The Thirties

The Arts in Italy beyond Fascism In 1930s Italy, during the Fascist era, a very vigorous artistic battle was waged, involving every style and trend, from Classicism to Futurism, from Expressionism to Abstraction, and from monumental art to salon painting. The scene was enriched and complicated by the emergence of design and mass communication—posters, wireless, films—which espoused many ideas from the "fine" arts and conveyed them to a broad public. It was a complex and vital time of experimentation, open to the outside world, the prelude to our modern era. The exhibition will present this decade through a selection of high-quality works, which at the same time offer a historically informed narrative of the time, fully conveying its aesthetic, cultural and ideological atmosphere. The exhibited materials will include art works, photographs, models. The exhibition opens with a focus on the influential artistic centres, each characterised by a particular style or taste: the Milan group with Sironi and Carrà; Florence, with Soffici, Rosai, Lega and

Тридцатые годы

Развитие искусства в Италии в эпоху фашизма В тридцатые годы в Италии, в эпоху фашизма, наблюдался особый подъем в сфере искусства, вовлекая все существующие на то время стили и тренды, от классики до футуризма, от экспрессионизма до абстракционизма, от монументализма до салонной живописи. Внедрение дизайна и средств массовой коммуникации обогатило и внесло разнообразие в общественную жизнь: появились плакаты, радио, фильмы, которые способствовали развитию «изящных» искусств и помогали доносить их до публики. Это было время сложного и жизненно необходимого

экспериментирования, открытое для внешнего мира — настоящая прелюдия нашей современной эры. Выставка представит это десятилетие коллекцией работ высочайшего качества, которые в то же время расскажут историческую правду той эпохи, полностью передавая ее эстетическую, культурную и идеологическую атмосферу. Показанные материалы будут включать художественные работы, фотографии, модели. Выставка акцентирует внимание на влиятельных центрах творческой жизни, каждый из которых характеризуется особым стилем или вкусом: миланская группа во главе с Сирони и Каррà; Флоренция с её Соффичи, Розаи, Лега и Виани; Болонья, Рим, Турин и Триест. Целая секция посвящена футуристам и современному визуальному искусству. Заключительный раздел выставки открывается экспозицией, посвященной роли Флоренции, как города наиболее важных и культурноактивных печатных изданий, формировавших связи между поэзией, живописью, письмом, скульптурой и музыкой. до 27 января.

Viani; Bologna, Roma, Turin and Trieste. A whole section is dedicated to the Futurists and abstract avant garde younger painters and sculptors, open to European and international influences. A section focuses on manifestations of public art in its plastic and painterly (muralism) forms, presenting sketches for murals and sculptures intended for public places, reliefs, glass panels and posters. The Contrasts section reflects the clash between modernity and tradition, culminating in the critical issue of "degenerate art" in Germany, which was reflected in some respects in Italy. Section V is dedicated Design and applied arts, the multiplication of art, mass reproduction, a variety of different household items against a backdrop of modern environments. In the final section, the opening group refers to Florence's role as the city of the most important and dynamic cultural journals, forming connections between poetry, painting, writing, sculpture and music. On the other hand there is the contrasting, albeit complementary, theme of The Strength of the Province and its Origins, featuring works by Soffici, Rosai, Viani, Romanelli, Marini, Quinto Martini and Manzù. The Modernity Myth relates the developments of such an atypical Futurist as Thayaht, and his brother Ram, to ideas for the city's renewal as embodied in the two architectural masterpieces of the new Santa Maria Novella station and the Giovanni Berta stadium. until january 27th.

Santa Maria Novella

Santo Spirito

Tuscan Cuisine

Piazza Santa Maria Novella is dominated by the breathtaking facade of its Basilica, the masterpiece of Leon Battista Alberti (1456-70), though the lower part dates from the 14th century. Santa Maria Novella is chronologically the first of the great Florentine basilicas. Its name, “Novella”, comes from the fact that it was built on the site of a 9th century oratory, called Santa Maria delle Vigne, which had already been enlarged in 1094.

Piazza Santo Spirito is surrounded by 15th century palaces and completed by a pretty garden with a fountain in the centre. Sit down for a breather here at one of the open-air cafè’s or restaurants and enjoy the popular and rather bohemian atmoshere of the square. It is always a hive of activity, due also to the fact that many Florentines still live and work here and it has not, as yet, been taken over by offices and hordes of tourists.

Над площадью Санта Мария Новелла возвышается захватывающий дух фасад Базилики — шедевр Леона Баттиста Альберти (1456-70). Хотя нижняя часть и датируется 14-ым веком, Санта Мария Новелла является хронологически одной из первых великих флорентийских базилик. Ее имя «Новелла» берет начало еще со времен самой первой постройки, которая стояла на этом месте — часовни, датируемой 9-ым веком, чье имя Санта Мария делле Винье.

Площадь Санто-Спирито окружена зданиями 15-го века и завершается прелестным садом с фонтаном по центру. Присядьте и сделайте здесь передышку в одном из кафе или ресторанов на открытом воздухе, чтобы насладиться оживленной и богемной атмосферой этой площади. Она всегда напоминает пчелиный улей, что многие флорентийцы до сих пор живут и работают здесь, где пока нет особой концентрации офисов и орд туристов.

В Тоскане, как известно, производятся вина высочайшего качества. Ее холмы покрыты виноградниками и в никакая другая местность не может похвалиться таким выбором вин. Здесь можно продегустировать лучшие в мире красные вина как например Брунелло ди Монтальчино, Вино Нобиле ди Монтепульчано, Карминьяно и Мореллино ди Скансано, Помино, Ансоника и вина Ельбы .

Frilli Gallery Sculpture Art Studio in Florence Since 1860

ince 1860 Frilli Gallery is a manufacturer of handcarved marble and hand-chiselled bronze sculptures for interior and garden decoration. The Gallery presents a wide range of Greek, Roman, Classical, Renaissance, Art Nouveau and Contemporary statues. The top quality replicas produced are highly valued “lost wax” bronze castings from original molds or hand carved white Carrara marbles, alabasters and stones. During 150 years of activity, Frilli Gallery has become the name of reference for private collectors , hotels, interior designers, worldwide museums. Over the years Frilli Gallery pieces have been purchased by royal families, shown at international exhibitions . Throughout this time, the Frilli Gallery has remained true to its mission: to bring “authentic” replicas of pieces of classic and modern sculpture to contemporary residences, villas and parks. “Authentic” replicas may sound as a contradiction in itself. But not many people know that replicas were already popular in antiquity. Most of the classical pieces shown in museums today are actually replicas of lost originals that became even more popular in the Renaissance as Roman and Greek art was rediscovered. There are few private art galleries in the world that can still bring new emotions to the visitors. The Frilli Gallery in Florence is one of those. Masterful replicas to be touched, caressed probed freely with your own hand, fingers. This experience will not leave one unmoved.

1860-го года Галерея Фрилли является изготовителем произведений из инкрустированного мрамора и бронзовых статуй ручной работы для интерьера и садовых декораций. Галерея представляет широкий спектр статуй в греческом, римском, классическом стиле, в стиле эпохи Ренессанса, стиле «модерн» и современном стиле. Высококачественные копии, сделанные с применением техники «потерянного воска» из бронзового литься с использованием подлинных опалубок или выполненные вручную из белого каррарского мрамора, алебастрового камня и других каменных материалов. В течении 151 года деятельности Галерея Фрилли стала отправным пунктом для многих коллекционеров, отелей, дизайнеров интерьера, а также музеев всего мира. За эти годы произведения Галереи Фрилли заказывались королевскими династиями и выступали в качестве экспонатов на международных выставках. Миссия Галереи Фрилли заключается в том, чтобы украшать «подлинными» частицами классической и современной скульптуры нынешние резиденции, виллы и парки. «Подлинные» копии — звучит противоречиво на первый взгляд. Однако, немногие знают, что копии имели огромную популярность уже в древности. Большинство классических произведений, выставляемых на показ в музеях, на самом деле являются копиями утерянных подлинников, которые приобрели особое признание в эпоху Возрождения, когда имело место переосмысление канонов красоты древнегреческого и древнеримского искусства.

Il Bisonte

Meeting Wanny Di Filippo From hippy to successful fashion designer and entrepreneur. This is the unusual story of Wanny, as everyone calls Antonio Di Filippo, who launched his leather handbags and accessories on the market with the "Il Bisonte" brand name just 40 years ago. We meet up in his historic premises in Palazzo Corsini in Via del Parione, between Via Tornabuoni and the Lungarno in Florence. IL BISONTE Via del Parione, 31r - Tel. 055.215722 www.ilbisonte.com

Mr Di Filippo can you tell us about the path that led you to found Il Bisonte? At the end of the 1960’s I was a spare parts representative in Italy. But it was on Sardinia’s beaches, at the weekend, that my creative adventure began, by making goat skin leather accessories which I gave to my friends. A love that eventually became my work . A love not only for design, but also for materials, shapes and colours, rather like a game where all the senses are involved and that, one step at a time, has made Il Bisonte so successful. In actual fact, I knew nothing about the bags of that period as they were extremely structured; instead, I designed bags that were really a sort of sack, practically two pieces of leather stuck together and tied with a string. At the end of the 1970’s, I settled in Via del Parione, in a mansion that once belonged to Pope Clement XII - Lorenzo Corsini (1730-1740) where you can still find Il Bisonte’s shop and offices nowdays. The modern factory il Bisonte is in Pontassieve from 2001. Il Bisonte has single-brand shops or franchises all over the world (Europe, United States, Japan, Australia, Taiwan, Hong Kong). In the 1980’s, it opened two shops in Paris: one on the Rive Droite inside the Galerie Véro Dodat and the other on the Rive Gauche in Rue du Cherche Midi; shops in New York and Beverly Hills, and a shop in Rome in Via dei Coronari, near Piazza Navona in 2008. The online shop shop.ilbisonte.com was inaugurated in 2010. The Flagship Store in Florence in Via del Parione, right in the heart of the city, perfectly epitomises Il Bisonte’s retro fashion taste: inspired by the fact that these same rooms once housed the mansion’s stables, new collections and a vast range of ‘historical’ articles are displayed, in an atmosphere recalling turn-of-the-century nuances.

IL BISONTE Интервью с Ванни ди Филиппо От хиппи до успешного модного дизайнера и предпринимателя. Такова необычная история Ванни, как все зовут Антонио ди Филиппо, который начал выпускать свои кожаные сумки и аксессуары под брендом «Il Bisonte» 40 лет назад. Мы встретились с ним в старинных стенах Дворца Корсини. Господин ди Филиппо, что послужило Вам толчком для основания бренда Il Bisonte? В конце 1960-ых я работал в качестве агента по продаже запчастей в Италии. Это случилось впервые на пляже Сардинии, на выходных, когда началось мое творческое приключение: я сделал несколько вещиц из козьей кожи, кото рые подарил моим друзьям. Хобби, которое внезапно превратилось в мою работу. В конце 1970-ых я открыл производство на улице Виа дель Парионе, в особняке, который когда-то принадлежал папе Клименту XII, где и сейчас находится магазин Il Bisonte вместе с офисами. Il Bisonte имеет монобрендовые магазины или франшизы по всему миру: Париж, Нью Йорк, Беверли Хиллз, Рим, Европа, Соединенные Штаты, Япония, Австралия, Тайвань, Гонконг. Онлайн магазин shop.ilbisonte. com был открыт в 2010-ом году.

interview | il bisonte

Откуда Вы черпаете вдохновения для дизайна Ваший продукции? За эти годы Il Bisonte пытался сохранить нетронутым дух мастерства в работе, который сделал его известным во всем мире, продолжая производить элементы, которые все изготавливаются строго в Тоскане. Воловья кожа — материал, характеризующий бренд, окрашенная растительными красками с процентным содержанием жира, который делает ее мягкой на ощупь и придает тот самый налет, который с годами делает ее еще красивее. Я знаю, что Вы охвачены настоящим культом буйволов — страсть, которая привела Вас к созданию частного музея, в котором собрано множество предметов, связанных с этими прекрасными животными. В чем тут секрет и что для Вас означает буйвол? Я всегда был очарован образом спокойствия и силы, который передают буйволы. Этот образ мне очень близок. Коллекция Дворца Корсини состоит из 1200 наименований, среди которых имеются картины, гравюры, скульптуры, монеты и памятные вещи. Вы все чаще находитесь в центре Вашей рекламной кампании, выступая в качестве модели, одетой то как Центурион, то как Гарибальди или самурай. Эти образы мгновенно приковывают Ваше внимание: каковы причины такого выбора? Я хочу убежать от обыденности сегодняшней рекламы и подчеркнуть, что произведения от Il Bisonte не подвержены влиянию времени, так же, как персонажи, которых я представляю. Все началось с самурая, которого я сыграл по просьбе японцев. После чего игра приняла новые обороты с другими персонажами, получая все большой успех в Италии.

Where do you take inspiration for the design of your produtcs? Over the years, Il Bisonte has tried to maintain intact the craftsman’s spirit in the work that has made him famous all over the world, continuing to produce items which are all strictly made in Italy (or better, made in Tuscany) and carefully selecting the materials to be used. Cowhide is the material that identifies the brand, a vegetable-tanned hide with a percentage of fat that makes it soft to the touch and that gives it a patina that further embellishes items over time. This means that Il Bisonte bags tell a stories, reveal who we are, I have come to understand that our style is appreciated by those who love articles which have a personality of their own I create objects for people who choose the unobtrusive luxury of hand made articles, pieces that are difficult to classify according to the latest dictates of fashion, and which have nothing to do with clients who wish to “flaunt a trademark or a look”. I know you have a real cult for buffalos, a passion that led you to create a private museum collecting objects related to these beautiful animals, what is the reason and what does buffalo mean for you? I have always been fascinated by the image of peace and strength that bisons convey and I have always searched for and carefully collected works of art and curiosities related to this animal. I think I sort of identify in this image. The collection, organized in Palazzo Corsini, is now made up of more than 1200 catalogued items, including paintings, prints, sculptures, stamps, coins and various memorabilia. You are increasingly at the center of your advertising campaings, acting as a model dressed as a Centurion, or Garibaldi rather than a Samurai, all these images immediatly captures your attention, what are the reasons behind this choice? I wanted to escape from the usual patterns of today's advertising and demonstrate that Il Bisonte creations are timeless, like the characters I played. Everything started with the Samurai I've played on great demand of the Japanese. They love my being changeable and versatile. Then the game continued with other characters and it was a great success in Italy.. All pictures by Giovanni Corti www.studart.it

Renaissance in Florence

The rebirth of the cultural and artistic life

The word Renaissance, used for the first time by Vasari in his book "Vite" (1550), refers to the historic period between the late 14th century and the second half of the 16th century, which was characterized by the rebirth of the cultural and artistic life. This phenomenon involved the whole of Europe but its first roots undoubtedly originate in early Florentine Humanism. Thus the rediscovery of classical studies, seen from a free and lay point of view, made it possible to uphold man and his possibilities of free thought and action through a critical analysis of his world that followed the guide-lines of the old masters. It meant a complete release of thought and action from the strict theological and very limited dogmas of the Middle Ages. Fundamentally, from the philosophical point of view, the Renaissance meant naturalism, in other words, the study of man and the universe without the use of metaphysics. Man is the centre and measure of all things, a chosen creator who echoes the deep harmony between the microcosm and the macrocosm. NiccolĂ˛ Cusano, Marsilio Ficino, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola and Giordano Bruno re-read Plato and, each one in their own way, found the inspiration to compare man with his capacity for knowledge (Neoplatonism). Alberti, Salutati and Vergerio rediscovered the values of human independence and

dignity in the philosophy of the Stoics. Lorenzo Valla, following the ideas of Epicurus, claimed the end of the principle of authority ("ipse dixit"). Pietro Pomponazzi, a follower of Aristotle, made his own completely laical interpretation, denying immortality of the soul and proposing ethics that were free of religious considerations. Machiavelli supported the separation of politics from morality. Telesio eliminated metaphysics from natural science. Campanella dared propose a "natural religion" and a Utopian protocommunism. A similar release from the strict bonds of metaphysics took place in the world of science and set the basis for the elaboration of mathematicalexperimental methods. New category of scientists and engineers was born of whom Leonardo is one of the finest examples. New sciences like astrology, alchemy and natural magic helped to reject the old Aristotelian method, founded on pure deduction. Important progress was made in the astronomic field by Copernicus, Tycho Brahe and Keplero, opening up the way for Galileo and heliocentrism. In the field of mechanics, Tartaglia and Benedetti rejected the Aristotelian idea of motion being a metaphysical absolute. For mathematics, the Italian algebraists Cardano were able to resolve third degree equations, which the Greeks and Arabs had not managed to do, and freed calculation from all purely dogmatic considerations.

Слово Ренессанс, впервые используемое Вазари в его книге «Жизни» (1550), относится к историческому периоду между 14-ым столетием и второй половиной 16-го, который был ознаменован возрождением культуры и искусства. Это явление вовлекло за собой всю Европу, чьи первые корни безусловно восходят к эпохе раннего флорентийского гуманизма, что означало полное освобождение от мыслей и действий, присущих строгим теологическим и крайне ограниченным средневековым догмам. Освобождение от тесных уз метафизики охватило весь научный мир и положило основу для экспериментальных математических методов. Зародилась новая категория ученых и инженеров, одним из ярчайших примеров которых был Леонардо да Винчи. Новые науки, такие как астрология, алхимия и природная магия помогли отодвинуть на второй план старый метод Аристотеля, основанный на чистой дедукции. Важного прогресса достигла сфера астрономии, благодаря Копернику, Тико Браге и Кеплеру, открывших путь Галилею и гелиоцентризму. В сфере механики Тарталья и Бенедетти отбросили утверждение Аристотеля, что движение является above:

There was rebellion in medicine against the archaistic ideas of Galen and a rebirth in the study of anatomy and the importance of direct observation. The Renaissance began to utilize the classical ideas and forms again in the arts, following the cultural ideals of continuation with the ancient world. Over a period of a few short years Brunelleschi, Donatello and Masaccio carried out a revolutionary transformation of the conceptions of creative activity. Art was no longer a "mechanical activity", or a sort of handcraft, but a "liberalis", or rather, an intellectual exercise. This transition was confirmed by the publication of several theoretical works by Leon Battista Alberti: "De pictura" (1436) "De re aedificatoria" (1452) e "De statua" (1464). Art became an instrument of knowledge and research into reality; it was a real science based on rational theoretical foundations, like the rules of perspective. The key-concept of the "imitation of nature" was based on the contrast between classical and Byzantine traditions but should also be understood as the mathematical and geometrical organization of visual data within a given space. This artistic rebirth spread and developed, reaching the greatest heights of "Classicism" with Bramante, Michelangelo and Leonardo. The artists that followed Raphael and Michelangelo (who as a boy lived in Lorenzo the Magnificent's house and in the gardens of St. Mark) developed Mannerism into a nonconformist search for pure originality as a reaction to the anxiety that transpired behind the veils of Classicism.

метафизической величиной. В сфере математики итальянский алгебраист Кардано научился решать уравнение с тремя неизвестными, которое греки и арабы в те времена решать не умели, освободив вычисление от чисто догматических рассуждений. В медицине произошло восстание против архаичных идей Галена и возрождение изучения анатомии и важности прямого осмотра. Ренессанс начал вновь обращаться к классическим идеям и формам в искусстве, воссоединяясь с культурными идеалами античного мира. Всего за несколько лет архитектор (Брунеллески), скульптор (Донателло) и художник (Мазаччо) произвели революционное перевоплощение во Флоренции принципов и функций творческой деятельности. Искусство перестало быть «механическим видом деятельности» или неким родом ремесленничества и превратилось в «свободное выражение» или, скорее, в интеллектуальное занятие. Этот переход был документирован несколькими опубликованными теоретическими трудами Леона Баттиста Альберти: «О живописи» (1436), посвященный Филиппо Бренеллески, «О зодчестве» (1452) и «О скульптуре» (1464). Искусство стало инструментом познания и поиска истины; оно превратилось в настоящую науку, основанную на рациональных теоретических принципах, таких, как правила перспективы. Ключевая концепция «имитации природы» основана на контрасте между классической и византийской школой, но могла также расцениваться и под углом математической и геометрической организации визуальных данных в заданном пространстве.

Музей Галерея Уффици

Галерея Уффици охватывает площадь около 8000 квадратных метров и содержит одну из самых важных коллекций произведений искусства всех времен, в том числе классические скульптуры и картины на холстах и дереве итальянских и зарубежных школ с 13 по 18 века. Галерея Уффици был первым музеем который был открыт для публичного посещения - великий князь дал разрешение на посещение его частной коллекции по запросу в 1591 году. Козимо I де Медичи решил построить дворец Уффици, доверив строительство Джорджо Вазари в 1560 году, дворец был завершен Буонталенти, который проектировал знаменитую Трибуну, дом, где разместились

The Uffizi Gallery covers an area of about 8.000 square meters and contains one of the most important collections of art of all times, including classical sculpture and paintings on canvas and wood by 13th to 18th century Italian and foreign schools. The Gallery of the Uffizi was also the first museum ever to be opened to the public: in fact the Grand Duke granted permission to visit it on request from the year 1591. Its four centuries of history make the Uffizi Gallery the oldest museum in the world. Cosimo I de’ Medici decided to build the Palace, whose construction was started by Giorgio Vasari in 1560 and later completed by Buontalenti, who designed the famous Tribune, to house the administrative offices (or “uffizi”) of the Government because Palazzo Vecchio, which also overlooks Piazza della Signoria, had become too small to hold them all. However it was his son Francesco I who was responsible for starting to turn the palace into a museum in 1581, when he closed the second floor Gallery with huge windows and arranged part of the grand-ducal collection of classical statues, medals, jewellery, weapons, paintings and scientific instruments here. The Medici were untiring collectors and were forever adding to the Gallery: some of the most important elements to be added to the collection came from the inheritance left by Ferdinando II’s mother, Vittoria della Rovere (1631), together with the many acquisitions made by Cardinal Leopoldo de’ Medici (16171675), which were to create the basis of the

Gallery of Prints and Drawings (on the first floor of the Uffizi, on the site of the old Court Theatre built by Bernardo Buontalenti) and the collection of Self-portraits, exhibited today in the Vasari Corridor linking the Uffizi to the royal palace of Pitti. When Gian Gastone, the last Medici Grand Duke, died, his sister Anna Maria Ludovica managed to prevent the artistic patrimony from being scattered with the famous “Family Pact” (1737, and reconfirmed in her will of 1743), which, instead of bequeathing everything to the successors of the House of HapsburgLorraines, left the collections to the city of Florence itself “to be an ornament to the Government, useful to the public and to attract the curiosity of foreigners”. This document proved to be vitally important when the time came to retrieve the art works that had been removed and taken to Paris in Napoleonic times. Altered and rearranged several times over the centuries, according to the cultural tastes of the various periods, the exhibition rooms are now composed of over 45 rooms containing about 1.700 paintings, 300 sculptures, 46 tapestries and 14 pieces of furniture and/or ceramics. In actual fact the Uffizi owns about 4.800 works, the remainder of which are either in storage or on loan to other museums. The main collection includes great works by Giotto,

административные оффисы (или "уффици") правительства. Уже сын Франциска I превратил здание в музей в 1581 году, когда закрыл галерею с огромными окнами на втором этаже и разместил там выставку великокняжеской коллекции античных статуй, медалей, ювелирных изделий, оружия, картин и научных приборов. Медичи были неутомимыми коллекционерами, каждый из них постоянно пополнял галерею ценными экспонатами. Когда Джан Гастоне, последний великий князь Медичией умер, его сестре Анне Марии Людовике удалось предотвратить утрату художественного наследия , подписав знаменитый "Семейный пакт" (1737 и также был подтвержден в ее завещании в 1743 году), который завещал Коллекцию городу Флоренция , “которая

будет украшением правительства, будет полезна для общественности и для привлечения иностранцев." Основная коллекция включает в себя величайшие произведения Джотто, Мазаччо, Филиппо Липпи, Боттичелли, Леонардо да Винчи, Беллини, Джорджоне, Тициана, Микеланджело, Рафаэля, и почти всех великих итальянских художников до 18-го века. Основная коллекция остается оригинальной на протяжении веков. Работы в основном расположены в исторической последовательности. Перемещаясь из одного зала в другой можно наблюдать эволющию живописии от эпохи византии и средневековой до барокко.

Masaccio, Filippo Lippi, Botticelli, da Vinci, Bellini, Giorgione, Titian, Michelangelo, Raphael, and just about every great Italian artist through the 18th century. The core of the collection is from the Medici court. The collection has remained remarkably intact with few changes over the centuries. The works are mostly arranged in historical sequence. Moving from room to room you can see how painting evolved from Byzantine and medieval beginnings through the Baroque. In the early works, you can see the Byzantine influence in the use of line to suggest drapery and the heavy use of gold leaf. The artists of Siena soon begin to change this style by suggesting three-dimensional architecture even before the discovery of formal perspective. Soon the revolutionary Giotto appears on the scene depicting rounded solid figures that seem almost like Doric columns. The international Gothic style soon exerts its influence. The spatial depth is pushed back and the scenes crowded with multitudes of figures in colorful costumes. In spite of this, the overall trend in Italian art is towards the austere. The artists give the human figure a more sculptural appearance and the space is simplified and made more logical. Around 1424, the discovery of mathematical perspective causes yet another revolution in style as artists

for more and more realistic representations of figures in space. The 15th century ushers in the early Renaissance. Artists have new theories and improved materials. There is a great deal of experimentation with various stylistic elements. Two of the masterpieces of the Uffizi come from this period. The Birth of Venus and the Primavera by Botticelli make us marvel at the artistic mind that could conceive such fantastic compositions. The paintings are unbelievably rich in detail and must be seen in person to be appreciated. There are many examples of High Renaissance works in the collection. Among them is the Annunciation by Leonardo da VincI and the Holy Family by Michelangelo. These paintings are not only a synthesis of the styles and techniques that came before; they glow with the inspiration of a golden age. There are also excellent examples of Venetian art from the period, including two important paintings by Titian, The Venus of Urbino and Flora. Soon there was a movement towards the elongated figures of the Mannerist style as in the works of Tintoretto. And towards the end of the 16th century Caravaggio had a profound impact on the art world with his realism and intense use of shadow and light. These changes ushered in the Baroque period. The Uffizi collection includes many masters of this period from Northern Europe, including Van Dyck, Rubens and Rembrandt. Finally, the collection contains a number of 18th century works that show the artistic trend towards genre scenes and courtly life.

The New Uffizi

Новые Уффици

In 2012 the Uffizi Gallery and its artistic itineraries have been extended to offer its visitors 17 new rooms located on the first floor and painted on either intense blue or red. This first step of the "New Uffizi" project expanded the visible collections and gave a better distribution of the museum's spaces. The eight new Blue rooms are dedicated to foreign painters from Flanders, Holland, France and Spain from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. The nine Red ones to Italian High Renaissance paintings by masters such as del Sarto, Fiorentino, Pontormo and Bronzino. In addition, the beautiful octagonal Tribune in the West wing was finally reopened after two years of restoration and rearrangement. The Tribuna was built in 1581 by Bernardo Buontalenti, as a place for Grand Duke Francesco I to display his treasures. Octagonal in shape, it has a dome crowned with a lantern and is lit by windows on the upper walls. Its chief glory is the precious mother-of-pearl decoration against a bright blue ground on the drum of the dome, and the dome itself covered with 6000 shells against a crimson background, all of which have been spectacularly restored on this occasion. The adjoining Stanzino delle Matematiche has now been opened and renovated with its emerald green walls and "grotteschi" on the ceiling.

В 2012-ом Галерея Уффици и ее музейные маршруты были расширены, чтобы предложить своим посетителям 17 новых комнат, расположенных на втором этаже и расписанных яркими синими и красными тонами. Этот первый шаг в проекте «Новых Уффици» увеличил экспозицию коллекций и способствовал улучшению использования музейного пространства. Восемь новых синих комнат посвящены иностранным живописцам из Фландрии, Голландии, Франции и Испании, с шестнадцатого по восемнадцатый век. Девять красных посвящены живописи раннего итальянского Ренессанса с работами таких мастеров, как дель Сарто, Фьорентино, Понтормо и Брондзино. В добавок прекрасная ортогональная трибуна в западном крыле была наконец-то вновь открыта для посетителей после двухлетнего перерыва и реконструкции. Трибуна была построена в 1581-ом году Бернардо Буонталенти, как место, где Великий герцог Франческо I мог бы показывать свои сокровища. Главным его украшением являются драгоценные перламутровые декорации на ярко-синем фоне по периметру, в то время как сам купол покрыт 6000 ракушками на пунцовом фоне, каждая из которых была великолепно отреставрирована по этому случаю.

Pitti Uomo Fashion in Florence

Pitti Uomo once again confirms the level of its proposals, thanks to the presence of over 1020 brand names, plus another 70 collections for women presented at Pitti W at the Dogana. The greatest fashion houses choose Pitti Uomo and Florence to present their collections and special projects in order to consolidate worldwide strategies at the beginning of the season. Pitti Uomo is becoming increasingly international, and this is confirmed by the figures, with an important rise in the number and quality of applications received for January – also from strong men’s fashion markets such as Great Britain, France, Germany, Japan and the United States. In fact, foreign vendors, from about 30 different countries, account for nearly 40% of our exhibitors. And then there are the buyers: the last winter edition of Pitti Uomo welcomed more than 30,000 visitors, 21,000 of whom were buyers from the world’s most important large and small retailers. The next edition of Pitti Uomo will stage as usual many special events at the Fortezza, the ideal venue for meeting the world’s top buyers and members of the international press. Scouting, research and keen focus on product quality are what make Pitti Uomo, and Florence, the event and the place that the world’s greatest names in fashion choose to show their new collections and special projects and to launch their global strategies at the start of the season. There is also a growing demand among our exhibitors to stage special events at the Fortezza – events that capture the attention of both buyers and the press. Pitti Bookswear is the key theme for the Pitti Immagine winter fairs. “And that’s because reading will always be fashionable”, says Agostino Poletto, Deputy General Manager of Pitti Immagine. “And because the world of fashion does not feed only on magazines, but it presents concepts and images that also have their roots in books (and that are often transposed into books). In January, books with all their physicality will be the leading players at Pitti Uomo and the other Pitti Immagine fairs. Walls of books, cascades of books will be painted here and there, or their spines will become piecemeal puzzle images”. Erik Bjerkesjo

Valditevere In 1950 Donna Piretta dei Principi Rocco di Torrepadula (mother of Donna Donatella Rocco di Torrepadula), with Vittorina Pacini Battaglia and the Countess Donina Cicogna, gave life to the "Valditevere" brand name.

G.B. Frugone 1885 All of the articles in cashmere by G.B.Frugone 1885 are the extraordinary result of an ancient and complex process. The human factor combined with experience and sensitivity to-

wards culture and traditions are crucial and decisive elements for ensuring a final result of quality: from its direct relations with the shepherds, who look after the flocks, to the careful selection of the precious yarns and lastly to the spinning and weaving. This is the spirit G.B.Frugone 1885 follows to carry out its articles in cashmere: from its knitwear and soft scarves to its beautiful blankets. Therefore people who buy G.B. Frugone 1885 knitwear choose to wear â&#x20AC;&#x153;historyâ&#x20AC;? that was written by the expert hands of enthusiastic craftsmen and that originates in the highlands of the Far East, thus continuing the craft traditions of the cottage industries blended with a typical Italian elegance and style.

Santa Maria Novella Piazza Santa Maria Novella is dominated by the breathtaking facade of its Basilica, the masterpiece of Leon Battista Alberti (1456-70), though the lower part dates from the 14th century. Santa Maria Novella is chronologically the first of the great Florentine basilicas. Its name, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Novellaâ&#x20AC;?, comes from the fact that

it was built on the site of a 9th century oratory, called Santa Maria delle Vigne, which had already been enlarged in 1094. In 1221 this church and the surrounding area was assigned to the Dominican monks, who immediately began to transform it. Construction started on what were to be the sumptuous headquarters of the powerful Dominican Order in 1246; designed by two architect monks, Fra Sisto

На площади Санта Мария Новелла преобладает захватывающий фасад его базилики, шедевр Леон Баттиста Альберти (1456-70), нижняя часть которой датируется 14 веком. Санта Мария Новелла является хронологически первой из великих флорентийских базилик. Ее название, "Новелла", исходит из того, что он был построен на месте Оратории девятого века, которая называлась СантаМария делле Винь, которые уже были достроены в 1094 году. В 1221 г. этот храм и его окрестности перешли к Доминиканским монахам, которые сразу же начали трансформировать его. Строительство началось длясоздания роскошной штаб-квартиры для мощного доминиканского ордена в 1246 году, идеябыла разработана двумя архитекторами монахами, фра Систо Фиорентино и Фра Ристоро да Кампи, и было завершено в 1360 году под руководством Фра Якопо Таленти, который также спроектировал Испанскую часовню или главу дома (135055), монастырскую Трапезную (1353) и Великую Колокольню в романскомготическом стиле (1330). Разработка фасада инкрустированного черным и белым мрамором является настоящим шедевром: он был заложен в 1300 году и позже завершен Леон Баттиста Альберти в 1470, и, возможно, может счи

таться самой красивой из всех флорентийских церквей. Альберти гармонично интегрировал уже существующие элементы средневековья, развивая их по классическому дизайну, добавляя треугольные барабанные полости, а также создавая две красиво инкрустированные боковые спирали или свитки, чтобы скрыть наклон крыши, которая охватывает боковые нефы. Интерьер базилики построен на латинском кресте по линии цистерцианскогоготического стиля, который

and Fra Ristoro da Campi, it was completed in 1360 under the direction of Fra Iacopo Talenti, who also designed the Spanish Chapel or chapter house (1350-55), the convent Refectory (1353) and the great pointed belltower in RomanesqueGothic style (1330). The elaborate facade of inlaid black and white marble is a real masterpiece: it was started in 1300 and later completed by Leon Battista Alberti in 1470 and it can perhaps be considered to be the most beautiful of all the Florentine churches. Alberti harmoniously integrated the already existing mediaeval elements by developing them along a classical design, adding a triangular tympanum, as well as creating the two beautifully inlaid lateral volute or scrolls to hide the slope of the roof that covers the side naves. The interior of the Basilica is built on a Latin cross on the lines of the Cistercian-Gothic style which was

ported from France but modified by the Italian mendicant Orders (the Franciscans and the Dominicans), in order to make it easier to preach to large numbers of worshippers. The interior is therefore divided up into three naves (the centre nave is 100 metres long), without chapels, and develops into a much larger area around the apse, particularly noticeable from Piazza Stazione. The interior of Santa Maria Novella contains a series of works that bear the signatures of Giotto, Andrea Orcagna, Brunelleschi, Ghiberti, Benedetto da Maiano, Masaccio, Domenico Ghirlandaio and Filippino Lippi. From here you can visit the Green Cloisters (with frescoes illustrating the Old Testament by Paolo Uccello), the Spanish Chapel (altarpiece by Bernardo Daddi, murals by school of Allori), the Cloister of the Dead (murals from the circle of Maso and Nardo di Cione) and the Refectory (murals by Allori). Outside in the square, whose limits were established by decree in 1287, you can see the two obelisks set on turtles by Giambologna, once used as markers for chariot races. The Loggia of the old Hospital of S. Paolo dei Convalescenti (with glazed terracottas of Della Robbia school), stands right opposite the Basilica. The house with the tabernacle on the corner previously belonged to the Guild of Doctors. All that remains of the old Chapel of S. Nicola (1333) is at no. 16, Via della Scala, replaced in 1612 by the Pharmacy of Santa Maria Novella. Nearby you can find the Croce al Trebbio, erected in 1308 to commemorate St. Peter Martyr's Dominican militants.

Santa Croce

the Franciscan Church

Michele Paonessa Chef Concierge Plaza Hotel Lucchesi +39.055.26236 introduces

Although the origins of the first Franciscan oratory are still lost in the mists of time, the construction of the new Basilica of Santa Croce is well documented and was officially started on May 3rd 1294, when the architect, Arnolfo di Cambio, laid the first stone of what was to become a masterpiece of Gothic art. His design was based on spatial grandiosity, with the structural elements carried out with rational clarity and sobriety. It is built on the plan of an Egyptian cross (in the shape of a T), with the interior divided into three naves (114,45 metres), a chancel and a transept full of chapels whose patronage was reserved for the most illustrious families in this quarter of the city: the Bardi and Peruzzi families were the foremost, but there were also the Tosinghi, Pulci, Rinuccini and Alberti families...The walls of these chapels and the entire church were immediately covered in frescoes by Giotto and his school, who

the facade of Santa Croce with the statue of Dante Alighieri

Хотя происхождение первых францисканских ораторий все еще теряется в глубине веков, строительство новой базилики Санта-Кроче хорошо документировано и официально началась 3 мая 1294, когда архитектор Арнольфо ди Камбио, заложили первый камень в будущий шедевр готического искусства. Его дизайн был основан на пространственной грандиозности, со структурными элементами и осуществлялся с рациональной ясностью и трезвостью. Она была спланирована в виде египетского креста , с интерьером разделенным на три нефа, алтаря и трансепта - часовни которая была зарезервирована для самых выдающихся семей этого квартала города: Барди, Перуцци, Тосиньи, Альберти и других. Стены этих часовен и всей церкви были немедленно покрыты фресками Джотто и художников его

школы, которые превратили базилику в музей живописи флорентийского искусства Возрождения . Теми же художниками были разработаны прекрасные светящиеся витражи. Новые архитектурные дополнения были внесены благодаря покровительству Козимо Медичи и Андреа де Пацци. Бывшая часовня послушников построена рядом с Ризницей Микелоццо и украшена и расписана Андреа делла Роббиа и Мино да Фьезоле, последним спонсором часовни Пацци,

turned the basilica into a museum of Florentine Trecento painting. The same artists also designed the wonderful luminous stained glass windows. When at last the church was finished in 1442, it was consacrated by Pope Eugene IV. The facade was left undecorated, in fact it was not completed until 1857-63, more or less at the same time as the Belltower was rebuilt to replace the original one which had been struck by lightning. New architectural additions were introduced thanks to the patronage of Cosimo “the Elder” de’ Medici and Andrea de’ Pazzi. The former had the Chapel of the Novitiate built next to the Sacristy in 1434-45 by Michelozzo and decorated by Andrea della Robbia and Mino da Fiesole; the latter sponsored the Pazzi Chapel, in the first cloister or Cloister of the Dead, designed by Filippo Brunelleschi and started in around 1430. Brunelleschi also designed the second Cloister of the Convent, or Greater Cloister, continued after his death by Bernardo Rossellino (1453 circa) with a fine entrance door (1450 circa) by Benedetto da Maiano. The Basilica also contains numerous examples of typically Renaissance sculpture. The most famous of these is the Crucifix by Donatello (1425, Bardi Chapel in the left transept) and his aristocratic Annunciation in grey stone with gilded highlights (1430-35), recently restored by the Opificio delle Pietre Dure. Nor should we forget the Pulpit by Benedetto da Maiano (1472-80) or the Madonna of Milk by Antonio Rossellino (1478), placed above the tomb of Francesco Nori, prior of the Republic and who died saving Lorenzo the Magnificent’s life at

Базилика также содержит многочисленные примеры типичной скульптуры эпохи Возрождения. Самой известным из них является распятие Донателло (1425, Барди Часовня , левый трансепт) и его аристократическoe «Благовещение» в сером камне с позолоченными надписями(1430-35), недавно восстановлен Музей Твердых камней. Не стоит также забывать Кафедру Бенедетто да Майано (1472-80) или Мадонна Молока Антонио Росселлино (1478), расположенные над могилой Франческо Нори, настоятеля Республики, который погиб, спасая жизнь Лоренцо Великолепного и "Заговор Пацци". Наконец, два погребальных памятника Бернардо Росселлино (1444-1451) и Дезидерио да Сеттиньяно (1455-64).

the time of the “Pazzi Conspiracy”. Lastly, the two funeral monuments by Bernardo Rossellino (14441451) and Desiderio da Settignano (1455-64). The former, dedicated to Leonardo Bruni (1369-1444), humanist and Chancellor of the Republic, is considered a prototype among Renaissance tomb monuments. The presence of a great many funeral monuments and tombstones (276 can still be seen on the floor alone) has led to the Basilca being thought of as the city Pantheon, the burial place of Florence’s most illustrious citizens. Somewhere here lie the tombs of Taddeo Gaddi and Count Ugolino della Gherardesca. Other famous inmates include Michelangelo (tomb by Vasari, 1570), Galileo Galilei (tomb by Foggini, 1737), Vittorio Alfieri (tomb by Canova, 1810). Unfortunately the monument to Dante, whose remains repose at Ravenna, is only a cenotaph (S. Ricci, 1829). The poet Ugo Foscolo described the church and its Tombs of the famous in his “Sepolcri”. Other tombs can be found in the first cloister, beneath the loggia attached to the church (the oldest), and in an undergound corridor. The latter form a complete range of Neoclassical and Romantic sculpture. The Cloister, which also contains the entrance to the Museum, can be reached directly from the square.

After admiring the view along the Arno from Ponte Santa Trinita, originally built in 1252 by a member of the Frescobaldi family and now a stone built reconstruction of Ammannati’s bridge (1567-70), destroyed in 1944, decorated with its ancient statues of Spring and Summer, at the Piazza S. Trinita's end, Autumn and Winter, on the south bank, make your way back along Via Maggio towards Piazza S. Felice. Walking down Via Maggio you will immmediately notice how wide it is compared to many streets of the centre. Originally called Via Maggiore, it was one of Florence’s principal medieval thoroughfares and used for official processions. Many of Florence’s aristocratic families owned houses in this street, among them, Bianca Cappello, mistress and later wife of Francesco I, who lived at n. 24-6. The palace originally belonged to the Corbinelli family and was restructured between 1570 and 1574 by Bernardo Buontalenti, who lived at n. 37. Another fine house is Palazzo Ricasoli-Firidolfi, built in the early 16th century in the manner of Baccio d’Agnolo, and boasting a beautiful internal courtyard in the style of Cronaca.

ОЛЬТРАРНО И САНТО СПИРИТО После того как вы насладились видом на Арно с моста Санта Тринита, пройдитесь по вия Маджо к пьяцца Сан Феличе . Вия Маджо, которая вначале называлась вия Маджоре была одной из основных улиц средневековой Флоренции и использовалась для главных официальных парадов. Многие дворянские семьи Флоренции имели дворцы на этой улице, знаменитой своими магазинами антиквариата, которые стоит посетить по пути. Дойдя до живописной площади Сан Феличе, можно лицезреть церковь Сан Феличе с фасадом Микелоццо (1457), одну из древнейших цервей

по эту сторону реки. Центр площади обозначен мраморной колонной , поставленной по приказу Козимо I . Следуйте дальше по вия Маццетта вдоль церкви к живописной площади Санто Спирито. Возрожденческий Палаццо Гуаданьи, построенный для семьи Деи в начале 1500 Кронака, вы увидите на углу между вия Мацетта и площади. Площадь Санто Спирито окружена дворцами с XV века и заканчивается прекрасным садом с центральным фонтаном. На этой площади вы можете почувствовать настоящую атмосферу богемы, между кафе, ресторанов и рыночком , который устраивают каждое утро. Можно сказать что это одно из самых популярных мест города. Церковь Санто Спирито находится в глубине площади. Ее простой отштукатуреный фасад является наиболее выразительным

Apart from the many fine houses in this street, it is also famous for its antique shops which are well worth investigating en route. It connects with Piazza Pitti by several narrow, but fascinating streets which hide more shops and several craft laboratories. Once in the pictoresque Piazza San Felice you can admire On the left the Church of San Felice with the facade by Michelozzo (1457); it is one of the oldest churches on this side of the Arno. Casa Guidi on the other side of the street, is where the poetess Elizabeth Barrett Browning lived with her husband Robert and later died, recorded by an epitaph over the door. The centre of the square is marked by a marble column, set up on the orders of Cosimo I. Now turn off into Via Mazzetta, which runs along one side of the church and leads into picturesque Piazza Santo Spirito. Renaissance Palazzo Guadagni, built for the Dei family in the early 1500’s, probably by Cronaca, stands on the corner between Via Mazzetta and the square. Piazza Santo Spirito is surrounded by 15th century palaces and com-

pleted by a pretty garden with a fountain in the centre. Sit down for a breather here at one of the open-air cafè’s or restaurants and enjoy the popular and rather bohemian atmoshere of the square. It is always a hive of activity, due partly to the area market which is held here every morning, but also to the fact that many Florentines still live and work here and it has not, as yet, been taken over by offices. The Church of Santo Spirito stands at the far end of the square. One would never guess, from its plain plastered façade, that it is one of the purest expressions of Renaissance architecture. It was designed and started between 1428 and 1444 by the great architect Filippo Brunelleschi, two years before his death, and completed by his students, Antonio Manetti and Salvi D’Andrea.

Santo Spirito square

The starkly imposing facade with its characteristic ‘orillons’ and elegant bell tower (Baccio d’Agnolo), closes off one end of the square. The three naves in the interior, on a Latin cross, are divided by elegant Corinthian columns, the chapels around the perimeter creating the typical chiaroscuro effect of Brunelleschi’s late style. The large cupola rises at the crossing between the transept and the main aisle. The interior contains works by Passignano, Filippino Lippi, Bernardo Rossellino, F. Botticini, C. Roselli, F. Granacci, Fra Bartolomeo, the Ghirlandaio family, and Cronaca. The octagonal Sacristy, designed by Giuliano da Sangallo and Simone del Pollaiolo, known as Cronaca, contains the ‘Crucifix’ in wood, a youthful work by Michelangelo. Stop off to visit the Museum and the splendid Last Supper by Andrea Orcagna at n. 29 (entrance at the side of the church). Now is a good time to explore the narrow streets around the square. Here dozens of workshops still use traditional methods and tools to ply their trades, crafts that elsewhere have died out, disappeared or become completely industrialised. Artisans like cobblers and shoemakers, jewellers, gold and silversmiths, antiquarians, restorers, workers in iron and other metals, upholsterers, embroiderers, picture framers, artists, bronze workers, tailors and costume makers, to name just a few, carry on the traditional crafts that have been passed down from father to son for centuries. Therefore, apart from souvenir hunting, the curious visitor can have the unique experience of watching objects being created just as they were in the past, another fascinating momento of his stay in Florence.

Tuscan Cuisine

Plain, simple and basic

Plain, simple and basic, the Tuscan cuisine needs little elaboration to be able to conquer new admirers. The care given to the quality of the basic ingredients is an essential part of Tuscan cultural traditions, still closely linked to country cooking and genuine products. You only need taste a slice of Tuscan bread soaked in olive oil to appreciate the essence of this cuisine. The locally produced extra-virgin oil is in fact of exceptional quality, wonderful whether cooked or raw, and accompanies almost all the most characteristic recipes in the region. A Tuscan style lunch starts with a meaty appetiser based on cold cuts (including savoury salted ham), and croutons, slices of toast spread with a paté made with chicken livers, spleen of veal, capers and butter. Traditional first courses include simple but delicious vegetable soups like the ‘pappa col pomodoro’, made with tomato, garlic, basil and pepper, or the ‘ribollita’, made with vegetables cooked for hours, the flavour brought out by a last minute topping of oil. Pappardelle (ribbon pasta) served with a hare sauce made with red wine, oil and tomato, is just one of the typical pasta dishes. The world famous Florentine steak, a special cut of prized Chianina beef, is a symbolic second course, though we should also include characteristic Tuscan tripe, flavoured with bacon, tomato and Parmesan. The most popular legumes are beans, cultivated here from Etruscan times and either cooked ‘all’uccelletto’ (in tomato sauce with sage) or in a wine flask. Like the soups, vegetables are almost always tossed in a frying pan with oil and garlic - spinach, artichokes, baby marrows - or fried, like, for example, the crunchy marrow flowers. Typical dishes in the summer months are the ‘pinzimonio’ or sliced fresh vegetable dip of oil, vinegar, salt and pepper, or classic fresh field salads.

Кухня Тосканы

Натуральная, простая и непосредственная кухня Тосканы нуждается в минимуме усилий, чтобы завоевать себе новых поклонников. Забота, которая уделяется отбору продуктов является основной характеристикой тосканских культурных традиций, которые до сих пор тесно связаны с деревенской манерой готовить и с продуктами, выращенными натуральными методами. Вам будет достаточно попробовать только ломтик тосканского хлеба с каплей оливкового масла, чтобы оценить сущность этой кухни. Обед в тосканском стиле начинается с мясных закусок, основанных на холодных нарезках и гренки, ломтики поджаренного на гриле хлеба с паштетом из куриной печенки, телячьей селезенки, каперсов и сливочного масла. Традиционные первые блюда включают в себя простой, но вкусный овощной суп, называемый «паппа аль помодоро», который приготавливается из помидоров, чеснока, базилика и перца, или «риболлита», который делается из вареных длительное время овощей, аромат которым придает добавка в последнюю минуту сырого оливкового масла. Паппарделле заправляемая соусом из зайца в красном вине, масла и томатов, — лишь одно из типичных блюд из пасты. Известный во всем мире флорентийский бифштекс из особой части ценной говядины сорта Кьянина является символическим вторым блюдом, куда мы можем добавить характерное тосканское блюдо из рубца, заправленное копченной грудинкой, томатами и пармезаном.

A corner of ancient Florence can be found between the Ponte Vecchio and the Pitti Palace that is full of craft workshops and beloved by artists and intellectuals. The Trattoria 4 Leoni, situated in Piazza della Passera, offers the sort of welcome that we would expect to find in the homes of old friends. The furnishings are in the typical Tuscan traditions, plain yet refined, with straw-bottomed chairs and marble-topped tables. Mine host Stefano Di Puccio is held in high esteem in the city for his sporting history as a player in the “Historic Florentine Football Matches”, but also for the genuine hospitality that can be found in his restaurant and for quality of his cooking. Platters in the true Tuscan tradition emerge from the kitchen, from the mythical Huge Fry-Up (fried chicken, rabbit and vegetables) and the steaks, always excellent, to the famous Impruneta Peposo (peppery stew) or the delicious 4 Leoni Salad; all of them dishes for gourmets! We must not forget to mention the desserts, all homemade, like the pear and chocolate cake, the apple tart or the cheese cake; or else there are the popular Prato Cantuccini (almond biscuits) to dip in the Holy Wine. The wines are all of excellent quality and can also be ordered by the glass. Outside dining under a white marquee and surrounded by pots of sweet-melling bay trees is possible in the summer months. The quality of the cooking, the care taken over details and service, together with the simple and genuine atmosphere, make the 4 Leoni a symbolic nightspot for all the Florentines and ... Piazza della Passera in the Spring is a really wonderful sight. Piazza della Passera Tel. 055.218562 www.4leoni.com

112

Trattoria Omero is one of the historic sites in Florentine catering. Its ideal position on the hill only five minutes from the city centre and its friendly and peaceful environment make it a meeting point for personalities of culture and the cinema. Its success is due to the quality of the cooking that offers traditional Tuscan dishes prepared with seasonal ingredients and cooked with wisdom and passion. The two large dining rooms are furnished in a traditional but elegant fashion with a large picture window over Florence that gives the restaurant a very special light... and on summer evenings it is possible to dine on the splendid terrace and enjoy an enchanting view over the hills. Trattoria Omero is a unique opportunity to enjoy moments of true pleasure at the table and enjoy excellently cooked but simple dishes. The menu follows the rhythm of the seasons, while the dishes are prepared using selected fresh produce of top quality and include fresh home made pasta, pappardelle with hare ragout, grilled meats, fried platters, Florentine steaks, specialities based on game, desserts, which are always home made, and many other delicacies. The Cantina houses over 300 selected wines: classic Italian and international wines and all the fines Tuscan labels. The service is attentive, friendly and never intrusive. Time seems to have stood still at Omero’s as, although the restaurant has stood here for decades, it still manages to keep its reputation and perhaps this is why its customers get attached to it and come back again and again, because they know they will always find original flavours and simplicity.
