Emotions and Architecture
Emotions and Architecture: Forging Mediterranean Cities Between the Middle Ages and Early Modern Time explores architecture as a medium to arouse or conceal emotions, to build consensus through shared values, or to reconnect the urban community to its alleged ancestry. The chapters in this edited collection outline how architectonic symbols, images, and structures were codified – and sometimes recast – to match or to arouse emotions awakened by wars, political dominance, pandemic challenges, and religion. As signs of spiritual and political power, these elements were embraced and modulated locally, providing an endorsement to authorities and rituals for the community. This volume provide...
Columbarium Tombs and Collective Identity in Augustan Rome
Columbarium tombs are among the most recognizable forms of Roman architecture and also among the most enigmatic. The subterranean collective burial chambers have repeatedly sparked the imagination of modern commentators, but their origins and function remain obscure. Columbarium Tombs and Collective Identity in Augustan Rome situates columbaria within the development of Roman funerary architecture and the historical context of the early Imperial period. Contrary to earlier scholarship that often interprets columbaria primarily as economic burial solutions, Dorian Borbonus shows that they defined a community of people who were buried and commemorated collectively. Many of the tomb occupants were slaves and freed slaves, for whom collective burial was one strategy of community building that counterbalanced their exclusion in Roman society. Columbarium tombs were thus sites of social interaction that provided their occupants with a group identity that, this book shows, was especially relevant during the social and cultural transformation of the Augustan era.
The The Theoretical-Practical Elements of Music, Parts III and IV
A virtuoso violinist, conductor, composer, and a professor of mathematics and botany, Francesco Galeazzi (1758–1819) firmly believed that musical education should be clear, demonstrable, and practical. In 1791 and 1796, he published the two volumes of his Elementi teorico-practici di musica, a treatise that demonstrated both his thorough grounding in the work of earlier theorists and his own approach to musical study. The first volume gave precise instructions on the violin and how to play it; the second demonstrated his command of other instruments and genres and provided comprehensive introductions to music theory, music history, and music aesthetics. The treatise also addresses the nature of compositional process and eighteenth-century concerns about natural and acquired talent and creativity. This volume offers an unprecedented English translation of the second volume of Elementi teorico-practici di musica, with annotations and commentary. The translation is introduced with a study of Galeazzi's life and milieu, the genesis and sources for the Elementi, and its reception through the present day.

Portraiture and Social Identity in Eighteenth-Century Rome
This book sheds new light on the relationship between portraiture, social affirmation and the myth of Antiquity as it was experienced and elaborated in eighteenth-century Rome. Drawing upon a wealth of unpublished documents and previously unexamined literary texts, it offers new insights and readings into how the experience of the City in terms of abstract or concrete appropriation affected the ways of portraying native or visiting elite sitters. The Grand Tour portrait, usually discussed as a purely British phenomenon, is here put in its original context of production and compared to the portraits of the Romans themselves. Portraiture and Social Identity in Eighteenth-Century Rome will become essential reading for anyone with a particular interest in eighteenth-century art and its social use.
Roma cancellata - Erased Rome
L’Oratorio ha origine durante il XV secolo con la confraternita stessa ed era collocato proprio su quello che è oggi un tratto di Corso Vittorio Emanuele II. Pregevoli artisti hanno qui lavorato, e negli anni si sono susseguiti i nomi di coloro che sembravano essere coinvolti nella decorazione: Girolamo Siciolante da Sermoneta, Taddeo Zuccari, Federico Zuccari e molti altri, a testimonianza di una intensa vita popolare e artistica del luogo. Dall’Oratorio di Sant’Orsola arrivano sia la statua di San Giovanni Battista Giovane, attribuita a Michelangelo, sia alcuni frammenti marmorei di fine quattrocento, sia un grande affresco di Madonna in trono con bambino. Poi, nulla arriva a San Giovanni dei Fiorentini di questo luogo, demolito per permettere a Corso Vittorio Emanuele II di sfociare sul Tevere e arrivare in Vaticano. Ma altri frammenti sono stati salvati e conservati. E sono oggi al Museo di Roma. dall'introduzione di Simone Ferrari
Pio Pullini e Roma
La mostra dedicata a Pio Pullini pittore, decoratore e illustratore nato ad Ancona ma romano a tutti gli effetti, è l'occasione di rendere omaggio e riscoprire un artista singolare e poco conosciuto dal grande pubblico. Ospitata al Museo di Roma, Palazzo Braschi, che conserva un cospicuo fondo di acquerelli,in parte acquistati dall'artista stesso a partire dal 1930 e in parte frutto di diverse acquisizioni, l'esposizione presenta in tutto una novantina di opere provenienti anche dalla Galleria Comunale d'Arte Moderna e dalle collezioni private di Pia Petrucci e Pietro Pullini. Smessa la veste di pittore ufficiale, autore di decorazioni in edifici pubblici, Pullini fu un attento e sensibile ...
