  • The Effect of Art Music on Pompeo Coppini: Greatest Sculptor of Texas Monuments*
    Sociology Study, November 2016, Vol. 6, No. 11, 706‐712 D doi: 10.17265/2159‐5526/2016.11.004 DAVID PUBLISHING The Effect of Art Music on Pompeo Coppini: Greatest Sculptor of Texas Monuments* Valentino Belfiglioa Abstract Art music has the ability to communicate, entertain, and inspire other artists. Opera is a dramatic multimedia genre which fuses solo and choral singing with instrumental accompaniment, dance, staging, costumes, scenery, and libretto. This multimedia approach can inspire painters, sculptors, poets, writers, and other musicians in their works. Italian opera greatly inspired Pompeo Coppini—the Italian sculptor. In particular, scenes and arias by Verdi and Puccini correlate with specific tasks involved in the creation of a monument. In creating the Alamo cenotaph, Coppini often played Gioacchino Rossini’s opera, “William Tell” (1829) correlating the sacrifices made by Texans for their independence at the Alamo (1836) with the sacrifices made by Swiss patriots in their independence from Austrian tyranny. This case study suggests that art music can enhance creativity and visual attention among artists of all genres. Keywords Art music, opera, sculpture, inspiration The author stood in front of a bust portraiture of Gaius sculptor, Pompeo Coppini, the greatest sculptor of Julius Caesar (100-44 B.C.) during a visit to the Texas monuments.

Be1figlio "San Antonio ... the Venice of the Texas plains. " Mason Sutherland 1 This paper will explore tradition, change and intraethnic differences among Italian-American families whose ancestors settled in Bexar County, Texas, before 1920. After a historical overview, it will contrast immigrant and contemporary attitudes towards fertility, child-rearing patterns, sex­ ual behavior, friendships and memberships in clubs, and attitudes towards verbal arts, music, and sculpture. Finally, it will contrast the beliefs, technology, norms, values, and language (including nonverbal communica­ tion) of Italian immigrants and contemporary Italian-Americans. It is hoped that this study will lead to a better understanding of the Italian subculture in Bexar County, and the ways in which that subculture has been affected by the dominant, Southern Anglo-American culture.

  • March 2, 2020 Texas Historical Commission C/O Chairman John L
    March 2, 2020 Texas Historical Commission C/O Chairman John L. Nau, III PO Box 12275 Austin, Texas 78711 Dear Chairman Nau, I commend the Texas Historical Commission for delaying a decision to move the Alamo Cenotaph. During the 86th Texas Legislature, I joined with many of my colleagues, along with our constituents, in asking that the Alamo Cenotaph, as part of the Alamo Master Plan, not be dismantled or moved. Today, I write to the Texas Historical Commission to again ask you not to allow the Alamo Cenotaph to be moved from its current location. In 1936, The Texas Centennial Commission commissioned the Alamo Cenotaph under the theme the “Spirit of Sacrifice.” Begun in 1937, the Alamo Cenotaph has long stood commemoration for those Texians who gave the ultimate sacrifice and chose to defend the Alamo. Those who were killed during the Fall of the Alamo were not given the honor of a proper Christian burial, rather as retribution for their rebellion their bodies were burned in a funeral pyre. For over eighty years, the Alamo Cenotaph has served as an empty tomb and reminder to all the World of those brave Texians’s who refused to surrender. Their sacrifice was not only for the Alamo—it was for Independence from a radical and dictatorial federal government. Their sacrifice is deserving of honor. The monument memorializing their fight for Liberty should remain in the place their blood was shed. As Texans, we should never allow ourselves to forget the sacrifices made for a free and independent Texas. I urge the Texas Historical Commission to honor the Alamo Defenders’ sacrifice and not move the Alamo Cenotaph.

  • Capitol Hall Reports September 7, 2018
    September 7, 2018 Serving the counties of District 2: Fannin, Delta, Hunt, Hopkins, Rains, Rockwall, Kaufman, Van Zandt, and part of Dallas County Nothing stirs the hearts of a true Texan more than the battle cry, “Remember the Alamo!” The Alamo is the shrine of Texas independence and has been since the last shot rang out over the fort's walls in 1836. But over the years, the Alamo has suffered abuse from the elements, 19th-century construction, city encroachment, and half- hazard restoration projects. Countless generations of Texans remember their family pilgrimages to visit the Alamo. The coonskin hats, toy muskets and plastic Bowie knives purchased as souvenirs have fueled many a re-enactment of the battle that left no Texan in the battle alive. Designated as a Texas State Shrine, the site is both a place to reverence liberty and honor those men who sacrificed their lives against insurmountable odds in hope of buying time for the small Texan army to regroup. Not many Texans would disagree with the need to ensure that the Alamo is restored and preserved for future generations. In 2015 the Texas Legislature tasked the General Land Office (GLO) with formulating a plan to address the multitude of issues facing the Alamo. Regrettably, the GLO got off on the wrong foot by naming the restoration project “Re-imagine the Alamo.” During the planning process, many Texas citizens have raised concerns about the relocation of the Alamo Cenotaph, which lists the names of the Defenders, the relocation of the current free speech zone, removal of historic trees from Alamo Plaza and the controlling role the United Nations may have over the “re-imagining” as it is currently planned.
