I Palazzi Di Napoli E Dintorni – Parte Seconda
MARIO COLANGELO-Delegazione RAM di Benevento RICOSTRUZIONE DI UN PALAZZO NOBILIARE NAPOLETANO – II PARTE LE SCULTURE Per quanto riguarda l’apparato scultoreo dei singoli palazzi, le sculture dal XV al XVIII secolo non occupano in genere un ruolo preponderante all’interno delle varie dimore: l’esposizione delle stesse all’interno delle sale e delle gallerie non è diffusa o frequente, mentre sicuramente sono utilizzate in grande abbondanza come ornamento esterno, quale arricchimento di portali, terrazzi, nicchie aperte lungo i prospetti, balconi, cortili, giardini pensili, fontane, scale, ambulacri, corridoi, vestiboli e grotte manieristiche. Per quanto riguarda le sale vengono preferiti i bronzetti (sono giunti fino a noi, all’interno della Collezione Farnese e della Collezione De Ciccio, splendidi esemplari realizzati da Guglielmo Della Porta, Giambologna, Alessandro Vittoria e vari artisti del Cinquecento), mentre numerosi sono i marmi antichi. Questi ultimi vengono utilizzati come ornamenti dei giardini e dei cortili, ma talvolta sono inseriti anche nelle gallerie, quale simbolo del prestigio di chi li possiede. Maggiore attenzione è affidata all’apparato scultoreo delle cappelle private, provviste di sculture lignee e marmoree. Nelle dimore sono in attività i più grandi scultori operanti nel periodo di esecuzione dei vari palazzi: in epoca aragonese operano in città Francesco Laurana, Domenico Gagini, Antonio di Chellino, Paolo Romano, Andrea dell’Aquila, Isaia da Pisa, Paolo Taccone, Pietro da Milano, Pere Joan, Jacopo della Pila, Guido Mazzoni, Antonio e Bernardo Rossellino, Benedetto e Giuliano da Maiano, Tommaso e Giovan Tommaso Malvito, Pietro e Giovanni Alemanno e numerosi artisti della cerchia dei Della Robbia (di cui ci sono giunti alcuni esemplari in terracotta invetriata ospitati all’interno del Museo Gaetano Filangieri, della Collezione De Ciccio e del Museo Nazionale di San Martino, dove è esposto il tondo con il Busto virile laureato, proveniente dalla Villa di Poggioreale). -
Ceremonial Demarcations. the Viceregal Court As Space of Political Communication in the Spanish Monarchy (Valencia, Naples, and Mexico 1621–1635)
Ceremonial Demarcations. The Viceregal Court as Space of Political Communication in the Spanish Monarchy (Valencia, Naples, and Mexico 1621–1635) Christian Büschges In political and political-historical pamphlets of the Enlightenment and the nineteenth century as well as in traditional political history, ceremony has been seen as an embellishing, vain, and superfluous accessory of the ‘real’, rational, political acts that were regulated by legal norms and institutions. Modern historiography, on the other hand, taking into account sociological and ethnological approaches, emphasises the specific rationality and political nature of ceremony, which is, in turn, only a form of expressing the symbolic dimension inherent in every political communication and interaction.1 At the early-modern court the function of ceremony, which stood out from the spontaneous, individual, everyday acts, lay in making visible the system of monarchical rule and the social and political ranks inherent in it. Ceremony granted the courtiers a visible position in the oft-disputed curial ranking and at the same time fitted external visitors into this symbolic representation of hierarchy.2 Using the example of the court of Louis XIV of France, Norbert Elias, in his study on the ‘court society’ (Die höfische Gesellschaft), which sparked the revival of modern court research, considered ceremony as an exclusive instru- ment of power of monarchical absolutism.3 While Elias coined the image of the court as a ‘golden cage’ used by the absolutist ruler to domesticate the nobility, he also pointed out the ‘very specific network of interdependencies’ that connected the king as primus inter pares to the noble court society and 1 Barbara Stollberg-Rilinger, ‘Zeremoniell als politisches Verfahren. -

He summons a masked character named Pulcinella to rescue a buffalo calf called Sarchiopone from the forsaken palace. Together, man and beast, embark on a long journey through a lost and beautiful Italy, searching for something which may no longer exist. Shot on expired 16mm stock, Lost and Beautiful is a ravishing work that (after The Mouth of the Wolf) presaged the arrival of an extraordinary new filmmaker.

Art and Politics at the Neapolitan Court of Ferrante I, 1458-1494
ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: KING OF THE RENAISSANCE: ART AND POLITICS AT THE NEAPOLITAN COURT OF FERRANTE I, 1458-1494 Nicole Riesenberger, Doctor of Philosophy, 2016 Dissertation directed by: Professor Meredith J. Gill, Department of Art History and Archaeology In the second half of the fifteenth century, King Ferrante I of Naples (r. 1458-1494) dominated the political and cultural life of the Mediterranean world. His court was home to artists, writers, musicians, and ambassadors from England to Egypt and everywhere in between. Yet, despite its historical importance, Ferrante’s court has been neglected in the scholarship. This dissertation provides a long-overdue analysis of Ferrante’s artistic patronage and attempts to explicate the king’s specific role in the process of art production at the Neapolitan court, as well as the experiences of artists employed therein. By situating Ferrante and the material culture of his court within the broader discourse of Early Modern art history for the first time, my project broadens our understanding of the function of art in Early Modern Europe. I demonstrate that, contrary to traditional assumptions, King Ferrante was a sophisticated patron of the visual arts whose political circumstances and shifting alliances were the most influential factors contributing to his artistic patronage. Unlike his father, Alfonso the Magnanimous, whose court was dominated by artists and courtiers from Spain, France, and elsewhere, Ferrante differentiated himself as a truly Neapolitan king. Yet Ferrante’s court was by no means provincial. His residence, the Castel Nuovo in Naples, became the physical embodiment of his commercial and political network, revealing the accretion of local and foreign visual vocabularies that characterizes Neapolitan visual culture. -

A Scenographic Solution for a Neapolitan Bridge in the Beginning of Nineteenth Century
A scenographic solution for a Neapolitan bridge in the beginning of nineteenth century C. Ceraldi, V. Mormone and E.R. Ermolli University of Naples, Department of Construction and Mathematical Methods in Architecture, Naples, Italy M. Lippiello Second University of Naples, Department of Civil Engineering, Aversa, Italy V. Tempone Second University of Naples, Department of History of Architecture and Anthropic Environment, Aversa Italy ABSTRACT: Object of the present study is the masonry bridge, still standing, built for King Ferdinand I of Bourbon, in 1818, by the court scenographer and architect Antonio Niccolini, in the Villa Floridiana Park in Naples. The original drawing, plan and front view, of Niccolini’s design is kept in the Archive of the Saint Martin Museum in Naples. The bridge, made of Nea- politan tuff and bricks, with a single polycentric arch, spanning thirty metres, can be ascribed to the typology of lightened tympanum bridges, in which continuum masonry in the backfills is substituted by a system of vaults leaning upon the extrados of the underlying arch. The static behaviour of the bridge will be studied, basing upon a detailed survey and an accurate examina- tion of the historical sources, also employing the graphical methods known at the age of its re- alization. 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Antonio Niccolini, scenographer and architect Notices about the life and first education of the scenographer and architect Antonio Niccolini, born in Tuscany (at San Miniato in the district of Pisa), the 21 April 1772, can be deduced by his autobiography, “Memories of my life”, written in 1847, now kept in the Neapolitan National Library, Mancini (1964). -

Before its conquest and subsequent independence in that year, the kingdom of Naples had belonged to the Spanish king for more than two centuries until. 1707, when the viceroyalty was conquered and ruled by the Emperor. However, the city of Naples was still one of the most significant capitals of eighteenth-century Europe and the new kingdom wasa distinct political territory that was strategically important to both the Italian peninsula and the wider Mediterranean.
