  • 8 Must-Dos in Beautiful Verona
    PLACES 8 MUST-DOS IN BEAUTIFUL VERONA This beautiful city, set by a river in the midst of vineyards is a worthy setting for Romeo and Juliet. Ironically, Shakespeare never visited Verona but fabricated sites such as Juliet’s balcony seem to attract tourists as much as the Romantic Arena. The Vinitaly wine show in the spring and Fiercavalli horse show in the autumn are two of Europe’s biggest events in these sectors. TAG Italy, Verona Photo: Shutterstock Arena di Verona This Roman amphitheater was built in the first century and is still in use, though artistic divas have replaced gladiators in battle. In ancient times, up to 30,000 spectators were seated (limited to 15,000 today) and the structure is considered one of the best-preserved of its kind. The natural acoustics are so good that no electronics were installed until 2011. You can tour the arena by day but the way to experience it is attending a summer evening performance – opera, ballet, concerts – when the audience waves twinkling lights and the atmosphere is magic. Piazza Bra Show on map arena.it Photo: Shutterstock Giardino Giusti This 16th century garden, only 10 minutes from the Arena di Verona, is a verdant sanctuary from the city. Deemed one of the loveliest Renaissance gardens in Europe it is divided into two sections – the formal Italian garden with statues and fountains, and the de-structured “woods” with stone grottoes, a labyrinth and a panoramic view. The palace of the Giusti can be visited at the same time. Giardino Giusti Via Giardino Giusti 2 Show on map palazzogiardinogiusti.it Photo: Shutterstock Piazza Erbe This square was originally Verona’s Roman forum and has been a center of city life for two millennia.

A generation of architects, working in partnership with the directors of museums, set about transforming into exhibition spaces a number of ancient monumental complexes located in the historic centres of some of the most important Italian cities. Among these was the brilliant and solitary Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa who re- vitalised the discipline of museography by sagaciously combining it with restoration. His lucid intervention at Verona’s Museo di Castel- vecchio is emblematic of this approach: the medieval castle, the museum of ancient art, and modern architecture all harmoniously coexisting in a monument located at the heart of a city designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The wise and far-sighted choice of Scarpa was owed to the then director of the museum, Licisco Magagnato, who tenaciously argued the case for the appointment of an architect specialising in this field to work on the city’s principal museum of ancient art. In his work on the Castelvecchio, carried out at a significant point in his career, Scarpa attained a remarkable balance between various aesthetic elements that is particularly evident in the sculpture gallery, where the renovations harmonise with the power of the 14th-century Distributors Veronese works exhibited in this section of the museum.

  • WORKS of ART in ITALY, Losses and Survival
    WORKS OF ART IN ITALY Losses and Survivals in the War PART I—SOUTH OF BOLOGNA COMPILED FROM WAR OFFICE REPORTS BY THE BRITISH COMMITTEE ON THE PRESERVATION AND RESTITUTION OF WORKS OF ART, ARCHIVES AND OTHER MATERIAL IN ENEMY HANDS LONDON HIS MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1945 PRICE Is. 6cl. NF.T FOREWORD SPEAKING of the 1talian situation in the House of Commons on the 24th May, 1944, the Prime Minister put into memorable words the anxieties shared by so many. "I lore is this beautiful country suffering the worst horrors of war, with the larger part- still in the cruel and vengeful grip of the Nazis, and with a hideous prospect of the red-hot rake of the battle-line being drawn from sea to sea right up the whole length of the peninsula". Since this ominous phrase was spoken the "red-hot rake" has ploughed its way northward from Cassino to a line just short of Bologna. The summary of information given here, which is based on the official reports issued by the Archaeological Adviser to the War Office, has been compiled to present some idea of what has been lost and what is safe. Many of the particulars here given have already appeared in the Press, but it is thought that many who are deeply concerned for the safety of Italian monuments may rind a compendium of this kind useful and to some extent reassuring. On July l0th, l943, the Allied forces landed in Sicily. The island was overrun in a little over a month, and on the whole the resultant damage was small.

There are idiots who define my work as abstract; yet what they call abstract is what is most realistic. What is real is not the appearance, but the idea, the essence of things. Constantin Br^ancu¸si Acknowledgements Ho deciso di scrivere i ringraziamenti per questo lavoro di tesi nella lingua italiana, perch´e per me rappresenta la lingua del cuore e poich´equesti ringraziamenti vogliono essere una certificazione di profonda gratitudine per quelle persone che mi hanno seguito in questo periodo della mia vita "dottorale", be' allora, ecco che il cuore fa spazio a qualunque altra regola istituzionale che avrebbe, forse, preteso che li scrivessi in inglese. Ma io pretendo il cuore nelle cose, e cos`ıvoglio che il cuore ne sia protagonista. Dunque, per cominciare, e come `emia abitudine fare nelle cose, vorrei chiarire il motivo di questi miei ringraziamenti, insomma, inizio con una questione filosofica: • la gratitudine implica una relazione per mezzo della quale alcuni hanno vissuto con me quelle faccende della vita che pi`umi hanno fatto tribolare, ma anche quelle pi`u felici, e di tutto questo compartecipare, io voglio essere grato.
