  • The Old Bridge in Italy

    The Old Bridge in Italy

    The Old Bridge in Italy The Old Bridge in Italy Manjula Raman Ponte Vecchio In Italy, there is a city named Florence. The Arno River runs through it. And the Ponte Vecchio stands over the Arno. What is the Ponte Vecchio? Well, its name means "Old Bridge" in Italian. And it is an old bridge. It was built in the 1300s! It was built to take the place of another bridge that had been there. That other bridge had been washed away in a flood. The Ponte Vecchio is easy to recognize. That's because of the shops built on it. These shops are on both sides of the bridge. They have windows with shutters. Parts of them stick out over the water! But so far, the shops and the bridge have stood the test of time. ReadWorks.org · © 2017 ReadWorks®, Inc. All rights reserved.

    Office of Press and Public Information Fourth Street and Constitution Av enue NW Washington, DC Phone: 202-842-6353 Fax: 202-789-3044 www.nga.gov/press Release Date: February 26, 2002 Passion for Art and Science Merge in "The Flowering of Florence: Botanical Art for the Medici" on View at the National Gallery of Art March 3 - May 27, 2002 Washington, DC -- The Medici family's passion for the arts and fascination with the natural sciences, from the 15th century to the end of the dynasty in the 18th century, is beautifully illustrated in The Flowering of Florence: Botanical Art for the Medici, at the National Gallery of Art's East Building, March 3 through May 27, 2002. Sixty-eight exquisite examples of botanical art, many never before shown in the United States, include paintings, works on vellum and paper, pietre dure (mosaics of semiprecious stones), manuscripts, printed books, and sumptuous textiles. The exhibition focuses on the work of three remarkable artists in Florence who dedicated themselves to depicting nature--Jacopo Ligozzi (1547-1626), Giovanna Garzoni (1600-1670), and Bartolomeo Bimbi (1648-1729). "The masterly technique of these remarkable artists, combined with freshness and originality of style, has had a lasting influence on the art of naturalistic painting," said Earl A. Powell III, director, National Gallery of Art. "We are indebted to the institutions and collectors, most based in Italy, who generously lent works of art to the exhibition." The Exhibition Early Nature Studies: The exhibition begins with an introductory section on nature studies from the late 1400s and early 1500s.

Raffa: Dante's Political Life Bibliotheca Dantesca, 3 (2020): 1-25 DANTE’S POLITICAL LIFE GUY P. RAFFA, The University of Texas at Austin The approach of the seven-hundredth anniversary of Dante’s death is a propi- tious time to recall the events that drove him from his native Florence and marked his life in various Italian cities before he found his final refuge in Ra- venna, where he died and was buried in 1321. Drawing on early chronicles and biographies, modern historical research and biographical criticism, and the poet’s own writings, I construct this narrative of “Dante’s Political Life” for the milestone commemoration of his death. The poet’s politically-motivated exile, this biographical essay shows, was destined to become one of the world’s most fortunate misfortunes. Keywords: Dante, Exile, Florence, Biography The proliferation of biographical and historical scholarship on Dante in recent years, after a relative paucity of such work through much of the twentieth century, prompted a welcome cluster of re- flections on this critical genre in a recent volume of Dante Studies.

    PRESS PACK 2021 ABOUT BORGO PIGNANO Borgo Pignano is set in the heart of a picturesque 750-acre organic estate in Tuscany, where Etruscans were the first settlers. The estate is a short drive from the medieval hilltop towns of Volterra and San Gimignano and is only 1 hour’s drive from Florence. Today, this sensitively restored and privately-owned Borgo offers warm hospitality in a tranquil setting at 500 metres above sea level, with some of the most commanding views in all of Tuscany. ACCOMMODATION Accommodation is spread over the estate and includes: • The 18th century Villa • The Hamlet • La Canonica (The Priest’s House) • Individual luxury villas NEW for 2021: Refurbished Villa La Fonte New Villa La Lavandaia THE VILLA Borgo Pignano’s main building is an 18th century noble house, surrounded by traditionally planted English gardens overlooking pristine landscapes of Tuscany that have changed little since Renaissance times. The Villa offers 14 elegant rooms and suites, some with original frescoes and all with en- suite white marble and travertine bathrooms. A grand stone staircase leads to the upper floors also accessible by an elevator. Rooms are furnished with exquisite antiques, original artworks, Italian linens and chandeliers. The main villa also features spacious common rooms that complete the country house atmosphere: the library, billiard room, ballroom and lounge offer a variety of environments where guests can relax. LA CANONICA Dating back to the 13th century, La Canonica can be used as one large three-bedroomed house or, independently, divided as two separate suites. La Canonica, the Priest’s house, is located next to the ancient church of San Bartolomeo and contains original features such as medieval stonework, archways, columns, vaulted ceilings, terracotta floors and restored medieval frescoes.
