Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italy Old and New I would never live anywhere in Rome but on the Piazza dell' Esquilino. Of all those gentle elevations which were once the seven hills of the Eternal City, the Esquiline seems to stand the highest now and the Campanile of Santa Maria Maggiore towers to the stars as once Maecenas' palace on the Esquiline did.

Download or read book Old Rome and New Italy Recuerdos De Italia Classic Reprint written by Emilio Castelar and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Rome and New Italy (Recuerdos De Italia) In her history there is an order which is not a natural or der, but a human order, like the transition from the ancient world to the modern world - like the passing from the Middle Age to the Renaissance. By those buildings so famed for beauty, those statues so serene and lovely, have passed all the tempests of the human spirit. Knowledge has bpened their wounds; and on seeing them, one feels in heart and brain the immense effort it has cost ages to create the modern spirit in which we breathe and live. For this reason a journey to Italy is a journey through all periods of history. And this is why an essay upon Italy, rather than a description, should be, in my judgment, a revival. I have intended to keep al ways in mind that above these great works of art, of archaol ogy, history is visible. I am happy, quite happy, if I have succeeded in imparting to my readers the thoughts that, so to speak, are exhaled from the artistic works and the historical recollections of immortal Italy.

This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cart of Many Colors a Story of Italy Signs over the little shops would be written in Italian words; and all the babies would have dark Italian eyes and Shy Italian smiles; and all the people in the street would talk and laugh and sing in Italian; and out of all the doorways would come the smell of Italian cooking. And sometimes, at night, the whole street would be decked and garlanded with little electric lights, red and white and green, to celebrate the birth day Of the Italian saint who used to be the guardian spirit of the old Village in Italy, and who of course had emigrated with his villagers when they came to the new world. The Italians are not the only people who get together in groups and colonies in Our Amer ican cities. The Poles, the Russian Jews, the Germans, the Chinese, all the lonely new immi grants do it. They feel strange and far away from their own lands in this new country, and they want to live next door to some one who understands their language and their Old life. But thoughtful Americans are beginning to see that these little patches of Poland, Germany, Italy, are almost as far from America as if they were still on the other Side of the ocean. Daily messages, by cable and wireless, flash between Italy and America, but between Little Italy and Riverside Drive, in New York, there is no wire less; Mars and the Earth are not more far apart in some ways. It is to help Old Ameri cans and new Americans to get together and understand each other that little books like this one are written, - old Americans whose grand parents were born here, and new Americans whose children will be born here.

Download or read book Plain Towns of Italy written by Egerton Ryerson Williams Jr. and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-22 with total page 730 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plain Towns of Italy: The Cities of Old Venetia In the succeeding era of the despots, the Veneto maintained its leading position. In the Polesine it produced that resplendent race of tyrants, the oldest and most cultured of all, who from their conquest of that district descended upon Ferrara, Modena, and Reggio, placing the proud name of este amongst the antecedents of all royal lines. From the Trevisan Marches appeared that most famous and powerful of early despots, Ezzelino da Romano, who reduced the whole province beneath his bloody yoke, and has left in many a town his still visible and fearful imprint. The subsequent Della Carrara of Padua, and Della Scala of Verona, stood foremost among the tyrants of the dawning Renaissance, illustrious for their con quests as for their patronage of science, literature, and the arts, and they began the remodeling of their subject cities on the alluring lines of to-day. After them came the mightier power which caused their fall, the great Republic that stretched her resistless arms slowly over the whole eastern plain, endowing it for all time with the lustre of her name. Venice brought to the long battling cities peace, order, prosperity, and a benevolent, paternal rule that caused them to leap forward in the onrush of the Renaissance, and develop those magnificent schools of painting, sculpt ure, and architecture which made Venetia the jewel casket of Italy.

Download or read book Rome and Italy written by Livy and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2004-05-27 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Books VI-X of Livy's monumental work trace Rome's fortunes from its near collapse after defeat by the Gauls in 386 bc to its emergence, in a matter of decades, as the premier power in Italy, having conquered the city-state of Samnium in 293 bc. In this fascinating history, events are described not simply in terms of partisan politics, but through colourful portraits that bring the strengths, weaknesses and motives of leading figures such as the noble statesman Camillus and the corrupt Manlius vividly to life. While Rome's greatest chronicler intended his history to be a memorial to former glory, he also had more didactic aims - hoping that readers of his account could learn from the past ills and virtues of the city.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Italian Love Stories But notwithstanding all that is lost in the re-telling, in a different language and at a different day, something remains, independent of both the old life and the old language, which the past has and can bestow even upon the unlettered readers of an alien country and an alien time, and that is the stories themselves, apart from their treatment and expression. Even retold their charm cannot, we are fain to hope, wholly evaporate. It is at all events possible to convey in some measure, by a simple recital of their contents, some idea of the positive genius for the picturesque in incident, episode, and surroundings, characteristic of the school to which they belong; of the blind intensity with which a single passion is painted, dominating and determining the living and dying of men and women of bygone generations; of the simple and undeviating directness of aim, good or evil, upon which the plots are constructed with such excellence of art that they seem a mere accident of instinct.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twilight in Italy The imperial road to Italy goes from Munich across the Tyrol, through Innsbruck and Bozen to Verona, over the mountains. Here the great processions passed as the emperors went South, or came home again from rosy Italy to their own Germany. And how much has that old imperial vanity clung to the German soul? Did not the German kings inherit the empire of bygone Rome? It was not a very real empire, perhaps, but the sound was high and splendid.

This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Italian Surgery and Old Universities of Italy For some years prior to the recent great war American medical students have gone to Germany for their post-graduate medical teaching: France, England and Austria, before this, having held the honor in turn. To Italy Americans have travelled to sec art and ruins but never to visit the hospitals or to learn from Italy's medical teachers. Not that the world in general, or America in particular, was unaware of the reputation of the older Italian universities or unfamiliar with the skill and learning of the medical men of the Italy of modern times; but mankind, when the herd instinct is strongly developed, exhibits many reactions that may be traced to humble ancestry and one, at least, of the meek and lowly sheep, namely: that of crowding through the same hole in the fence or over the highest barrier that may block the way. And, then it must be admitted that the art and architecture of Italy, whether preserved or in ruins, present a strong appeal to persons of education and artistic taste. The achievements of Italy in Medicine and Surgery during the last war, however, have been so great that the world can no longer fail to notice them.

Download or read book Old Italian Masters Classic Reprint written by Timothy Cole and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-17 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Italian Masters Like all revolutions, this became proscriptive - the Old Mas ters became the derision of every aspirant, and naturalism the only art. This also was excess, and is followed by reaction. Na ture will not teach art, and the exclusive pursuit of her indications can only lead to a simulacrum of art, in which the vital spirit of it can by no chance enter. Art is the expression of all the spiritual faculties of man, passion for beauty, aspiration of the imagination, the manifestation of the individual in his inmost nature. For this nature can only furnish an alphabet, types whose meaning only sympathy can unfold, and which become the language of art. The sense of the insufficiency of the so-called naturalistic art has brought those who craved the real art-influence to look back to the earlier schools, and the result has been that we have found again the springs of art and the true meaning of the desecrated word Ideal, the ivisible expression of which is the mission of art, z'. E., the individual conception of beauty taken in its largest sense, as what is most desirable and attractive in conceivable form - not to be confounded with the actual, and probably-never existing in nature. The Italian Renaissance was in no wise a re turn to nature as model, but a reawakening of the spiritual activity of the race after a torpor of ages, and which demanded the means of expression of itself. As the religious passion was dominant in that phase of Italian development, the religious motive was that which caught the inspiration; but this was incidental - the essen tial fact was that the art was not an appeal to nature but a form of poetic speech, the telling of a spiritual truth, not the rela tion of a natural phenomenon or fact. It was the poet, not the scientist, that appeared. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Young Italy Laelius is attached to the spot, not merely on ao count of its charms of nature and climate, but because it is endeared to him by many associations, and the memory of the loved and lost. Moreover, the whole of the more modern portion of Cannes claims his paternity. Since he first settled here, land has risen greatly in value, and it is now sold at an exorbitant price. Owing to the division of property, the possessions have been divided and subdivided, until they represent, in.many instances, the most infinitesimal product of an estate. A man possesses a certain number of orange trees, sometimes as few as half-a-dozen a small grove of Olives; or an aca cia row; but these small possessions lead to great assertions of dignity on the part.of the owners. A gentleman with a garden of shrubs will tell you, Qu'il a été promener dans ses terres, ' and reposes under the shade of his tallest tree as proudly as any Old Roman Catholic house of Lancashire be neath their glorious gothic roof.

Download or read book Shakespeare and the Italian Renaissance Classic Reprint written by Sir Sidney Lee and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare and the Italian Renaissance Italy set out on her modern career with advantages which she shared with no other part of Europe. Civilization in liberal meas ure illumined the land while mists of barbarism enveloped the rest of Europe. The intellect of ancient Italy was largely fertilized by forces older and more lucent than those of her own breeding: by the thought and style of Greece. But the native land of Vergil and Catullus, of Cicero and Tacitus, insured herself near years ago against a denial at any era of her literary genius or power. The country which harboured the Republic and Empire of Rome, the country which was the nursery of Roman law and the birth place of Latin Christianity, claimed in the fifth century of our era a civilized and a civilizing tradition, which Attila and his Huns, with other scourges of kindred race, vowed to perdition in vain. The successes and failures of the Gothic warlords of the fifth century in their assaults on Italy graphically illustrate the virtual futility of relying on brute violence to annihilate the fruit of man's intellect and spirit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italy, Her People and Their Story: A Popular History of the Beginning, Rise, Development, and Progress of Italy From the Time of Romulus to That of Victor Emanuel III Italy is one of the most discussed subjects of the day, both on account of the great number of Americans who visit the country each year and also because it has recently come into notice as a kingdom in process of large development, which is likely to result in its finally assuming a place as one of the lead ing nations. More and more is written each year concerning Italy's aims, aspirations, probabilities, and chances. Hence the necessity of a work telling the deeds of the people from earliest times has become most urgent. This is especially the case since, of late, early Roman history, with its captivating legends, has been relegated, for the most part, to the Latin authors, while people in general have grown rusty with regard to the old classic tales which formerly were household words. With reference also to modern Italian history for the past few decades, little concerning it has been put into concise readable form, and a great demand has all at once sprung up for a bright, brief, entertaining, authentic account of events in Italy since her consoli dation as a united kingdom in 1870.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Art Studies, the Old Masters of Italy, Painting The proper aim of a work of this character is so interwoven with the entire text that the author, in a preface, has little else to say than to request those who feel a real interest in art to patiently keep him company to the end. Those who do not should st0p here. All or nothing is better in this instance. For, with less than a thorough perusal cavil who may afterwards - both the topic and author may be misinterpreted. Yet, in the Epic struggle of Life going on in America, resolving rough and serious problems of all sorts, in which struggle our population seem to be ever striving to catch up with something that as constantly eludes their grasp, how can one hope to persuade the people to borrow even a few moments from their great match with Time, to give heed to the lessons and enjoyments of art? The author, while in America, finds himself, voluntarily or not, borne rapidly along by the great tide of human action, and also feels the thrill of the eager pursuit after that practical and material ideal of success which gives strength to our.
