More in detail, this work analyzes photographs of Florence’s medieval and Renaissance heritage by the Alinari Brothers atelier (1852- 1890), and then retraces these photographs’ relationship to contemporary visual culture – namely through representations of Florence in international cinema, art photography, and the guidebook – as well as to the city’s actual structure. Unlike previous scholarship, my research places the Alinari Brothers’ photographs in the context of the enigmatic processes of urban modernization that took place in Florence throughout the 19th century, changing its medieval structure into that of a modern city and the capital of newly unified Italy from 1865 to 1871. The Alinari photographs’ tension between the establishment of the myth of Florence as the cradle of the Renaissance and an uneasy attitude towards modernization, both cherished and feared, produced a multi-layered city portrait, which raises questions about crucial issues such as urban heritage preservation, mass tourism, (de)industrialization, social segregation, and real estate speculation.

  • SAIL Curricular Plan Colorado College
    ACM-SAIL Colorado College Curricular Plan Complete a curricular plan based on the template below. For teams whose members will develop separate curricular resources, each team member should submit an individual curricular plan. For teams who will jointly develop a curricular resource, the team may submit a single curricular plan. Summary Describe the curricular resource you/your team developed, including an overview of what teachers and students will do. Include a timetable for the course preparations and for the course. What sort of instructor’s guide do you plan to develop to accompany this resource (what guidelines will you provide for other faculty who use the resource you develop)? Title of the course: Italy and the Mediterranean: Earth, Sea, and Culture The international course examines the interrelationship between the occupants of the Italian Peninsula and the Peninsula’s distinctive landscape, geology, and ecology. It focuses on the influence of nature on how people lived in the ancient, Renaissance, and modern periods, and how people perceived and tried to manage nature. Sites for study include Rome and Florence, the Bay of Naples and Venice, with additional short visits to the Maremma in southern Tuscany, Pisa, and Orvieto. By examining three time periods that can be ‘read’ and retrieved from a common physiographic and urban setting (e.g. Rome, or Venice), the course seeks to provide the means for students to experience the scholarly excitement that derives from intellectual exploration, synthesis and integration, and thereby to instill a passion for interdisciplinary inquiry. The course syllabus, itinerary, and interdisciplinary objectives (included below) were prepared over the course of the SAIL: Mediterranean Trivium award period (2012-14) and the full course will be offered for the first time in the Summer of 2015.

  • 1 Santo Spirito in Florence: Brunelleschi, the Opera, the Quartiere and the Cantiere Submitted by Rocky Ruggiero to the Universi
    Santo Spirito in Florence: Brunelleschi, the Opera, the Quartiere and the Cantiere Submitted by Rocky Ruggiero to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Art History and Visual Culture In March 2017. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature)…………………………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract The church of Santo Spirito in Florence is universally accepted as one of the architectural works of Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1446). It is nevertheless surprising that contrary to such buildings as San Lorenzo or the Old Sacristy, the church has received relatively little scholarly attention. Most scholarship continues to rely upon the testimony of Brunelleschi’s earliest biographer, Antonio di Tuccio Manetti, to establish an administrative and artistic initiation date for the project in the middle of Brunelleschi’s career, around 1428. Through an exhaustive analysis of the biographer’s account, and subsequent comparison to the extant documentary evidence from the period, I have been able to establish that construction actually began at a considerably later date, around 1440. It is specifically during the two and half decades after Brunelleschi’s death in 1446 that very little is known about the proceedings of the project. A largely unpublished archival source which records the machinations of the Opera (works committee) of Santo Spirito from 1446-1461, sheds considerable light on the progress of construction during this period, as well as on the role of the Opera in the realization of the church.

  • Baccio Bandinelli E Il Primo Progetto Di Una Fontana Per Piazza Della Signoria
    “QUESTA OPERA ADDUNQUE TOLSE A LUI LA MORTE”. BACCIO BANDINELLI E IL PRIMO PROGETTO DI UNA FONTANA PER PIAZZA DELLA SIGNORIA di Francesco Vossilla A detta del Vasari, Baccio Bandinelli convinse il duca Cosimo ad affidargli la commissione di una fontana per l’esterno di Palazzo Vecchio solo grazie ad abili maneggi: “e fu tanto intorno al duca, che per mezzo della duchessa ottenne di farne un gigante, il quale dovesse mettersi in piazza sul canto dove era il lione; nel quale luogo si facesse una gran fonte che gittasse acqua, nel mezzo della quale fusse Nettunno sopra il suo carro tirato da cavagli marini”.1 In realtà, già negli anni Cinquanta del XVI secolo lo scultore non solo preparò il progetto di una fontana coronata da una gigantesca figura di Poseidone, ma venne a intercettare il desiderio di Cosimo de’ Medici di ornare la piazza ducale con una mostra d’acqua proprio nel luogo dove nel 1565 fu collocata la vasca, seppur realizzata da Bartolomeo Ammannati (fig. 1). In quel sito centralissimo, una fontana dedicata a Nettuno padrone del mare, dei fiumi e delle sorgenti diveniva paradigma di dominio per il Duca, visto che il monumento era il segno eclatante di una nuova rete idrica per Firenze. Cosimo avrebbe portato acqua salubre dove prima mancava e sarebbe apparso come un imperatore romano, vero signore del mare e del territorio. Per il Duca — che amava leggere Svetonio — l’opera evocava l’esempio di Ottaviano Augusto e soprattutto di Claudio che avevano potenziato gli acquedotti romani, mentre il Bandinelli pensava soprattutto all’impiego di un colosso sopra un dispendioso gioco idrico: invenzione che incarnava in corpo moderno il concetto pliniano dello “audaciae exemplum”.2 Grazie a questo progetto, gli edifici della piazza medioevale perdevano parte della loro austera imponenza nel confronto con un landmark fantasioso, dove la grandezza del colosso veniva animata dal provvido getto d’acqua, dono del governante ai fiorentini.
