Best Entertainment in Turin "Best Entertainment in Turin" Created by: Cityseeker 6 Locations Bookmarked Royal Theater of Turin "Tradition & Prestige" The idea of building the Teatro Regio Torino started in 1713 when the Duke of Savoy became the King of Piedmont, but they had to wait until 1738 before any work began. Designed by Filippo Juvarra, it was built by Benedetto Alfieri and opened to the public in 1749. A fire in 1936 and bombings during World War II destroyed the Regio, which was then rebuilt by Dario Crespi with a plan by the architect Carlo Molino and the engineer Marcello Zavelani-Rossi in 1966, and reopened in 1973. There is a large plaque on the ground at the entrance to the theater which has the dates 1740-1973 engraved in Roman numerals. The Baroque style is luxurious and perfectly suited to a theater which offers the most famous operas in the world. +39 011 881 5557 www.teatroregio.torino.it/ [email protected] Piazza Castello 215, Giardino en Reale, Turin Teatro Carignano "The Oldest Theater in Turin" The stage in this theater dates from the end of the eighteenth century, which lends it an enviable prestige, which is further enhanced by its extraordinary central position, dominating the whole of Piazza Carignano, one of the most elegant squares in Turin.

  • Presentazione
    Presentazione Con il secondo volume della collana Architettura e Potere. Lo Stato Sabaudo e la costruzione dell’immagine in una corte europea continua il progetto di ricerca – frutto della cooperazione della Bibliotheca Hertziana di Roma (Isti- tuto Max-Planck per la Storia dell’Arte), del Consorzio «La Venaria Reale» e del Politecnico di Torino (Dipartimento di Architettura e Design e Diparti- mento Interateneo di Scienze, Progetto e Politiche del Territorio) – orientato ad approfondire e specificare il ruolo degli architetti di corte dei Savoia nel- l’ottica delle relazioni internazionali, sia sotto l’aspetto biografico, sia negli in- terventi progettuali ex novo e di completamento su diverse scale a livello ur- banistico per i sovrani, per la nobiltà e il clero, anche in centri italiani e non. Il convegno sistematizza gli studi finora condotti e fornisce nuove letture della figura di Benedetto Alfieri e della sua opera di architetto in un contesto che vede operanti e intrecciate la tradizione tardobarocca e rococò e la rinno- vata attenzione al linguaggio classico. I saggi, presentati da studiosi di livello internazionale, permettono innanzitutto di inquadrare in un sistema più orga- nico i contributi e le ricerche sin qui svolte, ma anche di riflettere sull’effettivo profilo di Alfieri attivo tra Asti, Torino, Vercelli e Ginevra. Anche con questo volume si vuole sottolineare l’importanza della coopera- zione della comunità scientifica internazionale e confermare il lavoro delle istituzioni coinvolte, accresciuto dalla possibilità di ospitare i convegni nei luoghi degli eventi, permettendo il contatto diretto con le opere discusse nelle giornate di studi. L’auspicio che si rinnova è quello che le ricerche finora con- dotte possano incentivare un’apertura del mondo accademico e scientifico nel processo interdisciplinare di aggiornamento, sistematizzazione e avanzamento della ricerca.

  • EAHN 2014 TOUR T20 1 / 2 Re|Visiting Piedmontese Baroque
    EAHN 2014 TOUR T20 1 / 2 Re|Visiting Piedmontese Baroque Architecture In connection with the round table "Piedmontese Baroque Architecture Studies Fifty Years On", chaired by Susan Klaiber, the two tours draw on the conceptual and actual itineraries through Piedmont of scholars such as Brinckmann, Wittkower, Pommer, and others. Beginning with the Cro of Delights ecirclig Turi – the Savoy suburban residences – the buildings that made the critical fortune of Piedmontese Baroque dot the region surrounding the capital with impressive achievements by architects such as Ascanio Vitozzi, Carlo and Amedeo di Castellamonte, Michelangelo Garove, Filippo Juvarra, Bernardo Vittone, Benedetto Alfieri, down to Costanzo Michela and Francesco Gallo. These buildings range from rich churches and palaces, through parish or confraternity churches achieved with modest means to representative town halls or charitable hospitals. The works embody issues of patronage, design, and theory that intrigued scholars such as Brinckmann, Portoghesi, and Wittkower. Day 1. From the official to the vernacular: royal works and Guarinesque rarities. Our paragone between the central and the local in Piedmont's baroque architecture will fittingly start with an overview of Venaria Reale in the (early) morning, where we will be reminded of the large scale, overreaching ambition, and oscillating models of the royal works from the 1660s onwards. Driving towards Aglié and the once-again rural region of the Canavese, we will be confronted with what is apparently the opposite. Our first visit will be in Santa Marta: a "Guarinesque rarity" (Pommer), and ideal introduction to the small-town patronage and institutions that will accompany us also in Strambino (parish church by Rana), Foglizzo, and Montanaro ("Guarinesque" church, 17th c.; town hall and tower, Vittone).

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract Wharton’s cultural relationship to Germany has so far remained neglected. The vastness of her reading in this subject is well documented and mentioned in various critical works, but the subtle and creative use she makes of her readings of German authors has so far been largely overlooked. Moreover, there are interpretatively revealing affinities between Wharton’s work and the German novel tradition. This thesis is, then, less a study in demonstrable influence than in creative overlap. By far the most important German influence on Wharton’s life and work is Goethe’s. Her great admiration for Goethe is evident from the numerous references to his works recurring in her fiction and letters throughout her life.

Il nuovo Regio Teatro si apriva nell'anno 1740, in sostituzione di un altro fatto costrurre da Carlo Emanuele II con ordine di palchi che si diceva bellissimo (I). I Principi di Savoia mostravano una certa predilezione per gli spettacoli teatrali; ricordiamo che anche il salone del Palazzo di Piazza Castello (Palazzo Madama) servì da teatro di (I) Il Paroletti (Turin et ses curiosités) dice, parlando di Carlo Emanuele II: «Ce duc, qui aimait les arts, avait fait construire une salle de spectacle dans son palais bâtî sur les dessins de Vittozzi: salle qui a été compté parmi les plus belles d'Europe et qui a été dévorée par les flammes un siècle après ».

ISSN 1797-0091 Konstanze Baron (Tübingen) Vittorio Alfieri – A Self-Made Classic of the Enlightenment In this paper, I would like to explore the classicism of Vittorio Alfieri (1749-1803). Alfieri was an aristocrat from Pied- mont whose writings helped to inspire the Italian Risorgimento, the movement leading to national unification in the 19th century.1 His oeuvre consists mainly of plays (both comedies and tragedies, though mainly the latter), yet he also engaged in political essay writing, satire, autobiographical prose and poetry. Alfieri is still an isolated and somewhat polarizing figure of the Italian canon, but he is an uncontested part of that canon – and has served as a central point of reference for Italian intellectuals ever since the French Revolution.2 Two aspects are noteworthy about Alfieri’s classicism.

  • St. Paul's Church and the Congregation of The
    ST. PAUL’S CHURCH AND THE CONGREGATION OF THE ORATORY IN ASTI St. Paul’s Church, with its solemn architecture and the majestic simplicity of its lines, is one of the many houses of worship that the Congregation of the Oratory has erected in Italy and other parts of the world. It was constructed according to the design of an Oratorian from Asti, Fr. Francesco Antonio Massirio, under the direction of the master builder Goggia. The church replaced a former house of worship for the Congregation, the old church of St. Paul, “facing south on the wide street that leads to the Porta di San Quirico”1, where the Fathers served until 1733, when the parish priest, Fr. Urbano Isnardi, left in order to fulfill his wish that the church be entrusted to them for the purpose of establishing their community headquarters there. Blessed on 21 February 1794, the new edifice was consecrated on 21 September of the following year by Bishop Pietro G. Arborio Gattinara. The solemn celebration was preceded by a series of spiritual exercises in dialogue, “perhaps the first in the Diocese”2, preached to the people by the bishop of Saint Jean de Morienne, Monsigneur Brichentou and his vicar general. Incisa writes, “The church is eight-sided and completely decorated. In addition to the high altar that is dedicated to St. Paul, there are three other altars: near the sanctuary on the Gospel side is an altar dedicated to St. Sebastian, then one dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary, and in the passageway leading to the sacristy there is an altar dedicated to St.
