Byzantium

The fall of the Byzantine capital of Constantinople to the Latin West in 1204 during the Fourth Crusade abruptly interrupted nearly nine hundred years of artistic and cultural traditions. In 1261, however, the Byzantine general Michael VIII Palaiologos triumphantly re-entered Constantinople and reclaimed the seat of the empire, initiating a resurgence of art and culture that would continue for nearly three hundred years, not only in the waning empire itself but also among rival Eastern Christian nations eager to assume its legacy. Byzantium: Faith and Power (1261–1557), and the groundbreaking exhibition that it accompanies, explores the artistic and cultural flowering of the last centuries...

Italian Medieval Sculpture in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Cloisters

"The collection of Italian medieval sculpture in The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Cloisters began with the acquisition in 1908 of a Romanesque column statue; today the Museum's holdings comprise more than seventy works dating from the ninth to the late fifteenth century ... The birthplaces of these works range from Sicily to Venice; some typify local styles, others illustrate the intense artistic exchanges taking place within Italy and between Italy and the wider world ...

San Guglielmo di Malavalle

Stanco, magro e con le carni lacerate dai ferri ai polsi, alle caviglie e ai fianchi per penitenza: così doveva apparire Guglielmo, eremita di probabili natali francesi che scelse come luogo d penitenza la Maremma, in un punto talmente malsano da esser chiamato proprio “Malavalle”, vicino a Castiglione della Pescaia (GR). Di questa figura molti aspetti restano tuttora oscuri, a cominciare dalla sua reale identità. Tutti i suoi biografi hanno preso spunto dal libellus di un discepolo del santo, Alberto, aggiungendo liberamente – spesso influenzati da leggende sorte nel frattempo – fatti non documentabili e personali interpretazioni. E così, il santo padre dell’Ordine guglielmita ...

I Papi della Memoria

  • Categories: Art

Con grande ed intensa emozione, il Centro Europeo per il Turismo presenta quest’anno la mostra “I Papi della Memoria.

Curata da Mario Lolli Ghetti e realizzata in collaborazione con il Polo Museale di Roma, il Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant’Angelo, i Musei Vaticani e la Fabbrica di San Pietro. La mostra, dal titolo significativo, traccia, per vari aspetti, una linea di congiunzione tra epoche e fatti. La manifestazione infatti cade nell’anno del Cinquantenario del Concilio Vaticano II, il grande Sinodo pastorale aperto da beato Giovanni XXIII l’11 ottobre 1962 e chiuso dal venerato ...
