Books at San Giorgio

Books at San Giorgio, a series of meetings presenting the latest publications concerning or by
the Fondazione Cini, has now reached its thirteenth edition.

On 13 March the latest volume of Studi Veneziani (for the year 2016) will be presented. Edited by the Institute of the History of the Venetian State and Society, this journal explores the manifold aspects of over a thousand years of Venetian history.

On 20 March, the featured book is Il teatro in fotografia. L’immagine della prima attrice italiana fra Otto e Novecento by Marianna Zannoni. This study of leading ladies in Italian theatre at the turn of the 20th century focuses on great divas (Adelaide Ristori, Eleonora Duse and Tina Di Lorenzo) and the way that they were portrayed in a system popularising images and creating myths capable of influencing social customs.

The series will end on 23 March with two books produced by the Institute of Music: Musical Improvisation and Open Forms in the Age of Beethoven edited by Gianmario Borio and Angela Carone, and Studies in Historical Improvisation. From Cantare super Librum to Partimenti edited by Massimiliano Guido. The first book explores the central role of improvisation in both public occasions and the private lives of many artists from the late 18th and to mid-19th century, while the second book deals with the study of improvisation as theorised and practiced from the 16th to the 20th century.

Historical Studies Seminar The Genesis of Resolutions: with the Best Intentions, the Worst Intentions, and Beyond All Intentions

As usual, the Historical Studies Seminar organised by the Institute of the History of the Venetian State and Society is spread over five half days – from 15 to 17 May 2017 – dedicated to five different aspects of the overall theme, that is “resolutions”. The seminar will explore the mixture of the said and the unsaid, or the explicit statement and potholed background in decision-making. The is where raison d’état – especially in the 16th and 17th centuries, when it was spelled out and unhesitatingly theorised – demands the feigning of convictions and concealing of real thoughts nurtured in private, at times with no clear boundary between good and evil, or even truth and falsehood. Given this situation, the seminar may find itself moving between
cases of extraordinary and ordinary ambiguity.

Books at San Giorgio

The book launch series dedicated to the latest Fondazione Giorgio Cini publications resumes this autumn.

The first date, 11 October, is dedicated to the presentation of the Catalogo della raccolta di miniature della Fondazione Giorgio Cini, edited by Federica Toniolo and Massimo Medica. This book is the result of the work of around fifty expert scholars who made a complete catalogue of the valuable collection of miniatures assembled by Vittorio Cini and presented to the Foundation in 1962.

At the second launch, 17 October, the focus will be on Alessandro Borin’s critical edition of Vivaldi’s Opera VI. This collection of six violin concertos published in Amsterdam in 1719 is evidence of Vivaldi’s recent accomplishments, both in terms of form (the division into three movements), and the emancipation of the solo instrument from its orchestral partners.

The last date, 25 October, will be devoted to Studi Veneziani, the journal edited by the Institute for the History of the Venetian State and Society, whose hefty tomes explore various aspects of the history of Venice. On this occasion the years 2014 and 2015 will be presented: in addition to the usual studies, they include the acts of a one-day conference held at the College de France, Paris, in 2012, in memory of the historian Alberto Tenenti.

Studi Veneziani

An interdisciplinary journal that explores the multiple aspects of the history of Venice and the Venetian State, addressing themes that extend beyond historical-political, institutional, social, and economic realms, including literary and artistic aspects.

Founded in 1959 as the ‘Bollettino’ of the Institute for the History of the Venetian State and Society, the journal changed its name in 1965. It is currently directed by Egidio Ivetic, the present director of the Institute.

Historical Studies Seminar The Divided City

The Divided City is the general title of the historical studies seminar, which, as usual is spread over five half days. The focus will be on the divisive factors found over the centuries in urban history, even in Venice, despite being admired, as long as it was a city state, for its regime of social peace, free of Guelphs and Ghibellines, uprisings and revolts. Indeed the arsenalotti (Venetian shipyard workers) seem almost tame compared to the rebellious Florentine ciompi (wool carders). Although characterised by strong class differences, Venice as a capital city (here reproduced in an image of 1528) never witnessed the clamorous episodes of class struggle found elsewhere. Similarly, in Venice the rivalry between patrician families was never exasperated to the extent that it troubled the whole city, unlike the Verona of the Montecchi and the Capuleti.

Nonetheless, the erection of Emilio Marsili’s monument to Paolo Sarpi in Venice in 1892 did cause a clash between clerics and secular forces similar to the conflicts after monuments were raised to Arnaldo da Brescia in Brescia and Giordano Bruno in Rome. The fact remains that as the foundation for peaceful coexistence, shared presuppositions and harmony, the city (the civitas, the result and expression of civilitas) per se brings people together in a common life, unified as it is by its surrounding walls. But at the same time from its outset, the city has witnessed tensions and lacerations: Rome, the city by antonomasia was born out of a crime when Romulus slew Remus. Augustine’s civitas Dei was one matter, the earthly city quite another. Ancient Rome was always troubled: patricians against plebs, and the birth of Imperial Rome prevaricating over Republican Rome.

The speakers at the seminar will discuss this and other issues in the form of an extended debate, involving harmonious, dissonant, converging and diverging views.

Books at San Giorgio

Books at San Giorgio launch series dedicated to the latest Fondazione Giorgio Cini publications resumes.

Books at San Giorgio is a series of meetings that presents the latest Fondazione Giorgio Cini publications, usually the outcome of its Institutes’ research activities in various disciplines: art history, 20th-century music, Venetian history, the music of Vivaldi, drama and ethnomusicology.

The first date, on 3^rd March, Gino Benzoni, Maria Giordana Mariani Canova and Federica Toniolo will present La miniatura per le confraternite e le arti veneziane. Mariegole dal 1260 al 1460. Written by Lyle Humphrey, this fascinating book surveys two centuries of texts and illustrations in Mariegole, the illuminated statute books of the devotional guilds and the various “national” congregations in Venice during the Middle Ages.

The meeting on 10^th March, will be devoted to Musical Listening in the Age of Technological Reproduction. Edited by Gianmario Borio, this is the first book in a new series entitled “Musical Cultures of the Twentieth Century”, of which he is also series editor for publishers Ashgate.

The book will be discussed by Simon Zagorski-Thomas and Francesco Giomi.

After the presentation there will be a concert, that is made possible thanks to the collaboration between the Conservatory of Music “Benedetto Marcello” and the Institute for Music of Fondazione Giorgio Cini. Federica Lotti (Flute and Piccolo) and Florindo Baldissera (guitar) will play pieces by Bruno Bettinelli , Giacomo Manzoni , Fausto Romitelli and Camillo Togni.

Download here the concert program

Lastly, on 17^th March, Simona Marchini and Fortunato Ortombina will present Il Teatro di Pierluigi Samaritani, a catalogue of the stage designs and documents in the Samaritani Archive, now in the Fondazione Giorgio Cini Theatre Study Centre.

The book also includes a thorough critical inquiry by Maria Ida Biggi into the art of the Piedmont stage designer.

Historical studies seminar Memory blanks; haunting spectres

In the 60th anniversary year of the creation of the Institute for the History of the Venetian State and Society, and in the wake of a wellestablished tradition since 1977, in 2015 there will be five half days devoted to the customary meetings and exchanges in the seminar for historians in Venice. The overall title binding together the around twenty expected papers is Memory blanks; haunting spectres. The seminar is still at the planning stage but for the round table on “The Veneto”, a paper has been announced on the “Spectre of Communism”, which made a disquieting appearance during the revolutionary years 1848-1849. Among the other confirmed papers are: “The memory of the past: narration and historiography”; and “18th-century Venice and early 20th-century Viennese spectres”.
