    LORENZO DA PONTE: LEBEN UND WERK. Zusammengestellt von Wiebke Krohn und Johannes Schweitzer In: Hanak, Werner/Jüdisches Museum Wien (Hrsg.): Lorenzo Da Ponte. Aufbruch in die Neue Welt. (anlässlich der gleichnamigen Ausstellung im Jüdischen Museum Wien vom 22. März bis 17. September 2006) Ostfildern, 2006, pp. 177-186. LORENZO DA PONTE: LEBEN UND WERK 1749 Lorenzo Da Ponte wird als Emanuele Conegliano am 10. März in Ceneda (heute Vittorio Veneto) als ältester Sohn des Lederhändlers Geremia Conegliano und Rachele Pincherle geboren. Die Familie ist jüdisch und wohnt im dortigen Ghetto. 1763 Geremia Conegliano lässt sich, Emanuele und die beiden jüngeren Söhne Baruch und Anania am 29. August durch den Bischof von Ceneda, Mons. Lorenzo Da Ponte, christlich taufen. Die Familie erhält den Nachnamen des Taufpaten, der Vater den Vornamen Gasparo und die drei Brüder die Namen Lorenzo, Girolamo und Luigi. Der Vater – seit 1754 Witwer, Rachele starb wahrscheinlich an der Entbindung des dritten Sohnes – heiratet am 10. September die erst 18-jährige Orsola Pasqua Paietta. Aus dieser Ehe gehen drei Söhne und sieben Töchter hervor. Am 1. November treten Lorenzo und Girolamo mit der Unterstützung des Bischofs und der Pia Casa dei Catecumeni di Venezia – einer Einrichtung zur Konversion und Erziehung Andersgläubiger – in das Priesterseminar von Ceneda ein. Hier werden sie in Latein geschult und kommen dank der Lehrverpflichtung von Abbé Cagliari aus Altivole (Universität Padova) mit den großen italienischen Autoren Dante, Petrarca, Ariosto und Tasso in Berührung. Die lebenslange Freundschaft Lorenzos mit dem um zwei Jahre älteren Michele Colombo hat hier ihren Anfang. 1765 Lorenzo Da Ponte erhält die niederen Weihen.

    RAPID Ceirano & C., Welleyes, F.lli Ceirano, STAR Rapid, Matteo C. & C., Itala, Ceirano-Ansaldo, SPA, Junior, SCAT, S.A.Giovanni Ceirano: sono undici aziende, accomunate da due denominatori, sono tutte nate a Torino e sono tutte sorte per iniziativa di uno o dell'altro dei fratelli Ceirano. Addentrarsi nelle vite e nelle frenetiche attività dei quattro fratelli, distinguendo l'apporto di ciascuno, non è facile. I Ceirano sono una famiglia piemontese, originaria di Cuneo, composta da padre, madre e quattro fratelli: Giovanni Battista, nato nel 1860, Giovanni, nato nel 1865, Matteo, il viveur della famiglia, di cinque anni più giovane, ed Ernesto, nato dopo altri cinque anni. A questi si aggiunge in un secondo tempo il figlio di Giovanni che, con una certa mancanza di fantasia, è battezzato Giovanni e chiamato Ernesto. Come si vede, ci sono già i presupposti per una bella confusione, anche a prescindere dai rispettivi caratteri, che sicuramente devono essere stati piuttosto determinati, per non dire litigiosi e testardi, anche perché uno dopo l'altro si consacrano al medesimo mestiere: fondare aziende automobilistiche. Fondare, per poi andarsene, o fonderle con altre, o scioglierle, o rilevarle, in un caleidoscopio di società che vivacizzarono ed arricchirono molto il panorama industriale torinese ed italiano. Il primo a muoversi è naturalmente Giovanni Battista, il più anziano. Fonda la Ceirano & C. nel 1898 e la Welleyes nel 1899; quindi nel 1901, insieme a Matteo, la F.lli Ceirano, in corso Vittorio Emanuele 9. Liquidata questa nel 1903, nel 1904 trasforma la Ceirano & C. in STAR, Società Torinese Automobili Rapid, oggetto di questa breve indagine.

    Open Letter in Support of Amb. Bonnie Jenkins to Help Lead U.S. Efforts on Arms Control and International Security

    Open Letter in Support of Amb. Bonnie Jenkins to Help Lead U.S. Efforts on Arms Control and International Security June 21, 2021 As President Biden's Interim National Security Strategy notes: "Global dynamics have shifted. New crises demand our attention.” It is a "moment of accelerating global challenges — from the pandemic to the climate crisis to nuclear proliferation .…" This means that our nation has no time to lose when it comes to putting in place the leadership team in government that can harness America's diplomatic power, which is essential to advancing effective solutions to address the most difficult security and foreign policy challenges. As arms control, international security, and foreign policy experts with years of experience in and out of government, we believe President Joe Biden — or any president — needs a strong and experienced team in place to address issues of international security, particularly the difficult and urgent challenges posed by nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and the countries that possess them or that could develop them. Five months since inauguration day, the president’s nominee for one of the most important positions in this area — Amb. Bonnie Jenkins for Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security — has yet to be confirmed. Further delays of this nomination will hamper our nation’s ability to put its best diplomatic foot forward at a critical time. In the coming weeks and months, her leadership will be important to help the State Department and the White House:

  • BOZZETTO STYLE” the Renaissance Sculptor’S Handiwork*

    BOZZETTO STYLE” the Renaissance Sculptor’S Handiwork*

    “BOZZETTO STYLE” The Renaissance Sculptor’s Handiwork* Irving Lavin Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton NJ It takes most people much time and effort to become proficient at manipulating the tools of visual creation. But to execute in advance sketches, studies, plans for a work of art is not a necessary and inevitable part of the creative process. There is no evidence for such activity in the often astonishingly expert and sophisticated works of Paleolithic art, where images may be placed beside or on top of one another apparently at random, but certainly not as corrections, cancellations, or “improved” replacements. Although I am not aware of any general study of the subject, I venture to say that periods in which preliminary experimentation and planning were practiced were relatively rare in the history of art. While skillful execution requires prior practice and expertise, the creative act itself, springing from a more or less unselfconscious cultural and professional memory, might be quite autonomous and unpremeditated. A first affirmation of this hypothesis in the modern literature of art history occurred more than a century-and-a-half ago when one of the great French founding fathers of modern art history (especially the discipline of iconography), Adolphe Napoléon Didron, made a discovery that can be described, almost literally, as monumental. In the introduction to his publication — the first Greek-Byzantine treatise on painting, which he dedicated to his friend and enthusiastic fellow- medievalist, Victor Hugo — Didron gave a dramatic account of a moment of intellectual illumination that occurred during a pioneering exploratory visit to Greece in August and September 1839 for the purpose of studying the medieval fresco and mosaic decorations of the Byzantine churches.1 He had, he says, wondered at the uniformity and continuity of the Greek * This contribution is a much revised and expanded version of my original, brief sketch of the history of sculptors’ models, Irving Lavin, “Bozzetti and Modelli.
