From the Fleur de Lis to the David

Civic Art From the Middle Ages to the Renaissance

On display, works of art originally commissioned to decorate the public buildings of Florence which housed the powers running the city: the halls of the various Arti, or guilds, Palazzo Vecchio (once Palazzo dei Priori) and the city gates and walls. This exhibition offers visitors a new key to understand the works of art themselves, by underscoring the importance of images in the propaganda and communication strategy of the groups which ruled the city in the era of the Commune and the Republic, before the rise of the Medici family changed the city for good from both a political and an aesthetic standpoint. The dividing line between sacred and secular is often hard to detect. For instance, in the Palazzo dei Priori, one was just as likely to encounter depictions of the mythological hero Hercules (on the city's official seal) as one was of the biblical King David, whose statue by Michelangelo (now in the Galleria dell'Accademia) is recognized to be one of the main symbols of Florence. A selection of rare Renaissance drawings and a fresco showing the Expulsion of the Duke of Athens (from the former Stinche prison, but now in Palazzo Vecchio) illustrate the so-called Pittura Infamante, or Defamatory Painting, which consisted in commissioning murals in public places to depict, often in gruesome detail, either events or individuals viewed with hostility by the city of Florence. Images boding well, on the other hand, were set up in the marketplace, Donatello's statue of Abundance

famously perching atop a column in the Mercato Vecchio. While the original has now been lost, we are familiar with the statue from numerous copies produced over the centuries, the most famous today is probably the one located in Piazza della Repubblica. Also, the decoration of the city gates and the heraldry adorning the city walls provided the city fathers with another opportunity to celebrate Florence and its allies. The exhibition devotes special attention to the Arti, the driving force behind the economic boom which Florence enjoyed in the era of the Commune and the true political power in the city at the time. Membership of one of the guilds was a precondition for playing an active role in the city's political life. For the first time in two centuries, visitors will be able to admire in a single venue the entire collection of panels depicting the guilds' patron saints, originally adorned the pillars of Orsanmichele, in the area of Ponte Vecchio, the “bridge of jewellers.”

FROM MAY 14th

From the Fleur de Lis to the David academy gallery Via Ricasoli, 58-60 055.294883 unannoadarte.org

Эта выставка предлагает посетителям восприятие произведений искусства в новом ключе, подчеркивая важность стратегии пропаганды и коммуникации правящих групп города в эпоху средневековой коммуны и республики, перед приходом к власти семейства Медичи: событием, повлекшим за собой значительные изменения к лучшему как в политической, так и в культурной жизни города. Коллекция редких экземпляров живописи эпохи Возрождения, а также серии фресок, изображающих «Изгнание герцога Афинского», являющейся примером так называемой «позорящей живописи», сюжеты которой, события либо персонажи, описывались обычно с ужасающими подробностями и выставлялись напоказ специально в самых публичных местах города, чтобы вызывать враждебные чувства у жителей Флоренции. Позитивные сюжеты, в свою очередь, выставлялись на рыночных площадях, как, например статуя Изобилия руки Донателло, которая возвышается на колонне посреди Меркато Веккио. Несмотря на то, что оригинал был утерян, сама статуя хорошо известна благодаря многочисленным копиям, сделанным в различные столетия, самая известная из которых, пожалуй, та, что находится на Пьяцца делла Репубблика. Декор городских ворот и геральдика, украшающая городские крепостные стены, помогали отцам города превознести славу Флоренции и ее союзников. Выставка уделяет особое место изобразительному искусству, настоящему двигателю экономического подъема, охарактеризовавшего Флоренцию во времена к средневековой коммуны, послужившему рычагом в политической жизни города тех времен.

Florentine Landscapes

Pitti Fashion

Piazzale Michelangelo is famous all round the world for its wonderful view over the Florence, reproduced in countless postcards and an obligatory place for tourists to go when visiting the city. From here it dominates the city centre with the River Arno running through it and Ponte Vecchio just below, while Palazzo Vecchio, the Cathedral and the churches with their belltowers, stand out against the skyline.

Pitti International Fashion Fair once again confirms the level of its proposals, thanks to the presence of over 950 brand names, plus another 70 collections for women presented at the Customs House by Pitti W. The greatest fashion houses choose Pitti Uomo, W Precollection Women and Florence to present their collections and special projects in order to consolidate worldwide strategies at the beginning of the season.

Чтобы отметить тридцатилетнюю годовщину своей деятельности, Аннамария Каммилли открыла свой первый итальянский монобрендовый магазин 15 апреля прямо в центре Флоренции. Идеальная оправа для полного собрания всех коллекций Каммилли, включая последние новинки 2013-го года. Бренд также решил создавать некоторое количество своих эксклюзивных коллекций, которые будут продаваться только в этом фирменном бутике.

Pitti Uomo еще раз подтверждает свой высочайший уровень, благодаря наличию более 950 торговых брендов, плюс еще 70 женских коллекций, представленных на выставке на Pitti W. Патриция Уркиола, дизайнер, который представляет это издание Pitti Uomo , использовала большее число инновативных предложений , родившихся под влиянием новых Pop Up Stores.

Medici Chapels

Lungarni

Bargello

Florence’s riverfront, like the rest of the city, was fortified with walls and towers until well into the 15th century. Palazzo dei Giudici and Palazzo Spini-Feroni, built in 1290 for the Spini family, the Florentine wool merchants, who dominated this side of the bridge, are relics of the grim facades that once lined the Arno’s banks. Many palaces rose sheer from the river bed so that it was of course impossible to walk alongside the river as we can today.

The Bargello was built between 1255 and 1261 for the Captain of the People and was therefore once a symbol of authority and power. Its unknown architect took his inspiration from the Castle of the Counts Guidi at Poppi. The building later became the residence of the Podestà. However, in 1574, it was downgraded to become the headquarters of the Captain of Justice, the Bargello or head of the police force.

Аскетичное здание , в которой находятся Капеллы Медичей было создано как гигантский мавзолей ,вы можете найти спустившись со ступеней церкви Сан Лоренцо на площади Мадонны дей Альдобрандини . Они состоят из двух частей, одна из которых Новая Ризница созданная Микеланджело начиная с 1519 года, и большая Капелла дей Принчипи (капелла принцев), где покоятся Великие герцоги Тосканы и их семьи...

Набережные Флоренции, как и во всех остальных городах, были укреплены стенами и башнями, вплоть до начала 15 века. Палаццо деи Джудичи(ранее Кастеллани, а теперь музей науки) и Палаццо Спини-Феррони, построенный в 1290 году для семьи Спини, флорентийских торговцев шерстью, которые доминировали по эту сторону моста, выделяются мрачными фасадам, когда-то были зданиями банков.

Барджелло был построен в период между 1255-ым и 1261-ым годом для народного капитана и поэтому воплощал в себе символ власти и могущества. Неизвестный архитектор построил Барджелло, вдохновленный примером замка графского семейства Гуиди в Поппи. Позднее здание превратилось в резиденцию городничего и судебных заседателей. Однако, в 1574ом году было понижено в ранге и превратилось в штаб-квартиру капитана правосудия или барджелло, как тогда называли главу полицейского управления.

The brand has also decided to present a number of exclusive collections only to be found in this store: a not-to-bemissed indulgence that justifies a visit to the Florence boutique. And lastly and what is perhaps the real surprise for the brand’s most loyal followers: Annamaria has decided to display, here and for this occasion, her first form of artistic expression, painting. For the first time in the world, a selection of paintings by Annamaria Cammilli will be presented in store, all on canvas and boasting the artist’s signature in 18-carat gold and diamonds. The boutique is also an experience for the senses, rewarding eyes, nose and ears: soft music and timed atmospheric fragrance dispensers contribute to this encompassing shopping experience.

from Piazzale Michelangelo... Piazzale Michelangelo is famous for its wonderful view over the Florence, reproduced in countless postcards and an obligatory place for tourists to go when visiting the city. From here it dominates the city centre with the River Arno running through it and Ponte Vecchio just below, while Palazzo Vecchio, the Cathedral and the churches with their belltowers, stand out against the skyline. The city centre is enclosed by the surrounding hills, with the town of Fiesole in the north. The square itself, dedicated to Michelangelo, the great Renaissance artist, contains copies of some of his famous works still preserved in Florence: the David and the four allegories from the Medici Chapels in San Lorenzo. These copies are carried out in bronze, while the originals are all in white marble. The Piazzale or square can be reached by car along the tree-lined Viale Michelangelo or on foot by climbing up the monumental steps known as the Rampe del Poggi from Piazza Poggi in the quarter of San NiccolĂ˛, which is where the last stretch of mediaeval walls leaves to join up with Fort Belvedere, the fortress built in the late 16th century to defend Florence. May and June are ideal months for spending an afternoon at Piazzale Michelangelo, in fact, it is also pos-

sible to visit the Iris Gardens (until May 20) when its huge variety of magnificent irises is in full bloom, and the Rose Gardens planted with over 2.500 varieties of flowers. The latter is a green terrace with a breathtaking view equal in beauty to that from Forte Belvedere, today closed to the public. It displays a permanent exhibition of Folonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s works, a donation by his wife Paola Ghiringhelli after his premature death. The Rose Garden is open to the public all year round, from 9.00 am until sunset. Few steps ahead You can lie down on the lawns or leans on the walls to enjoy breathtaking views of the cupola of the Cathedral, of Florence and the Tuscan hills. Another panoramic beauty spot in the city, which can be reached on foot from Piazzale Michelangelo, is certainly the Basilica of San Miniato al Monte which rises up on the hill of the same name, one of the highest points in the city of Florence. The faĂ§ade of San Miniato is one of the masterpieces of Florentine Romanesque architecture, inspired by a solid and geometric classicism taken from the the marble inlay work to be found in the Roman monumental buildings. May and June are ideal months for spending an afternoon at Piazzale Michelangelo, in fact, it is also possible to visit the Iris Gardens and the Rose Gardens in this period, planted with over 2.500 varieties of flowers.

San Miniato the Façade in green and white marble and interior of the Church

... to San Miniato

Сан Миниато

The church of San Miniato al Monte was constructed sometime after the year 1000 on top of a pre-existent Oratory that had been built by St. Miniato, the first evangelizer and Christian martyr in Florence. Construction on the temple, one of the finest examples of pure Florentine Romanesque architecture, first started in 1018, thanks to Bishop Ildebrando, and continued until 1207. The facade was carried out in white Carrara and green Prato marble and divided into two orders linked together by rhombiform inlaid work, in allusion to the "opus reticolatum", the typical system used during the Roman Empire for building walls; it was also used by Leon Battista Alberti for the base of Palazzo Rucellai. The interior is divided into three naves, with a beautiful inlaid marble floor decorated with the Symbols of the Zodiac in the centre. The raised Presbitery is formed by a rare TuscanRomanesque sculptoral complex of classical inspiration: the altar, en

Церковь Сан Миниато аль Монте была построена примерно после 1000 года сверх уже существующего Оратория, который был построен Святым Миниато, первым евангелистом и христианским мучеником Флоренции. Строительство храма, одного из лучших образцов чистой флорентийско-романской архитектуры, впервые было начато в 1018 году, благодаря епископу Ильдебрандо, и продолжалось до 1207. Фасад был отделан белым каррарским и зеленого мрамором Прато (12-13-го века) и разделен на две части, связанные между собой ромбовидной инкрустацией, намекая на "опус ретиколатиум", типичную систему, используемую во времена Римской империи для строительства стен , которая была также использована Леон Баттиста Альберти в фундаменте Дворца Ручеллаи.

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, i nterior 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.

Pitti Uomo & Pitti W Fashion in Florence

Pitti immagine 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 W continues to keep ahead of the game by strategically launching previews, specific projects and capsule collections for women’s fashion at the beginning of the season when the buyers’ budgets have not yet been allocated. An event that brings to Florence increasingly specialized collections and targeted selections of accessories that are outstanding for their quality and detail as well as their attractive quality-price ratios. Pitti W aims to consistently offer proposals that are directed towards a high level target group of boutiques and stores with a high stylistic content. This is why the proposals continue to be across-the-board, from the world of fragrances to vintage, to contemporary jewelry.

Il Bisonte

Via del Parione, 31r Tel. +39.055.215722 www.ilbisonte.com

The craft laboratory of Il Bisonte opened in 1970 on the initiative of Wanny di Filippo in historic Palazzo Corsini in Via del Parione, between Via Tornabuoni and the Lungarno, right in the centre of Florence, and soon began producing handbags, bags, wallets, pocket books, belts and a variety of other accessories. Timeless objects carried out in the finest vacchetta leather, in other words, in natural vegetable-tanned hide that becomes increasingly beautiful as age and sunlight build up the patina on its surface. Over the years the company has grown considerably, while maintaining its extremely high level of quality and absolutely exclusive designs. Today Il Bisonte boasts a worldwide distribution. In spite of its expansion, the company has managed to keep its original style and the traditional craft characteristics of its brand intact. Il Bisonte, in collaboration with the Palazzo Strozzi Foundation, has created a new family kit for the exhibition “The Spring of the Renaissance. Sculpture and the arts in Florence 1400-60.” A real Sculptor's Satchel that invites the young visitors of the exhibit to discover and have, along with their families, new and intriguing tactile experiences through the museum’s path. Of all the arts, sculpture calls out to be touched. Museums famously forbid touching, and visitors must content themselves with touching with the eyes only. The Sculptor's Satchel has been designed to overcome this limitation, and to approach the art of sculpture in a different and enjoyable way that makes Touch the protagonist. A tactile experience starting from the bag, made of two different leathers: greased vegetable tanned cowhide and suede. The content also includes the sculptor's tools, a foulard for blindfolding, various sculptural materials and much more, thus creating a perfect balance between playing experience, education and entertainment.

Franco Dori Chef Concierge Grand Hotel Baglioni +39.055.23580 introduces

The austere construction that hosts the Medici Chapels, created by the family as a huge mausoleum, can be reached from the apse of the Church of San Lorenzo in Piazza Madonna degli Aldobrandini. It is composed of two main parts, the New Sacristy, built by Michelangelo from 1519, and the great Chapel of the Princes, where the Grand Dukes of Tuscany and their families are buried, which dates from a century later and is lined throughout with marble and semi-precious stones; the tour of the building also includes some rooms in the crypt (designed by Buontalenti) underneath the Chapel of the Princes. The Crypt is the first room to be reached from the museum entrance. The tombstones of the Grand Dukes, their wives and immediate family can be seen on the floor of this low vaulted room. A rich collection of 17th–18th century reliquaries linked to the magnificent grand ducal patronage has recently been arranged in a series of glass cases in this room. Two staircases lead from here up to the Chapel of the Princes

above. This sumptuous octagonal environment is 28 metres wide and topped by the cupola of San Lorenzo, which reaches a height of 59 metres, the second in grandeur in the city after the cupola by Brunelleschi. It was conceived by Cosimo I, but not carried out until later by his successor Ferdinando I, who, in 1604, commissioned the architect Matteo Nigetti to build it on a design by Don Giovanni de' Medici, who was also the Grand Duke’s brother. Buontalenti also intervened and partly altered the project. Its dazzling splendour comes from the rich inlay work typical of Florence, and the glorious Opificio delle Pietre Dure (Hard Stone Workshop) was created especially to carry it out. This typically Florentine form of art is still practiced, especially for the decoration of furniture and vases,

and reached its greatest heights here, even though the funereal key of the work meant using the more subdued and sombre colours of porphyry and granite. More colourful stones were instead used for the wainscoting, together with mother-of-pearl, lapis lazuli and coral, in order to reproduce the coats of arms of the sixteen Tuscan cities loyal to the Medici family. The niches were supposed to contain statues of the Grand Dukes, but only those of Ferdinando I and

Cosimo II were actually carried out, both of them by Pietro Tacca between 1626 and 1642. The other grand ducal tombs belong to Cosimo I (1519-1574), Cosimo II (the successor of Ferdinando I, 15901621) and Cosimo III (who succeeded Ferdinando II, 1643-1723). The sarcophagi are really empty and the real remains of the Grand Dukes and their families (about fifty major and minor figures), up to Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici (the last heir of the dynasty, 16671743), are preserved in simple environments behind the walls of the crypt by Buontalenti. The New Sacristy was built in various stages by Michelangelo between 1521 and 1534 and can be reached along a corridor from the Chapel of the Princes. Michelangelo based his design on the same plan that Brunelleschi had used for the Old Sacristy though he divided the area into more complex shapes, with triumphal arches opening out onto apse-like spaces. He created recesses in the two side walls to hold the monumental tombs dedicated to Giuliano Duke of Nemours and his nephew Lorenzo Duke of Urbino, carrying out three sculptures dedicated to the Allegories of Time for each of them; these were placed on top of the tombs with portraits of the Dukes above. He chose the subject of Day and Night for the tomb of Giuliano deâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Medici, seated, with a proud bearing; and Dawn and Dusk for that of Lorenzo, shown in a mel-

ancholy and thoughtful pose. Both the statues look towards the centre of the chapel where Michelangelo carried out and placed a Madonna with Jesus on her lap. By looking towards the sacred likeness, the dukes express the religious inclinations of the artist, who believed that only spirituality and religion can give relief and set manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind at ease when all earthly glories are past. The decoration of the chapel is completed by the statues of Sts. Cosmas and Damian by students of Michelangelo. Lorenzo the Magnificent and his brother Giuliano de' Medici are buried under the altar as Michelangelo never found the time to build them a monumental tomb, in fact, he left Florence forever in 1534, leaving the chapel uncompleted.

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 towards 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 “history” 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.

Lungarni

Florence’s Riverfront

Florence’s riverfront, like the rest of the city, was fortified with walls and towers until well into the 15th century. Palazzo dei Giudici (formerly Castellani and now the Science Museum) and Palazzo Spini-Feroni, built in 1290 for the Spini family, the Florentine wool merchants, who dominated this side of the bridge, are relics of the grim facades that once lined the Arno’s banks. Many palaces rose sheer from the river bed so that it was of course impossible to walk alongside the river as we can today. However a Lungarno, or street along the Arno, already existed in the Massimo Parlanti late 13th century between the Ponte alle Grazie and Palazzo dei Giudici, Head Concierge Florence Complex in order to provide access to the cloth drying shed in Santa Croce. The neo-classical Borsa stands on the site today but we can still see the steps THE ST. REGIS in front that once led down to the river. The short stretch between the THE WESTIN Ponte Vecchio and Palazzo Spini-Ferroni was paved in 1472. All the other EXCELSIOR streets parallel to the Arno were internal passageways. Built in the 19th introduces

Набережные Арно Набережные Флоренции, как и во всех остальных городах, были укреплены стенами и башнями, вплоть до начала 15 века. Палаццо деи Джудичи(ранее Кастеллани, а теперь музей науки) и Палаццо Спини-Феррони, построенный в 1290 году для семьи Спини, флорентийских торговцев шерстью, которые доминировали по эту сторону моста, выделяются мрачными фасадам, когда-то были зданиями банков. Многие дворцы были построены так близко к руслу реки, что невозможно было пройти вдоль реки, как это мы можем сделать сегодня. Однако набережные вдоль реки Арно, уже существовали в конце 13 века между Понте алле Грацие и Палаццо деи Джудичи для того, чтобы обеспечить доступ к зданию, где прослушивалась ткань на площади Санта-Кроче. Здание Биржы, построенное в неокласси-

ческом стиле, является одним из украшений набережных. Часть набережной между Понте Веккио и Палаццо СпиниФеррони была вымощена в 1472 году. Все остальные улицы, проходившие параллельно реке Арно соединялись внутренними проходами. Построенная в 19 веке, Набережная Серристори, например, когдато была каналом (Ла Мулина), а Набережная Торриджани начиналась с крошечной церкви Санта-Мария СопраАрно (над рекой Арно) в конце Виа деи Барди. Древние башни домов были постепенно , начиная с 15-го века,

century, Lungarno Serristori, for instance, was once a canal (la Mulina), while Lungarno Torrigiani was a field with the tiny Church of S. Maria sopr’Arno at the Via dei Bardi end. The ancient tower houses were gradually replaced by patrician palaces, with open loggias and large windows, from the 15th century onwards. Note pretty Palazzo Coverelli, whose architect is unknown, on Lungarno Guicciardini. The little street beside it (Via del Presto S. Martino) was once known as Via dei Pizzicotti (Pincher’s Alley) because the local yobs used to pinch anyone who ventured into the alley! Right opposite, the bank is dominated by the golden-yellow façade of Palazzo Corsini, built in grandiose Baroque style by Pier Francesco Silvani and Antonio Ferri between 1648 and 1656. The river and its bridges were used for staging festivities of various kinds from the Middle Ages onwards. The spectacle of the Inferno, organised by the ward of S. Frediano in May 1304 was performed between the Ponte S. Trinita and the Ponte alla Carraia. There were so many spectators on the Ponte alla Carraia that it collapsed with a heavy loss of life. Three centuries later, on New Year’s Eve, a festival on ice was given on the same stretch of river, with decorated sleds, madrigals and the nobility decked out in exotic costumes. Another epic spectacle was the Argonauta, staged for the marriage of Cosimo II. The Arno between the same two bridges was transformed into a giant theatre with grandstands set up along the Lungarni so

заменены дворцами Патрициев, с открытыми лоджиями и большими окнами. Обратите внимание на Палаццо Коверелли, работы неизвестного архитектора, на Набережной Гвиччардини. Улочка, находящаяся рядом, (Виа дель Престо Сан Мартино) был когда-то известна как Виа дей Пиццикотти (Аллея Щипков) потому, что местные бездельники, пытались ущипнуть того, кто решился пройтись по аллее! Прямо напротив преобладает золотисто-желтый фасад палаццо Корсини, построенный в стиле барокко архитекторами Пьером Франческо и Антонио Сильвани Ферри между 1648 и 1656 годами. Реки и мосты Флоренции были использованы в качестве сценической площадки для постановки различного вида праздников, зрелищ и представлений, как например « at the top:

that the public could watch Jason’s capture of the Golden Fleece, while Cosimo’s bride was presented with six apples, symbolic of the Medici coat of arms. Marvellously decorated boats were transformed into a fire-breathing hydra, a peacock and a dolphin and an artificial island was set up in the middle of the river. The last great performance on the Arno was a fireworks display from the Ponte alla Carraia for the Feast of St. John, though in 1870 this display was transferred

to Giuseppe Poggi’s newly created Piazzale Michelangelo. It would be nice to see a return of such events on the Arno, especially in the summer when the gentle evening breeze brings a pleasant respite to the heat of the day. It is possible to take short boat trips (ask the Renaioli - tel. 347.7982356 www. renaioli.it) and often small performances (music, poetry readings, even short plays) are included. The frivolous events of the past however were quite another thing.

Inferno» (ад), организованный отделением Сан Фредиано в мае 1304 года, которое было представлено между Понте Санта Тринита и Понте алла Каррийа. На представлении было так много зрителей на Понте алла Каррайа, что он рухнул под их тяжестью, спровоцировав множество человеческих жертв. Три века спустя, в канун Нового года, на том же самом месте был устроен праздник на льду, с участием украшенных саней, пением мадригалов в честь знати и маскарадом в экзотических костюмах. Другое эпическое зрелище — Аргонавты было поставлено в день бракосочетания Козимо II. Река Арно между теми же двумя мостами была превращена в гигантский театр с трибунами установленными вдоль набережных, чтобы общественность могла наблюдать спектакль о Золотом Руно, в то время как невеста

Козимо предстала перед ним с шестью яблоками, символом семьи Медичи и оружием. Чудным образом украшенные лодки превращались в огнедышащих гидр, павлинов и дельфинов, на середине реки был создан искусственный остров. Последним крупным выступлением на реке Арно был фейерверк от Понте алла Каррайа в честь праздника Святого Иоанна, хотя в 1870 году эта улица была перестроена

архитектором Джузеппе Поджи. Было бы приятно видеть возвращение таких традиций на реке Арно, особенно летом, когда легкий вечерний ветерок приносит приятную свежесть в жару. В последнее время на набережных часто проводят небольшие спектакли (музыкальные, поэтические вечера, постановки коротких пьес), которые, к сожалению, не могут сравниться с зрелищными шоу прошедших веков.

an Idea of BEauty

The Springtime of the Renaissance The exhibition proposes to illustrate, in theme-based sections, the origin of what is still known today as the "miracle" of the Renaissance in Florence, doing so principally through masterpieces of sculpture, the branch of figurative art in which that new season first saw the light of day. Thus, arranged around the city's absolute symbol – the wooden model of Brunelleschi's Cupola for Santa Maria del Fiore – the exhibition offers a retrospective of sculpture that was also to have a crucial impact on the development of the other figurative arts. Until AUGUST 18th La mostra si propone di illustrare, in sezioni tematiche, la genesi di quello che ancora oggi si definisce il “miracolo” del Rinascimento a Firenze, soprattutto attraverso capolavori di scultura: l’arte che per prima se ne è fatta interprete. Attorno al simbolo assoluto della città, rappresentato dal modello ligneo della Cupola di Santa Maria del Fiore, si presenta dunque una rassegna di tipologie e di tematiche scultoree determinanti anche per l’evoluzione delle altre arti figurative, a diretto confronto con i precedenti classici. fino al 18 AGOSTO palazzo strozzi - Piazza Strozzi, 1 055.2645155 www.palazzostrozzi.org

The changes that the advent of the Napoleonic Empire introduced to the government of Tuscany were also reflected in the arts. The factory at Doccia played a prominent part in this new artistic fervour, absorbing the French influences for its research into new forms and decorative elements. In particular, under the enlightened direction of Carlo Leopoldo Ginori Lisci (1792-1838), the factory embraced the important technical and stylistic innovations from France, thus creating a form of decoration that remained in vogue right up until the third decade of the 19th century. Until JUNE 23th Il cambiamento che l'avvento dell'impero napoleonico portĂ˛ nel governo della Toscana ebbe i suoi riflessi nelle discipline artistiche. In questo nuovo fervore artistico, la manifattura di Doccia ebbe un posto di rilievo, accogliendo importanti influssi francesi sia nella ricerca delle forme che nei moduli decorativi. In particolare, la manifattura, sotto l'illuminata direzione di Carlo Leopoldo Ginori Lisci (1792-1838) fu partecipe di importanti innovazioni tecniche e stilistiche provenienti dalla Francia, creando una tipologia decorativa che rimase in voga fino a tutto il terzo decennio del XIX secolo. fino AL 23 GIUGNO

Bargello

Palace, Prison & Museum The Bargello was built between 1255 and 1261 for the Captain of the People and was therefore once a symbol of authority and power in Florence. Its unknown architect (or architects) took his inspiration from the Castle of the Counts Guidi at Poppi and the same design was used for almost all the town halls in Tuscany. The building later became the residence of the Podestà (1261) and other magistrates. However, in 1574, it was downgraded to become the headquarters of the Captain of Justice, the Bargello or head of the police force. It served this purpose for three centuries, earning itself a sorry fame as a prison but, after the Risorgimento, it was completely restored, becoming the National Museum in 1865. The high battlemented tower, known as the Volognana, was built in the 12th century as a private tower house. The splendid inner courtyard, with its arched porticoes and 14th to 16th century coats of arms, has retained all its original mediaeval aspect. The staircase on one side is by Neri di Fioravante, closed off by an iron gate attributed to Giuliano da Sangallo. The fine Hall of the General Council, also designed by Neri di Fioravante, now the Hall of Donatello, contains many works by the great Florentine sculptor, among them the bronze ‘David’ (1430 ca.), the first nude of the Renaissance, made for Cosimo the Elder, and the St. George carried out for Orsanmichele. Apart from sculptures by Desiderio da Settignano, Michelozzo and Verrocchio and ceramics by Luca della Robbia, the museum also contains works in bronze by Giambologna and Benvenuto Cellini, as well as the two bronze panels by Ghiberti and Brunelleschi for the competition of 1401 for the North Door of the Baptistery, won by Ghiberti. The Michelangelo Room contains the great sculptor’s Bacchus, Pitti Tondo, David Apollo and the Bust of Brutus, together with works by Jacopo and Andrea Sansovino, Ammannati, Baccio Bandinelli and Tribolo. The Chapel of Santa Maria Maddalena (frescoes by the school of Giotto), on the first floor, has only recently been restored and opened to the public. The museum also contains paintings, majolicas, gold and silverware, weapons and ivories from various collections.

Барджелло

Барджелло был построен между 1255 и 1261 и являлся символом власти и силы во Флоренции. Его неизвестный архитектор (или архитекторы) черпал вдохновение из замка графов Гуиди Поппи . Этот же дизайн был использован для почти всех ратуш в Тоскане. Позже это здание стало резиденцией Верховного судьи (1261) и других магистратов. Тем не менее, в 1574 году, он потерял былой престиж и стал штаб-квартирой капитана юстиции, Барджелло или главы полиции. Он служил этой цели в течение трех столетий, заработав себе, к сожалению, славу тюрьмы, но после Возрождения, он был полностью восстановлен, став Национальным музеем в 1865 году. Высокая зубчатая башня, известные как Волоньяна, была построена в 12 веке в качестве частного дома. Великолепный внутренний двор с арочными портиками и 14-го по 16-го века и гербами, сохранил свой оригинальный средневековый аспект. Лестница с одной стороны которая является работой Нери ди Фиораванте, заканчивается железными воротами, предположительно работы Джулиано да Сангалло. Зал Генерального Совета,который сейчас называется залом Донателло, также разработан Нери ди Фиораванте , содержит много произведений великого флорентийского скульптора, среди которых бронзовый "Давид" (1430 прим.), первое изображение обнаженного тела эпохи Возрождения, сделано для Козимо Старшего, и Св. Георгия для внешнего украшения Орсанмикеле.

Trattoria 4 Leoni

Трактир 4 львов находится на площади делла Пассера рядом с Дворцом Питти и окунает вас в обстановку исконно тосканского стиля, простого но рафинированного. Хозяин, Стефано ди Пуччио, известен в городе как игрок в «Исторический Флорентийский Футбол» и благодаря высококачественной кухне, которая предлагает традиционные блюда тосканы, такие как курица в кляре, кролик с овощами, незабываемые бифштексы и знаменитый Пепозо из Импруньеты ( пиккантное жаркое). Все дессерты сделаны на кухне ресторана, вина можно дегустировать бокалами. В летнее время можно поесть на открытом воздухе.

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

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.
