Herrscherbesuche sind für die gastgebenden Eliten im vormodernen Italien ehrenvolle Ereignisse, die mittels Wandmalereien dauerhaft an den Wänden der besuchten Häuser inszeniert werden. Im Zeitraum von 1300 bis 1750 lassen sich in der Toskana, dem Aostatal, der Lombardei und in Venetien Wandmalereien beobachten, die das Motiv des Herrscherbesuches vielgestaltig thematisieren. Von spätmittelalterlichen Throndarstellungen über komplexe heraldische Anordnungen bis hin zu frühneuzeitlichen Historienbildern inszenieren die Malereien den empfangenen Herrscher, aber auch und insbesondere die elitären Gastgeber. Oszillierend zwischen historischer Realität und visueller Fiktion lassen sich fÃ...
Luca Bigazzi is one of Italy's most acclaimed award-winning directors of photography (DOP). His life has been dedicated entirely to the best of independent Italian cinema (not counting his work with Abbas Kiarostami). He has worked with directors such as Mario Martone, Gianni Amelio, Cipri e Maresco, Silvio Soldini, Carlo Mazzacurati, Antonio Capuano, Leonardo Di Costanzo and Andrea Segre, and has been working with Paolo Sorrentino since The Consequences of Love in 2004. In this interview, edited by the photographer and film critic Alberto Spadafora, the Italian cinematographer talks about The Great Beauty, prizewinner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film of 2014. Although well-received abroad, the film hasn't had the same reaction in Italy. In the book Bigazzi explains his work using the camera and light, and describes Sorrentino's work methods and style. He also discusses the ethical and political issues in this harsh portrayal of Italy."
Die Erinnerung an den Nationalsozialismus und den Holocaust ist in stetiger Transformation begriffen. Dieser Wandel gewinnt ebenso an Bedeutung wie die Entwicklung der digitalen Holocaust Education. Dies zeigt sich nicht zuletzt an immer neuen digitalen Vermittlungsangeboten und georeferenzierten Webapplikationen, in denen Erinnerungsorte auf digitalen Landkarten markiert und im Sinne des Deep Mappings mit weiterführenden Informationen versehen werden. Die Beiträger*innen diskutieren diese Entwicklungen kritisch und stellen die unterschiedlichen Aspekte von digitalen georeferenzierten Dokumentations-, Erinnerungs- und Vermittlungsprojekten vor.

Fra tutti, brilla di luce propria la figlia primogenita Marietta, pittrice e musicista presto consegnata a un mito che la trasforma in personaggio letterario. A poco a poco, dall'oblio riaffiorano anche le innumerevoli vite di coloro che nel corso di due secoli hanno incrociato i loro destini con quelli dei Tintoretto: gioiellieri, librai, dogi, pittori, formaggiai, barcaioli, serve, spie, eretici, truffatori, contrabbandieri, ciarlatani; pagina dopo pagina, ci vengono raccontate storie dimenticate e insolite come quelle della meretrice blasfema Orsola, dello scrittore-alchimista Evangelista Ortense, della monaca ribelle suor Maria Isabella, del musicista itinerante Julio Zacchino, del facce...
