La devoluzione di Ferrara al papa nel 1598 segna una cesura nella storia della città e dei suoi archivi: il fondo estense viene trasferito a Modena, lasciando nell’an- tica capitale un vuoto di documenti e di memorie. La biblioteca pubblica, fondata alla metà del Settecento per colmare quel vuoto, si trasforma nel principale istituto di concentrazione cittadino, con un ricco patrimonio di libri e raccolte di documenti. Nell’Ottocento, bibliotecari e archivisti sono tra i protagonisti della storiografia ferrarese, una produzione minore tutta vòlta a rievocare il fasto dei secoli estensi, nell’oblio più completo del periodo delle origini e della dominazione pontificia sulla città. The research outlines the history of the archives of Ferrara, over the centuries impoverished by losses and transfers of fonds to other cities. Ferrara’s devolution to the pope in 1598 marks a break in the history of the city and its archives: the Este archive was transferred to Modena, thereby depriving the ancient capital of its documents and memory.

    Music in Art XLII/1–2 (2017) THEATRE AS THE REPRESENTATIVE SCENE OF THE POWER OF COURT: THE FIFTEENTH- AND SIXTEENTH-CENTURY ITALIAN EXEMPLA STEFANIA MACIOCE Università degli Studi di Roma “La Sapienza” Starting from the second half of the fifteenth century, theatrical performance experiences a privileged moment in Ferrara when the Este family entrusted the humanist Pellegrino Prisciani with a cultural enter- prise aiming at recuperating classical texts and playwriting: the presentation of the Menaechmi by Plautus as well as other plays, marks the beginning of a coherent route.1 Festivals converge into theatrical represen- tations full of references to mythology and the use of musical interludes is born to sumptuously enrich the staging. The first aspect to underline is that the theatrical representation transfers itself from the public square to the reserved space of the court which, in this way, celebrates its dominant role from a cultural and political point of view. The fundamental theme of these stagings, according to the Renaissance demand, is a continuity with the ancient world and the myth of Rome, and the House d’Este makes itself the guarantor of this continuity, in particular from Borso d’Este to Ercole I; the authority of the classical world further consolidates the image of the court and of its power on the territory. In Ferrara of the 1400s the idea of the antiquity is operative, not only in the scribal practice of translation and adaptation of classical texts, but also as a hotbed of spectacular imagery.

  • A Look at Renaissance Ferrara Charles M. Rosenberg
    Nexus Esecutivo 19-01-2004 9:18 Seite 43 Charles M. In the Footsteps of the Prince: Rosenberg A Look at Renaissance Ferrara The history of Ferrara and its princes has left a clear and readable imprint on the city’s streets, palaces and churches. Written in their stones is the memory of what has gone before. Ferrara was the site of the Nexus 2000 conference on architecture and mathematics, 4-7 June 2000. Introduction As you approach Ferrara by train or car, traveling north from Bologna or south from Venice, you pass through vast fields of grain and vegetables, vineyards and fruit orchards. The landscape is remarkably flat but also richly productive and fertile. In the late spring you’ll be treated to fields of anemones and blizzards of cherry, pear, and apple blossoms. In the summer, you’ll see verdant vineyards and seas of crimson poppies and wildflowers lining the tracks and roadside. But if your visit to the city happens to be in the winter or very early spring and you arrive at twilight, you may see the landscape slowly dissolve before your eyes, as the countryside is gradually swallowed up in a dense, embracing fog. The journey to Ferrara takes you into the heartland of the broad flat alluvial plain of the Po river valley, the Val Padana. This snaking torrent, with its dozens of major and minor tributaries, saturates the soil from the rice fields of Lombardy to the farms of Emilia-Romagna, condemning the cities along its banks to winter nights of almost perpetual fog.

This study aims to identify raw materials and glass-working techniques through X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) quantitative chemical analyses and semi-quantitative Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) observations. The studied fragments were produced using siliceous-lime sands with natron as flux, and allowed us to better understand the production technologies in a historical period of great innovation for European glass art. The numerous findings of glass fragments discovered in brick underground cellars built for the specific purpose of household rubbish of wealthy complexes in Ferrara testify a consolidated system of separate discharge of solid waste into underground containers, which were closed and sealed once filled.

Meernik, Acting Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Cassella, Dean Marcel. Culture and self-representation in the Este court: Ercole Strozzi’s funeral elegy of Eleonora of Aragon, a text, translation, and commentary. Doctor of Philosophy (History), December 2010, 206 pp., references, 138 titles. This dissertation presents a previously unedited text by one of the most distinguished— yet neglected—Latin writers of the Italian Renaissance, Ercole Strozzi (1471–1508), a poet and administrator in the court of Ferrara. Under the Este Dukes, Ferrara became a major center of literary and artistic patronage. The Latin literary output of the court, however, has received insufficient scholarly scrutiny. The text is a verse funeral elegy of Eleonora of Aragon (1450–1493), the first Duchess of Ferrara. Eleonora was a remarkable woman whose talents and indefatigable efforts on behalf of her husband, her children, and her state, won her accolades both at home and abroad. She also served as a prototype for the remarkable careers of her two daughters, Isabella d’Este, and Beatrice d’Este, who are celebrated for their erudition and patronage of arts and letters.

  • "Mente Teatrale: Andrea Calmo and the Victory of the Performance Text in Cinquecento Commedia"
    Spring 1994 37 "Mente teatrale: Andrea Calmo and the Victory of the Performance Text in Cinquecento commedia" Paul C. Castagno The theatrical contributions of Andrea Calmo mark a crossroads in the development of cinquecento Italian comedy toward the gradual diminution of textual values in favor of the mise-en-scene.1 As a precursor to the actor-centered commedia dell'arte, Calmo innovated procedures that increased the range of performance choices for the actor, while placing new emphasis upon each component of the performance text. Unlike Calmo's predecessors and contemporaries, who considered the text as object to be of primary concern in performance, Calmo focused upon the subjective response of the spectator (audience reaction). In this sense, Calmo's aesthetic was similar to the spectator-orientated Mannerist painters of the cinquecento, whose frescoes of gestural frenzy and furious action mirrored the restive spirit of the times. Proceeding by trial and error, Calmo developed a way of thinking which considered the performance as an entire system, capable of adjusting itself to changing conditions. Calmo's pragmatic yet imaginative approach, deviated from the established litany of prescribed renaissance conventions, thus seeding the notion of mente teatrale (theatrical mind).2 Eventually, the resultant move from the tradition of humanae letterae to the mente teatrale culminated in the Golden Age of the commedia deIV arte, a period between 1575-1625, during which the itinerant compagnie achieved great success throughout the courts and cities of Europe. While many theatre historians consider the commedia dell'arte's commercial success and international appeal as giving birth to the modern professional theatre, it was Calmo who intitiated the thinking, functional response that made this phenomenon possible.3 Calmo realized the mente teatrale as a spatial metaphor which anticipated a priori the actualization of the performance text in space and time.
