			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>I maestri liutai alla Galleria Principe per Natale ha Napoli</h2>
<p><strong><a title="città di napoli" href="http://www.comune.napoli.it" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft" title="citta_di_napoli_logo" src="http://www.madeinitaly.tv/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/citta_di_napoli_logo-116x138.jpg" alt="" width="116" height="138" /></a></strong>Tra i tanti vanti della <a title="Comune di Napoli" href="http://www.comune.napoli.it" target="_blank">città di Napoli</a> c’è pure quello dell’antica tradizione dei <strong>Maestri Liutai</strong>, i costruttori di pregiati strumenti a corda. Quella dei <a title="Liuteria" href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liuteria" target="_blank">liutai è una professione artigianale</a> che di norma è tramandata di padre in figlio e che così facendo, attraverso i secoli, è giunta fino a noi. Trattandosi, però, di una categoria oggi sempre più esigua, quasi destinata all’estinzione nell’era della tecnologia e della produzione in serie, il <a title="Comune di Napoli" href="http://www.comune.napoli.it" target="_blank">Comune di Napoli</a> ha voluto inserire tra le proposte natalizie proprio un appuntamento dedicato all’arte della liuteria.</p>
<p>L’iniziativa ha come cornice la bella <strong><a title="Galleria Principe" href="http://www.danpiz.net/napoli/monumenti/GalleriaPrincipe.htm" target="_blank">Galleria Principe</a></strong>, divenuta uno dei ritrovi culturali della città, e fa parte del più vasto programma &#8220;<a title="Natale ha Napoli" href="http://www.napolibel.com/eventi/mostre/natale-ha-napoli" target="_blank">Natale HA Napoli</a>&#8220;.</p>
<p>Ai convenuti i <strong>Maestri Liutai</strong> mostrano le procedure e le tecniche per la realizzazione di uno strumento musicale e la <strong></strong><strong><a title="Galleria Principe" href="http://www.danpiz.net/napoli/monumenti/GalleriaPrincipe.htm" target="_blank">Galleria Principe</a></strong>, per l’occasione, si è trasformata in un vero e proprio atelier, con tanto di banco di lavoro, legni e attrezzi per l’intaglio. Il pubblico ha così potuto conoscere e ammirare la sofisticata arte che dà suono e timbro al legno.</p>
<p>Un appuntamento sulla musica e per la musica, arricchito dalla presenza e dalla testimonianza di illustri esponenti dei Conservatori di Napoli e Avellino.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><strong>Via San Gregorio Armeno &#8211; la via dei presepi </strong></h1>
<p><strong><a title="città di napoli" href="http://www.comune.napoli.it" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft" title="citta_di_napoli_logo" src="http://www.madeinitaly.tv/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/citta_di_napoli_logo-116x138.jpg" alt="" width="116" height="138" /></a></strong>Via San Gregorio Armeno è una strada del centro storico di <a title="Comune di Napoli" href="http://www.comune.napoli.it" target="_blank">Napoli</a>, celebre turisticamente per le <strong>botteghe artigiane di presepi</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Storia</strong></p>
<p>La strada risulta essere uno degli stenopoi tipici dell&#8217;architettura urbanistica greca la quale caratterizza tutto il centro antico di <a title="Comune di Napoli" href="http://www.comune.napoli.it" target="_blank">Napoli</a>. In quanto stenopos (cardine nell&#8217;urbanistica romana), la via fungeva da collegamento tra le due plateiai (decumani): la plateia maggiore (attuale via dei Tribunali) e quella inferiore (odierna Spaccanapoli). Le due principali strade dell&#8217;allora Neapolis, erano dunque congiunte perpendicolarmente proprio da questa strada,all&#8217;altezza della <strong>Basilica di San Lorenzo Maggiore</strong>, dove vi sorgeva l&#8217;agorà.</p>
<p>Successivamente, la strada fu chiamata plaetia nostriana in quanto il XV vescovo di Napoli, San Nostriano, vi fece costruire terme per i poveri.[1]</p>
<p>A circa metà strada, sorge la storica <strong>chiesa di San Gregorio Armeno</strong> fondata attorno al 930 sulle fondamenta dell&#8217;antico <a title="Cecere" href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerere" target="_blank"><strong>tempio di Cerere</strong></a>. Solo nel 1205 la chiesa viene intitolata al santo omonimo.</p>
<p><a title="Presepe Napoletano" href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presepe_napoletano" target="_blank"><strong>L&#8217;arte presepiale</strong></a></p>
<p>La <strong>tradizione presepiale di san Gregorio Armeno</strong> ha un&#8217;origine remota: nella strada in epoca classica esisteva un tempio dedicato a Cerere, alla quale i cittadini offrivano come ex voto delle piccole statuine di terracotta, fabbricate nelle botteghe vicine. La nascita del presepe napoletano è naturalmente molto più tarda e risale alla fine del Settecento.</p>
<p>Oggi via San Gregorio Armeno è nota in tutto il mondo come il centro espositivo delle botteghe artigianali qui ubicate che ormai tutto l&#8217;anno realizzano statuine per i presepi, sia canoniche che originali (solitamente ogni anno gli artigiani più eccentrici realizzano statuine con fattezze di personaggi di stringente attualità che magari si sono distinti in positivo o in negativo durante l&#8217;anno).</p>
<p>Le esposizioni vere e proprie cominciano nel periodo attorno alle festività natalizie, solitamente dagli inizi di novembre al 6 gennaio.</p>
<p>Il <a title="complesso di san gregorio armeno" href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Via_San_Gregorio_Armeno" target="_blank"><strong>complesso di san Gregorio Armeno Tipica</strong></a> di via san Gregorio Armeno è il sontuoso campanile dell&#8217;omonima chiesa che si affaccia sulla strada, il quale si innalza sopra il livello della stessa. Il campanile funge da cavalcavia di connessione tra i due conventi (chiesa e monastero) dedicate a san Gregorio Armeno. Infine, lungo la strada (salendo dal decumano inferiore a quello maggiore), vi sono prima la chiesa di San Gregorio Armeno, edificata intorno al X secolo, e poi, poco più sopra, con ingresso separato rispetto all&#8217;edificio religioso, il relativo chiostro.</p>
<p>Si ringrazia il <a title="Comune di Napoli" href="http://www.comune.napoli.it" target="_blank">Comune di Napoli</a> per la gentile concessione delle immagini e dei testi.</p>

<p><strong>Nuvole di Pietra I gioielli di Enrico Cirio e la Biblioteca Reale</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.provincia.torino.it/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img title="provincia di torino" src="http://www.madeinitaly.tv/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/logo_provincia.jpg" alt="" width="117" height="78" /></a><br />
<em>Inaugurazione 17 gennaio ore 12.00<br />
Apertura per la stampa ore 11.00<br />
Apertura al pubblico venerdì 19 gennaio<br />
<strong> 19 gennaio &#8211; 4 marzo 2007 Biblioteca Reale Torino</strong></em><br />
<em>La fantasia senza il timone della ragione crea improbabili mostri: unita ad essa è la madre di ogni arte e di tutte le meraviglie che ne discendono.</em> <em>Francisco Goya</em><br />
La genialità unita alla fantasia, perizia applicata al fuoco creativo: non esiste una sola definizione per descrivere il lavoro di <strong>Enrico Cirio, maestro orafo</strong> che annovera tra i suoi estimatori Case Reali, personaggi noti e grandi collezionisti dal gusto infallibile, che la Biblioteca Reale di Torino ospita in anteprima internazionale dal 17 gennaio al 4 marzo 2007 con la mostra <strong>Nuvole di pietra</strong>, promossa dalla Provincia di Torino. Una sede prestigiosa per una mostra preziosa: la Biblioteca Reale infatti conserva alcuni dei più importanti disegni di Leonardo da Vinci, tra i quali l&#8217;&#8221;Autoritratto&#8221; ed il &#8220;Volto dell&#8217;Angelo&#8221;.<br />
Orafo, narratore, esteta, Enrico Cirio è soprattutto un traduttore: della sua primaria ispiratrice &#8211; la Natura ? egli decodifica e ricompone, in linguaggi nuovi e mai banali, le meraviglie, i misteri ed il piacere delle innumerevoli trasformazioni. Questo grande artista-artigiano lavora con maestria materiali preziosi in declinazioni insolite: le sue creazioni sono pezzi unici realizzati completamente a mano con un&#8217;arte laboratoriale che difficilmente trova paragoni. Cirio spinge infatti la sua sperimentazione sempre un po&#8217; più in là, attratto dal superamento del limite materiale e, come un architetto-costruttore, crea strutture perfette che rasentano l&#8217;equilibrismo. L&#8217;amore, l&#8217;attenzione e la passione con cui Cirio si avvicina alle sue preziose materie prime per trasformarle <strong>in oggetti unici e irripetibili rendono impalpabile la distanza tra il manufatto e l&#8217;opera d&#8217;arte</strong>. Ogni pezzo da lui creato è depositario di una storia, una leggenda, un piccolo aneddoto; è testimone di un pezzo di vita. Infatti sia le numerose frequentazioni artistiche che l&#8217;incontro con i più grandi architetti italiani e stranieri sono riflessi nei suoi gioielli, testimonianza di una vita ricca di stimoli e di passioni. Ma non è solo l&#8217;ambiente esterno ad influenzare le creazioni di Cirio, i suoi manufatti rispecchiano la personalità del loro creatore: sono <strong>opere fantasiose ma rigorose, preziose eppure discrete; interpretazioni del nostro tempo destinate a pochi ed ora, grazie alla Provincia di Torino, per la prima volta esposte al pubblico nella splendida cornice della Biblioteca Reale di Torino</strong>.</p>
<p>Il percorso della mostra si snoda attraverso 16 vetrine dove sono esposti gioielli dagli anni ‘50 ad oggi con i disegni originali ed i bozzetti preparatori, per una migliore fruizione e comprensione delle opere di Cirio.<br />
Per enfatizzare infine il connubio tra Arte e Artigianato, la Biblioteca Reale affiancherà alle opere ed ai disegni dell&#8217;orafo torinese una selezione di materiale librario a tema e legature di apparato delle proprie collezioni, accanto alle quali si potranno ammirare oggetti appartenenti alla Biblioteca, frutto di un lavoro artigianale di grande pregio che va dall&#8217;intarsio ai calchi di gemme, a cofanetti destinati a conservare materiale librario.<br />
Questa particolarissima esposizione si colloca all&#8217;interno di una progettualità più ampia attuata dalla Provincia di Torino al fine di evidenziare il grande retaggio e l&#8217;odierna professionalità di un settore tanto pregiato come quello dell&#8217;Alto Artigianato Artistico, parte di quelle preziose &#8220;eccellenze&#8221; del nostro territorio che vanno tutelate e valorizzate. Eccellenze che rappresentano infatti non solo una ricca e prestigiosa tradizione, ma anche la possibilità di conservare e tramandare un&#8217;arte raffinata che affianca capacità manuali ed artistiche e può costituire anche oggi, se ben valorizzata, un&#8217;ottima opportunità per un mercato di altissimo valore e di grande considerazione. Questo è il motivo per cui un personaggio tanto schivo e discreto come Enrico Cirio ha accettato di esporre le sue splendide creazioni al pubblico, un&#8217;occasione impedibile per ammirare gioielli che hanno fatto e fanno sognare reali, grandi industriali, star hollywoodiane, artisti ed intellettuali; ma soprattutto oggetti che hanno testimoniato e scritto la storia del <strong>gusto</strong>, del <strong>costume</strong> e del <strong>design italiano nel mondo</strong>. La mostra, voluta dalla Provincia di Torino è realizzata in collaborazione con il Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali attraverso la Biblioteca Reale di Torino e con il sostegno della Fondazione CRT.<br />

<p><strong>Nuvole di Pietra &#8211; I gioielli di Enrico Cirio e la Biblioteca Reale</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.provincia.torino.it/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img title="provincia di torino" src="http://www.madeinitaly.tv/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/logo_provincia.jpg" alt="" width="117" height="78" /></a><br />
<em>Inaugurazione 17 gennaio ore 12.00<br />
Apertura per la stampa ore 11.00<br />
Apertura al pubblico venerdì 19 gennaio<br />
<strong> 19 gennaio &#8211; 4 marzo 2007 Biblioteca Reale Torino</strong></em><br />
<em>La fantasia senza il timone della ragione crea improbabili mostri: unita ad essa è la madre di ogni arte e di tutte le meraviglie che ne discendono.</em> <em>Francisco Goya</em><br />
La genialità unita alla fantasia, perizia applicata al fuoco creativo: non esiste una sola definizione per descrivere il lavoro di <strong>Enrico Cirio, maestro orafo</strong> che annovera tra i suoi estimatori Case Reali, personaggi noti e grandi collezionisti dal gusto infallibile, che la Biblioteca Reale di Torino ospita in anteprima internazionale dal 17 gennaio al 4 marzo 2007 con la mostra <strong>Nuvole di pietra</strong>, promossa dalla Provincia di Torino. Una sede prestigiosa per una mostra preziosa: la Biblioteca Reale infatti conserva alcuni dei più importanti disegni di Leonardo da Vinci, tra i quali l&#8217;&#8221;Autoritratto&#8221; ed il &#8220;Volto dell&#8217;Angelo&#8221;.<br />
Orafo, narratore, esteta, Enrico Cirio è soprattutto un traduttore: della sua primaria ispiratrice &#8211; la Natura ? egli decodifica e ricompone, in linguaggi nuovi e mai banali, le meraviglie, i misteri ed il piacere delle innumerevoli trasformazioni. Questo grande artista-artigiano lavora con maestria materiali preziosi in declinazioni insolite: le sue creazioni sono pezzi unici realizzati completamente a mano con un&#8217;arte laboratoriale che difficilmente trova paragoni. Cirio spinge infatti la sua sperimentazione sempre un po&#8217; più in là, attratto dal superamento del limite materiale e, come un architetto-costruttore, crea strutture perfette che rasentano l&#8217;equilibrismo. L&#8217;amore, l&#8217;attenzione e la passione con cui Cirio si avvicina alle sue preziose materie prime per trasformarle <strong>in oggetti unici e irripetibili rendono impalpabile la distanza tra il manufatto e l&#8217;opera d&#8217;arte</strong>. Ogni pezzo da lui creato è depositario di una storia, una leggenda, un piccolo aneddoto; è testimone di un pezzo di vita. Infatti sia le numerose frequentazioni artistiche che l&#8217;incontro con i più grandi architetti italiani e stranieri sono riflessi nei suoi gioielli, testimonianza di una vita ricca di stimoli e di passioni. Ma non è solo l&#8217;ambiente esterno ad influenzare le creazioni di Cirio, i suoi manufatti rispecchiano la personalità del loro creatore: sono <strong>opere fantasiose ma rigorose, preziose eppure discrete; interpretazioni del nostro tempo destinate a pochi ed ora, grazie alla Provincia di Torino, per la prima volta esposte al pubblico nella splendida cornice della Biblioteca Reale di Torino</strong>.</p>
<p>Il percorso della mostra si snoda attraverso 16 vetrine dove sono esposti gioielli dagli anni ‘50 ad oggi con i disegni originali ed i bozzetti preparatori, per una migliore fruizione e comprensione delle opere di Cirio.<br />
Per enfatizzare infine il connubio tra Arte e Artigianato, la Biblioteca Reale affiancherà alle opere ed ai disegni dell&#8217;orafo torinese una selezione di materiale librario a tema e legature di apparato delle proprie collezioni, accanto alle quali si potranno ammirare oggetti appartenenti alla Biblioteca, frutto di un lavoro artigianale di grande pregio che va dall&#8217;intarsio ai calchi di gemme, a cofanetti destinati a conservare materiale librario.<br />
Questa particolarissima esposizione si colloca all&#8217;interno di una progettualità più ampia attuata dalla Provincia di Torino al fine di evidenziare il grande retaggio e l&#8217;odierna professionalità di un settore tanto pregiato come quello dell&#8217;Alto Artigianato Artistico, parte di quelle preziose &#8220;eccellenze&#8221; del nostro territorio che vanno tutelate e valorizzate. Eccellenze che rappresentano infatti non solo una ricca e prestigiosa tradizione, ma anche la possibilità di conservare e tramandare un&#8217;arte raffinata che affianca capacità manuali ed artistiche e può costituire anche oggi, se ben valorizzata, un&#8217;ottima opportunità per un mercato di altissimo valore e di grande considerazione. Questo è il motivo per cui un personaggio tanto schivo e discreto come Enrico Cirio ha accettato di esporre le sue splendide creazioni al pubblico, un&#8217;occasione impedibile per ammirare gioielli che hanno fatto e fanno sognare reali, grandi industriali, star hollywoodiane, artisti ed intellettuali; ma soprattutto oggetti che hanno testimoniato e scritto la storia del <strong>gusto</strong>, del <strong>costume</strong> e del <strong>design italiano nel mondo</strong>. La mostra, voluta dalla Provincia di Torino è realizzata in collaborazione con il Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali attraverso la Biblioteca Reale di Torino e con il sostegno della Fondazione CRT.<br />

<p>Venice, the Serenissima of the Dogi. A maritime Federal Republic, and a great Mediterranean power. A florid and powerful empire of commerce since the 1400 and 1500. &#8216;Fantasy of the Orient&#8217; of Sultans and Emperors. &#8216;Powerful in strength&#8230; and huge in virtue&#8217; (Petrarca, writer). Listed by the UNESCO as Heritage of Humanity in 1987, it is the most appealing Italian city to tourists. It includes 150 channels and 120 isles and islets, like Chioggia, Torcello, Burano (lace crafts) and Murano (glass crafts). Canal Grande is the main intersection, while beautiful Piazza San Marco, with its Greek-cross plan Basilica, is a central rendez-vous. Next to the Basilica we find Palazzo Ducale, seat of the Dogi and a precious work of International Gothic art, made of luxurious rooms furnished with paintings by Titian, Gianbattista Tiepolo, Tintoretto and Paolo Veronese.<br />
But Venice is also events: the Venice Biennial Art Exhibition, the Cinema Festival and Carnival, which celebrates popular yet refined marks, and has become a quite fashionable occurrence.<br />
The entire Region is a prosperous and serene land. Praised by writers like Goethe, Shakespeare and Thomas Mann, in early history it had been dominated by the Euganei, later chased away by the Veneti. Then it went through a gradual and peaceful romanization. In fact Romans and Veneti formed a successful alliance against the Gaulish. The entire region shows traces of the splendour of Venice both from an artistic and historical point of view. Cities like Verona (Roman, then Medieval and finally governed by the Della Scala; the Arena, Piazza delle Erbe and Juliet&#8217;s house&#8230;), Padua (the University, theScrovegni Chappel with frescoes by Giotto), Vicenza and Treviso. Then Rovigo, Chioggia, Bassano del Grappa, San Donà di Piave. Palladian villas, Goldonian style masks and the &#8216;colorismo veneto&#8217;, in other words the use of bright and vivid colours in paintings, which express both aesthetic measure and joie de vivre.</p>

<p> <strong>Puglia, Savoury flavours in the Ionian and Adriatic area.</strong></p>
<p><a title="visit the website" href="http://www.regione.puglia.it/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.madeinitaly.tv/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/regione_puglia_logo.jpg" alt="Regione Puglia" align="left" /></a>Puglia (Apulia) is the most industrialized region in southern Italy. Caught between the Adriatic and the Ionian Sea, it is the eastern most point of the peninsula, and has the widest coastline in Italy. A typical territory of <strong>Magna Graecia </strong>(Hellenic civilization), Puglia is also rich in prehistoric finds (like Menhirs and Dolmens). Around year 1000 BC it was occupied by the Dauni, the Pacezi and the Messapii. Then came the Roman domain. In the Middle Ages the land was invaded by the Normans and the Swabians, while in the 1800 the Bourbons settled their reign and Puglia went through a liberal phase.</p>
<p>Besides <strong>Bari</strong>, the main cities are <strong>Brindisi</strong>, <strong>Lecce</strong> (famous for its <strong>Baroque</strong> architecture), <strong>Foggia</strong>, <strong>Taranto</strong>, <strong>Barletta-Andria-Trani. </strong>The population is 4.069.000 inhabitants. The land consists of plains (the <strong>Tavoliere</strong>) for the most part, and hills (Murge and Kras plateau). The coast is marked by sheer cliffs and outstanding sandy beaches (Taranto, Santa Maria di Leuca, Otranto, Ostumi and <strong>Gallipoli</strong>, the &#8216;pearl of Salento&#8217;). Visitors cannot miss <strong>Gargano</strong>, an imposing mountain massif (&#8216;spur of Italy&#8217; and National Park), in the province of Lecce. The small and precious archipelago of the <strong>Tremiti </strong>is also noteworthy.</p>
<p>The climate of Puglia is typically Mediterranean, the summers being hot and dry, and very sunny. The vegetation consists of fragrant Mediterranean scrub and a rather varied fauna (pine groves, oaks, beeches, maples, brooms, junipers and myrtles).</p>
<p>The culinary tradition is rich in full flavoured dishes, fish specialities, and home-made pasta (orecchiette with ragù, Cavatelli with mussels). A<strong> tourist region</strong>, because it is full of beautiful sceneries &#8211; countless routes, Parks and reserves &#8211; Puglia has some fully equipped accommodation: hotels, resorts, restaurants, campsites, flats and villas, bed and breakfasts and so on.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Terre di Siena</h2>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2492" title="terre_di_siena_logo" src="http://www.madeinitaly.tv/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/terre_di_siena_logo.jpg" alt="terre_di_siena_logo" width="53" height="90" />The abundance of the pictorial experience that the lively town of Siena managed to prompt in the last part of the fifteenth and the beginning of the sixteenth-centuries, is important not only for the quantity produced but for its quality too. Evidence of this is the flourishing of pictorial cycles, sculptural works of major relevance, architectural and urban planning, the creation of decorative objects for the living spaces of the great patricians, and the production of traditional paintings for public and private worship.</p>
<p>The Exhibition at the National Gallery of London, dedicated to the Sienese Renaissance offers a vast array of that production, it cannot possibly represent it in its entirety, considering the works of art which are not portable and the necessity for a selection of the most representative ones.<br />
It becomes very important for the visitor, who wants to deepen his/her knowledge of that period in history, so rich in the development of the figurative arts, to visit the most relevant sites of an itinerary that unfolds through the town centre and the surrounding Sienese territory, territory that has been marked by the most significant artists of the time. These are unmissable places for those who want not only penetrate the soul of the fifteenth-century Sienese art but also its social, economic and religious history.</p>
<p>The two main focal points of Siena representing the civil power on one hand (Palazzo Pubblico and the Spedale di Santa Maria della Scala) and the religious power on the other (The Cathedral) maintain the most relevant examples of that cultural change.<br />
Within the Palazzo Pubblico the sumptuous consistorial hall was decorated by <strong>Domenico Beccafumi </strong>with scenes of the civic virtues, project that lasted from 1529 to 1535. Emphatic mannerism, vivid colours and daring illusionistic representations attract the spectator to one of the most fascinating pictorial cycles of the time.<br />
Not far way on the Pellegrini street which leads to the baptistery Beccafumi himself, developed a complex series of images with characters from mythology and ancient history, commissioned by the proprietor Marcello Agostini. The cycle is considered as one of the highest expressions of the italian cinquecento, one of the &#8220;secret&#8221; places in a palace that is still a private property and it will open to the general public in the course of the exhibition, rare chance not to be missed. Almost in front of it, Palazzo del Magnifico, residence of Pandolfo Petrucci, Siena&#8217;s ruler, at the time sumptuous patrician residence, furnished by the most important artists present in Siena at the end of the fifteenth-century and of which only the architectural structure remains after it was stripped off of all its decorations and furniture during the XIX century.</p>
<p>Such items are today part of the town and foreign museums&#8217; collections. What is left of the representations are the two evocative scenes frescoed by <strong>Girolamo Genga</strong> (<em>Flight of Aeneas from Troy</em>, <em>The liberation of the prisoners</em>) in the Pinacoteca Nazionale of Siena.<br />
Not far away Palazzo Piccolomini built by the heirs of Pope Pius II after his death is one of the purest example of Renaissance architecture thought to be built on a plan by <strong>Bernardo Rossellino</strong>, the pope&#8217;s architect. The palace is today the site of the Archivio di Stato of Siena with the museum of the Biccherne where it is possible to admire the outstanding collection of painted biccherna tablets, originally book covers of the ledgers of the biccherna and gabella, the financial and fiscal offices of the commune of Siena.</p>
<p>Almost all the Sienese Renaissance artists ventured on painting the wooden panels, precious like miniatures and very often characterized by the representation of the main events of Sienese history. <strong>Sano di Pietro</strong> was commissioned more than once to celebrate contemporary people and their noble achievements (in 1457, in 1471, in 1473); <strong>Vecchietta </strong>depicted <em>the Coronation of Pope Pius II Piccolomini</em> in the biccherna of 1460; <strong>Francesco di Giorgio</strong> recalled <em>the earthquake</em> in the biccherna of 1467; <strong>Neroccio </strong>was entrusted with the <em>Intercession of the Virgin Mary to Jesus for the town of Siena</em> and <strong>Guidoccio Cozzarelli</strong> depicted the scene of the <em>Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple</em>, so skillfully that considering he was confined to the small surface of the tablet the result is with no doubt equal to any of his altarpieces.</p>
<p>For the Sienese Duomo the most innovative artists conceived the main pictorial and sculptural cycles: <strong>Bernardino di Betto</strong>, known as <strong>Pinturicchio</strong>, was commissioned to fresco the <em>Piccolomini Library</em>, created to house Pope Pius II&#8217;s library and to celebrate his magnificence depicting his deeds in a representation of rare elegance, sharp narrative spirit, formal style and chromatic exuberance. Right below the frescos, the glass cases contain a collection of antiphons decorated with miniatures by <strong>Girolamo da Cremona</strong>, <strong>Liberale da Verona</strong>, <strong>Sano di Pietro</strong>, which are the most outstanding ones of the fifteenth century. Very rich is the production of sculpture which includes the leading figures of the Renaissance plastic arts. To remember just a few important ones: from the <em>bronze Baptist</em> by <strong>Donatello to the Ciborium</strong> for the <em>high altar </em>by <strong>Vecchietta</strong>; from the <em>Angels </em>by <strong>Francesco di Giorgio</strong> and <strong>Giovanni di Stefano</strong>, to the <em>Candelabras in the form of Angels</em> by <strong>Beccafumi</strong>, to the Piccolomini&#8217;s altar ornate with marble sculptures by <strong>Michelangelo</strong>. The <em>intarsia work of the marble floor</em>, of an unparalleled elegance, was created by the greatest Sienese artists of the fifteenth and sixteenth-century: <strong>Matteo di Giovanni</strong>, <strong>Guidoccio Cozzarelli</strong>, <strong>Benvenuto di Giovanni</strong>, <strong>Antonio Federighi</strong> and above all<strong> Domenico Beccafumi</strong> who drew thirteen of them.</p>
<p>The Spedale di Santa Maria della Scala in front of the Duomo, very powerful economic institution saw, after the great achievement of the <em>frescos of the Pellegrinaio</em> (in which scenes from the hospital daily life had been depicted by <strong>Domenico di Bartolo</strong>) the contribution of <strong>Vecchietta</strong>, in the <em>Grand Vestry</em>, who frescoed the entire hall with <em>stories from the Old and New Testament</em>, and the contribution of <strong>Beccafumi </strong>with an early work, <em>the Visitation</em>.</p>
<p>Not far away the Pinacoteca Nazionale is some sort of encyclopedia of the Sienese figurative arts where all the artists are vastly represented by very high quality artworks: two very large halls show the works of <strong>Francesco di Giorgio</strong>, <strong>Matteo di Giovanni</strong>, <strong>Neroccio di Bartolomeo</strong>; and the <em>great altarpieces</em> by <strong>Vecchietta</strong>, <strong>Benvenuto di Giovanni</strong>, <strong>Girolamo di Benvenuto</strong>, <strong>Francesco di Giorgio</strong> and <strong>Beccafumi</strong>.</p>
<p>The figure of the ruler of Siena, Pandolfo Petrucci is linked to one of the most significant religious building, the Basilica dell&#8217;Osservanza, founded by San Bernardino and chosen by Pandolfo as his resting place. In the Vestry, planned by him, there are the elegant <em>choir-stalls of carved wood</em> by <strong>Antonio Barili</strong> and the <em>sculpture in polychrome terracotta</em> moulded by <strong>Giacomo Cozzarelli </strong>in an intense expressive language supported by a stylish polychromy, a masterpiece of the Sienese late-Renaissance statuary.</p>
<p>The influence of the revived figurative language in the more classic forms of the late-Renaissance, filtered, with no doubt, through the presence in Siena of the most influential artists of the quattrocento (<strong>Donatello</strong>, in the first place but also <strong>Benedetto da Maiano</strong>, <strong>Bernardo Rossellino</strong>, <strong>Luca Signorelli</strong>, <strong>Pinturicchio</strong>) spreading out rapidly through the Sienese culture in such a way to gain commissions even from outside the city&#8217;s territory. We can positively affirm that it is not possible to find a place in the whole of the Sienese province that has not seen at least one of the relevant artistic episodes of the time.</p>
<p>An itinerary devised by area will allow us to deepen the knowledge of the Renaissance through those works of art scattered across the whole of the province&#8217;s territory and we will be amazed by their quantity and conspicuity.</p>

<p><span class="APT_sottotitolo">Florence: art city or art work?</span> The historic centre of Florence contains such a wealth of masterpieces that it is difficult to separate the city from its art works. In 1982 it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, the motivation being that it encapsulates the whole history of the city, from the ‘Roman quadrilateral’ in the Piazza della Repubblica area to the narrow streets of the medieval city, the splendours of the 16th-century Pitti Palace and the changes wrought at the time when Florence was capital of Italy The density of such a fabulously rich legacy – historic and artistic but also scientific and naturalistic – in a small, well-defined space makes Florence city centre quite unique,</p>
<p>not only in the eyes of the curious visitor but also in those of scholars and local people. With its extraordinarily beautiful churches, its museums and art collections, historic gardens, piazzas, streets and ancient palaces, Florence can justifiably be defined as an “open-air museum” – not simply a container for art works but a work of art in its own right. However, to fully appreciate the artistic richness of Florence, one must also look beyond the city centre: the area “outside the walls” and the province as a whole also has an incredible legacy; the Medici and various affluent merchant families left many traces of their presence there over the centuries, and there is an abundance of religious art. Finally, it should be noted that the Polo Museale Fiorentino (a network of twenty city museums, ranging from the Uffizi to the smallest, least-known one) comprises the greatest concentration of art works in Italy and one of the largest in the world.</p>

<p>A perfect natural scenery not far from Turin, full of dazzling mountainous panoramas, among thick forests and brilliant summits. The <strong>Lanzo Valleys</strong> grant a serene and balanced relationship between man and nature, consolidated by the tireless artisan tradition.<br />
From iron and stone to wood, man forges and manipulates the resources given by the nature, fitting them to his needs and framing new forms, without altering the balances.<br />
Stone pits, where antique trades are renewed by modern tools. Wood workshops, where between creativity and technical ability they produce sculptures, intaglios, handmade articles and restorations. The Art of Iron. As well as the joys and entertainments of tourism: trips, horse and bike riding, fishing and much more, thanks to appropriate accommodation facilities. At last, the local gastronomy, which offers a rare gem: the unrepeatable <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Toma di Lanzo</span>, refined and appreciated for its fragrance, consistency and taste.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong>Handicraft in Maira Valley</strong></h2>
<p><a title="piemonte eccellenza artigiana" href="http://www.regione.piemonte.it/artigianato/" target="_blank"><img title="piemonte eccellenza artigiana" src="http://www.madeinitaly.tv/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/eccellenza_artigiana_logo.gif" alt="piemonte eccellenza artigiana" width="240" height="69" /></a></p>
<p>It is the most secret valley in the area of Cuneo: a land rich in Occitan traditions, in craftsmanship and natural resources. Maira Valley, even through the plain and healthy nature of its population, achieves a lucky relationship between man and environment. Dotted with plenty of villages, stony chapels, medieval buildings and ancient muletracks, the valley features, among other things, a strong tradition of great artisan excellence, still very industrious in many fields: metal and stone manufacturing, bread making, gastronomy (honey, biscuits), wood manufacturing (rural and &#8220;poor art&#8221; furnishing, gift and fancy goods), lace, trills and much more.<br />
The best tour to visit the valley and its various towns (as Busca, Villar S. Costanzo, Roccabruna, Dronero, S. Damiano Macra, Lottulo and many others) is offered by the so-called &#8220;Occitan routes&#8221;: a traditional itinerary abounding in alternative ramifications, with different toughness, which the elder contributed to rebuild and restore. Yet Maira valley breathes and lives on tourism: so it is that family-run facilities give a simple and cosy reception, which helps the tourist orientate and budge oneself in this fresh mountain spot, all to be discovered.</p>

<p><a title="piemonte eccellenza artigiana" href="http://www.regione.piemonte.it/artigianato/" target="_blank"><img title="piemonte eccellenza artigiana" src="http://www.madeinitaly.tv/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/eccellenza_artigiana_logo.gif" alt="piemonte eccellenza artigiana" width="240" height="69" /></a></p>
<p>The area of Vergante is naturally beautiful. The <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Comunità Montana dei due laghi</span> &#8211; Mountain Community of the two Lakes (Lake Maggiore and Lake Orta) includes seven Communes, where natural beauties harmoniously merge with artistic ones. An exceptional landscape, where mount Mottarone acts as watershed between the two lacustrine extents, and a maze of paths, old alleys, among monuments and sacred constructions.<br />
Nebbiuno, Massino Visconti, Pisano, Colazza; Ameno, Miasino and Armeno: within these seven towns concentrates, among others, a rare artisan patrimony, properly decorated with the &#8220;Artisan Excellence&#8221; trademark given by Region Piedmont.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Massino Visconti</span>, besides a curious Umbrella Maker monument, offers the great Castle of the Viscontis. Artisan firms are multifarious, from bread making to flowers (honey, cheese). In the area is remarkable as well the legendary Benedectine abbey of St. Savior.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Nebbiuno</span> distinguishes itself, among others, by the artisan excellence of its wood: furnishing restoration and decoration for antique dealers and churches, as well as refined hand manufactured articles for furnishing and adorning the surrounding villas in Piedmont and Lumbardy. Remarkable is St. George&#8217;s Church, for its great organ and the antique painting that portrays St. George killing the dragon.<br />
The route then unwinds among churches, old alleys and panoramic views of Lake Maggiore, ending in the towns of Tapigliano and Pisano. Then, here it is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Colazza</span>, which is important for the tradition for wrought iron and two major churches, enriched with holy works: St. Bernard and the Immaculate.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ameno</span>, on Lake Orta, may be defined as a little art city: museums, churches, the Oratory of St. Joseph, Palace Tornielli and Museum Calderara.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Miasino</span> as well, besides its interesting baroque church, boasts a prestigious tradition for wood, thanks to renowned masters in furniture-making, very skillful in inlaying ornaments and panels.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Armeno</span>, at last, offers the beautiful Romanic church of the Assumption, and astonishes the visitor with a unique museum dedicated to the hotel life, among antique wines, precious bottles, cookery books and rare menus.<br />
This is the &#8220;<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Comunità Montana dei due laghi</span>&#8220;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Wood, Stone and Robiola cheese in the Langa area near Asti</h2>
<p><a title="piemonte eccellenza artigiana" href="http://www.regione.piemonte.it/artigianato/" target="_blank"><img title="piemonte eccellenza artigiana" src="http://www.madeinitaly.tv/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/eccellenza_artigiana_logo.gif" alt="piemonte eccellenza artigiana" width="240" height="69" /></a></p>
<p>The sole mountain community in the province of Asti is &#8220;Langa Astigiana Val Bormida&#8221;, which includes 16 villages of Piedmont, on the border with region Liguria. The landscape is now hilly, with vineyards and meadows, now mountainous and wooded: resulting in a fascinating and animated scenery, with sharp and steep cliffs.<br />
Such lands, before the Romanic colonization, saw through centuries barbarian raids and incursions, as well as numerous settlements by Gauls and Celtics, as it is still testified by many impressive towers and fortresses, intact or in ruins.<br />
Rural population in the area is busy with three main manufactures: stone, wood and dairy products.<br />
The &#8220;Stone of Langa&#8221; derives from sandstone, and is good for building utilization. It is not mined in caves, but it comes from agricultural activity and from demolition of old facilities: malleable, manageable, pleasant for its appearance, it is used &#8211; mainly dry-stone &#8211; for building hardy hamlets and embankments.<br />
Moreover, since countless generations local artisans have been improving the manufacture of valuable woods: walnut, oak, cherry tree, beech, chestnut. The material is carved, engraved, shaped, often combining antique and modern techniques: and here you are stylish chairs, tables, &#8220;vecchio Piemonte&#8221; style wardrobes and many other pieces of furniture.<br />
As for dairy production, among the 9 DPO Piedmont cheeses of cow, caprine and ovine origins, stands out &#8211; uncontested as for quality and taste &#8211; the valuable ‘Robiola di Roccaverano&#8217;, which is much appreciated abroad as well, produced here by some sixty firms.</p>

<p><a title="piemonte eccellenza artigiana" href="http://www.regione.piemonte.it/artigianato/" target="_blank"><img title="piemonte eccellenza artigiana" src="http://www.madeinitaly.tv/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/eccellenza_artigiana_logo.gif" alt="piemonte eccellenza artigiana" width="240" height="69" /></a></p>
<p>Valley Strona, whose name comes from the torrent, lies over Lake Orta, among bare mountains and wild trees. Its inhabitants are industrious and creative people, attached to the territory. Wood manufacturing is here very diffused. Nowadays the lathe is obviously electric, yet till not long ago it was driven by vanes operated by the water flow. Thus, new technologies and modern plants merge with traditional machinery, and with that manual touch, which bestows the product (gift and fancy goods, kitchenware, furnishings) its precise final footprint. Up-to-date workshops produce now fresh homely product lines, capable of withstanding the most aggressive international competition.</p>
<p>The working cycle contemplates various passages: at first, the logs (ash, poplar, maple, elm, olive tree) are sawed into different sections. Boards and planks are then further chopped, and the resulting parts are subjected to turning and further treatments, even with laser pantograph. Then, painting and desiccation. With the packaging the goods are ready for shipment. This is , as well, prestigious Artisan Excellence, openly acknowledged by the Region.</p>

<p>The &#8220;Comunità Montana della <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.montagnapiemonte.it/comun_montane/30_ceronda/index.shtml" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Val Ceronda e Casternone</a></span>&#8221; &#8211; Mountain Community of Valley Ceronda e Casternone includes a wide and varied territory, full of woods, paths and touristic routes practicable by horse, bike or on foot. Small towns rich in history and traditions, with burghs, castles, churches and ancient chapels, as well as a commercial and productive network made of artisan firms, decorated with the &#8220;Artisan Excellence&#8221; trademark of Piedmont. Thus we have small dairy enterprises, stud-farms, gastronomic and agricultural farms, wood manufacturers, old glassmakers and much more.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Fiano</span>, with its 2703 inhabitants, boasts the beautiful parish church of St. Desiderio, and a nineteenth-century chapel dedicated to St. Antonio Abate. Festivals and public manifestations are frequent: barrel-races, flag-wavers and musicians, between folklore and devotion.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vallo Torinese</span> (747 inhabitants), then, is renowned for the parish baroque church of St. Secondo. The town keeps the remains of Maria Orsola, whose beatification process is ongoing. The parish priest recalls her exemplar figure and life. Castles, parks, tiny churches, ancient chapels and routes for mountain bike surround the area&#8230;<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Val della Torre</span>, with its hamlets, includes 42 burghs. Its centre is overlooked by the beautiful Lombard-Romanesque church with a nave and two aisles. The numerous chapels testify a diffused popular religiousness in the surroundings. Here, as well, festivals and public holidays are lively: wild boar, &#8220;polenta&#8221;, bread and &#8220;focaccia&#8221; for everyone.</p>

The natural scenery is enriched with hills, vineyards and orchards, in a land of overall 113 square kilometres.<br />
Modern commercial and productive assets cohabit here with antique techniques and trades, within a restless tradition that, in many occasions, has been well deserving the longed-for &#8220;Artisan Excellence&#8221; trademark given by Region Piedmont. Pastry shops (soft macaroon), wine farms (Erbaluce, Barbera, Nebbiolo, Dolcetto), gastronomic farmhouses, wood workshops (furnishing, frames) and much more: 11 Communes overall, with a total population of 25,000 inhabitants. By and large, a district of great natural beauty, industrious and diffused wealth, thanks, as well, to the resourceful nature of men and families, among age-old traditions and new technologies.</p>
