  • 5. Firenzefirenze
    5. FirenzeFirenze Neptunbrønden, Piazza della Signoria 75 Arkitektur og byggestilFirenze ved et palæ fra renæssancen I renæssancen blev der bygget mange herskabelige palæer i Toscana på grund af den rigdom, der opstod i de velhavende bankier- og købmandskredse. Lorenzo il Magnifico fremmede sågar bygge- riet heraf ved at tilbyde 40 års skattefrihed til dem, som byggede et palæ på en ubebygget grund. I perioden 1450-78 blev der i gennemsnit bygget et større palæ om året i Firenze. Renæssancepalæerne har flere arkitektoniske fællestræk: 1) Palæerne er ofte navngivet efter deres ejer/bygherre. 2) Facaderne er bygget af groft tilhuggede kvadersten (rustikamurværk), som giver bygningerne indtryk af styrke og stabilitet. 3) Bygningerne er normalt opført i tre etager, som er afgrænset tydeligt fra hinanden ved brug af forskellige firkantede sten (kvadersten). Stueetagen blev brugt til opbevaringsrum og værksted. Her er ofte et gitter foran vinduerne. Mellemetagen var det officielle modtagerum (piano nobile), mens den øverste etage blev brugt til selve beboelsen. 4) Øverst på bygningen er der et fremspringende fladtrykt tag, som rager et pænt stykke ud over muren (kransgesims med konsoller). 5) Indtil år 1500 var vinduerne ofte omkranset af en halvcirkelformet bue af et kileformet murværk (ex Palazzo Strozzi). Efter 1500 var buerne over vinduerne ofte formet som store trekanter (ex Bartolini- Salimbeni). 6) I palæets centrum findes der som regel en indergård med en over- dækket buegang (loggia) og en brønd i midten. Gården funge- rede som tilbagetrukket indgangsparti og var samtidig et sted, hvor man kunne opholde sig i svalende skygge om sommeren. Biforiumvinduer i P. Strozzi.

  • January 2019 P&F Newsletter LONG
    WELCOME This is the time of year for residents - the halls of galleries and museums are peaceful, making it the ideal moment to linger over attractions that are usually crowded with tourists. Winter is also the season to travel into the hills for skiing and thermal baths, and immersing in the fashion events that take over the city centre. Or if you’d prefer to hide from the cold, then bundle up, light the fire (or a few candles), pour a nice glass of Chianti and snuggle in under a warm blanket. Warmest best wishes for a 2019 filled with joy, laughter, and good health, from SUZANNE, CORSO, BEI, LESLIE, VANNI, ANNA PIA, RAFFAELLA, AND MARISA. PITCHER & FLACCOMIO PICKS FOR JANUARY BEST EVENT FOR JANUARY: LA BEFANA VISITS DURING THE EPIPHANY January 6 On January 6, La Befana arrives in Florence and this is Italy's traditional day of gift giving. In the Christian tradition the name "Befana" is a popular version of the Greek term “Epiphany", which was the festivity following Christmas commemorating the visit of the Magi. According to the legend the three wise men on their journey were stopped by an old woman with a broom who asked them where they were going. They told her that they were following a star that would lead them to a newborn baby, and invited her to come along. But she replied that she was busy sweeping and cleaning and did not go. When she realised her mistake, her regret was so great that she continues to wander about Italy and on the Epiphany (January 6, when the Wise Men finally found the baby Jesus), begins rewarding good children and disappointing those who were bad.

Bussels Specialisation: Early modern and medieval art Academic year: 2018-2019 Declaration: I hereby certify that this work has been written by me, and that it is not the product of plagiarism or any other form of academic misconduct. Signature: ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This thesis is the result of a long and intense process and it would not have been possible without the help and encouragement of a number of people. I would first like to thank my thesis advisor Dr. Edward Grasman. Thanks to his patience and guidance throughout this long process and the necessary steering in the right direction when I needed it, I can now finish this project. Secondly, I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Paul van den Akker and Drs. Irmgard Koningsbruggen. My love for Florence began during a school excursion led by these two great teachers, who showed us the secret and not so secret places of Florence, and most importantly, introduced me to the Palazzo Davanzati. Finally, I must express my profound gratitude to my parents and my sister for their love, unfailing belief and continuous encouragement in me during this process, and to my friends, family and roommates, who picked me up when I had fallen down and constantly reminded me that I was able to finish this process.

  • Renaissance Architecture, Civil Engineering and Design from Brunelleschi to Leonardo and Michelangelo Spring Semester 2017 Francesco Vossilla Ph.D
    Renaissance Architecture, Civil Engineering and Design from Brunelleschi to Leonardo and Michelangelo Spring Semester 2017 Francesco Vossilla Ph.D. Between the 14th and the 16th centuries, European humanists attempted to revive the culture, art and architecture of the ancient world. This new tendency encouraged a reassertion of individual and innovative achievements to begin again where the Roman Empire had left off. To help society over the cultural deficiency of the medieval era, Italian architects and designers proposed to study and even to copy the works of the ancients, so that their own modern projects would acquire some of the desirable ancient qualities. They were to abolish preordained explanations of reality and understand their fields on the basis of their own observations. At the same time they were willing to accept the doctrines of the ancients as truths more worthy than those their medieval fathers had perpetuated. In other words, a new type of architecture, design and civil engineering was born as the achievement-vocation of the independent architect: a witty man like Filippo Brunelleschi who was to marry new data with ancient wisdom and a novel technical awareness. This seminar on Renaissance Architecture, Civil Engineering and Design will introduce Gonzaga-in- Florence students to the interdependence of such applied fields to Florentine Humanism. To study the Renaissance City we will focus on architect and artists who shaped not only the outlook of the city of Florence but also the development of European Modernity: Brunelleschi, Alberti, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo. We will visit local building, churches and museums to promote sensitivity and active perception of Renaissance Architecture and Design in the original and historical cradle: Firenze.

  • Renaissance Florence – Instructor Andrea Ciccarelli T, W, Th 11:10-1:15PM (Time of Class May Change According to Museum/Sites Visit Times
    M234 Renaissance Florence – Instructor Andrea Ciccarelli T, W, Th 11:10-1:15PM (Time of class may change according to museum/sites visit times. Time changes will be sent via email but also announced in class the day before). This course is designed to explore the main aspects of Renaissance civilization, with a major emphasis on the artistic developments, in Florence (1300’s – 1500’s). We will focus on: • The passage from Gothic Architecture to the new style that recovers ancient classical forms (gives birth again = renaissance) through Brunelleschi’s and Alberti’s ideas • The development of mural and table painting from Giotto to Masaccio, and henceforth to Fra Angelico, Ghirlandaio, Botticelli and Raphael • Sculpture, mostly on Ghiberti, Donatello and Michelangelo. We will study and discuss, of course, other great Renaissance artists, in particular, for architecture: Michelozzo; for sculpture: Desiderio da Settignano, Cellini and Giambologna; for painting: Filippo Lippi, Andrea del Castagno, Filippino Lippi, Bronzino and Pontormo. For pedagogical matters as well as for time constraints, during museum and church/sites visits we will focus solely or mostly on artists and works inserted in the syllabus. Students are encouraged to visit the entire museums or sites, naturally. Some lessons will be part discussion of the reading/ visual assignments and part visits; others will be mostly visits (but there will be time for discussion and questions during and after visits). Because of their artistic variety and their chronological span, some of the sites require more than one visit. Due to the nature of the course, mostly taught in place, the active and careful participation of the students is highly required.

  • The Bellini Museum's Gallery
    The Bellini Museum’s Gallery: From Tradition to Present Time Using Digital Documentation FRANCESCA SOLINAS and LUCA ALBERGONI, University of Florence, Italy The Bellini family has been one of the most prestigious Florentine antique collectors since the 17th century to the present time. Their gallery is aimed to preserving the collections in the wake of the great Florentine Case Gallerie antiquarie (galleries and auction houses) that arose between the 19th and the 20th centuries and therefore witnesses the Florentine historical legacy. Located in Lungarno Soderini the museum overlooks Ponte alla Carraia. In modern times it has undergone various reworkings before adopting the current configuration through the work of the architect Adolfo Coppedé. The analysis of the building moves from a historical and cartographic research on archive sources and it relies on bibliographies. It has been articulated in two survey campaigns which involved the use of the photogrammetry and 3D Lasers Scanner. Following a specific request by Prof. Bellini, a subsequent campaign was furthermore carried out using a 360 degrees panoramic video-photography of the galleries on the two levels of the building. At a later stage, the collected data have been processed to obtain a three-dimensional texturized reconstruction of the main elevation and the point cloud of the entire building. This has been followed by the restitution of the high-resolution orthophoto of the façade and of the geometric survey of the structure, with the identification of its material characteristics and critical situations. In the final phase of the project hypotheses of intervention are proposed to respond to regulatory requirements, maintaining and enhancing the two current functions of the building: the contemporary art gallery and the antique gallery.
