  • Antiquities Were One of the Most Important Elements of the Collection That Mr
    DATE: March 12, 2007 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE COLLECTIONS ART FROM THE ANCIENT WORLD IS INSTALLED BY THEME IN RENOVATED GALLERIES AT THE GETTY VILLA LOS ANGELES—The J. Paul Getty Museum’s permanent collection of Greek, Roman, and Etruscan antiquities will be installed at the Getty Villa in galleries that are now organized by theme for easier accessibility. These groupings of objects will shed light on different aspects of life in the ancient world: from sports to religion, family, war, theater, and more. This approach enables visitors to easily view the artworks in the context of their use in classical societies, encouraging a deeper understanding of the period. Over 1,200 objects will be on view, out of approximately 44,000 in the Getty’s antiquities collection. The works will be presented in 23 galleries, with an additional six galleries devoted to changing and loan exhibitions that will allow for the presentation of focused shows, often featuring materials on loan from other institutions. These exhibitions may also incorporate works from the special collections of the Research Library at the Getty Research Institute (GRI) and reflect the scholarly activities of the Museum, the GRI, and the Getty Conservation Institute. Other highlights of the Museum include the Family Forum, a hands-on space for families filled with fun activities that encourage shared learning and discovery; and -more- Page 2 the TimeScape Room, a permanent installation that explores time, place, and artistic style in the ancient Mediterranean through interactive exhibits. FLOOR 1 GALLERIES Terracotta and Marble Vessels Ancient artisans shaped terracotta and marble to imitate the shapes and decorative schemes of vessels fashioned from metal, including precious gold, silver, and bronze.

  • Anatomies of Spanish Settlers in Malta Between 1580 and 1648: Their Family Stories Simon Mercieca [email protected]
    Anatomies of Spanish Settlers in Malta between 1580 and 1648: Their Family Stories Simon Mercieca [email protected] Abstract: This paper will attempt to reconstruct the different identity kits of Spanish settlers in Malta between 1580 and 1648. The analysis shall use the Status Liberi documentation which is a series of Ecclesiastical Acts recording the assessment of foreigners by an ecclesiastical judge of those outsiders who wished to get married in Malta. This procedure was undertaken to verify whether the candidate was single or not, the former being and remains a sine qua non for marriage. The surviving documents recount the lives of these settlers before taking up permanent residence in Malta and highlight the reason behind their decision to settle down in Malta. The most fascinating aspect of these documents is that these stories are recounted by the protagonists themselves. They give insight to issues of identity and shared memory among the Spanish settlers. In the majority, they were simple folk without any pretensions or extraordinary expectations. Were it not for such a prerequisite their life histories would have been lost forever. Keywords: Malta, Spaniards, Status Liberi, marriage, seafaring, identity The Research Methodology n the following analysis I will attempt the reconstruction of what one might term to have been a ‘Spanish’ identity in Malta at a time Iwhen Europe was passing through widespread political turmoil as a result of the Wars of Religion. My historical-critical interpretation of this past migratory experience will be based on the patchy survival of court Symposia Melitensia Number 11 (2015) SYMPOSIA MELITENSIA NUMBER 11 (2015) records.

A port is a facility for receiving ships and transferring cargo. They are usually situated at the edge of an ocean, sea, river, or lake. Ports often have cargo- handling equipment such as cranes (operated by longshoremen) and forklifts for use in loading/unloading of ships, which may be provided by private interests or public bodies. Often, canneries or other processing facilities will be located near by. Harbour pilots and tugboats are often used to maneuver large ships in tight quarters as they approach and leave the docks. Ports which handle international traffic have customs facilities. (Source: Wikipedia) The terms "port" and " seaport " are used for ports that handle ocean-going vessels, and "river port" is used for facilities that handle river traffic, such as 2 barges and other shallow draft vessels. Some ports on a lake, river, or canal have access to a sea or ocean, and are sometimes called "inland ports".

  • Urban Form, Public Life and Social Capital - a Case Study of How the Concepts Are Related in Calabria, Italy
    EXAMENSARBETE INOM SAMHÄLLSBYGGNAD, AVANCERAD NIVÅ, 30 HP STOCKHOLM, SVERIGE 2019 Urban form, public life and social capital - a case study of how the concepts are related in Calabria, Italy SOFIA HULDT KTH SKOLAN FÖR ARKITEKTUR OCH SAMHÄLLSBYGGNAD Abstract The aim of this thesis is to investigate the urban structure of two Italian towns based upon physical structure and social function. The towns are Bova and Bova Marina in the ancient Greek part of Calabria, Area Grecanica. This is done by answering the research questions about how the urban structures are and what preconditions there are for public life and in extension social capital. This is also compared to the discourse in research about Calabria as a region lacking behind as well as the Greek cultural heritage. The thesis was conducted during one semester spent in the area and based upon qualitative research in form of observations of the towns, mapping, textual analysis and interviews. The results showed that the urban form of the two towns differ from each other because of their history and their localisation. Bova is an ancient town in the mountains that is separated through topography, and therefore conserved with many old structures but few inhabitants, suffering from out-migration. Bova Marina is placed on the coast of the Ionic Sea, south of Bova and connected to the region by train and roads, while Bova is mainly connected to Bova Marina. Bova Marina was founded as a town in late 19th century and expanded a lot because of the railroad. It is a town with inconsistent walking network, a lot of traffic and houses in bad condition.

Cover design by Jeff Belizaire About this book This is one part of the first comprehensive study of the development of Greek sculpture and painting with the aim of enriching the usual stylistic-sociological approaches through a serious, disciplined consideration of the basic Greek scientific orientation to the world. This world view, known as the Four Elements Theory, came to specific formulation at the same time as the perfected contrapposto of Polykleitos and a concern with the four root colors in painting (Polygnotos). All these factors are found to be intimately intertwined, for, at this stage of human culture, the spheres of science and art were not so drastically differentiated as in our era. The world of the four elements involved the concepts of polarity and complementarism at every level.
