  • Carta Dei Servizi Del Museo Pinacoteca Accademia Carrara
    CARTA DEI SERVIZI DEL MUSEO PINACOTECA ACCADEMIA CARRARA PREMESSA La Carta dei servizi, costituisce lo strumento attraverso cui il Museo comunica con i suoi visitatori e si confronta con essi. Essa individua i servizi che la Fondazione s’impegna a erogare sulla base del Regolamento del Museo, delle norme vigenti e nel rispetto delle esigenze e delle aspettative dei fruitori, la cui soddisfazione costituisce un obiettivo primario. La Carta della qualità dei servizi risponde dunque all’esigenza di fissare principi e regole nel rapporto tra chi eroga i servizi e i cittadini che ne usufruiscono. Essa costituisce un vero e proprio “patto” con i fruitori, uno strumento di comunicazione e di informazione che permette loro di conoscere i servizi offerti, le modalità e gli standard promessi, di verificare che gli impegni assunti siano rispettati, di esprimere le proprie valutazioni anche attraverso forme di reclamo. L’adozione della Carta dei servizi è una delle iniziative volte a promuovere una più ampia valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale conservato nella Pinacoteca Accademia Carrara e ad adeguare per quanto possibile, in armonia con le esigenze della tutela e della ricerca, l’organizzazione delle attività alle aspettative degli utenti. La Carta sarà aggiornata con cadenza biennale per consolidare i livelli di qualità raggiunti e registrare i cambiamenti positivi intervenuti attraverso la realizzazione di progetti di miglioramento, che possono scaturire anche dal monitoraggio periodico dell’opinione degli utenti. Tale aggiornamento, a cura della Direzione della Fondazione e previa approvazione del CDA, avverrà comunque in caso di: • Modifica della normativa sugli standard dei servizi museali; • Nuove esigenze di servizio; • Suggerimenti e osservazioni degli utenti riconosciute di particolare peso.

  • Press Release
    FRICK TO PRESENT FIRST MAJOR NORTH AMERICAN EXHIBITION ON RENAISSANCE PAINTER GIOVANNI BATTISTA MORONI MORONI: THE RICHES OF RENAISSANCE PORTRAITURE February 21 through June 2, 2019 In Renaissance Italy, one of the aims of portraiture was to make the absent seem present through naturalistic representation of the sitter. This notion—that art can capture an individual exactly as he or she appears—is exemplified in the work of Giovanni Battista Moroni. The artist spent his entire career in and around his native Bergamo, a region in Lombardy northeast of Milan, and left a corpus of portraits that far outnumbers those of his contemporaries who worked in major artistic centers, including Titian in Venice and Bronzino in Florence. Though Moroni never achieved their fame, he innovated the genre of portraiture in spectacular ways. This winter and spring, Giovanni Battista Moroni (b. 1520–24; d. 1579/80), Portrait of a Young Woman, ca. 1575, oil on canvas, private collection; photo: the Frick presents the first major exhibition in North Michael Bodycomb America devoted to his work, bringing together nearly two dozen of Moroni’s most arresting and best known portraits from international collections to explore the innovations and experiments that belie his masterful illusion of recording reality. They will be shown alongside a selection of complementary objects— Renaissance jewelry, textiles, arms and armor, and other luxury items—that exemplify the material and visual world that Moroni recorded, embellished, and transformed. Moroni: Moroni, Giovanni Gerolamo Grumelli, called The Man in Pink, dated 1560, oil on canvas, Fondazione Museo di Palazzo Moroni, Bergamo–Lucretia The Riches of Renaissance Portraiture was organized by Aimee Ng, Associate Curator, Moroni Collection; photo: Mauro Magliani 1 The Frick Collection; Simone Facchinetti, Researcher, Università del Salento, Lecce; and Arturo Galansino, Director General, Palazzo Strozzi, Florence.

  • Weekend Based in Bergamo, One of Italy's Loveliest
    Weekend based in Bergamo, one of Italy’s loveliest cities Three Donizetti operas included at Bergamo’s Teatro Donizetti Festival Visits to three private palaces & Bergamo’s first-rate picture gallery Private recitals at a villa north of Milan Comfortable four-star hotel close to the Teatro Donizetti in Lower Bergamo Bergamo Alto Bergamo, though small, is a most handsome city, divided into two districts, one in the plain and the other perched on a hilltop eminence, Basso and Alto. Situated at the eastern border of Lombardy, history has placed it in the centre of significant events, given it sits between Milan and Venice, the Po Plain and the Alps. Each November Bergamo hosts an annual celebration of the operas of Gaetano Donizetti (1797 – 1848), one of Italy’s most engaging and prolific operatic composers and a Bergamo native. He was a leading exponent of the Bel Canto tradition, as we shall discover during our three exciting opera evenings at Bergamo’s newly restored Teatro Donizetti. To mark the theatre’s reopening, two of the featured operas will be new productions of Marino Faliero and La Fille du Regiment while the festival will be inaugurated with a concert performance of Belisario, with Plácido Domingo in the title role. There is much to see in Bergamo, its wealth made possible by its position on the trade routes criss-crossing the north of the Italian peninsula, long-established since Roman times. It was also one of the most important early medieval Lombard ‘duchies’ and hosted a glittering court. Subsequent periods of civic independence and wider political allegiances are reflected in some lovely late medieval and renaissance churches, chapels and secular buildings, scattered throughout both the upper and lower parts of the city.

  • The History of Napoleon Buonaparte
    THE HISTORY OF NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE JOHN GIBSON LOCKHART CHAPTER I BIRTH AND PARENTAGE OF NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE—HIS EDUCATION AT BRIENNE AND AT PARIS—HIS CHARACTER AT THIS PERIOD—HIS POLITICAL PREDILECTIONS—HE ENTERS THE ARMY AS SECOND LIEUTENANT OF ARTILLERY—HIS FIRST MILITARY SERVICE IN CORSICA IN 1793. Napoleon Buonaparte was born at Ajaccio on the 15th of August, 1769. The family had been of some distinction, during the middle ages, in Italy; whence his branch of it removed to Corsica, in the troubled times of the Guelphs and Gibellines. They were always considered as belonging to the gentry of the island. Charles, the father of Napoleon, an advocate of considerable reputation, married his mother, Letitia Ramolini, a young woman eminent for beauty and for strength of mind, during the civil war— when the Corsicans, under Paoli, were struggling to avoid the domination of the French. The advocate had espoused the popular side in that contest, and his lovely and high-spirited wife used to attend him through the toils and dangers of his mountain campaigns. Upon the termination of the war, he would have exiled himself along with Paoli; but his relations dissuaded him from this step, and he was afterwards reconciled to the conquering party, and protected and patronised by the French governor of Corsica, the Count de Marbœuff. It is said that Letitia had attended mass on the morning of the 15th of August; and, being seized suddenly on her return, gave birth to the future hero of his age, on a temporary couch covered with tapestry, representing the heroes of the Iliad.

  • Quaderni Di Archivio Bergamasco
    SAGGI IL LAVORO DI RIORDINO E INVENTARIAZIONE DELLA SEZIONE MODERNA DELL’ARCHIVIO DELLA MISERICORDIA MAGGIORE DI BERGAMO Il 4 dicembre 2015 Archivio Bergamasco con la collaborazione e il sostegno della Fondazione MÎA ha organizzato nella Sala Locatelli della Domus Magna di via Arena in Bergamo Alta la giornata di studi avente per tema: Alla scoperta degli archivi della beneficenza a Bergamo tra Otto e Novecento. Le “nuove” carte della MÎA e della Congregazione di Carità. L’occasione dell’incontro è stata offerta dal recente lavoro di riordino e di inventariazione e successivo deposito in Archivio di Stato di Bergamo delle carte (registri e faldoni) della Sezione moder- na dell’archivio della Misericordia Maggiore. Queste carte, che sino al 2014 erano conservate presso la sede della MÎA in via Malj Tabajani 4, prima di essere depositate in Archivio di Stato ed essere così disponibili alla pubblica consultazione, per iniziativa della Fondazione sono state inventariate da Gianluca Perondi, Patrizia Talpo, Giulia Todeschini. I tre archivisti sono intervenuti come relatori nell’incontro del 4 dicembre 2015. Gianluca Perondi ha offerto un panorama aggiornato sulla attuale articolazione dell’immenso archivio della Misericordia Maggiore, che si compone di più sezioni, di serie conservate in luoghi diversi, di parti inventariate e di parti ancora in attesa di riordino e inventariazione. Giulia Todeschini e Patrizia Talpo hanno illustrato con alcuni casi esem- plari, tratti dalla documentazione d’archivio recentemente inventariata, le molte e varie possibilità di ricerca che le carte della MÎA, ora dispo- nibili, offrono al progresso della storiografia bergamasca. Nelle pagine che seguono si presentano le relazioni dei tre archivisti precedute da un profilo storico-istituzionale della Misericordia Maggiore, a cura di Giulio Orazio Bravi e Cesare Giampietro Fenili, membri del Comitato di redazione di questa rivista.
