INTRODUCTION The Faculty of Art Florence Program (formerly the OCAD University Florence Off-Campus Studies Program) was established in 1974. Since then our campus in Florence has annually provided a rich and challenging cultural experience for both students and faculty at OCAD U. This European campus offers a facilitated, directed study approach to learning and is open each year to a limited number of students from all areas that have completed at least two years of study. While in Florence, students develop a body of work in a communal studio setting and study art history amidst a backdrop of architectural and artistic treasures from the Italian Renaissance. The studio component of Faculty of Art Florence Program is coordinated each year by different faculty members from our Toronto campus, while the history component is taught by our Florence resident expert on Italian art history. The Faculty of Art administers this program and facilitates students’ preparation for their studies abroad. The Faculty of Art Florence Program includes two different levels of learning: 300 level and 400 level. We began this publication in 1975/76; the program had been founded by Franklin (Archie) Arbuckle the previous year. Updates are completed each year by students and faculty. It would be appreciated if each one of you would write any new or different information into your books throughout the academic year in Florence. Your successors will be as grateful as you are now that this information is at your fingertips. We hope that it helps you to see the city of Florence as yours to discover, to experience, and to enjoy. 3 Emergency and Useful Telephone Numbers: Tel.

GETTING THINGS DONE When you arrive in Firenze, you will want to start getting organized, find an apartment (if you haven’t arranged one beforehand- but we recommend you attempt to find one as early in advance as possible) and orient yourself to shopping. There are some important differences in how things are done which will be useful and important to know. Generally, stores and offices are open in the mornings (8:30 am) until about noon or 1 pm, and re-open in the mid/late afternoon until early evening (4-7 pm). Some stores are closed Monday mornings. These hours are not always the same for different types of places and may change in different seasons. You will have the most success doing practical stuff if you get an early start on the day and knock-off at noon. Stores right in the tourist center will hold hours more similar to those we are used to in Toronto. Payphones and landlines in apartments are now rare in Florence. Plan on getting an Italian SIM card for your phone, or setting up an international plan with your Canadian service provider. For information about setting up your cell phone in Florence, see Services. Learn to read street addresses. The r after a street address usually denotes a business. When searching for an address on the street, look for a red number on the side of the building (if your address is listed as Via San Gallo 45r, for example). Residences will generally have a black or blue number. If you are looking for Via San Gallo 45, the address number will be written in black or blue on the side of the building. The red and black numbers do not match in sequence on the street (i.e. a black 40 may be a block away from a red 40). This applies only in Florence. Note that Google maps does not understand the distinction between red and black addresses. It will get you close, but you may have to do some searching nearby to find where you are going. Eating affordably will be a major concern until you get settled in your apartment. Be aware that buying in small corner shops is more expensive than the bigger grocery stores, and that buying in a café (things like bottled water) can be 4 or 5 6 times the cost. Some cafes charge extra if you sit down (rather than have your coffee standing at the bar). Prices in cafes are usually posted; sometimes you pay the cashier ahead of time. Always be prepared to pay in cash in cafes, bars and small shops. Check the “Food/Household” section of this handbook for less expensive suggestions. The studio has a refrigerator where you can temporarily keep food and drinks to cut down on cafe consumption. Legal Stuff: You MUST apply for a Permit to Stay (Permesso di Soggiorno) within 8 days of your arrival in Florence. The Class Assistant and/or Florence Coordinator will give you information on what the process entails and what paperwork and fees will be required. You may have to deal with two government-related applications. The first is to get an Italian Social Insurance number (Codice Fiscale). This may be required by the rental agency to complete your lease (only one of your group will need it). It is an easy process which involves going to a government office (Agenzie delle Entrate) in Via Santa Caterina d’Alessandria. Other reasons you may need one include certain registered purchases, such as getting an Internet or cell phone account. 4. HOUSING/HOTELS In recent years, most students have contacted rental agencies and secured apartments before arrival online. There are a lot of international schools that will be looking to book apartments every spring, so get as early as a start as possible. If you have not found somewhere in advance, you will want to start loo king for a place to live for the school year as soon as you arr ive. Finding an Apamrt ent: Most rental agencies have websites that list av ilable apartm ents. You can look at what is available and e-mail, fax or phone the agency for furthet r de ails. This has ebe n a successful approach for mostu st det n s. You will need to clarify the kind of apar tment you want, and through a series of communications, you should be able ton re t somet hing obef re arr iving in Flo rence. You will have to pay a deposit up front when you reserve an apartment and you will then be committed to it.

  • The Impacts in Real Estate of Landscape Values: Evidence from Tuscany (Italy)
    sustainability Article The Impacts in Real Estate of Landscape Values: Evidence from Tuscany (Italy) Francesco Riccioli 1,* , Roberto Fratini 2 and Fabio Boncinelli 2 1 Department of Veterinary Science—Rural Economics Section, University of Pisa, 56124 Pisa, Italy 2 Department of Agriculture, Food, Environment and Forestry, University of Florence, 50144 Firenze, Italy; roberto.fratini@unifi.it (R.F.); fabio.boncinelli@unifi.it (F.B.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Using spatial econometric techniques and local spatial statistics, this study explores the relationships between the real estate values in Tuscany with the individual perception of satisfaction by landscape types. The analysis includes the usual territorial variables such as proximity to urban centres and roads. The landscape values are measured through a sample of respondents who expressed their aesthetic-visual perceptions of different types of land use. Results from a multivariate local Geary highlight that house prices are not spatial independent and that between the variables included in the analysis there is mainly a positive correlation. Specifically, the findings demonstrate a significant spatial dependence in real estate prices. The aesthetic values influence the real estate price throughout more a spatial indirect effect rather than the direct effect. Practically, house prices in specific areas are more influenced by aspects such as proximity to essential services. The results seem to show to live close to highly aesthetic environments not in these environments. The results relating to the distance from the main roads, however, seem counterintuitive. This result probably depends on the evidence that these areas suffer from greater traffic jam or pollution or they are preferred for alternative uses such as for locating industrial plants or big shopping centres rather than residential Citation: Riccioli, F.; Fratini, R.; use.

  • Volta, the Istituto Nazionale and Scientific Communication in Early Nineteenth-Century Italy*
    Luigi Pepe Volta, the Istituto Nazionale and Scientific Communication in Early Nineteenth-Century Italy* In a famous paper published in Isis in 1969, Maurice Crosland posed the question as to which was the first international scientific congress. Historians of science commonly established it as the Karlsruhe Congress of 1860 whose subject was chemical notation and atomic weights. Crosland suggested that the first international scientific congress could be considered the meeting convened in Paris on January 20, 1798 for the definition of the metric system.1 In September 1798 there arrived in Paris Bugge from Denmark, van Swinden and Aeneae from Germany, Trallès from Switzerland, Ciscar and Pedrayes from Spain, Balbo, Mascheroni, Multedo, Franchini and Fabbroni from Italy. These scientists joined the several scientists already living in Paris and engaged in the definition of the metric system: Coulomb, Mechain, Delambre, Laplace, Legendre, Lagrange, etc. English and American scientists, however, did not take part in the meeting. The same question could be asked regarding the first national congress in England, in Germany, in Switzerland, in Italy, etc. As far as Italy is concerned, many historians of science would date the first meeting of Italian scientists (Prima Riunione degli Scienziati Italiani) as the one held in Pisa in 1839. This meeting was organised by Carlo Luciano Bonaparte, Napoleon’s nephew, with the co-operation of the mathematician Gaetano Giorgini under the sanction of the Grand Duke of Tuscany Leopold II (Leopold was a member of the Royal Society).2 Participation in the meetings of the Italian scientists, held annually from 1839 for nine years, was high: * This research was made possible by support from C.N.R.

  • Analysis and Evaluation of the Spatial Structure of Cittaslow Towns on the Example of Selected Regions in Central Italy and North-Eastern Poland
    land Article Analysis and Evaluation of the Spatial Structure of Cittaslow Towns on the Example of Selected Regions in Central Italy and North-Eastern Poland Marek Zagroba , Katarzyna Pawlewicz and Adam Senetra * Department of Socio-Economic Geography, Faculty of Geoengineering, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Prawoche´nskiego15, 10-720 Olsztyn, Poland; [email protected] (M.Z.); [email protected] (K.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-89-5234948 Abstract: Cittaslow International promotes harmonious development of small towns based on sustainable relationships between economic growth, protection of local traditions, cultural heritage and the environment, and an improvement in the quality of local life. The aim of this study was to analyze and evaluate the differences and similarities in the spatial structure of Cittaslow towns in the Italian regions of Tuscany and Umbria and the Polish region of Warmia and Mazury. The study examined historical towns which are situated in different parts of Europe and have evolved in different cultural and natural environments. The presented research attempts to determine whether the spatial structure of historical towns established in different European regions promotes the dissemination of the Cittaslow philosophy and the adoption of sustainable development principles. The urban design, architectural features and the composition of urban and architectural factors which Citation: Zagroba, M.; are largely responsible for perceptions of multi-dimensional space were evaluated. These goals were Pawlewicz, K.; Senetra, A. Analysis achieved with the use of a self-designed research method which supported a subjective evaluation and Evaluation of the Spatial of spatial structure defined by historical urban planning and architectural solutions.

  • 2013 Bologna Artelibro Book Fair List
    Artelibro Bologna 19 - 22 September 2013 Bernard Quaritch Ltd 1.AGRATI, Giuseppe. Delle sedizioni di Francia. Cenni storici di G. Agrati onde illustrare un discorso di Torquato Tasso; a cui se ne aggiugne un altro del maresciallo di Biron: si questo che quello tolti da manoscritti inediti. Brescia, Nicolò Bettoni, 1819. Large 16mo, pp. viii, 160; occasional very light spotting, some foxing on edges, but a crisp, tight, clean copy; nineteenth-century ownership inscription of Dr. Antonio Greppi, recording the book as a gift from Domenico Agrati, the author’s brother; contemporary boards, ink titling on spine. € 310 First and only edition, rare. Styled as the ‘transcription’ of unpublished manuscripts by Tasso and Biron on the French unrest from Calvin to Nantes, this publication was in fact intended to support the reaction of European aristocracy against the outcome and repercussions of the French Revolution. Hume’s and Rousseau’s visions of popular fury depict the violence of the French ‘populace’. Throughout history, Agrati argues, the French have fomented factions, incited rebellion and regularly spoiled the constructive efforts of well-meaning monarchs. In line with the spirit that had just animated the Congress of Vienna, Agrati maintains that only a ‘firm and absolute’ (p. 153) ruler can avert the lethal threat of anarchy. Rare outside Italy: one copy at BL, one listed in OCLC (Alberta). ALBERTI’S POLITICAL THOUGHT 2.ALBERTI, Leon Battista. Momus [or De principe]. Rome, Jacopo Mazochi, 1520. 4to., 104 leaves, including a leaf of errata at end; printed in roman letter, several large white-on-black initial letters; some light spotting but a very good large copy in marbled paper boards with paper spine label.
