What does it mean today to talk about spirituality? Where does spirituality fit into a world dominated by a digital and technological culture and an ultra-deterministic mentality? Is there still a spiritual dimension underpinning the demands of art? In order to reflect on these and other questions MAXXI, the National Museum of XXI Century Arts, is bringing together a number of leading figures from the contemporary art scene in the major group show on the spiritual matter of art, strongly supported by the President of the Fondazione MAXXI Giovanna Melandri and curated by Bartolomeo Pietromarchi (from 17 October 2019 to 8 March 2020). Main partner Enel, which for the period of the exhibition is supporting the initiative Enel Tuesdays with a special ticket price reduction every Tuesday. Sponsor Inwit. on the spiritual matter of art is a project that investigates the issue of the spiritual through the lens of contemporary art and, at the same time, that of the ancient history of Rome. In a layout offering diverse possible paths, the exhibition features the works of 19 artists, leading names on the international scene from very different backgrounds and cultures.

  • Ancient Cities: the Archaeology of Urban Life in the Ancient Near East, Egypt, Greece and Rome, Second Edition
    ART 2311: Art and Architecture in Rome Fall 2016 A Days (Mondays and Wednesdays), 11:30am-1:00pm Aula Magna (plus site visits on some Wednesday afternoons) COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course gives students the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the development of the city of Rome through a study of its art, architecture and urban transformation. It focuses on the major artistic and architectural movements occurring primarily in Italy (as well as their Greek antecedents) from roughly the 8th century BCE to the 20th century CE. In the study of each period we will strive to understand Rome’s artistic and architectural works within the contexts in which they were created. Our study of art, architecture and urban planning will therefore take into account the historical, political, social, religious and cultural contexts of the patrons, artists and viewers. Particular emphasis will be placed on ancient Greece and Rome, early Christianity, the Renaissance and the Baroque periods. We will also explore the reuse, borrowing and revival of ancient artistic and architectural themes in later periods. Instructor: Office Hours: Dr. Elizabeth Robinson Monday 4:00-6:00pm, or by appointment. [email protected] If you cannot make it to these office hours, Office: 560 please let me know and we can work out Office Phone: extension 560 another time to meet. REQUIRED TEXTS: (G) Gates, C.F.

    Riconvertire gli edifici storici. Il Complesso di San Michele a Ripa Grande a Roma e il Reale Albergo dei Poveri a Napoli1 Rosa Maria Giusto Università degli Studi di Firenze [email protected] RIASSUNTO: Il contributo affronta il tema del riuso del patrimonio architettonico pubblico attraverso due esperienze eloquenti tra loro in- timamente connesse riguardanti il Complesso monumentale di San Michele a Ripa Grande a Roma e il Reale Albergo dei Poveri a Napoli. Entrambe le strutture segnano, per mole e qualità del linguaggio adoperato, il tessuto urbano circostante costituendo esempi imponenti di quelle architetture dell’illuminismo pensate e progettate per assolvere a funzioni pubbliche e sociali. Le vicende evolutive del Complesso di San Michele a Ripa Grande presentano aspetti che possono indurci a guardare al caso romano come a un possibile modello di riferimento in tema di reusing di un edificio pubblico restituito nel tempo a una sua rinnovata funzione sociale e formativa, in grado di promuovere atti- vamente lo sviluppo del territorio urbano circostante. PAROLE CHIAVE: San Michele a Ripa Grande; Reale Albergo dei Poveri; Riconversione; Rigenerazione urbana; Edifici storici. Conversion of Historic Buildings. The Complex of San Michele a Ripa Grande in Rome and the Reale Albergo dei Poveri in Naples ABSTRACT: The paper is focused on the theme of the reuse of public architectural heritage through two eloquent experiences, intimately connected to each other, concerning the monumental Complex of San Michele a Ripa Grande in Rome and the Reale Albergo dei Poveri in Naples. Both structures, for their dimensions and architectural language, mark the surrounding urban fabric, forming powerful examples of the architecture of Enlightenment designed to fulfill public and social functions.

On one hand the violent disappearance of some controversial characters of the 20th century’s history (Yasser Arafat, Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gheddafi), on the other hand the resistences to the creation of new political models coming from transnational spontaneous participatory processes. Against the totalitarianism’s forms persisting which the economic powers pervasiveness finishes to consolidate, we assist to the democracies involution, to the national states decadence, to the inequalities and social conflicts’ growth. Nemanja Cvijanović theorizes a sort of global political tectonics, wondering about the dynamics which rule it and he does it with the determination and the strenght distinguish his research. Expressly provocative, the Progetto Anonimo’s first aim is to generate an open confrontation and a debate about our time. Bio Nemanja Cvijanović (1972 – Rijeka, Croazia where he lives and works).

  • El Tíber, Paisaje Milenario
    El Tíber, paisaje milenario María Margarita Segarra Lagunes*1 Del mismo modo que el viento modifica las dunas del desierto, depositando la arena que da forma a nuevos montículos, las condiciones geográficas y los eventos naturales determinan el curso de la historia, modelando territorios y consolidando vínculos y alianzas indisolubles y pluriseculares entre los hombres y el ambiente que los rodea. ¿Cuántas historias se han acumulado en un territorio? ¿Cuántas memorias se escon‑ den en un paisaje? ¿Cuántos recuerdos custodia el cauce de un río? ¿Cuántos hombres lo han navegado, atravesado y de él se ha beneficiado? Si observamos hoy el río Tíber desde lo alto de cualquier puente de Roma, o bien paseando a lo largo de sus márgenes, la impresión de vacío será inmediata: la de un lugar separado, no obstante su proximidad, del resto de la ciudad. Un lugar que afirma esa diso‑ ciación y es incapaz de entablar una relación con su entorno y de relatar una historia; un sitio sin pasado, sin presente que lo incorpore en la dinámica cotidiana de la ciudad y, por lo tanto, sin esperanza futura. Esta imagen congelada es el resultado de una acción del hombre: una acción tan radi‑ cal y tan drástica, que significó la total aniquilación de una simbiosis que, desde las épocas más remotas, la ciudad había instituido con su río. Los potentes muros que lo flanquean ratifican esa ruptura. Fueron realizados a partir de las últimas décadas del siglo XIX con el fin de eliminar las frecuentes inundaciones, * Dipartimento di Architettura – Università degli Studi Roma Tre.

Il Labirinto: tel. 348 5226337 - [email protected] - www.labirinto.info MUSEUM OF THE CATHEDRAL IN CHIUSI The Museum consists of a diversified path including expository sections, the Bishop’s Orchard, Porsenna’s Labyrinth and Saint Mustiola’s and Saint Catherine’s catacombs. The beginning of the museum were set in the Capitular rooms near the sacristy in 1932 by will of the Chapter and the diocesan bishop Mons. Giuseppe Conti with the intent to show the twenty-two choral books coming from the Monte Oliveto Maggiore Abbey and given to the Chiusi Cathedral by the bishop Giuseppe Pannilini in1810, along with various paintings, sacred vestments and liturgical furnishing of the Cathedral. Over time bad conditions for safety and good conservation of the diplayed works appeared in the rooms of the museum. So some spaces next to the Cathedral and the gallery over the colonnade linking S. Secondiano and the Bishop’s Palace, were found also considering the increase of the property: thanks to all things coming from the excavations in the presbyterial area of the Cathedral in the seventies. The restoration of the rooms and the setting of the Museum were realized with the financial aid of Cassa Rurale e Artigiana, now Banca Val di Chiana, Credito Cooperativo of Chiusi and Montepulciano. The new museum was opened on 20th October 1984. In 1992 four new rooms were opened on the first floor and inside them works from 14th to 20th century were set.
