Appunti su palazzo Grimani dall’Albero d’Oro a Venezia
Palazzo Grimani dall’Albero d’Oro spalanca le proprie porte alla cultura, all’arte e a tutti coloro che desiderano scoprire la storia di questo sontuoso edificio sul Canal Grande. Il volume propone un avvincente viaggio nel tempo, nella città e tra le vite degli illustri ospiti che hanno abitato la dimora patrizia. Con una personale visita ‘raccontata’ e con una narrazione che non perde mai di vista il rigore scientifico, gli autori ci accompagnano attraverso le magnifiche sale, in un percorso che intreccia, con un’attenta ricostruzione, la storia delle famiglie e delle collezioni un tempo ospitate a palazzo. Massimo Favilla ha insegnato Progettazione Urbana e Territoriale press...
Una bambina di Lorenzo Tiepolo
Nel Ritratto di bambina di Lorenzo Tiepolo, qui presentato, si avverte lo spegnersi della retorica, pur magnifica, che aveva alimentato l’opera di Giambattista Tiepolo. Una scintilla di quell’estetica rimane viva nella maschera grottesca che occupa il centro fisico dell’ancor barocco sedile ‘alla Brustolon’, quasi un tributo del figlio verso il padre. La figura della bambina pare un automa colto nell’atto perturbante di animarsi e, nell’atmosfera, già annuncia il mondo inquieto di Francisco Goya. Gli autori, MASSIMO FAVILLA e RUGGERO RUGOLO, hanno dedicato i loro studi all’arte veneta, in particolare del Sei e del Settecento, che hanno trovato esito in pubblicazioni di carattere monografico, in atti di convegni, in cataloghi di mostre e in numerosi articoli su riviste scientifiche. I Quaderni dell’Albero d’Oro intendono offrire studi sintetici su singole opere, privilegiando la provenienza da collezioni private, che normalmente sono poco o per nulla fruibili da un largo pubblico. Palazzo Vendramin Grimani diventa quindi punto di incontro e di conoscenza, aprendo i propri spazi espositivi a episodi dell’arte, in particolare veneziana, altrimenti ignoti.
A brief History of Palazzo Grimani dall’Albero d’Oro in Venice
Palazzo Grimani dall’Albero d’Oro opens its doors to culture, art and all those who wish to discover the history of this sumptuous building on the Grand Canal. The book offers a fascinating journey through time, the city and the lives of the illustrious guests who have lived in this patrician residence. With a personal “ narrated” tour and a narrative that never loses sight of scientific rigour, the authors take us through the magnificent rooms in a journey that weaves together, with careful reconstruction, the history of the families and collections once hosted in the palazzo. Massimo Favilla has taught Urban and Territorial Design at the IUAV University of Venice and the History of Architecture at the University of Padua. Ruggero Rugolo is responsible for publishing at the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti and has taught the History of Modern Art at the University of Modena and Reggio and at Ca’ Foscari University in Venice. Their studies focus on Veneto art, in particular of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and have led to the publication of numerous monographs, conference proceedings, exhibition catalogues and articles in academic journals.
Architectures of Festival in Early Modern Europe
This fourth volume in the European Festival Studies, 1450–1700 series breaks with precedent in stemming from a joint conference (Venice, 2013) between the Society for European Festivals Research and the PALATIUM project supported by the European Science Foundation. The volume draws on up-to-date research by a Europe-wide group of academic scholars and museum and gallery curators to provide a unique, intellectually-stimulating and beautifully-illustrated account of temporary architecture created for festivals of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, together with permanent architecture pressed into service for festival occasions across major European locations including Italian, French, ...
Party Government in 48 Democracies (1945–1998)
Since the 1980s, political scientists have developed a renewed interest in the study of political institutions, based on the assumption that "institutions matter" -that is, that formal governmental institutions and constitutional-legal rules (as well as informal institutions like parties and interest groups) are crucial determinants of the shape of politics and policy outcomes. In this respect, the "new institutionalism" resembles the "old institutionalism" of pre-behaviorist days, but the crucial difference between the two is that the new institutionalists are committed to systematic empirical testing of their hypotheses, at least in principle. In practice, however, especially in compara ti...
