  • Forms of Political Representation in Late Medieval Northern Italy Merits and Shortcomings of the City-State Paradigm (Late 14Th–Early 16Th Century)
    Chapter 3 Forms of Political Representation in Late Medieval Northern Italy Merits and Shortcomings of the City-State Paradigm (Late 14th–early 16th Century) Marco Gentile 1 Introduction The aim of this chapter is to provide a sketch of the varied patterns of political representation in the Lombard region at the end of the Middle Ages. More spe- cifically, this account will focus on the state or duchy of Milan, also known as the “Stato/ducato visconteo-sforzesco”. The interchangeability of these names is itself an indication of the fundamental ambiguity of the material constitu- tion of a political entity of this kind, which current historiography can choose to define either by focusing on the urban element (though Milan was not a capital city in the strict sense, nor a dominante like Venice or Florence) or by underscoring the role of the princely dynasty in power. In the late medieval Milanese duchy, there was no general representative in- stitution, such as a parliament, the German Landtage, the Cortes of Castile and Aragon, or the French provincial and general Estates. In their absence, at the centre we find bodies such as the ducal Privy Council, while at the peripheries we find the legal representative bodies of the subject cities and communities, the local councils, which were often hegemonized by semi-corporate factional groups. These different levels will be analysed here through the case studies of Parma, Piacenza and Alessandria. Until a few years ago, it was customary for historians to refer to the Mi- lanese duchy as a sum of city-states (or “a coordination of cities”) under a lord or a prince, who was a member of the Visconti, or from 1450 the Sforza dynasty.1 Over the last two decades, however, historians have begun to * I would like to thank Letizia Arcangeli, Giorgio Chittolini, Federico Del Tredici and Massimo Della Misericordia for their generous comments and suggestions on the first version of this paper.

Trasformati e modellati per quasi vent’anni, i due edifici e il giardino rispecchiano l’idea di sintesi immaginista delle arti che l’artista danese ha sempre perseguito: un luogo in cui pittura e scultura sono elementi fondanti l’architettura, in una perfetta coincidenza tra forma e contenuto. In 1957, shortly before founding in Cosio d’Arroscia the Situationist International, Asger Jorn bought two ruins surrounded by brambles above Albissola Marina with the intention of living there. Transformed and modeled for almost twenty years, the two buildings and the garden reflect the idea of imaginist synthesis of the arts that the Danish artist always pursued: a place where painting and sculpture are founding elements of the architecture, in a perfect harmony between from and content.

When La Biennale di Venezia Meets History does not just convey the content that visitors to the Central Pavilion in the Giardini della Biennale will encounter, but also a vision. Disquiet serves as a driving force behind research, which requires dialogue to verify its theories and needs history to absorb knowledge. This is what La Biennale does and will continue to do as it seeks to reinforce a methodology that creates even stronger bonds between its own disciplines. There are six Muses at the Biennale: Art, Architecture, Cinema, Theatre, Music and Dance, given a voice through the great events that fill Venice and the world every year. There are the places that serve as venues for all of La Biennale’s activities: the Giardini, the Arsenale, the Palazzo del Cinema and other cinemas on the Lido, the theatres, the city of Venice itself.

    Benvenuti a casa. The land we come from is our first home. Italy - and in particular our region, Apulia - is the source of inspiration that has always guided our choices and our success throughout the world. The colours of the sun and the olive trees, the hospitality and warmth of the people, the value of ancient traditions: these are the roots of our story and the foundations of our Italian heritage. A heritage that is authentically “Made in Italy”, which can be seen in our actions and our commitment to our customers: certified quality, direct control over the entire production chain and a code of ethics for our partners and suppliers. This is what we call the value chain. A chain of quality and passion for what we do, a voyage that has taken us all over the world but which starts here, in our land, every day. 3 Each model comes from “ our Style Centre, the group’s creative heart. The search for harmony is our mission and inspires every move we make.” A team of over 100 architects, designers, colourists and interior decorators work within the Natuzzi Style Centre. Every sofa, lamp, piece of furniture and accessory begins here. First come the shapes, the sizes and the proportions, then the colours and materials, selected only after carefully studying the latest trends in fashion, design 4 and customers’ needs. 6 The most emotional “moment is when the idea takes shape and what we had imagined finally unfolds before our eyes. ” It is the moment of truth in the prototypes area.

  • Angela Glajcar's Paper Installations – a Synthesis of Opposites
    Angela Glajcar’s Paper Installations – a Synthesis of Opposites by Andreas Beitin The paper installations by the sculptor Angela Glajcar represent an extraordinary position due to her innovative use of paper as a material, the works’ expansive scope and the resulting aesthetics. In her distinct way, Glajcar demonstrates that paper is not only light and fragile, but can also be very heavy and robust. With her works, she provides viewers with an immediate perception of these diametrically opposed characteristics of the material. As a sculptor, Angela Glajcar began by working with materials such as steel and wood (1997-001 intermittently until 2006-028). However, she has mainly used paper as her raw material for many years now, and has recently also begun to use glass fabric (2010-083, 2011-009). Paper as a material, which remains the material of choice for her installations, has a special meaning for her due to its ability to absorb the ambient light and accentuate its various hues. This is why Angela Glajcar predominantly uses white paper; she “has no need of coloured material.”1 The artist is fascinated by the presence a seemingly light material such as paper can have, when long sheets or great stacks of it dominate its environment. This is why working on-site is the most important part in the creation of her works. Her intuitive reaction to the space, its proportions and lighting conditions whilst negotiating the architectural volumes, and also the reaction to and the surmounting of any disruptive factors that may be present at the given location are decisive aspects during the creation of her installations.
