Antonio Paolucci. Il Laico Che Custodisce I Tesori Del Papa
Trimestrale Data 06-2015 NUOVA ANTOLOGIA Pagina 178/82 Foglio 1 / 3 Italiani ANTONIO PAOLUCCI IL LAICO CHE CUSTODISCE I TESORI DEL PAPA Non e cambiato. All’imbrunire di una bella giornata d’inverno l’ho intravisto vicino al Pantheon. Si soffermava, osservava, scrutava gente e monumenti, come per anni gli avevo visto fare a Firenze, tra Palazzo Vecchio e Santa Croce. Si muoveva in modo dinoccolato, ma estremamente elegante e con autorevolezza. A Firenze il popolino e i bottegai lo salutavano con rispetto e con calore. A Roma, una frotta di turisti cinesi, senza sapere chi sia, gli fa spazio per farlo passare e il tono delle voci si abbassa. Ha un tratto e uno stile che lo distingue dagli altri, che lo fa notare. Dopo aver vissuto per anni a Firenze, Antonio Paolucci ora abita a Roma, ma ci sta da fi orentino. Cioè pronto a tornare sulle rive dell’Arno il venerdì sera e a riprendere il «Frecciarossa» il lunedì mattina. Dal 2007 lavora per l’ultimo monarca assoluto al mondo, che lo ha chiamato a curare una delle più importanti collezioni d’arte esistenti. La Bolla pontifi cia, fi rmata da Benedetto XVI, lo ha nominato, infatti, direttore dei Musei Vaticani. Paolucci considera questo incarico un «riconoscimento alla carriera». Un percorso lungo e glorioso per chi continua a defi nirsi un «tecnico della tutela». Classe 1939, nato a Rimini, nel 1969, dopo aver studiato a Firenze e Bologna, vince il concorso come ispettore delle Belle Arti. Inizia alla Soprintendenza di Firenze, poi nel 1980 diviene soprintendente di Venezia, quindi di Verona e di Mantova. -

Medieval Music: Chant As Cure and Miracle Transcript
Medieval Music: Chant as Cure and Miracle Transcript Date: Thursday, 12 November 2015 - 1:00PM Location: St. Sepulchre Without Newgate 12 November 2015 Chant as Cure and Miracle Professor Christopher Page I begin with the life of a saint, a form of medieval writing that few read today outside the academy but which can nonetheless shed a great deal of light on many aspects of medieval life, thought and imagination. The one that concerns me here is a life of St. Bona of Pisa, written over seven hundred years ago. At one point, the author relates how some gifted singers, who are travelling together, enter a church and sing a chant for the purposes of offering their devotions but also no doubt for the pleasure of hearing their voices in a resonant space. According to the author I am following, they were so struck by the sound of their own voices fading into nothing in the vast spaces of the church – by the 'passing away' or transitus of their music – that they pondered the fading of all earthly things and decided to enter a monastery together. Perhaps they were thinking of the biblical text Wisdom 4,18: 'our time is as the flitting, the transitus, of a shadow'. There may indeed be something in the claim of the fifteenth-century composer and theorist, Adam of Fulda, that music is 'a philosophy, a true philosophy, a continuous meditation upon death'. It hath a dying fall. I imagine that most singers of the medieval Church, when they thought seriously about their task, accepted that theirs was the music of Mankind on the long march to Domesday: a trek that surely could not go on much longer as they looked back over their shoulders to the journey Humanity had made, since the time of our first parents, in the Garden of Eden. -

Jheronimus Bosch-His Sources
In the concluding review of his 1987 monograph on Jheronimus Bosch, Roger Marijnissen wrote: ‘In essays and studies on Bosch, too little attention has been paid to the people who Jheronimus Bosch: his Patrons and actually ordered paintings from him’. 1 And in L’ABCdaire de Jérôme Bosch , a French book published in 2001, the same author warned: ‘Ignoring the original destination and function his Public of a painting, one is bound to lose the right path. The function remains a basic element, and What we know and would like to know even the starting point of all research. In Bosch’s day, it was the main reason for a painting to exist’. 2 The third International Bosch Conference focuses precisely on this aspect, as we can read from the official announcement (’s-Hertogenbosch, September 2012): ‘New information Eric De Bruyn about the patrons of Bosch is of extraordinary importance, since such data will allow for a much better understanding of the original function of these paintings’. Gathering further information about the initial reception of Bosch’s works is indeed one of the urgent desiderata of Bosch research for the years to come. The objective of this introductory paper is to offer a state of affairs (up to September 2012) concerning the research on Bosch’s patronage and on the original function of his paintings. I will focus on those things that can be considered proven facts but I will also briefly mention what seem to be the most interesting hypotheses and signal a number of desiderata for future research. -
Musica Sanat Corpus Per Animam': Towar Tu Erstanding of the Use of Music
`Musica sanat corpus per animam': Towar tU erstanding of the Use of Music in Responseto Plague, 1350-1600 Christopher Brian Macklin Doctor of Philosophy University of York Department of Music Submitted March 2008 BEST COPY AVAILABLE Variable print quality 2 Abstract In recent decadesthe study of the relationship between the human species and other forms of life has ceased to be an exclusive concern of biologists and doctors and, as a result, has provided an increasingly valuable perspective on many aspectsof cultural and social history. Until now, however, these efforts have not extended to the field of music, and so the present study representsan initial attempt to understand the use of music in Werrn Europe's responseto epidemic plague from the beginning of the Black Death to the end of the sixteenth century. This involved an initial investigation of the description of sound in the earliest plague chronicles, and an identification of features of plague epidemics which had the potential to affect music-making (such as its geographical scope, recurrence of epidemics, and physical symptoms). The musical record from 1350-1600 was then examined for pieces which were conceivably written or performed during plague epidemics. While over sixty such pieces were found, only a small minority bore indications of specific liturgical use in time of plague. Rather, the majority of pieces (largely settings of the hymn Stella coeli extirpavit and of Italian laude whose diffusion was facilitated by the Franciscan order) hinted at a use of music in the everyday life of the laity which only occasionally resulted in the production of notated musical scores. -

Renaissance at the Vatican

Now, the Vatican is once again engaging with work by living artists and this year, for the fi rst time, it has a national pavilion at the Venice Biennale with commissioned works by the Italian multimedia collective Studio Azzurro, the Czech photographer Josef Koudelka and the American painter Lawrence Carroll. What do you say to these who think the Church should sell all of its treasures and give it to the poor? If it sold all its masterpieces, the poor would be poorer.
