Download or read book Florentine Festivals from the Middle Ages to the Modern Age and their Relationship with Art written by Anita Valentini and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-07-07 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume retraces the history, art and culture of the city of Florence through three unique festivities: the festival of New Year ab Incarnatione Domini and those celebrating the figures of Saint Anne and of Saint Reparata. All these festivals with their sacred connotations have been characterised, since ancient times, by political, civic or secular values. As Florentine citizens, curious about the world and in love with our city, the authors would like to underline how these values have continued to be vigorously represented up to the present day in new forms, and have also contributed to forming the distinctive character of the city of the lily. In this book, the reader will find both very famous and lesser-known artists and works of art that will allow them to better understand the history of this Tuscan city.

Download or read book Imperial City written by Susan Vandiver Nicassio and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-10-15 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1798, the armies of the French Revolution tried to transform Rome from the capital of the Papal States to a Jacobin Republic. For the next two decades, Rome was the subject of power struggles between the forces of the Empire and the Papacy, while Romans endured the unsuccessful efforts of Napoleon’s best and brightest to pull the ancient city into the modern world. Against this historical backdrop, Nicassio weaves together an absorbing social, cultural, and political history of Rome and its people. Based on primary sources and incorporating two centuries of Italian, French, and international research, her work reveals what life was like for Romans in the age of Napoleon. “A remarkable book that wonderfully vivifies an understudied era in the history of Rome. . . . This book will engage anyone interested in early modern cities, the relationship between religion and daily life, and the history of the city of Rome.”—Journal of Modern History “An engaging account of Tosca’s Rome. . . . Nicassio provides a fluent introduction to her subject.”—History Today “Meticulously researched, drawing on a host of original manuscripts, memoirs, personal letters, and secondary sources, enabling [Nicassio] to bring her story to life.”—History

Download or read book Studies in Honour of Guido Avezz Vol 1 2 written by Silvia Bigliazzi and published by Skenè. Texts and Studies. This book was released on 2018-12-20 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Συναγωνίζεσθαι, the ancient Greek verb chosen as the title of this volume, belongs to the jargon of dramaturgy as employed by Aristotle inPoetics, where he emphasizes the function of the Chorus as an active co-protagonist in the dynamics of drama. Here it suggests the collaborative nature of this Festschrift offered to Guido Avezzù in the year of his retirement by friends and colleagues. The volume collects a wide selection of contributions by international scholars, grouped into four sections: Greek Tragedy (Part 1), Greek Comedy (Part 2), Reception (Part 3), and Theatre and Beyond (Part 4).

Download or read book Black Madonnas written by Lucia Chiavola Birnbaum and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1993 edition, I considered black madonnas a metaphor for a memory of the time when the earth was belived to be the body of woman and all creatures were equal, a memory transmitted in vernacular traditions of earth-bounded cultures, historically expressed in cultural and poltical resistance, and glimpsed today in movements aiming for transformation. Sine then my understanding of black madonnas has been deepened by genetics finding that the orgin of modern humans is Africa, that migrations from Africa carried a primordial belief in a dar woman divinity to all continents. Black madonnas and other dark women of the world suggest a metaphor for healing millennial divisions of gender and race and concerted movements for justice.
Download or read book Les Acad mies dans l Europe humaniste written by Marc Deramaix and published by Librairie Droz. This book was released on 2008 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Héritières de l'Académie de Platon et de la réflexion de Pétrarque sur le loisir lettré, cénacles d'érudits et d'artistes sous la protection de puissants mécènes, les premières académies italiennes et françaises constituent l'un des cadres privilégiés du renouveau philologique, artistique, philosophique et scientifique qui va transfigurer l'Europe de la Renaissance. Les Académies dans l'Europe humaniste forment le premier ouvrage d'une telle envergure sur le sujet ; il pose un regard neuf sur le mouvement académique en Europe jusque vers 1600, notamment les premières académies italiennes (académie romaine de Pomponio Leto, académie napolitaine du Panhormite, puis de Pontano, académie florentine de Careggi, avec Marsile Ficin), les Académies royales françaises du règne des Valois (Académie de Poésie et de Musique, Académie du Palais) sans oublier d'autres organisations contemporaines moins connues. Des recherches documentaires présentent le personnel des divers groupes et les œuvres où s'expriment leurs idéaux. L'observation des rapports qu'elles entretiennent permet de définir la forme et les activités de chaque institution ainsi que la nature de leur contribution à l'extension des savoirs : enrichissement de la philologie classique, de la poétique, de la rhétorique, constitution de dictionnaires ou de répertoires linguistiques, archéologiques ou iconographiques, réflexion sur les arts à la lumière des traditions chrétienne ou néo-platonicienne, ambitions pédagogiques ; se dégage aussi le rôle majeur de la musique dans plusieurs académies. L'étude des liens matériels et idéologiques entre ces sociétés et les Grands (papes, rois, mécènes) donne enfin de mesurer la « liberté » dont jouissent les académies, particulièrement dans leur vocation encyclopédique et européenne.

Book excerpt: Arrivano tutte le sere, d’estate. Scaricano da un furgoncino un divano, tavolini e lampade. E pescano. L’alcolizzato abita in una baracca. I ragazzi vanno da lui a raccattare i vuoti per rivenderseli e comprare qualcosa, un hamburger oppure una scatola di proiettili. Quel giorno il ragazzino sceglie i proiettili. La Seconda guerra mondiale è appena finita, e nessuno fa caso a un adolescente con un fucile sottobraccio, fermo a una stazione di servizio. Il ragazzino è un uomo e ricorda, prima che il vento si porti via tutto, l’America e i suoi sogni, l’alcolizzato e le sue bottiglie, i due sul divano in riva al lago. La scelta, leggera e terribile, tra hamburger e proiettili, un colpo di fucile in un campo di meli e l’amico bello e ferito, lasciato lì a morire dissanguato. American Dust è un’elegia delicata e sorprendente, in cui l’infanzia e la morte danzano insieme, avvolte nella polvere del sogno americano.
Download or read book La Stregoneria in Italia written by Andrea Romanazzi and published by Venexia Editrice. This book was released on 2014-08-04 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sin dai tempi più arcaici gli uomini hanno cercato di contrastare le manifestazioni più estreme della Natura attraverso un'azione magica, che si è evoluta nei secoli generando credenze, riti e tabù. In Italia, in particolare, è sorta così una religione popolare di antica origine pagana in grado di proteggere dalla Natura ma soprattutto di rispondere alle esigenze terrene e materiali del devoto. Il libro affronta le espressioni di stregoneria popolari e rurali italiane, in un viaggio tra i rituali e gli scongiuri che sanciscono i momenti di passaggio della vita umana in un attento quadro degli antichi usi e costumi della nostra penisola.
