The main interests for all of them are economic and geostrategic. 1890 Italy Music, Literature, Dance And Fashion The Cavalleria rusticana by Pietro Mascagni (1863–1945) has a great success, marking the beginning of verismo (Italian realism) in music, which intends to portray the world of peasants and the poor through strong and passionate drama.

  • Italian Art Nouveau Architecture
    MATEC Web of Conferences 5 3, 02004 (2016) DOI: 10.1051/matecconf/201653002 04 C Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2016 The Liberty Style - Italian Art Nouveau Architecture Vasilii Goriunov1,a 1St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, 2-Krasnoarmejskaja, 4, Saint-Petersburg, 190005, Russia Abstract. This article refers the architecture of Italy of the end of the 19- the beginning of the 20 centuries. It shoes the origin of the term “Italian Liberty architecture”, its main centers, its peculiarities and the buildings of its leading representatives. The assessment of importance of such studies provide the right understanding of the processes in European architecture of this time. 1 Introduction All historians of architecture know very well that the term Art Nouveau has a lot of synonyms, accepted by researches of different countries. Most of these terms do not reflect the essence of the things and they are used conditionally. The exception is the term “ Liberty Stile” although its origin also seems accidental like the origin of the majority of its synonyms. This term came from the name of the founder of British trading company which specialized on artworks from Japan and China. This was the reason for the fact that many researchers are not quite accurately called this company one of the conductors of Japanese influence on European art. This was true as long as the company was engaged in the export of the works of art only. Soon, however the company began to cooperate with young British artists of applied art who created company s own style, which brought it European s fame.

  • The Palermo Crucible
    chapter 1 The Palermo Crucible The Piazza Marina is situated behind a row of antique palazzi facing the gulf in Palermo’s historic center. In the middle is an acre of garden called the Villa Garibaldi, which is surrounded by a handsome Art Nouveau, wrought iron fence depicting animals of the hunt. A gigantic Ficus mag- noloides tree dominates one quadrant of the garden, each enormous branch sending shoots to the ground like elephants’ trunks, creating a labyrinth of arched chambers underneath. The Piazza Marina was the center of elegance in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Palermo. Here men and women of baronial and princely pedigree gathered nightly, clothes and carriages on display, to eat jasmine petal ices and gossip (Eberstadt 1991: 48). After the unification of Italy in 1860, how- ever, the city’s northward expansion diminished the importance of this luxurious scene, creating new piazzas and boulevards as places for the elite to be seen. That the Piazza Marina was the scene of the 1909 mur- der of New York City police officer Joe Petrosino, sent to Palermo to pursue mafiosi, did nothing to enhance its reputation. Near the end of World War II, Allied bombers destroyed many of the waterfront palazzi, and by the mid-1960s the Piazza Marina was some- where to avoid, a place where you had to step over garbage, be vigilant against pickpockets and purse snatchers, and wonder whether the mag- nolia tree, abandoned to the surrounding patch of weeds, hid something sinister in its gothic roots. In a 1991 New Yorker article describing the neighborhood around the piazza, Fernanda Eberstadt vividly captured 1 2 The Palermo Crucible its degraded yet vibrant quality: “a row of bombed out buildings inhab- ited by cavernous little bodegas outfitted with altars to the Madonna and posters of local football stars; and a fishmonger’s outdoor stall, auto re- pair shops, and a stand selling semenza (lentils and seeds) served in brown paper cones.” Her hosts warned her about being robbed on the streets.

  • Lisbon, What the Tourist Should See
    Fernando Pessoa Lisbon, what the tourist should see ... illustrated and geolocalized http://lisbon.pessoa.free.fr 1 of 48 What the Tourist Should See Over seven hills, which are as many points of observation whence the most magnificent panoramas may be enjoyed, the vast irregular and many-coloured mass of houses that constitute Lisbon is scattered. For the traveller who comes in from the sea, Lisbon, even from afar, rises like a fair vision in a dream, clear-cut against a bright blue sky which the sun gladdens with its gold. And the domes, the monuments, the old castles jut up above the mass of houses, like far-off heralds of this delightful seat, of this blessed region. The tourist's wonder begins when the ship approaches the bar, and, after passing the Bugio lighthouse 2 - that little guardian-tower at the mouth of the river built three centuries ago on the plan of Friar João Turriano -, the castled Tower of Belém 3 appears, a magnificent specimen of sixteenth century military architecture, in the romantic-gothic-moorish style (v. here ). As the ship moves forward, the river grows more narrow, soon to widen again, forming one of the largest natural harbours in the world with ample anchorage for the greatest of fleets. Then, on the left, the masses of houses cluster brightly over the hills. That is Lisbon . Landing is easy and quick enough ; it is effected at a point of the bank where means of transport abound. A carriage, a motor-car, or even a common electric trail, will carry the stranger in a few minutes right to the centre of the city.

  • 75Th Lisbon Book Fair
    Author: Marcos Cruz of marcosandmarjan Research Output 1: 75th Lisbon Book Fair Co-Author: Marjan Colletti Output Type: Design Building: Temporary Pavilion for the 75th Lisbon Book Fair Function: Temporary Auditorium, self-service café, information pavilion Location: Lisbon, Portugal Date: 2005 300 Word Summary The Pavilion of the 75th Lisbon Book Fair (2005), comprises the design and construction of a temporary pavilion for an auditorium (150 people), a self-service cafeteria, and a separate information pavilion. Questions (1) How to use the programme and site impositions to create a low-tech yet sophisticated and highly experiential public building? (2) How to utilize digital modelling and manufacturing technologies within an extremely tight budget and construction schedule? Aims/Objectives (1) To enhance the topographic and panoramic experience of the site through the building. The auditorium and cafeteria create an amphitheatre-like zone, thus exposing the auditorium’s cultural activities while at the same time appreciating the city view. (2) To maximize CAD and CAD/CAM technologies during the design process (six weeks) in order to build the 1,000m2 pavilion in the shortest time (four weeks). (3) To conceive a sustainable design in line with the temporary nature of the building. Contexts The building can be understood in the line of contemporary investigations in which highly innovative digital technologies in the design process are applied to extremely low-tech and cheap construction techniques (below ¤400,000), for example scaffolding with laser-cut mdf cladding. Methods The research involved the testing of various programmatic solutions and different site locations; extensive 3D computer modelling and visualizations and their application to a recyclable metal scaffolding and laser-cut MDF cladding.
