  • Ancient Battles Guido Beltramini
    Ancient Battles Guido Beltramini In 1575 Palladio published an illustrated Italian edition of Julius Caesar’s Commentaries. Five years later, his death halted the publication of Polybius’ Histories, which included forty-three engravings showing armies deployed at various battles: from Cannae to Zamas, Mantinea and Cynoscephalae. At the height of his career, Palladio invested time, energy and money into two publishing ventures far removed from architecture. In fact the two publications were part of a world of military matters which had attracted Palladio’s interest since his youth, when it formed an integral part of his education undertaken by Giangiorgio Trissino. As John Hale has shown, sixteenth-century Venice was one of the most active centres in Europe for military publications dealing with matters such as fortifications, tactics, artillery, fencing and even medicine. The distinguishing element in the Venetian production of such books was the widespread belief in the importance of the example of the Classical Greek and Roman writers, shared by men of letters and professional soldiers. This was combined with particular care shown towards the reader. The books were supplemented with tables of contents, indices, marginal notes and even accompanied by the publication of compendia illustrating the texts, such as the series entitled Gioie (‘Gems’) which Gabriele Giolito published from 1557 to 1570 (Hale 1980, pp. 257-268). Fig 1: Valerio Chiericati, manuscript of Della Many of the leading players in this milieu were linked to Trissino, albeit Milizia.

La base cartografica è stata elaborata e fornita dal Dipartimento Urbanistica della Provincia alla scala di 1:50.000. Gli elaborati cartografici prodotti sono i seguenti: • carta geolitologica • carta geomorfologica • carta idrogeologica Le tre tavole geotematiche derivano dalla analisi e rielaborazione di dati prevalentemente già esistenti, desunti in parte da studi e ricerche editi e inediti, in parte integrati e corretti con dati e osservazioni attuali. In particolare i tematismi riportati nelle carte sono desunti dalla “carta geolitologica e geomorfologica con elementi geoidrologici” in 10 tavole alla scala 1:25.000 del Piano Territoriale Provinciale di coordinamento del marzo 1998 (nel seguito PTP 98), integrata dalla “Carta Geologica del Veneto” alla scala 1:250.000 della Regione Veneto. Il dettaglio richiesto per uno strumento di pianificazione su scala provinciale, che dovrebbe esprimere più tematismi su vaste aree, richiede una rilevante quantità di dati puntuali ottenibili solo con metodi esplorativi diretti o indiretti realizzabili in tempi molto lunghi. I tematismi sviluppati mediante gli elaborati cartografici citati hanno richiesto l’applicazione di una metodologia standard opportunamente adattata alle realtà incontrate, tendente a semplificare la classificazione e ad indicare i principali elementi su unità territoriali molto diverse tra loro: aree montane, aree collinari, ampie zone infravallive, aree di pianura.

  • The Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia Regions
    DEPAUW SUMMER 2015 Explore Italy REGIONS AND CITIES OF NORTHEASTERN ITALY The Authentic Italy Northeastern Italy is composed of two regions, Veneto and Friuli Venezia-Giulia. At the geographical heart of Europe, the area has played host to many different peoples and cultures, including the Celts, Romans, Huns, Byzantines, Lombards, Franks, Venetians, French, and Hapsburgs, before becoming regions of Italy. The result is an area rich in diverse architecture and art, and one with world-class cuisine and wine. The two regions are home to no less than eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The New York Times recently called Friuli “Italy’s Secret Garden,” and the region has only lately been discovered by non- The Veneto and Friuli Venezia Europeans. Giulia Regions “Friuli is the great undiscovered region of Italy: It has beautiful beaches on the Adriatic, stunning undiscovered alps in Carnia, idyllic scenery in the winegrowing district known as Collio, vibrant and handsome cities such as Udine and mysterious Trieste, historical centers such as Aquileia and Cividale del Friuli, wonderful food and wine, great coffee, good cultural facilities, and above all some of the warmest, most welcoming people you will ever meet.” Slovenia & Croatia A town of ancient origins on the coast of the Istrian peninsula, 25 km from Italy, Piran was voluntarily absorbed into the Venetian empire in 1283 when Croatian pirates were continually threatening the Dalmatian coast. Many Venetian artists visited and worked in Piran, including the famed Piranese violinist Giuseppe Tartini (born in Piran) and the Venetian master painter Tintoretto, one of whose paintings can be seen in the local museum.

  • Sito UNESCO “La Città Di Vicenza E Le Ville Del Palladio Nel Veneto” (Villa Foscari – La Malcontenta – in Comune Di Mira – Provincia Di Venezia)
    ITINERARIO 4. Sito UNESCO “ La città di Vicenza e le Ville del Palladio nel Veneto” (Villa Foscari-La Malcontenta, in Comune di Mira – Provincia di Venezia ); Da Padova a Venezia lungo la Riviera del Brenta. Elaborazione su immagine tratta dal sito www.padovanavigazione.it Dall’anello fluviale di Padova, imbarcandosi al Portello (storico approdo immortalato anche nei quadri del Canaletto), su uno dei battelli che ancor oggi percorrono il Canale Piovego (sec. XIII) e poi la Riviera del Brenta, in territorio veneziano, è possibile ammirare le moltissime Ville Venete che su di essa si affacciano, tra le quali, solo per citarne alcune, Villa Giovannelli, a Noventa Padovana (in Provincia di Padova), Villa Pisani, a Strà, Villa Foscari – detta La Malcontenta - a Mira, facente parte del Sito UNESCO seriale “La città di Vicenza e le Ville del Palladio nel Veneto” ), raggiungendo quindi la laguna e infine il centro storico di Venezia. 4.a Da Padova a Venezia, lungo la Riviera del Brenta Frequentata da Casanova, Galileo, Byron e d'Annunzio; dipinta dal Tiepolo e dal Canaletto; decantata da Goethe e Goldoni, la Riviera del Brenta ospitò reali di Francia e di Russia; vi soggiornarono Napoleone, gli Asburgo e i Savoia. Le numerose ville che la costeggiano furono progettate e affrescate da maestri dell`arte italiana, commissionate e vissute dalla nobiltà veneziana come dimore di campagna, nelle quali celebrare il rito dei cortei acquei, delle cene sfarzose, delle feste protratte fino all’alba. Qui, non lontani dalla città, i patrizi più facoltosi trascorrevano le loro vacanze, partendo da Venezia in gondola o in peote o con comode imbarcazioni chiamate Burchielli che risalivano il Canale Navigabile del Brenta trainate da cavalli o buoi fino a Padova, mentre le merci erano trasportate da battelli chiamati Burci.
