabinets” of opulent mansions and the neo-Renaissance castles of Gino Coppedè (1866- 1927). During the second half of the 19th century, Pre-Raphaelite painters held sway. They adopted Dante and the Italian Middle Ages as an incomparable model of aesthetic beauty, the perfect union between the artist and the craftsman, which they set against the rampant indus- trialisation that was taking place in England. Their fame reached Italy through the magazine Emporium, founded in 1895, which dedicated monographic essays to each one of the Pre-Rapha- elite painters, although it should be said that a decade earlier Gabriele D'Annunzio already owned copies of their paintings, which were admired by the cosmopolitan elites who attended his par- ties.

  • Reading the Transformations of an Urban Edge: from Liberty Era Palermo to the City of Today
    Athens Journal of Architecture - Volume 5, Issue 3– Pages 263-282 Reading the Transformations of an Urban Edge: From Liberty Era Palermo to the City of Today By Vincenza Garofalo* To honour the battle of 27 May 1860, in 1910 the Palermo City Government decided to realise a commemorative monument. A position at the centre of a large circular plaza was of have afforded the monument a greater solemnity. The commission for the Monument was awarded to Ernesto Basile. In 1927 the City Government decided to dedicate the monument to the Fallen and asked Basile to complete the monument adding an architectural backdrop. The first version of the new project was a fence that enveloped the entire square and the ring road, interrupted only by entrances near the streets flowing into the square, and dividing it into four sectors. The final design instead called for the realisation of a semi-circular exedra of columns interrupted at the centre by a large gate that allows access to the square and to the back of the monument. The successive development of the city engulfed the square in the midst of tall and anonymous buildings realised, beginning in the 1960s, without any order of relations, stripping the surrounding fabric of its identity. Through the survey of the today’s configuration, the analysis of Basile’s original drawings and the representation of the modifications made over time, this text proposes an original reading of the configuration of Piazza Vittorio Veneto and the Monument to the Fallen, in relation to important moments in its history, from its design to the present day.

  • On Modern Architecture in Italy
    ON MODERN ARCHITECTURE IN ITALY Paolo Vincenzo GENOVESE pavic@163.com School of Architecture Tianjin University, China PDR. ABSTRACT he main goal of paper is to discuss the history of Modern Architecture in Italy, between T the beginning of the 20th Century and 1970. We intend to show the main character of Italian architecture by itself and give a context of the main trend of the European Modernism. To do this, we have to discuss the idea of “Modernity” and the relationships between Italy and other centres of creation in Europe in this age. The discussion is concentrated on the temporal sequence of different architects and a short description of the most significant masterpieces during the 20th Century in Italy. At the same time, we have the task to discuss other works, not very well-known, but represent the specific character of Italian architecture. The paper intends to demonstrate that Italian Modern architecture is a composite scenario of works influenced by the European trend but with its own specific character, especially through some anomalous artists who generated unique masterpieces without master and epigone. We have analyzed the architecture of the Eclecticism and Art Nouveau, the Futurism, Fascism and Rationalism, the age of the post-war reconstruction and re-design of the cities, the most important issues in this period. According to the poetics of “modernity” we have pointed out some general character that is useful to understand modern architecture in Italy: inventory of contents and functions, asymmetry and dissonance, anti-perspective tridimensionality, four- dimensional decomposition, projection and membrane structures, temporalized space, reintegration of building, town and territory.
