change?

Wanted in Rome | 3 July 2013
hy are we changing format? We know already that some of you won’t like it because it’s a break with tradition, it’s not what you have always known and – after all – A4 was/is such a useful format. But others will like it, perhaps younger readers, perhaps the more daring, perhaps those who are prepared to take a chance on the ever-changing world of media where we are all still looking for answers… paper, internet, Facebook, Twitter, and whatever may come next? But the answer for the change is easy enough to find. In that unforgettable phrase from Il Gattopardo by Lampedusa: “Everything needs to change so that everything can stay the same.” Or look at it in another more mundane way. Move the furniture around in a room and suddenly the whole place looks different; old pieces take on a new look, the sun shines on different things and above all you can sweep out dust from under the frayed carpet or creaky cupboard. That’s basically what we are doing. There was certainly a lot of dust when we moved from Via Falegnami to Via di Monserrato 49, dust and mountains of paper, not surprisingly. But even after only a month in the new office plenty of good things have happened. First of all we only have to walk out of the door to have either a leisurely coffee at Caffè Perù next door or an aperitivo in Piazza Farnese looking up at the French embassy… what better places to do business and meet our friends? We have re-discovered so many “old” friends walking down Via di Monserrato whom we hadn’t seen for ages.
Then we have discovered that when we put the copies of Wanted in Rome and the Ex-pat Guide to Rome outside the door they go like hot cakes. Maybe because readers pick them up free (although in theory they should still pay!) which is just to prove the point… we have in a way gone back to our roots when we started out as a free sheet nearly three decades ago. One new customer picked up a copy without paying, went off down the road and then half an hour came back with €1, saying that she hadn’t realised until she looked at the cover that the magazine wasn’t free. She stayed to chat and of course has now become a firm friend. But just to set the record straight (you may be getting very confused with all our changes) we are not contemplating going back to being a free sheet. Nor are we changing the other essentials of the paper edition: articles, What’s On, classified advertising and the solid base of our local and always very loyal display advertisers. So basically what we have done is to change in order to stay the same. Nearly 30 years (we started in 1985) is a long time in the media business, although only a blink of an eye in the time-scale of the Eternal City. We are now handing over to a new generation, those who were only toddlers (or not even born) when we first started. We oldies
(or the post-war baby boomers) have the wisdom (not to be undervalued, as our new pope has told us), but the young have the ideas and the daring. Italy, and the rest of Europe for that matter, badly needs new ideas, new daring, new adventures, new risks. The oldies have been basking for too long in the innovations of the 1960s, the rebellion and reforms of Sessantotto and the economic boom (and the busts) of the years that followed. Now it is time to hand over. So if you ask us why we have decided on a new format after all these years… that’s why.

THE CONDOMINIUM HANDBOOK
Following condominium rules and neighbourly courtesy should lead to an improved communal living experience
E
very one of us is unique; we have our own beliefs, customs and habits which contribute to the richness and diversity of the world we live in, but even in family situations these can be the source of stress, disturbance and conflict. So one can imagine what this is like in a situation when we can’t choose our neighbours, but are inevitably forced to live under the same roof. The law in Italy tries to reduce the potential for conflict, in that where there are ten or more residents in a building or condominium, under article 1138 of the Italian Civil Code (Codice Civile) it is a legal obligation that a set of rules exist for defining the rights and duties of each occupant, whether owner or tenant, to ensure orderly co-existence. These rules stem partially from municipal laws (which cannot be changed by residents) and partially from mutually decided regulations voted upon at residents’
meetings (which can be revised or deleted by means of a majority vote at a condominium meeting). The code also states that a condominium is to be administered either by a professional administration company, in which case the residents still constitute the committee, or residents elect an administrator from their ranks. The administrator takes on the responsibility for the financial management as well as the running of the everyday functions of the condominium. A general meeting is convened annually by the administrator to: – elect a new administrator or approve a further term of the existing administrator; – approve the annual running cost estimates; – approve the annual report of the previous year submitted by the administrator; – approve extraordinary maintenance; – review the rules.
Any extraordinary general meeting is convened when the administrator deems it necessary or when requested by at least two residents whose property represents at least one-sixth of the value of the building. It is therefore important to familiarise oneself with all the relevant rules of an apartment block or complex before signing a rental or purchase agreement. We have sourced the most commonly found rules from a number of condominiums throughout Italy. Keep in mind that each condominium may have its own particular rules which are not listed here. Destination of use. It is forbidden to use the apartments for activities other than residency or private professional offices without the prior authorisation of the residency meeting. Any use that is in contrast to the municipal 3 July 2013 | Wanted in Rome

rules of hygiene, town planning, urban policing and fire brigade regulations is also forbidden. Moving of furniture and other objects. It is forbidden to cause damage to walls, stairs or windows when transporting furniture and objects in and out of the building. Damage will be repaired at the expense of the tenant or owner. If you are using a removal company when moving, have a clause in your contract which states that the company will be liable for damages caused by its staff. Signs and name-plates. The affixation of signs and professional plates in the entrance and on the stairs or balconies is subordinate to the authorisation of the administrator. Construction and variations. It is forbidden to tamper with or modify the communal parts of the water, gas, heating, television aerial, water purification and rainwater drainpipe systems. It is forbidden to carry out any works that may compromise the loadbearing structure of the building and any works that alter its architectural appearance. It is forbidden to build on terraces or balconies. It is forbidden to install awnings or windows without the prior approval of the residents’ meeting regarding the type, colour and features of the fixtures. Communal areas. It is forbidden to occupy the stairs, vestibule, gardens or paths with movable objects such as bicycles, pushchairs and motorcycles, or temporary constructions such as gazebos and umbrellas. By prior authorisation it is permitted to use communal

do not allow the walking of dogs in the communal gardens.
space when carrying out works in an apartment, provided this is limited to the indispensable time and space and does not prevent others from using these spaces. Rules regarding the use of communal gardens vary, so especially if you have children check on whether they are allowed to play in communal gardens. Some complexes
Vehicles. It is forbidden to leave vehicles parked on communal footpaths, access ramps or basement areas. If you have a designated parking slot, you have the right to get permission from the administrator to install a collapsible locking pole to reserve your parking. It is forbidden to park vehicles fitted with an LPG fuel system in covered areas of the apartment block. Lifts. It is forbidden for unaccompanied children to use the lift. Some condominiums do not allow transporting heavy goods, baggage or animals in lifts.
side notes
▶ Children. Parents are responsible for the supervision of their children and should ensure that they do not cause disturbance or damage communal areas. It is advisable not to reprimand other people’s children, as this often leads to conflict; rather take up any behavioural issues with the administrator. ▶ Animals. Some condominiums forbid animals altogether, so if you have a domestic pet check this ruling before choosing a flat. Most condominiums generally accept domestic pets as long as they do not cause disturbances at night. Polite habits. It is forbidden to hang washing from street-facing balconies or windows; it should be hung within the confines of your balcony. It is forbidden to place pot plants on exterior window sills and parapets of balconies, and balcony baskets should be hung on the interior of your balcony railing. Avoid dropping water from plants or washing over your balcony. Avoid wearing high heeled shoes in your apartment late at night. When disputes arise between residents it is advisable to avoid direct confrontation but rather to try to resolve the disagreement amicably through the administrator. Mediation is however no longer obligatory in Italy and one can directly consult a lawyer for assistance. Severe non-compliance with rules that infringe on the civil rights of others
may lead to the intervention of local authorities and the police with the consequences of civil charges and/or eviction. A new law came into force on 18 June this year which covers, among other things, innovations that were not included previously, such as solar panels, electricity generating windmills, advanced video satellite television receivers and security cameras. Studio Legale Annino www.annino-lawfirm.com Future topics in this series will cover inheritance, insurance and accidents, and health. We also welcome any suggestions that readers may have. Please send these either to editorial@wantedinrome.com or directly to avv.annino@libero.it. Previous articles in the series: Buying property in Italy on 3 April, Italian criminal trials on 8 May, Renting in Italy on 5 June.
▶ Disturbing the peace and noise. It is forbidden to disturb neighbours with excessive noise caused by electric or electronic appliances, musical instruments or vehicles. These activities, provided they do not cause disturbance, are usually permitted from 09.00 to 22.00. In keeping with the tradition of the Italian siesta, most condominiums apply rest hours from 14.00-16.00. ▶ The weird and wonderful. We did come across some rather weird and wonderful rules such as forbidding the slaughter of animals in apartments, and various others forbidding urination and prostitution. Our advice is to avoid such a condominium completely: they wouldn’t have rules like that if it weren’t a problem!

painters and poets
Comments by some of Italy’s leading 20th-century literary figures on paintings from the same period are on show at Rome’s Galleria d’Arte Moderna
T
ake six 20th-century writers, all Roman by adoption if not birth – two of them Nobel laureates, another a close also-ran – each with his circle of painter friends. Add touch-screen technology for easy access to biographies, photos and manuscripts, and you have an exhibition with a difference. Nor do the paintings need any external guide, as this is provided by the writers themselves: many of the pictures come twinned with comments that could hold their own in any book of quotes.
The first room is dedicated to poet / priest / playwright / aviator / daredevil / demagogue Gabriele D’Annunzio. Tingeing Enrico Coleman’s picture of Speculum Dianae, Lago di Nemi is the poet’s correspondingly coloured prose: “purplish and green, grim, silent, amidst the great rustlings of the woods, varying according to the vicissitudes of light...” D’Annunzio also prided himself on being an internationally-famous tombeur de femmes. With Innocenti’s La Sultana his pen again stirs into action: “The sight of
Comizio by Giulio Turcato in the Moravia room.
that living flesh, seeping out of the fur like a mass of white roses, etc, etc.” Nearby Discovolo’s Sleeping Nymph flaunts some of the lushest azure and turquoise this side of Avalon. Paint, like D’Annunzio’s verbiage, is also laid on thick in Pigna’s Frigidarium: “Picture as jewellery”, to paraphrase the poet. More nymphs, two swans, lavish marble, a jungle-suggestive plant – like some Pre-Raphaelite throwing
puritanism to the winds and veering toward Gustav Klimt. In the next room the atmosphere changes. Here artistic and other types of devotion are invested in the everyday object and/or the machine. One wall features modernistically-lit still lifes from the 1920s – Melli, Trifoglio, and then Trombadori, whose asparagus almost tumbles into your mouth. 3 July 2013 | Wanted in Rome

art at the front and read, complete with tentative crossings out, his poems consigned to the backs of postcards and delivered to posterity by a fellow soldier returning home on leave.
Detail from the Medici Tombs by Tano Festa, after Michelangelo.
“The magic revealed in the daily life of things,” to cite Bontempelli, the least well-known of the six writers. The other walls proclaim Futurism’s love-affair with the machine. A speedboat’s wake metamorphoses into brilliant parquet-like arabesque. Then there are several examples of Aeropittura – before Guernica and world war two undermined its mystique, a branch of Futurism where artist and easel took to the air. Here the texts are by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, the founder of Futurism. If the Futurists aligned themselves with Fascism, Giuseppe Ungaretti – to be seen strolling through the Garbatella district as late as the 1960s – came
10

to distance himself from it. Many of Ungaretti’s Roman artist friends condemned the regime outright. Mario Mafai has a painting of the so-called Demolizioni. Private homes, ripped apart to make way for the regime’s projects of self-aggrandisement, are depicted with inner walls gaping like brightly-coloured entrails. In a series of paintings by the same artist ten years later, the victims are this time human. Equally prophetic is Scipione’s Il Cardinal Decano, particularly when accompanied by Ungaretti’s comment: “the feeling of horror at a world without God, of the departure of goodness...” Thanks to the touch-screen, in the same room, one can scroll in seconds through Ungaretti’s three years
The most telling match between word and image, however, is in the Luigi Pirandello room. Rather than comment following the painting, here it is other way round: post-dating Pirandello’s words alongside, the paintings seem to comment, in oil or gouache, on the quotes. “Loneliness is never with you, it is always without you, and only when there is stranger around.” So in Casorati’s Susanna, a woman sits naked, her gaze at a desolate diagonal. The said stranger, client, whoever, pins her with an anonymous stare, his hand reaching over the chair-back like a claw. On the floor is a copy of La Gazzetta dello Sport. Breveglieri’s Le Sorelle illustrates another favourite Pirandello obsession: “You cannot at the same time see yourself and see that someone else is looking at you in the same mirror.” The Pirandellian contrast between appearance and reality is again taken up by Bertoletti’s Saltimbanchi. As they rest between acts, the male acrobat’s eyes have turned to egg-white; the female, for all her muscularity, recalls Masaccio’s Eve expelled from Eden. Melli’s Portrait of Signora Maria Genovesi incorporates Pirandello’s view of the comical: “I see an elderly woman with dyed hair, all made up in ungainly fashion, clad in youthful attire ...I burst out laughing... I feel that the old woman is the contrary of what an old lady should be... Comedy is the sensation of opposites.” The last room fast-forwards us into the 1960s, a Velvet Underground track as background, the atmosphere more reminiscent of New York than Rome. “Both creator and craftsman, the painter is always an artist, the writer is so only sometimes,” writes Alberto Moravia. His friendship with painters

is attested by five portraits – one also in wood, two by Carlo Levi, more famous for the memoir Christ Stopped at Eboli. Moravia as writer but also as art critic: “Clerici appears to express a final judgement on civilisations born of the sand of time... which glimmer then disappear. Mirages, castles, towers and cities become thickets... which in turn discolour into reflections, then nothing...” In sturdier black and white are the touch-screen photos of Moravia on holiday with Pasolini and other figures of the period, in Morocco and India. “Only connect,” said E.M. Forster. This exhibition celebrates exactly that, the floor of one side-room also being a map of the galaxy of cafés and theatres, where the artists above would meet and exchange ideas. Legami e corrispondenze. Incontri, letture, spettacoli. Until 29 September. All paintings are from the collection of the Galleria Comunale d’Arte Moderna, Via Francesco Crispi 24, tel. 060608. The Galleria Comunale d’Arte Moderna was founded in 1925 to house the city’s growing collection of 19th-20th century Italian art. Its 3,000-piece collection includes paintings, sculptures, drawings and engravings. It displays part of it in alternating exhibitions across the building’s three floors.
SIX AUTHORS Gabriele D’Annunzio, 1863-1938. Poet, journalist, dramatist and soldier, D’Annunzio’s literary work is regarded as having influenced the ideals behind Fascism and Mussolini.

Joyce and Rilke were on its editorial board and Virginia Woolf was a contributor. In 1956 Bontempelli won the Strega Prize for his book L’amante fedele. Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, 1876-1944. Poet and dramatist, Marinetti is best known for the Futurist Manifesto of 1909 and as an early supporter of Fascism. Giuseppe Ungaretti, 1888-1970.

THE AGE OF MODERNITY: HUNGARIAN PAINTING 1905-1925 25 June-15 September On the occasion of the HungarianItalian Year of Culture, the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna (GNAM), in collaboration with the National Gallery in Budapest, presents over 100 Hungarian Modernist works including paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures. The works on show represent the polar opposites of Hungary’s art from that era: the artists who sought out and embraced cutting-edge foreign influences, and the others who maintained close contact with indigenous traditions and local folklore. The exhibition focuses in particular on eight Neo-impressionist painters from the school of Nagybánya (in modern-day Romania) who broke ranks by exchanging the academic for the avant-garde.

EMILIO ISGRÒ: MODELLO ITALIA 20 June-06 October This exhibition is divided into two sections: the first comprises the most important installations made by Emilio Isgrò during the past four years since his retrospective in Prato in 2008; the second displays the Sicilian artist’s major works from earlier in his career. The exhibition demonstrates the modernity of the artist’s early work and the close relations it has with his most recent creations, continuing and expanding themes he explored in the 1960s and 1970s. Chief among these themes is Isgrò’s belief that it is the duty of Italian artists to reassert Italy’s international
THOMAS HOUSEAGO 04 June-26 July The Gagosian Gallery Rome presents an exhibition of new Roman Figures by English sculptor Thomas Houseago. The Los Angeles-based artist is known for his monumental figures layered with cultural, mythological and art-historical references, all created using materials associated with classical and modernist sculpture, such as wood, plaster and bronze. Gagosian Gallery, Via Francesco Crispi 16, tel. 0642746429, www.gagosian.com. VENICE BIENNALE 01 June-24 November The 55th Venice Biennale takes place at the historic Giardini and Arsenale as well as at various venues throughout the city. This year’s event is curated by Massimiliano Gioni and is titled The Encyclopedic Palace, inspired by ItalianAmerican artist Marino Auriti’s concept of an encyclopaedic museum of world culture in Washington DC that would be 136 stories tall and cover 16 city blocks. Highlighting the more-than 150 artists from 137 countries, whose work spans a century, Gioni states: “the exhibition is structured like a temporary museum that initiates an inquiry into the many ways in which images have been used to organise knowledge and shape our experience of the world.” Some of the best known artists include Nauman, Sherman and Serra while there are also a number of more obscure and younger artists from around the world. There is a significant amount of participating artists from the US, UK (mainly with a solo exhibition by Jeremy Deller but also with work by Scottish and Welsh artists), Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Poland, as well as further afield destinations such as Pakistan, Senegal, Nigeria, Argentina and Japan. A novelty this year is the first-ever pavilion by the Vatican that will feature three themes and three artists; Creation by Studio Azzurro, Destruction by photographer Josef Koudelka, and Rebirth by Lawrence Carroll. Studio Azzurro is a studio
of new media artists in Milan. Koudelka, a Czech-born photographer, made his name with his images of the Soviet invasion of Prague in 1968. Carroll is an abstract painter from the United States, born in Australia. The Holy See’s participation has been organised by the Italian Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, head of the Pontifical Council for Culture, as a renewed affirmation of the relationship between faith and art. JOAN JONAS 27 May-30 September Pioneer of video and performance art, Joan Jonas is among the most important international female artists to emerge in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The Galleria Alessandra Bonomo presents the latest works by the New York artist, including images of fish and other animals painted in blue Japanese ink, wall drawings, installations, video, sculpture and designs created using ice.

JUSTIN PEYSER: DIASPORA 24 May-08 September New York artist Justin Peyser has created ten large sculptures on the theme of diaspora, exploring the departure, necessary or otherwise, of migrants who head off into unchartered and unfamiliar territory.

Fondazione Memmo presents CHRON II, featuring over 70 pieces selected by Ruby from his personal collection and representing over a decade of work. The exhibition focuses on the role of collage in his work and allows viewers to observe the influences on him, from hip-hop to horror, from prison systems to public sculpture, from arts and crafts to existentialism.

PRIMO LEVI PORTRAITS BY LARRY RIVERS 09 May-15 October Following the death of Italian Jewish writer and chemist Primo Levi in 1987, New York artist Larry Rivers was commissioned to paint a portrait of Levi by Fiat magnate Gianni Agnelli, who attended the same Turin high school as Levi. Rivers created three paintings that in addition to portraying Levi, highlighted the Nazi extermination of the Jewish people. The paintings, still the property of the Agnelli family, are on loan to Rome’s Jewish Museum and are accompanied by photographs and documents belonging to Levi.

Luigi Ghirri. Pensare per immagini 24 April-27 October This retrospective pays a longawaited, much deserved tribute to Luigi Ghirri (1943-1992), on the 70th anniversary of his birth. The exhibition includes about 300 photographs spanning the entire oeuvre of the artist over two decades. Although he worked exclusively with photography, it would be wrong to pigeonhole Ghirri as a photographer; he was an all-round artist, as well as a cultural animator, a curator, critic, theorist and writer, and also a mentor and teacher. He belonged to that breed of mavericks who renewed Italian arts after world war two, achieving excellence in their fields of choice with no specific formal training. For the MAXXI show, the curators organised the photographs – many of which are vintage prints – into three thematic groupings: icons, landscapes, architecture. An essential feature of Ghirri’s work was indeed the avoidance of the single, isolated, “pretty” photograph. His work in the 1970s arose from a linguistic approach, although a slight irony is present in the way he captured the symmetries of the built landscape that are sometimes involuntary, but for the most part the result of a certain idea of order. From 1981-82, Ghirri devoted himself to a relentless survey of the Italian landscape, what he called “Journey to Italy”. His work was nourished as much by photography as by painting, architecture, and cinema. For that reason, his images make one think at the same time of Piero della Francesca and Stephen Shore, Antonioni and Magritte, Vermeer and Walker Evans, Fra Angelico and Morandi. Ghirri died suddenly of a heart attack in 1992, shortly after he turned 49. Over the next 20 years, his work has continued to bear fruit and influence other artists and wordsmiths. This exhibition provides ample evidence of the reasons for this persistence. MAXXI, Museo Nazionale delle Arti del XXI Secolo, Via Guido Reni 4a, tel. 0639967350, www.fondazionemaxxi.it. Jacopo Benci

Incontri, lettura, spettacoli (see article page 9), Rome’s municipal art gallery presents an installation by artist Francesco Vaccaro dedicated to the Italian writer Alberto Moravia. Vaccaro took his inspiration from Casa Moravia (the writer’s former Rome residence, now a public museum) to capture traces of Moravia’s everyday life, attempting to see the world through Moravia’s eyes. The result is a series of videos filmed from Moravia’s windows, allowing the viewer to observe what was visible to the influential writer from 1963 until his death in 1990.

music ENNIO MORRICONE AT CARACALLA 25 July Since 1961 the prolific Italian composer and conductor Ennio Morricone has worked on more than 500 film scores and is still going strong. (He recently popped up in Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds and again in Django Unchained by the same director – although he now swears he will never work with Tarantino again). He is on the podium this summer for a concert performed by the Orchestra del Teatro dell’Opera in a programme dedicated to his own music. Aged 85, Morricone’s vigour is astounding as he continues to tour the world leading top class orchestras not only in his popular film repertoire, but also in his remarkable contemporary music compositions. Despite universal acclaim for his film work – Morricone has received five Oscar nominations – he has never won an Oscar for Best Musical Score although in 2007 he was given an honorary Os-
car for lifetime achievement. Caracalla is surely the venue for a crowd-pleasing evening, and although the concert programme has not been released, one can expect a selection from Morricone’s late 1960s film scores, then moving into his later, more romantic style, culminating in the beautiful theme tune from The Mission. Terme di Caracalla, Viale delle Terme di Caracalla, tel. 064817003, www.operaroma.it. EVENINGS AT S. IVO 12 July-08 August The International Chamber Ensemble brings music to the lovely Renaissance courtyard of S. Ivo alla Sapienza. The programme of 13 evenings spans a varied repertoire of well-known music ranging from Vivaldi and Mozart to Gershwin and the jazz of Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Ellington, Cole Porter, and some Argentine tango. The tango concerts are enriched by the participation of musicians and dancers of the Cuartetango Ensemble, whilst the jazz night features the five virtuoso clarinets of the Solitaire Ensemble and the Italo-American crooner, Angelo. All concerts begin at 21.00. Concerts at the Cortile di S. Ivo alla Sapienza, Corso Rinascimento 40, tel. 0686800125, www.interensemble.org.

Unique of its kind thanks to the venue in which it takes place: the 18th-century Sferisterio, a long, oval-shaped arena that was originally built as a playground for the game of the ball and the bangle. The unusual open-air theatre provides a challenging setting for stage directors who have turned it into a temple for opera, and in past years created a couple of really legendary productions. The theme, that aims to break down barriers thanks also to a special project for the visually
impaired, includes a tributes to Verdi and Britten in this anniversary year with Nabucco and Trovatore and Britten’s children’s opera The Little Sweep. Tel. 0733230735, www.sferisterio.it.

ESTATE ROMANA 03 July-07 August The wonderful Estate Romana that injected Rome with a flourish of hope and culture after the dark years of terrorism in the early 1970s, has taken an unprecedented battering in 2013. The cultural renaissance guided and nurtured by the late Renato Nicolini, is almost no more. Nicolini conceived and promoted a rich series of cultural initiatives bringing poetry, film, music, dance and new ideas not only to the city centre, but also to its often degraded suburban areas. With the participation of thousands of established and emerging artists and other operators of the field, he put Rome back on the cultural map. The Estate Romana, with its quality offerings, transformed an otherwise barren summer cityscape into an exciting point of attraction and energy. Even during the first years of the global economic crisis the city was proud of its summer bounty, and previous sociallyminded mayors did their best not to cut the dwindling funds for the smaller “alternative” associations that could not survive on their own. However the past five years have seen a consistent “re-think” of the significance of the Estate Romana and many cultural associations have disappeared from the scene. 2013 has been particularly dramatic with funds being withheld from some of Rome’s flagship festivals – such as the Festival Internazionale di Letteratura, which will hopefully receive partial funding when it is over. Meanwhile the axe has come down on Invito alla Danza – Rome’s only dance festival – and on I Concerti nel Parco, both of which are struggling to find a new venue for a drastically reduced programme after the city’s decision not to build an open-

air stage in Villa Pamphilj. Many other victims of the outgoing city administration’s anti-cultural politics come to mind, while others (Teatro dell’Opera, Isola del Cinema, Rock in Roma, Luglio Suona Bene for example), which rely on private sponsors or other sources of finance, have received city funding. The city has also given the Estate Romana logo to a myriad of tacky commercial ventures such as wine bars and food joints that have mushroomed in the streets and along the Tiber embankments so that it can claim that it still supports so-called “entertainment” that attracts tourists and visitors. LB. LUGLIO SUONA BENE 24 June-31 July In the 11 years since the inauguration of the Auditorium Parco della Musica, this initiative has gained a sturdy reputation for the quality and variety of its programme with a concert almost every evening throughout July in the Auditorium’s central open-air “cavea”.

Performances are in an open-air theatre, just a stone’s throw from Villa Puccini, where the composer lived, worked and is buried.

opera notes The Valle d’Itria festival has two rare works in its programme; one in the Neopolitan tradition (Crispino e la Comare by Luigi and Federico Ricci) and the other (L’ambizione delusa by Leonardo Leo) a jewel of a pastoral drama in the Puglia-Neapolitan tradition. Giovanna d’Arco the last work in the programme is the least fortunate of Verdi’s operas although one much loved by the composer himself. The lead will be sung by the excellent lyric soprano Jessica Pratt. The Macerato festival marks the anniversaries of Verdi (with Nabucco and Il Trovatore) and Britten with Il piccolo spazzacamino, as well as an unusual rendering by Britten of Shakespeare’s Un sogno d’una notte di mezza estate. Il cartellone del XXXIX Festival della Valle d’Itria di Martina Franca (13 luglio – 1 agosto) si annuncia ricco di proposte. Titolo d’apertura è Crispino e la Comare di Luigi e Federico Ricci (13 e 29 luglio), un melodramma fantastico-giocoso (la Comare è la morte!) che s’ispira alle canzoni napoletane e alle opere buffe di Rossini. L’ambizione delusa di Leonardo Leo (14, 20 e 30 luglio) è il secondo titolo: una commedia pastorale che si annuncia come un gioiello della scuola pugliese-napoletana. L’ultima opera in programma è Giovanna d’Arco (28 e 31 luglio) una delle composizioni meno fortunate di Giuseppe Verdi, apprezzata ed eseguita poco nonostante fosse molto amata dall’autore. Protagonista sarà Jessica Pratt, eccellente soprano lirico di agilità emergente, che il 21 luglio canterà anche alla consegna del Premio Rodolfo Celletti 2013 per Lella Cuberli, sua maestra di canto e grande “belcantista” della fine del Novecento. In cartellone due “appuntamenti” ormai d’obbligo dedicati uno a Richard Wagner, con l’esecuzione in forma di concerto del I atto di Die Walkure insieme ai
Wesendonck Lieder (27 luglio) con il direttore principale del Metropolitan di New York Fabio Luisi, e un altro a Giuseppe Verdi con la Messa da Requiem (1 agosto) concertata da Omer Meir Wellber, il direttore musicale del Palau des les Artes di Valencia. Il 49° Festival Operistico dell’Arena Sferisterio di Macerata (19 luglio-10 agosto) presenta quattro titoli, scelti per festeggiare gli anniversari della nascita di Giuseppe Verdi (1813) e di Benjamin Britten (1913). Del primo verranno proposti Nabucco (19 luglio-9 agosto), la terza opera che rivelò il genio musicale del cigno di Busseto e diede l’impulso alla sua straordinaria carriera, e Il trovatore (20 luglio-10 agosto) che oltre alla più che famosa “pira” annovera pagine di musica e di ispirazione stupende come “D’amor sull’ali rosee” e “Stride la vampa”. Di Benjamin Britten sarà presentato al chiuso, al Teatro Lauro, Il piccolo spazzacamino (28-31 luglio): “opera per bambini” composta nel 1949 per essere anche cantata da non professionisti e messa in scena in luoghi semplici come scuole o parrocchie. L’8 agosto allo Sferisterio verrà allestita invece una versione insolita di Un sogno d’una notte di mezza estate: William Shakespeare sarà raccontato con l’ausilio di Benjamin Britten e Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, che del testo del Bardo realizzarono apprezzate e note versioni musicali.

LES BALLETS JAZZ DE MONTREAL 15 July In Harry, Fuel, Zero In On, choreography by Barak Marshall and Cayetano Soto. When Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal was founded in 1972, modern dance didn’t feature much in Canada, and jazz dance, with its showy fusion of Broadway, modern and ballet, was all the rage. Times have changed and the company, directed by Louis Robitaille has a broader dance aesthetic. True to its original mission it continues in the spirit of exploration, developing new works, collaborating with choreographers of diverse styles and backgrounds. The excellent ensemble performs Fuel and Zero In On by Cayetano Soto of Brazil, and a newly commissioned work by American-born, Israel-based Barak Marshall. The diverse pieces contrast dynamic, virtuosic small ensemble and solo work with the energy and power of the full company.

BALLETTO DEL TEATRO ALLA SCALA 17 July-24 July In Swan Lake, choreography by Rudolf Nureyev, with guest artist Natalia Osipova. Swan Lake is a ballet in which Nureyev danced many times in Russia and on which he had strong views. He was not satisfied with the traditional ending – which he felt untrue to the tragic undertones of the music – and he wanted to build up the role of the prince to create a proper counterpart to the ballerina. So he had the prince set a dark mood from the beginning, gave him an extra dance with his friends and adopted a variation of the ending with the prince drowning in an overflowing lake. Teatro alla Scala, tel. 027203744, www.teatroallascala.it.
TANZTHEATER WUPPERTAL 11 July-14 July In Café Muller and Le Sacre du Printemps, choreography by Pina Bausch. Since the sudden death of Pina Bausch in 2009, her legendary Tanztheater Wuppertal company, jointly led today by Dominique Mercy and Robert Sturm, is still one of the world’s most prestigious dance companies. This performance showcases Bausch’s most loved work, her 1975 Le Sacre du Printemps and the one that many consider her masterpiece: her Café Muller. Both works illustrate how Bausch started a reformation that has changed the very development of dance and theatre to this day. Teatro S. Carlo, tel. 081797233, www.teatrosancarlo.it.

MARK MORRIS DANCE GROUP 06 July-07 July In a recent review for his latest work, New Yorker dance critic Joan Acocella describes Mark Morris as the greatest new choreographer of the 1980s onward. He brings his group to Spoleto with a selection of works created from 1992 to 2008. As Acocella notes “Morris knows how to create an ambiguity that feels like clarity. Often in his work, a person, after doing something that you think you understand, does something that utterly contradicts that. Or he goes on doing his thing, but someone at the side of the stage does something altogether different.” And perhaps he is also doing exactly what an artist of our time should do: create instances of confusion and contradiction and offer a couple of sporadic, blinding flashes of vision and clarity.

TRIBUTE TO RUDOLF NUREYEV 27 July-28 July In the year that marks the 20th anniversary since the death of Rudolf Nureyev, this gala is a tribute to the great dancer and artist who changed the way we think about ballet. The tribute has been organised with the help of dance critic Valeria Crippa who also worked as an assistant to Nureyev and is the author of a book dedicated to him. The programme presents a selection of excerpts from the ballets that were most meaningful to the artist, either artistically, or because they represent a turning point in his career or in his vision of dance. It also includes some choreographies especially created for Nureyev like the Chant du compagnon errant by Béjart, Don Juan by Neumeier, Lucifer by Martha Graham. A stellar cast of dancers from companies such as the Bolshoi, the Marinsky, the Stuttgarter Ballet, the Hamburg Ballet,
the New York City Ballet and others are on stage. Before the performance on 27 July the public can participate in an encounter with dancers Luciana Savignano and Elisabetta Terabust mediated by Valeria Crippa. Auditorium Parco della Musica, Viale P. de Coubertin 30, tel. 892982, www.auditorium.com. ROBERTO BOLLE AND FRIENDS 21 July-22 July As principal dancer for Milan’s Teatro alla Scala and the American Ballet Theatre, superstar dancer Roberto Bolle splits his time between the two companies. His Roberto Bolle and Friends in which he features as both artistic director and dancer, brings ballet to a wide public and the gala is often performed in outdoor spaces and historic venues such as the Colosseum, the Duomo in Milan, the Arena in Verona. A sure crowd-pleaser, the gala features some ten short choreographies, almost all solos and pas de deux. Terme di Caracalla, Via delle Terme di Caracalla, tel. 0648160, www.operaroma.it. SIDI LARBI CHERKAOUI 03 July Milonga. The eclectic and talented Belgian/Moroccan choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, who continues to seek new ways to dance and to communicate thanks to his collaboration with artists of different backgrounds, turns to tango for inspiration. Taking the idea of a milonga as a starting point Cherkaoui draws on traditional influences and idioms and adds a contemporary twist. Most of the dancers on stage are tango dancers, but there are also a couple of academically trained performers as well as a live tango orchestra. Auditorium Parco della Musica, Viale P. de Coubertin 30, tel. 892982, www.auditorium.com.

SMALL PENTHOUSE IN CENTRE. Lovely, fully furnished penthouse in Rome ideal for a couple or eventually 3 people (the sofa opens into a confortable bed), St Peter is seen from a small window specifically made on the entrance door. 5 min walk from metro station and train station Ostiense, very close to Colosseum, to all ancient Rome’s area, and city centre. The house is small and cosy, but an architect managed to make every single corner useful with built-in wardrobe. There is a kitchenette with everything you need to cook, there is a washing machine and the bathroom has a shower. The best thing to do is relax and enjoy the lovely and confortable terrace after a good walk in Rome’s centre.
I would suggest it because it is like a love nest, small but with all comforts, in a residential area, no traffic, quiet and at the same time so close to everything. Walking distance from the most famous flee market in Rome, Portaportese (only opended on Sundays) and the famous area called Trastevere. There are many really good (and cheap) restaurants walking distance, and good places to enjoy Rome by night. From the lovely terrace you will have a great view, you see everything and nobody sees you! daily lets or short lets only. valentinadelbufalo@libero.it. ST PETER’S.
