Timeline / Before 1800 to After 1930 / ITALY
Timeline / Before 1800 to After 1930 / ITALY Date Country Theme 1800 - 1814 Italy Cities And Urban Spaces In the Napoleonic age, monumental architecture is intended to celebrate the glory of the new regime. An example of that is the Foro Bonaparte, in the area around the Sforza’s Castle in Milan (a project by Giovanni Antonio Antolini). 1800s - 1850s Italy Travelling The “Grand Tour” falls out of vogue; it used to be a period of educational travel, popular among the European aristocrats in the 17th and 18th centuries. Its primary destination was Italy. In the second half of the 19th century, vanguard artists no longer looked at Roman antiquities and Renaissance for inspiration. 1807 - 1837 Italy Cities And Urban Spaces In Milan, Luigi Cagnola completes the construction of the Arch of Peace, started during the Napoleonic age and inspired by the Arc du Carrousel in Paris. The stunning architectures of the Napoleonic age use arches, obelisks and allegorical groups of Roman and French classical inspiration. 1809 Italy Music, Literature, Dance And Fashion Giacomo Leopardi (1798–1837), philosopher, scholar and one of the greatest Italian poets of all times, writes his first poem. 1815 - 1816 Italy Rediscovering The Past Antonio Canova, acting on behalf of Pope Pio VII, recovers from France several pieces of art belonging to the Papal States, which had been brought to Paris by Napoleon, including the Villa Borghese’s archaeological collection. 1815 - 1860 Italy Political Context Italian “Risorgimento” (movement for national unification). 1815 Italy Political Context The Congress of Vienna decides the restoration of pre-Napoleonic monarchies: Kingdom of Sardinia (Piedmont, Genoa, Sardinia); Kingdom of Two Sicilies (Southern Italy and Sicily), the Papal States (part of Central Italy), Grand Duchy of Tuscany and other smaller states. -

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. -
Villa Florio from Favignana Island: Architectonic and Functonal History
Review of Historical Geography and Toponomastics, vol. VII, no. 13-14, 2012, pp. 89-112 VILLA FLORIO FROM FAVIGNANA ISLAND: ARCHITECTONIC AND FUNCTONAL HISTORY Grazia VECCHIO* * Doctor in Philosophy of Geography and Lecturer, University of Catania, Faculty of Literature and Philosophy, Department of Humanistic Sciences, Monastero dei Benedettini, No. 32, 95124, Catania, Italy email: [email protected] Abstract: Villa Florio from Favignana island: architectonic and functional history. The far Sicilian West which, besides the Egadi islands, includes the area between Marsala and Trapani is characterized by a specific landscape and socio-economic unity. In this context, the island of Favignana may be considered as the last vertex of a hypothetical economic-industrial triangle (Palermo – Marsala/Trapani – Favignana) characterized by a whole series of activities referable to the bourgeois house of Florio, one of the most powerful in Sicily from the second half of 19th century to the first decades of 20th. In the area under examination it is in Favignana that, after having bought the Egadi in 1874, they had Villa Florio built by G. Damiani Almeyda. At the same time this was intended to be an official country house and link with their tuna fisheries which were then the first industry in the Mediterranean and now significant testimony of industrial archaeology. Starting from the architectonic and functional history of the Villa and tuna fisheries and passing to an analysis which through the Florio family events, connected to those of some great English entrepreneurs, outlines their ascent and decline, in this paper we aim at reconstructing the interconnection between the Florio enterprises and the history of the aforesaid territory in relation to that of Sicily. -

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.
