Florence: the City of Memories
_l_ - - .. .·.. •; ,I .. FLORENCE: THE CITY OF MEMORIES - -· E. M. P OMEROY ----'---------. ANY. readers among the English-speaking peoples of the M world, who day by day followed the progress of the war in Italy, sometimes gave at least a passing thought to the historic centres of the past which have become the historic scenes of the present. For a moment or so the war was forgotten, and some centre of art or religion which captured the imagination in the past again stood out clear in all its ancient glory. To the writer such a centre was Florence or, as the Italians write it, Firenze, which means the City of Flowers. It was indeed the City of Flowers when visited during Easter week some years ago, when war clouds seemed far distant. Almost every person met on the street was wearing lilies-of-the-valley; and never to be-forgotten were the rose-covered garden walls on the road to Fiesole. Yet even more to the traveller than the City of Flowers did it become The City of Memories. l\!Iemory transformed the humblest city street into holy ground. Perhaps, one mused, from this street, while standing on these very stones, the nine-year-old Dante caught his first glimpse of Beatrice. Perchance he was walking here when, in his mind, were crystallizing some of the imperishable lines of his Vila Nuova. Certain it is that he gazed with tear-dimmed eyes upon the hills of Fiesole and the beautiful valley of the Arno, as he left his native city to pass into exil&-:-never to return! Then one's thoughts turned to that ardent reformer and :fiery orator, Savonarola, who lived a hundred years later.

5. Firenzefirenze
5. FirenzeFirenze Neptunbrønden, Piazza della Signoria 75 Arkitektur og byggestilFirenze ved et palæ fra renæssancen I renæssancen blev der bygget mange herskabelige palæer i Toscana på grund af den rigdom, der opstod i de velhavende bankier- og købmandskredse. Lorenzo il Magnifico fremmede sågar bygge- riet heraf ved at tilbyde 40 års skattefrihed til dem, som byggede et palæ på en ubebygget grund. I perioden 1450-78 blev der i gennemsnit bygget et større palæ om året i Firenze. Renæssancepalæerne har flere arkitektoniske fællestræk: 1) Palæerne er ofte navngivet efter deres ejer/bygherre. 2) Facaderne er bygget af groft tilhuggede kvadersten (rustikamurværk), som giver bygningerne indtryk af styrke og stabilitet. 3) Bygningerne er normalt opført i tre etager, som er afgrænset tydeligt fra hinanden ved brug af forskellige firkantede sten (kvadersten). Stueetagen blev brugt til opbevaringsrum og værksted. Her er ofte et gitter foran vinduerne. Mellemetagen var det officielle modtagerum (piano nobile), mens den øverste etage blev brugt til selve beboelsen. 4) Øverst på bygningen er der et fremspringende fladtrykt tag, som rager et pænt stykke ud over muren (kransgesims med konsoller). 5) Indtil år 1500 var vinduerne ofte omkranset af en halvcirkelformet bue af et kileformet murværk (ex Palazzo Strozzi). Efter 1500 var buerne over vinduerne ofte formet som store trekanter (ex Bartolini- Salimbeni). 6) I palæets centrum findes der som regel en indergård med en over- dækket buegang (loggia) og en brønd i midten. Gården funge- rede som tilbagetrukket indgangsparti og var samtidig et sted, hvor man kunne opholde sig i svalende skygge om sommeren. Biforiumvinduer i P. Strozzi.

Fabienne Moine Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Italian Poetry
Fabienne Moine Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s Italian Poetry: Constructing National Identity and Shaping the Poetic Self After Elizabeth Barrett married the poet Robert Browning in 1846, the newly-wed couple settled in Italy, a soothing place for Elizabeth’s poor health and a land of psychological independence, very unlike the prison-like house of Wimpole Street where her father had kept her away from any suitor. From her Florentine windows in Casa Guidi, the famous poet contemplated Italian history in the making during the Risorgimento. There she wrote one of her best poems, Aurora Leigh (1856), an aesthetic autobiography in verse. This epic poem would hardly have been so successful had she not previously writ- ten her political verse Casa Guidi Windows. In the two parts of this poem committed to the birth of the new nation, Barrett Browning reveals how deeply engaged she is in the Italian cause. Indeed, the last fifteen years of her artistic life were dedicated to the country which welcomed the poet and opened new perspectives in terms of poetical writing. From 1846 onwards, Barrett Browning unceasingly appealed to and supported the Italian people and openheartedly fought for the freedom of the country in her poems: Casa Guidi Windows, Poems Before Congress, and Last Poems published post- humously and after she had been buried in the English cemetery in Florence. Barrett Browning had a personal approach to Italy entirely different from her husband’s who could stroll about Florentine streets. She would stay behind her windows, as the title

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.

Passepartour 2019
PASSEPARTOUR 2019 FIRENZE OLTRARNO THE KEYS OF ACCESSIBILITY Florence is a world heritage site and as such it must be accessible to all, without exclusion. Florence welcomes people with physical disabilities due to an abundance of pedestrian areas and accessible historical and artistic sites. It is also unde- niable that some routes of the city-center - similar to many other historical cities throughout the world - may present some difficulties for people using wheelchairs: for example narrow streets, tiny sidewalks that are not easily passable or not homogeneous pavement. To address this problem and provide information on which paths are the best to follow for people with physical disabilities, the Municipality of Florence in collaboration with Kinoa Srl have designed and published this Guide. The PASSEPARTOUR project is made up of four volumes, each describing four different tourist itineraries "without barriers". In addition, the guide provides a map of the historical city-center, highlighting all the areas that can be navigated with complete autonomy, or with the support of a helper. In addition, Kinoa has developed the navigation app Kimap, which acts as a companion tool to the guide for the mobility of disabled people. Kimap can be downloaded for free on every smartphone: the app shows the most accessible path to reach your desired destination and is constantly updated. We hope that this project will contribute to improve the tourist experi- ence for those visiting our marvellous City, opening the doors to its extraordinary heritage. Cecilia Del Re Councilor for Tourism of the City of Florence Florence is a world heritage site and as such it must be accessible to all, without exclusion.
