    © 2018 Donata Panizza ALL RIGHTS RESERVED OVEREXPOSING FLORENCE: JOURNEYS THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHY, CINEMA, TOURISM, AND URBAN SPACE by DONATA PANIZZA A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Italian Written under the direction of Professor Rhiannon Noel Welch And approved by ________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey OCTOBER, 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Overexposing Florence: Journeys through Photography, Cinema, Tourism, and Urban Space by DONATA PANIZZA Dissertation Director Rhiannon Noel Welch This dissertation examines the many ways in which urban form and visual media interact in 19th-, 20th-, and 21st-centuries Florence. More in detail, this work analyzes photographs of Florence’s medieval and Renaissance heritage by the Alinari Brothers atelier (1852- 1890), and then retraces these photographs’ relationship to contemporary visual culture – namely through representations of Florence in international cinema, art photography, and the guidebook – as well as to the city’s actual structure. Unlike previous scholarship, my research places the Alinari Brothers’ photographs in the context of the enigmatic processes of urban modernization that took place in Florence throughout the 19th century, changing its medieval structure into that of a modern city and the capital of newly unified Italy from 1865 to 1871. The Alinari photographs’ tension between the establishment of the myth of Florence as the cradle of the Renaissance and an uneasy attitude towards modernization, both cherished and feared, produced a multi-layered city portrait, which raises questions about crucial issues such as urban heritage preservation, mass tourism, (de)industrialization, social segregation, and real estate speculation.

  • Giorgio Vasari and Mannerist Architecture: a Marriage of Beauty and Function in Urban Spaces
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, October 2016, Vol. 6, No. 10, 1159-1180 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2016.10.007 D DAVID PUBLISHING Giorgio Vasari and Mannerist Architecture: A Marriage of Beauty and Function in Urban Spaces Liana De Girolami Cheney SIELAE, Universidad de Coruña, Coruña, Spain The first part of this essay deals with Giorgio Vasari’s conception of architecture in sixteenth-century Italy, and the second part examines Vasari’s practical application of one of his constructions, the loggia (open gallery or arcade) or corridoio (corridor). The essay also discusses the merits of Vasari’s open gallery (loggia) as a vernacular architectural construct with egalitarian functions and Vasari’s principles of architecture (design, rule, order, and proportion) and beauty (delight and necessity) for the formulation of the theory of art in Mannerism, a sixteenth-century style of art. Keywords: mannerism, fine arts, loggia (open gallery), architectural principles, theory of art, design, beauty, necessity and functionality Chi non ha disegno e grande invenzione da sé, sarà sempre povero di grazia, di perfezione e di giudizio ne’ componimenti grandi d’architettura. [One that lacks design and great invention [in his art] will always have meager architectural constructions lacking beauty, perfection, and judgment.] —Giorgio Vasari Vite (1550/1568)1 Introduction The renowned Mannerist painter, architect, and writer of Florence, Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574, see Figure 1), considered architecture one of the most important aspects of the fine arts or the sister arts (architecture, painting, and sculpture).2 In the first Florentine publication of the Vite with La Torrentina in 1550, Vasari’s original title lists architecture before the other arts: Le vite de più eccellenti architetti, pittori, et scultori Italiani da Cimabue insino a’ tempi nostri.

  • January 2019 P&F Newsletter LONG
    WELCOME This is the time of year for residents - the halls of galleries and museums are peaceful, making it the ideal moment to linger over attractions that are usually crowded with tourists. Winter is also the season to travel into the hills for skiing and thermal baths, and immersing in the fashion events that take over the city centre. Or if you’d prefer to hide from the cold, then bundle up, light the fire (or a few candles), pour a nice glass of Chianti and snuggle in under a warm blanket. Warmest best wishes for a 2019 filled with joy, laughter, and good health, from SUZANNE, CORSO, BEI, LESLIE, VANNI, ANNA PIA, RAFFAELLA, AND MARISA. PITCHER & FLACCOMIO PICKS FOR JANUARY BEST EVENT FOR JANUARY: LA BEFANA VISITS DURING THE EPIPHANY January 6 On January 6, La Befana arrives in Florence and this is Italy's traditional day of gift giving. In the Christian tradition the name "Befana" is a popular version of the Greek term “Epiphany", which was the festivity following Christmas commemorating the visit of the Magi. According to the legend the three wise men on their journey were stopped by an old woman with a broom who asked them where they were going. They told her that they were following a star that would lead them to a newborn baby, and invited her to come along. But she replied that she was busy sweeping and cleaning and did not go. When she realised her mistake, her regret was so great that she continues to wander about Italy and on the Epiphany (January 6, when the Wise Men finally found the baby Jesus), begins rewarding good children and disappointing those who were bad.

    Maria Sframeli FIRENZE 1892-1895 immagini dell’antico centro scomparso Pagliai Polistampa RINGRAZIAMENTI Desidero innanzi tutto ricordare con estrema gratitudine Mina Gregori, che nel lontano 1976 mi indirizzò allo studio dell’antico centro di Firenze, devastato dall’ormai universalmente deprecata operazione urbanistica di fine Ottocento. Da quegli studi – mi preme rammentare gli importanti contributi di Annalisa Bricoli, Chiara Cecchi, Barbara Chelini, Laura Pag- notta, Pauline Pruneti – nacque l’idea del catalogo dei pezzi salvati dalle demolizioni e riuniti da Guido Carocci nel Museo di San Marco; idea rac- colta con entusiasmo da Alberto Bruschi, che si assunse l’onere della pub- blicazione del volume Il Centro di Firenze restituito. Affreschi e frammenti lapidei nel Museo di San Marco, Firenze, 1989, punto di riferimento essenziale e costante anche per questo volume. Oltre a loro, la mia riconoscenza va oggi ad Antonio Paolucci che, da soprintendente, ha voluto fosse il Polo Museale Fiorentino, depositario di questo importantissimo fondo fotografico a finanziare il volume, e insieme a lui Serena Padovani e Giovanni Lenza, componenti del Consiglio di Amministrazione. Sono debitrice a Marilena Tamassia, direttrice del Gabinetto Fotografico, per i suggerimenti e a Emanuele Barletti, che ha condiviso con me l’en- tusiasmo e la sollecita attenzione per queste inedite immagini di Firenze. Voglio ricordare inoltre due fotografi della Soprintendenza,Vittorio Ber- telli e Otello Ciuffi, che in anni ormai lontani riuscirono a trarre bellissi- me stampe da lastre in precarie condizioni conservative. La mia gratitudine va a tutto lo staff della casa editrice Polistampa di Mauro Pagliai, che ha capito, condiviso e risolto con la sua qualificata esperienza ogni difficoltà sorta in corso d’opera.

  • Piazza Della Repubblica E La Firenze Di Fine 800 a Cura Di: R
    Piazza della Repubblica e la Firenze di fine 800 a cura di: R. Martellacci e E. Pieri Percorsi per Turisti 1 La Piazza Quella che attualmente si presenta come una vasta e raffinata piazza di sapore europeo, con i suoi caffè e hotel esclusivi, è il risultato di una grandiosa operazione di distruzione e trasformazione dell'antico centro cittadino, attuata tra il 1885 e il 1895. Qui sorgevano infatti le vecchie case del Ghetto ebraico e le antiche vestigia della città romana e medievale, che aveva il suo centro nella animata piazza di Mercato Vecchio, sorta a sua volta sul luogo dell'antico Foro romano e circondata da un gomitolo di pittoreschi ed intricati vicoli dove si svolgeva la vita popolare. A partire dalla fine del XIX secolo tale immagine tradizionale e viva del cuore della città scompare definitivamente, lasciando il posto ad uno spazio rigorosamente progettato e modellato secondo criteri di eleganza e decoro dettati da interessi speculativi e maggiormente rispondenti alle ambizioni dell'emergente classe borghese. Veduta della piazza Vittorio Emanuele, 1938 ca. La fotografia inquadra il settore nord-ovest della piazza con il grande edificio porticato con l'arcone centrale e uno scorcio di palazzo Levi, dove sono situati i due storici caffè Paszkowski e Gilli. I numerosi tavolini visibili ai due lati della piazza (quelli sul lato sud sono del caffè Giubbe Rosse) testimoniano come questa sia divenuta un vero e proprio salotto all'aperto per fiorentini e turisti ( ASCFi, Festeggiamenti per la visita di Fuhrer a Firenze. 1938, b. 5576, n. 100 ) 2 Telemaco Signorini, La casa di Dante da Castiglione, acquaforte, 1880 ca.
