Paolo Portoghesi. The Architecture of Listening
Argan wrote: “Portoghesi's historical method does not consist in the relatively easy task of discovering Palladio in Aalto, or Borromini in Wright, but in the inverse and more difficult operation of discovering Aalto in Palladio and Wright in Borromini, in demonstrating that, given Palladio and Borromini, there cannot not be Aalto and Wright and what comes thereafter is up to the moral, personal commitment of the historian. One thus enters an order of necessity, the same by which the historian cannot avoid being a politician...poetics is not the premise, but the ethical necessity for commitment on the operational level of Art”. Faced with the unravelling of this historical perspective of...
Paolo Portoghesi. L'architettura dell'ascolto
Da quando, a ventidue anni, ha cominciato a scrivere e a studiare architettura, Paolo Portoghesi, nato a Roma nel 1931, combatte a tutto campo contro l'amnesia che ha dato alla modernità l'illusione di aver azzerato la storia e che rischia, a suo parere, di portarla oggi verso il naufragio nell'irrazionalismo. Figura anomala, che unisce al talento dello storico e del critico quello dell'architetto creatore, si è scontrato con molti dei protagonisti della cultura architettonica italiana, da Zevi a Benevolo, a Tafuri, sostenendo la necessità di ridare spazio alla tradizione intesa come stimolo all'innovazione nella continuità. "Il metodo storico di Portoghesi", ha scritto Argan, "non consi...

Pirro Ligorio’s Worlds

Rome's Patron
The story of Maecenas and his role in the evolution and continuing legacy of ancient Roman poetry and culture An unelected statesman with exceptional powers, a patron of the arts and a luxury-loving friend of the emperor Augustus: Maecenas was one of the most prominent and distinctive personalities of ancient Rome. Yet the traces he left behind are unreliable and tantalizingly scarce. Rather than attempting a conventional biography, Emily Gowers shows in Rome’s Patron that it is possible to tell a different story, one about Maecenas’s influence, his changing identities and the many narratives attached to him across two millennia. Rome’s Patron explores Maecenas’s appearances in the c...

The Years of Alienation in Italy
The Years of Alienation in Italy offers an interdisciplinary overview of the socio-political, psychological, philosophical, and cultural meanings that the notion of alienation took on in Italy between the 1960s and the 1970s. It addresses alienation as a social condition of estrangement caused by the capitalist system, a pathological state of the mind and an ontological condition of subjectivity. Contributors to the edited volume explore the pervasive influence this multifarious concept had on literature, cinema, architecture, and photography in Italy. The collection also theoretically reassesses the notion of alienation from a novel perspective, employing Italy as a paradigmatic case study in its pioneering role in the revolution of mental health care and factory work during these two decades.
