  • Northern Italy: the Alps, Dolomites & Lombardy 2021
    YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® Northern Italy: The Alps, Dolomites & Lombardy 2021 Small Groups: 8-16 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. Northern Italy: The Alps, Dolomites & Lombardy itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: In my mind, nothing is more idyllic than the mountainous landscapes and rural villages of Alpine Europe. To immerse myself in their pastoral traditions and everyday life, I love to explore rural communities like Teglio, a small village nestled in the Valtellina Valley. You’ll see what I mean when you experience A Day in the Life of a small, family-run farm here where you’ll have the opportunity to meet the owner, walk the grounds, lend a hand with the daily farm chores, and share a traditional meal with your hosts in the farmhouse. You’ll also get a taste for some of the other crafts in the Valley when you visit a locally-owned goat cheese producer and a water-powered mill. But the most moving stories of all were the ones I heard directly from the local people I met. You’ll meet them, too, and hear their personal experiences during a conversation with two political refugeees at a local café in Milan to discuss the deeply divisive issue of immigration in Italy.

  • Public History, Private Memories: Historical Imagination in the New Italian Cinema 1988-1999
    NOTE This online version of the thesis has slightly different page formatting from the print version held in Griffith University Library. The content is otherwise exactly the same. Public History, Private Memories: Historical imagination in the New Italian cinema 1988-1999 Tiziana Ferrero-Regis 2003 Public History, Private Memories: Historical imagination in the New Italian cinema 1988-1999 Tiziana Ferrero-Regis B.A. (Honours) Film, Media and Cultural Studies, Griffith University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February, 2003 i Abstract The concern with the following arguments started during a study of national and international cinemas, from the desire to account for a cinema that internationally was doing well, but was undervalued domestically. The aims were to account for the renewal of Italian filmmaking from 1988, the New Italian cinema, and understand the conditions behind this renewal. The thesis identifies in the historical theme and in the recurrence of features from Italian cinema history elements of coherence with previous cinema production. The first consideration that emerges is that a triangulation between a new generation of filmmakers, their audience and recent history shaped the recovery of Italian cinema from 1988. A second consideration is that no discussion of Italian cinema can be separated from a discussion of that which it represents: Italian society and politics. This representation has not only addressed questions of identity for a cohort of spectators, but on occasions has captured the attention of the international audience. Thus the thesis follows a methodologic approach that positions the texts in relation to certain traditions in Italian filmmaking and to the context by taking into consideration also industrial factors and social and historical changes.

  • Download Thebiography of Franco Zeffirelli
    The Maestro Franco Zeffirelli “When they discovered him, Franco Zeffirelli was only a set and costume designer. In his early theatre projects, his sceneries and sketches were pictorial. “Parlons peinture”, as André Lohte’s famous title goes, could have been the definition of the historic and theoretical matrix of his creations. Fame came swiftly. The origins of his figurative style can be traced back to two factors: Tuscan “pictorial quality” – the history of Tuscany’s plastic values, design and colour – and the architecture courses he took in Florence. Colour and composition, both at the service of his profession and passion for theatre, and a visual landscape tied to representation and, taken from the opportunities encountered during his youth, oriented especially towards musical theatre, as well as architectural painting and drawing associated with the obligations, objectives, and impulses of musical theatre. I remember his early Rossini productions, “opportunities” to get a taste of the 1700s: there was always vivacity, a colouristic inspiration, a way to arrange the interior sets and landscapes that adhered to the inspiration and shades of painting, tackling the theatrical situations and comic characters. With a seasoned technique, the young Zeffirelli knew how to adapt and harmonize the art of “show” proportions and dimensions; he knew how to adapt them to the proportions and dimensions of opera. In his ability to manage the space, he needed the “perspective” that he learned from the Tuscan greats.” Gianandrea Gavazzeni To trace his life and cultural development, which defined his boundless artistic horizons and worldwide fame, one must begin with Florence, where Franco Zeffirelli was born on February 12, 1923.
