  • Baroque Architecture

" iAulhor of " In the Heel of Italy WITH 109 ILLUSTRATIONS NEW YORK ; ' McBRIDE, NAST & COMPANY ^ y 1914 ,iMvMV NA (^Ay n^/i/j reserved) In all ages there have been some excellent workmen, and some excellent work done.—Walter Pater. PREFACE is commonly supposed that the purpose of a preface is to IT explain the scope of a book to those who do not read so far as the first page. There is a touch of cynicism in such an opinion which makes one loth to accept it, but I prefer to meet my troubles half way by stating at the outset what I have emphasized in my last chapter—that this book is not in any way an attempt to create a wholesale revival of Baroque Architecture in England. It is simply a history of a complex and neglected period, and has been prepared in the uncertain intervals of an architectural practice. The difficulty of the work has been increased by the fact that the subject has never been dealt with as a whole in any language previously. Gurlitt in his Geschichte des Barockstiles, published in 1887, covered a considerable part of the ground, but his work is very scarce and expensive. To students his volumes may be recommended for their numerous plans, but for details and general views they are less valuable. In recent years several fine mono- graphs have appeared dealing with Baroque buildings in specific districts, and very recently in a new international series the principal buildings of the period in Germany and Italy have been illustrated.

Aphasia is a highly disabling acquired language disorder generally caused by a left-lateralized brain damage. Even if traditional therapies have been shown to induce an adequate clinical improvement, a large percentage of patients are left with some degree of language impairments. Therefore, new approaches to common speech therapies are urgently needed in order to maximize the recovery from aphasia. The recent application of virtual reality (VR) to aphasia rehabilitation has already evidenced its usefulness in promoting a more pragmatically oriented treatment than conventional therapies (CT). In the present study, thirty- six chronic persons with aphasia (PWA) were randomly assigned to two groups.

Genoa had hosted the 1882 International Columbus Expo: a cluster of ephemeral pavilions was then erected on a vacant land, located between the City centre and the modern western expansions, that had to wait fifty more years to be fully built and get a complete urban appearance. The Expo designation was received with a mix of relief and frustration. An international exhibition has always been an important vehicle of promoting the image of a city in terms of attractiveness and efficiency; more than ever in the Eighties, when European cities were experimenting hard competition.

MAY 21 - OCTOBER 9. 2000 Washington, D.C. -The Triumph of the Baroque: Architecture in Europe 1600-1750. a major exhibition covering two centuries of European architectural history and exploring the triumphs of the most famous architects of the baroque era, will dominate two floors of the West Building at the National Gallery of Art, May 21 through October 9, 2000.

  • A Historical Outlook on the Italian Customs Policy by Antonio Nicali Edited and Updated by Giuseppe Favale
    Customs History A Historical Outlook on the Italian Customs Policy by Antonio Nicali Edited and updated by Giuseppe Favale INTRODUCTION From the pentecoste of the ancient Greeks, the first historically documented example of a general tax on goods in transit from and to the city of Athens, to the era of globalisation, characterised by the tremendous ease with which people, goods and ideas circulate: how many products have passed through the countless customs posts existing between empires, states, fiefs, cities, provinces, municipalities; how many caravans of merchants, how many precious treasures; how many checks made, how many taxes collected, in how many different coinages? The diwan of the ancient Arabs (hence the etymology of the Italian dogana - customs), the comfortable sofa on which public and private affairs were concluded after lengthy and inevitable negotiations, has turned into an office, warehouse, store, and a series of laboratories where professionals and technicians work with complex analysis instruments, using the most advanced technologies and procedures in the various sectors. Because, if we go back over the history of the customs post from its origins to the present day, it basically has been and is a meeting place of persons, peoples, civilisations and different interests; a place where many languages are spoken, many coins are circulating. A place where things that are exotic, extraordinary and different can be seen, touched, smelt and assessed for the first time. At first with curiosity, with suspicion but also with the desire to find out, to broaden horizons, to have new experiences and to open up wider prospects.
