Podcasts about brunelleschi

From how many paintings Caravaggio produced, to visiting Florence at Easter time, to how form and color were applied in Renaissance painting, to an overlooked equestrian monument, to finding the wooden beams in Brunelleschi's dome, to the model used by Leonardo da Vinci in three of his most famous paintings, and much, much more - this episode answers the very questions that you ask me about the great art, artists and history of the Italian Renaissance.

A fine marzo ha riaperto il Centro di permanenza per il rimpatrio di corso Brunelleschi a Torino. Un luogo che convive con il territorio da 26 anni, ma che ancora è percepito come un corpo estraneo dagli abitanti del quartiere Pozzo Strada. L'interrogativo che permane è: strutture come questa sono davvero necessarie?Ne abbiamo parlato con Ferrante de Benedictis (Fratelli d'Italia), Luca Pidello (Partito Democratico), Monica Cristina Gallo (garante dei diritti delle persone private della libertà di Torino), Francesca Troise (presidente Circoscrizione Tre)

Sergio Givone"La ragionevole speranza"Solferino Libriwww.solferinolibri.itÈ ragionevole credere nell'aldilà? Non solo non è una questione oziosa, ma c'è anzi un'illustre tradizione filosofica in proposito. Kant si chiedeva «in che cosa possiamo ragionevolmente sperare?» e sosteneva che la vita eterna è una faccenda che riguarda la filosofia prima ancora che la religione. Jaspers parlava della necessità di una «fede filosofica» in grado di fare un po' di luce sulla questione del nulla e anche di quelle potenze oscure che abitano le profondità dell'umano. D'altra parte la riflessione sull'immortalità dell'anima è stata da Socrate consegnata a Platone, da questi a Plotino e poi al neoplatonismo, fino alla mistica speculativa, all'idealismo e infine all'ontologia. Oggi, di questo tema, sembrano essersi perse le tracce.Partendo da quello che hanno scritto questi e altri grandi pensatori, Givone sposta ben presto il discorso all'oggi, per chiedersi come una questione apparentemente sorpassata – l'aldilà, la vita dopo la morte – incredibilmente resti attuale: in molti continuano infatti a strizzarle l'occhio, come non rassegnandosi all'idea di archiviarla del tutto. E così, raccontando anche il momento del commiato a Sergio Staino, cui molti amici dichiaratamente atei auguravano in Palazzo Vecchio a Firenze «buon viaggio», Givone ci consegna un libro che tratta il grande tema della vita dopo la morte restando però saldamente ancorato alla vita stessa, proprio quella che ci tocca vivere in un'epoca disincantata e ignara di qualsiasi trascendenza.Sergio Givone è nato in provincia di Vercelli nel 1944 e risiede a Firenze.Filosofo e romanziere, è professore emerito all'Università di Firenze, dove è stato ordinario di Estetica presso la facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia. I suoi studi riguardano in particolare l'estetica e il pensiero tragico.Tra i suoi libri, Storia del nulla (Laterza 1995), Non c'è più tempo (Einaudi 2008), Metafisica della peste (Einaudi 2012) e Luce d'addio. Dialoghi dell'amore ferito (Olschki 2016).Nel 2018, per Solferino, ha pubblicato Quant'è vero Dio. Perché non possiamo fare a meno della religione, giunto alla quinta edizione, e Fra terra e cielo.

Tras la caí­da de Roma, Italia se sumergió en un profundo letargo, del que no se recuperó hasta el siglo XI, cuando el Sacro Imperio Romano perdió su influencia sobre Italia y empezaron a surgir ciudades-estado. Estas pequeñas repúblicas empezaron a revitalizar sus ciudades y a realizar construcciones a una escala que no se conocí­a desde la época romana. A finales de los siglos XV y XVI, una serie de alianzas tuvieron lugar entre varias ciudades-estado mientras las potencias extranjeras intentaban sacar provecho de Italia. Francia, España y el Sacro Imperio Romano libraron sus batallas en suelo italiano, al tiempo que la amenaza turca se cerní­a sobre las costas de Venecia. Las últimas técnicas de infografí­a y animación recuperan las obras de los grandes artistas y arquitectos del Renacimiento, que fueron también los grandes ingenieros civiles y militares de la época: La creación de un extenso sistema de acueductos subterráneos en Siena, la construcción de la cúpula de Santa Marí­a de las Flores actuada por Brunelleschi, el avance en la fortificación y en la potencia de disparo desarrollado por ingenieros como Sangallo y di Giorgio, además de la recuperación de Roma como ciudad, que abarca desde la reparación de los acueductos de Roma, hasta el traslado del gigantesco obelisco de San Pedro.

Se Donatello nella scultura, Masaccio nella pittura e Brunelleschi nell'architettura furono i grandi protagonisti del primo rinascimento sarà Leon Battista Alberti a dare una sistematizzazione teorica alle innovazioni introdotte nel primo Quattrocento attraverso i suoi famosi trattati.

In Episode 133 of A is for Architecture, I speak with architect, academic, and writer Lorens Holm. We explore the fascinating intersection of architecture, psychoanalysis, and the public realm, themes Lorens addresses in his book, Reading Architecture with Freud and Lacan: Shadowing the Public Realm, (Routledge 2023) where Holm examines how Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalytic theory can illuminate the way we design, inhabit, and interpret spaces. Reading Architecture with Freud and Lacan presents an argument for how architecture shapes—and is shaped by—our unconscious desires, cultural narratives, and societal structures. Lorens also sheds light on the public realm and how the unconscious both informs it but is in particular ways also part of it. From this, we discuss what it means to read architecture not just as physical space but as a layered text of human experience. Lorens can be found on his University of Dundee website, on LinkedIn and even Instagram. The book is linked above, and you can also find his 2010 book Brunelleschi, Lacan, Le Corbusier: Architecture, Space and the Construction of Subjectivity on the Routledge website. Are you an architect? A psychoanalytic thinker? Or just curious about the deeper meanings of the spaces we live in? This one's for you. +  Music credits: ⁠Bruno Gillick

Versione audio: Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1446), scultore, architetto, ingegnere e matematico, è riconosciuto da tutti come il padre del Rinascimento. È stato il primo a chiudere la stagione del Gotico e a riportare l'arte e l'architettura sulla strada del classicismo, riconoscendo l'arte classica come modello assoluto. Vasari, nel Cinquecento, scrisse che «Ei ci fu donato dal […] L'articolo Le basiliche di San Lorenzo e di Santo Spirito di Brunelleschi proviene da Arte Svelata.

Enrico Antonello"Love - Hate"A cura di Sabino Maria FrassàMercato Centrale, Via Sammartini, MilanoMostra aperta fino al 27 agosto 2024www.amanutricresci.com“Enrico Antonello fa dell'ossimoro” spiega il curatore Sabino Maria Frassà “la vera materia della propria ricerca di questo inedito progetto artistico, in cui ha progettato e realizzato personalmente, utilizzando la stampa 3D, dei box luminosi nei quali si possono leggere due parole opposte a seconda del punto di vista da cui le si osserva. Frontalmente, invece, è il caos, una voragine letterale che non permette alcuna lettura, obbligando lo spettatore a muoversi per riuscire a comprendere la scritta. Così come Brunelleschi selezionava con cura il punto di vista dal quale osservare la cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore per interpretare la sua realtà attraverso le regole della prospettiva, questo ciclo di lavori invita lo spettatore a scegliere un punto di vista preciso per la fruizione dell'opera, della quale non si potrà mai avere una visione completa. Le parole selezionate sono deliberatamente scelte tra i più comuni e stereotipati nella lingua inglese, sempre scritte in maiuscolo (qui nell'ordine del punto di vista dell'artista): OPEN – CLOSE, CLEAN – DIRTY, TRUE – FALSE, INSIDE – OUT, LIFE – DEATH, SOFT – ROCK, LOVE – HATE, GOOD – BAD, VICTORY – DEFEAT, SWEET – BITTER. Questa scelta mira a non fornire risposte definitive o formulare teorie rigide, bensì a stimolare l'immaginazione personale dello spettatore attraverso il “bombardamento” di ossimori, anche visivi, che possono essere interpretati in un numero infinito di modi, da altrettanti punti di vista. D'altronde, l'ordine tra i due elementi dell'ossimoro è mobile e fissato solamente nel titolo dall'artista. Questo libro, esso stesso opera d'arte nella e della stessa opera, è una testimonianza del personalissimo “point of view” di Enrico Antonello in un preciso e irripetibile momento.”Enrico Antonello si è diplomato con lode in Pittura presso l'Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia nel 2019. Nel 2017 è stato cofondatore di Default, un progetto culturale dedicato alla promozione di esposizioni ed eventi artistici. Nel 2021 ha partecipato alla residenza In-Edita 2 a Porto Marghera (VE) e al Premio Cardazzo a Trieste, ottenendo una menzione speciale. Nel 2020, ad Agropoli (SA), ha partecipato al premio Artkeys2 vincendo nella sezione installazione. Nel 2019 ha preso parte al Festival Art Stays a Ptuj in Slovenia. Nello stesso anno è stato selezionato per la XIV edizione del Premio Nazionale delle Arti delle Accademie Italiane a Torino e ha vinto il primo Premio Salvi a Sassoferrato (AN). Tra il 2021 e il 2022 ha svolto una residenza presso la Bevilacqua La Masa, con mostra finale a Piazza San Marco curata da Eva Comuzzi. Nel 2022, ha presentato la sua prima personale presso il LAMB all'interno del progetto più ampio della Marina Bastianello Gallery, con cui continua a collaborare. Nel 2023 è arrivato terzo classificato nella sezione “New Media” al concorso Artefici del Nostro tempo promosso dal Comune di Venezia; nello stesso anno ha partecipato ad altri progetti, risultando finalista al premio Combat. Infine, nel 2024 ha vinto il premio “Cramum” e ha presentato una bipersonale con Edoardo Ongarato a cura di Simone Ceschin presso “Universo Factory” a Vittorio Veneto.La sua ricerca artistica si concentra principalmente su luce, suono e movimento. Le sue installazioni multimediali esplorano il mondo del settore industriale, con riferimenti estetici e funzionali presenti nelle correnti architettoniche del Decostruttivismo e del Brutalismo. Nella sua ricerca, l'artista riflette sul significato della pittura contemporanea, esplorando non solo la sua bidimensionalità ma anche l'uso innovativo dei mezzi espressivi tradizionali.Cramum è un progetto senza scopo di lucro che, dal 2012, sostiene i talenti artistici in Italia e nel mondo. Il nome è stato scelto proprio perché significa "crema", la parte migliore (del latte) in latino, lingua da cui deriva l'italiano e su cui si è formata la cultura di Cramum. Cramum ha sostenuto più di 100 artisti e 50 esposizioni, ottenendo numerosi riconoscimenti, tra cui la Medaglia del Presidente della Repubblica Italiana nel 2015. https://www.instagram.com/cramum/ IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

One of the things that annoy us Tuscans to no end is that most of what people know about our land is just wrong. The image that comes to mind to 90% of foreigners that come to visit us is mostly incorrect, just a result of the work of spin doctors, marketing guys and pretty much anyone that wants to sell stuff at an inflated price. This is quite obvious when it comes to food stuff: apparently, just adding the word "Tuscan" to anything allows the manufacturer to raise its price by a significant margin. Everything can be Tuscan, from herbs mixtures that no Tuscan has ever heard of to stuff that would make us cringe. If you ask anyone that knows a little about this land, they will tell you that Tuscan cuisine is all about vegetables, pasta, simple ingredients cooked in creative ways. While dishes like this exist, we Tuscans LOVE our meat. Maybe because it was a rare treat, we worship what we affectionately call "ciccia". The most famous of our meat dishes were born out of necessity: being meat very expensive, we would invent ways to turn the most lowly cuts into masterpieces. The recipe that was invented near Florence was so spectacular that it goes strong six centuries after its creation, which explains why this week What's Up Tuscany will bring you to Impruneta to discover all the secrets of the amazing peposo.If you listen to the full episode you will learn how this beef stew was invented by terracotta workers that looked for a way to turn cheap cuts of meat into a sensational taste bomb. The slow cooked marvel was so incredible that Filippo Brunelleschi, while building the cupola of Florence cathedral, made it the official dish of the building site, spreading the recipe across Tuscany. In the second chapter we will go through the mandatory steps you have to follow to prepare a proper peposo and I will also give you a simple recipe to make this amazing dish in your very kitchen. There's going to be a few practical tips, suggestions on side dishes and the perfect wine to match. In the final chapter I will tell you how Impruneta is so in love with this meat lovers dream to have a November festival with a spectacular cook-off that will make you drool in anticipation. If you can't wait until then, I'll point you to several restaurants both in Impruneta and in Florence where you can enjoy this masterpiece of Tuscan cuisine at its best. While i can't say this is the signature dish of this land without incurring in the wrath of anyone who is not from Florence, I'd so as far as to say that the peposo should be its standard bearer. it has got everything we love about this land: it's made from cuts of meat no one wanted, cooked at low temperature for a long time which makes the meat extra-tender and super tasty. Next time you come to visit us, try it. If you love meat, it's a no brainer!Email: podcast@larno.itFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/larno.itTwitter: @arno_it / @WhatsupTuscanyLINKS TO SOURCES (ITALIAN ONLY)https://www.lacucinaitaliana.it/tutorial/le-tecniche/peposo-impruneta-ricetta/https://www.discoverpistoia.it/peposo-storia-curiosita-ricetta/https://www.today.it/benessere/alimentazione/storia-peposo-ricetta-impruneta-toscana.htmlhttps://www.gazzettinodelchianti.it/impruneta/peposo-day-2023-super-successo-alla-cena-del-peposo-oggi-la-sfida-fra-rioni/BACKGROUND MUSICPipe Choir - Bom Bom Breakthrough (Instrumental)Incompetech - Leopard Print ElevatorMike Chino - Calm and HarmonyWayne John Bradley - Pick You UpWayne John Bradley - Blues Rock Original InstrumentalAll released under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licensehttps://soundcloud.com/pipe-choir-2/pipe-choir-bom-bom-breakthrough-creative-commons-instrumentalhttps://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1500077https://soundcloud.com/argofox/mike-chino-calm-and-harmonyhttps://soundcloud.com/ayneohnradley/pick-you-up-slow-poprock-style-instrumental-creative-commonshttps://soundcloud.com/ayneohnradley/blues-rock-original-instrumentalcreative-commonshttp://www.pipechoir.com/

Una delle cose che infastidiscono di più noi toscani è il fatto che gran parte di quello che i "foresti" pensano di sapere sulla nostra terra è sbagliato. L'immagine che hanno in mente il 90% degli stranieri che vengono a visitarci è solo il risultato del lavoro di pubblicitari, maghi del marketing e chiunque voglia vendere roba da poco a prezzi gonfiati. Specialmente all'estero, aggiungere la parola "toscano" a qualunque cosa sembra autorizzare il produttore ad alzarne il prezzo. Se vai in America o in Inghilterra, qualunque schifezza può essere toscana, da miscugli di erbe delle quali non abbiamo mai sentito parlare a roba che farebbe andare su tutte le furie un cuoco delle nostre parti. Se chiedete in giro di descrivere la cucina toscana, molti vi parleranno di verdure, ribollita, farro, legumi, ricette povere con ingredienti semplici cotti in maniera creativa. Se piatti del genere esistono, molti ignorano che noi toscani adoriamo la carne. Forse perché si mangiava una volta ogni morte di Papa, la "ciccia" in Toscana è una specie di religione. I piatti di carne più famosi sono nati proprio da questo amore sconfinato: visto che la carne costava una fortuna, ci siamo inventati modi creativi per trasformare i tagli meno pregiati in veri e propri capolavori. La ricetta inventata in un paesino sopra Firenze è così spettacolare che è popolarissima nonostante sia stata inventata sei secoli fa. Ecco perché questa settimana What's Up Tuscany vi porterà all'Impruneta per scoprire tutti i segreti del fantastico peposo.Se ascolterete l'intero episodio vi spiegherò come questo stufato di manzo sia stato inventato da lavoratori delle fornaci dove si cuoceva la terracotta per trasformare tagli economici, talvolta quasi andati a male di carne in una bomba di gusto e spezie. Questa meraviglia cuoce talmente a lungo da impressionare perfino Filippo Brunelleschi: quando i "fornacini" dell'Impruneta si trasferirono in Piazza del Duomo per costruire le tegole per la cupola di Santa Maria del Fiore, l'architetto fece del peposo il piatto ufficiale del cantiere. Quando i lavoratori si spostarono nelle altre città toscane, portarono con loro la ricetta. Nel secondo capitolo, invece, vi descriverò i passi fondamentali per preparare un peposo perfetto, con una ricetta passo passo che anche un cuoco mediocre come il sottoscritto riesce a fare bene nella propria cucina. Il peposo si dovrebbe mangiare su pane toscano tostato ma ai più goduriosi fornirò qualche consiglio su contorni e vini ideali da abbinare. Nel capitolo finale vi parlerò di come l'Impruneta sia così innamorata di questa delizia per carnivori da dedicare al peposo una sagra la seconda settimana di Novembre, con una sfida ai fornelli tra i quartieri del paese che vi farà venire l'acquolina in bocca. Se non potete aspettare così a lungo, vi indicherò diversi ristoranti, sia all'Impruneta che a Firenze, dove potete mangiare un perfetto peposo tutto l'anno. Se non posso dire che questo è il piatto principe della cucina toscana senza essere aggredito da chiunque non sia fiorentino, penso che ne dovrebbe essere il portabandiera. Rappresenta tutto quello che rende la Toscana unica al mondo: è fatto da tagli di carne che nessuno voleva, cotto a lungo fino a quando la carne non diventa tenerissima e piena di gusto, trasformandosi in un vero capolavoro. La prossima volta che venite a trovarci, dovete assolutamente provarlo. Se amate anche voi la ciccia, non avete scelta.Email: podcast@larno.itFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/larno.itTwitter: @arno_it / @WhatsupTuscanyI LINK ALLE FONTIhttps://www.lacucinaitaliana.it/tutorial/le-tecniche/peposo-impruneta-ricetta/https://www.discoverpistoia.it/peposo-storia-curiosita-ricetta/https://www.today.it/benessere/alimentazione/storia-peposo-ricetta-impruneta-toscana.htmlhttps://www.gazzettinodelchianti.it/impruneta/peposo-day-2023-super-successo-alla-cena-del-peposo-oggi-la-sfida-fra-rioni/BACKGROUND MUSICPipe Choir - Bom Bom Breakthrough (Instrumental)Incompetech - Leopard Print ElevatorMike Chino - Calm and HarmonyWayne John Bradley - Pick You UpWayne John Bradley - Blues Rock Original InstrumentalAll released under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licensehttps://soundcloud.com/pipe-choir-2/pipe-choir-bom-bom-breakthrough-creative-commons-instrumentalhttps://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1500077https://soundcloud.com/argofox/mike-chino-calm-and-harmonyhttps://soundcloud.com/ayneohnradley/pick-you-up-slow-poprock-style-instrumental-creative-commonshttps://soundcloud.com/ayneohnradley/blues-rock-original-instrumentalcreative-commonshttp://www.pipechoir.com/

Artist, Mandolyn Wilson Rosen, is back with me for another Book Talks episode! In this episode, we are reading Giorgio Vasari's "Lives of the Artists," published 1550/1568 which profiles famous High Renaissance, mostly Florentine artists such as Michelangelo, Raphael, Boticcelli, and a few lesser-knowns. We were so excited about the book that we ran deliciously long and decided to cut it up and make it a two-parter. In Part 1, we cover Vasari's takes on Giotto, Masaccio, Piero Della Francesca, Paolo Uccello, Fra Filippo Lippi, and Madonna Properzia de Rossi (the only woman in the book, and who was even left out of Mandy's earlier English translation!) Part 2 is coming right up - please keep an eye out. Shout out to artist and writer, Elisabeth Nicula, who we quoted in the episode, and to the books that helped form Vasari's masterwork: "The Decameron" by Giovanni Boccaccio and "The Life of Brunelleschi." Also, a tip of the cap to the Virgin's Holy Girdle of Prato, shown to the public only 4 times a year: https://irenebrination.typepad.com/irenebrination_notes_on_a/2017/07/girdle-cintola-prato.html (Really, no one can out-weird the Catholics) The book is available widely, both used and new! We recommend a skim, not a binge.

All'inizio, nel 1400, gli artefici della teoria matematica della prospettiva sono gli artisti, come Brunelleschi o Piero della Francesca. Ben presto le nuove teorie destano l'interesse degli scienziati, che ne studiano le applicazioni possibili fuori dal dominio dell'arte. Tra queste vi è innanzitutto la cartografia, che utilizza le tecniche prospettiche di proiezione per fornire una rappresentazione geografica del mondo. Un compito impegnativo a cui il matematico olandese Mercatore, nel Cinquecento, offre un contributo fondamentale. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vito-rodolfo-albano7/message

La voce di Giovanni Battista da Montesecco ci ha fatto rivivere le ore più buie della Firenze dei Medici. Quando la maggior parte dei congiurati è stata trovata e punita, Montesecco, nonostante abbia rifiutato l'incarico di uccidere il Magnifico, teme ancora per la propria vita. Divorato dai sensi di colpa, il soldato si rifugia in monastero. In questa puntata ripercorreremo gli ultimi 9 giorni di vita di Montesecco: i 9 giorni che hanno preceduto la preziosa confessione che ci ha permesso di scoprire i retroscena più crudi della Congiura dei Pazzi.

26 Aprile 1478, domenica di Pasqua: a Firenze, nella Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, durante la messa, Giuliano de' Medici viene brutalmente ucciso e il fratello Lorenzo il Magnifico ferito. La congiura dei Pazzi è fallita. Ma chi sono i mandanti? Come si è arrivati a questa terrificante pagina di storia? Giovanni Battista da Montesecco (Max Lotti), il congiurato che si è rifiutato all'ultimo di compiere l'efferato gesto, racconta, in questo primo epsiodio, come è stato coinvolto in questa cospirazione che ha cambiato per sempre il corso del Rinascimento.

From the type of snake that appears in Michelangelo's “Last Judgment,” to the suspected poisoning of Pico dell Mirandola and Angelo Poliziano, to Lorenzo Lotto's unorthodox “Annunciation,” to Brunelleschi's role in the development of linear perspective, and much, much more - this episode answers the very questions that you ask me about the great art, artists and history of the Italian Renaissance.

Florencia fue la cuna de uno de los periodos más esplendorosos de la historia de la humanidad; el Renacimiento. De aquella etapa brotaron multitud de artistas y personalidades que con sus obras lograron revolucionar toda una época. Uno de esos protagonistas fue Filipo Brunelleschi que con sus ideas logró construir la cúpula más grande del mundo hasta el día de hoy. Todo un reto arquitectónico que no sólo supuso desafiar los métodos de construcción conocidos hasta entonces si no también dar una solución que salvó a toda una ciudad. Por ello hoy en Historia Exprés abrimos de nuevo la ventana de la Historia del Arte para conocer más en profundidad los entresijos de aquella construcción, las motivaciones que llevaron a levantarla, los secretos de su edificación y la todas las vicisitudes que tuvo que vivir Filipo Brunelleschi para construir una de las maravillas más asombrosas del Renacimiento.

This third and final installment on Filippo Brunelleschi  focuses on his architectural works beyond the Dome of Florence. Brunelleschi's style, in part, defines how we read Renaissance architecture, creating the baseline standard and influencing generations of architects to come. This episode principally explores the Ospedale degli Innocenti and the Medici church of San Lorenzo, contextualizing secular and religious architecture with larger themes of architectural design and Florentine society. Instagram/ FB: italian_renaissance_podcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@theitalianrenaissancepodca2915Support the show

How was the Dome of Florence built? What were the circumstances that helped Brunelleschi solve the greatest architectural mystery of the Renaissance? This episode talks about the predominant Gothic style, and how Brunelleschi adapted it through his sojourn in Rome. What was the role of the Roman Pantheon, and did an unnamed female architect influence the final design of the lantern of the Duomo? Follow us on instagram for images and updates about the show: @italian_renaissance_podcast Support the show

Kicking off this Interseason Trilogy, this episode discusses the early life of Filippo Brunelleschi, the early phases of the construction of the Duomo, and the famous competition against Lorenzo Ghiberti for the commission of the bronze doors of the Baptistry of Florence. All of this is meant as a prelude of how Brunelleschi came to be the architect who solved the mystery of how to construct the largest dome in the world. Support the show

Historian Ross King answers listener questions about his book Brunelleschi's Dome. An incredible story of one man's determination to build an apparently impossible structure, it's a tale of ingenuity, artistic rivalries, and single-minded obsession. Although building had started on Florence's Santa Maria del Fiore in the late thirteenth century, it wasn't until 1418 that local goldsmith Filippo Brunelleschi came up with an audacious way of constructing the magnificent dome, which still dominates the Florence skyline today. But as Brunelleschi's Dome reveals, the architect faced huge obstacles and opposition along the way.

Chances are that if you meet anywhere in the world a Tuscan, it will take him around 5 minutes to start pontificating on the incredible beauty of our land. Foreigners find it rather annoying but it's really beyond our control - we just HAVE to do it. Think I'm exaggerating? OK, name me another place in the world where you can literally bump into a little known archaeological wonder while you're looking for a wine tasting or a restaurant. Almost halfway between Florence and Siena, where the Elsa valley meets the Chianti, you can find something really remarkable. In the distance, on the top of a lonely hill, the unmistakeable contour of the famed Brunelleschi dome, much smaller but perfectly recognizable. Should you wander there and try to figure out what the heck is going on there, you'll be stunned to know that the small chapel was built on the place where, eight centuries ago, a new fortified city willed into existance by the Holy Roman Emperor challenged seriously Florence's domination on central Tuscany. When it was defeated, the city of the Duomo just wanted it erased from history, so much that not a single stone remains there. Just to err on the safe side, they also decreed that nothing could be built there, not even a simple shed. The meteoric rise and precipitous fall of the city that dared to challenge Florence is one of the most fascinating and lesser known stories from Tuscan history. That's why this week What's Up Tuscany will bring you to the Chianti hills to tell you the sad tale of Semifonte, the proud, enterprising city that tried to unseat Florence only to be completely destroyed in the process.

We finally get into the Medici in style with the man who is considered the founder of the family's great fortune and political dominance. We follow Cosimo de Medici as he slowly asserts his power over the Republic of Florence with careful internal and external political manoeuvring to form what some have called the "crypto-signoria" of the Medici, all the whole increasing theri vast wealth in the face of many perils.

I've been hinting about this story for a few episodes now, so here it is. Brunelleschi's Dome is a masterpiece sitting in the city center of gorgeous Florence. The construction was the innovation of Filippo Brunelleschi. Never has this masterpiece been replicated. It is a sight, needless to say. It takes my breath away every time I see it pop into view around the corner. A smaller replica of the dome is located in the now non-existent city of Semifonte. It was once a fortified city between Florence and Siena. The city was wiped off the face of the earth during a siege in 1202. Interesting story, magical place to visit because all that is left is the small chapel an eighth of the size of Brunelleschi's dome. I love all these hidden historical stories in Italy. It's an ancient land with rich history. Not on my email list, sign up here . You'll be the first to hear about my new retreats, new podcast episodes and other events.

Episode 79: As things moved on in the early renaissance art - painting and sculpture - led the way and theatre soon followed.  Artists tried to inject more realism into their work, showing their subjects as they really were, or as close as they could get.  The colours of clothes, skin tones, fruit, countryside scenery and, well, whatever the artist's subject was, became more subtle and realistic as artists looked at the different impacts of viewpoint, light and light sources in paintings and strived to show the world as it really was.  The discovery of an understanding of one thing in particular made those working in the theatre sit up and take note – perspective in art had arrived. Brunelleschi and the discovery of perspective painting. 1414 and the rediscovery of Vitruvius and ‘De Architectura'. Leon Battista Alberti and the beginnings of theatrical perspective design . Pellegrino de San Daniele and his perspective scenery at Ferrara. Architect Sebastiano Serlio, his perspective designs and use of the raked stage and painted flats. The development of wing space as an integral part of theatre design. The problems with perspective scenery. Aristotle de San Gallo and his reintroduction of the ‘periaktoi'. The importance of the introduction of flats throughout theatres. Lighting methods in Italian renaissance theatre. The Teatro Olympico in Vicenza, designed by Andrea Palladio and completed by Vincenzo Scamozzi.  This theatre was the panicle of perspective theatre design with seven arches at the back of the stage using perspective effect but had a short life. Advances in stage machinery by Nicola Sabbatini, known for his flying effects and his fondness for the ‘periaktoi'.  To improve this feature he designed mechanical ways of rotating the periaktoi.  Sabbatini's wave form effect. Giacomo Torelli and his mechanical decice for moving flats on and off stage, the ‘chariot pole system'.

Ciao!In this episode we'll look at five question words for what, who, where, when and how - with examples and some exercises!:)...Question Words:Cosa?, Che cosa?, Che? = whatChi? = whoDove? = whereQuando? = whenCome? = howEx:Cosa leggi? Cos'è un'arancia?Chi è?Chi ha una pizza?Dove sei?Dov'è la piazza?Quando hai tempo?Quando sei alla stazione?Come stai? Com'è il tempo?Note that "cosa è", "dove è" and "come è" are all shortened to "cos'è", "dov'è" and "com'è"!To translate:What is Santa Maria del Fiore?Who is Brunelleschi?When are you in the piazza?Where are you today?Perfetto!

It starts conventionally enough – a solid masonry base facing a narrow street in the centre of the city, classically detailed with columns and porticos, but as it moves upward, it becomes odder, with an almost excessive run of columns around a tower that is then topped by a strange, elongated dome like a simplified version of Brunelleschi's great dome in Florence.

Ambition is defined as having a goal and making whatever sacrifices are necessary to achieve it. A person who seeks such lofty goals in life is called “ambitious.” To such people, mediocrity is the greatest threat. One of art history's most towering examples of ambition is Michelangelo. In this episode we will explore not only how nearly every piece of art he created is defined by ambition, but how his ambition made the world a more beautiful place. Hosted by Scott Einig and featuring Ross King, art historian and author of Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling, The Bookseller of Florence, and Brunelleschi's Dome. Also featuring Andrew Graham-Dixon, art critic, broadcaster and author of A History of British Art, Michelangelo and the Sistine Chapel, and Caravaggio: A Life Sacred and Profane.

Ross King is a Canadian novelist and non-fiction writer. He specialises in books about the history of Art and Architecture. Some of his previous works include Brunelleschi's Dome and The Judgement of Paris.Ross received his PhD from York University in Toronto, where he specialised in 18th century literature. Reading Ross' book, Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling is what originally inspired me to become an artist.

Renaissance art is an art movement that started in the 1300s and ended in the 1400s. It happened when Europe became more wealthy and powerful, and people had more money to spend on art. The renaissance art movement involved artists departing from medieval traditions and creating their unique paintings, sculptures, and architecture.About renaissance artRenaissance art was a cultural movement that changed the way people thought about and created artwork during its time. It is one of the most critical movements in defining Western civilization. During renaissance art, Michelangelo and Raphael painted religious paintings and sculptures, whereas Leonardo da Vinci developed new techniques for using oils to paint on canvas. They also developed new styles of architecture, such as Brunelleschi's "Duomo di Firenze" (Florence Cathedral) and Palladian Villas (Villa Rotunda). The renaissance art movement is said to have ended with the death of El Greco. Get full access to Art Legends in History at www.artlegends.org/subscribe

Tuscany is the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance. It is here one finds Florence, home of some of the most renowned and iconic examples of Italian art, architecture and culture: Michelangelo's David, Giotto's Bell Tower, Brunelleschi's Duomo, the Laurentian Library, and so much more. The rich history of Tuscany and her towns is a feast for one's heart and imagination. Originally a Roman city, Florence rose in prominence and wealth during medieval times. During the years between the 14th and 16th centuries, Florence became a city of great influence, and Tuscany the home of one of Italy's most famous noble families, the Medici family.     With so much to experience in the condensed city of Florence, getting out to see more of Tuscany may be neglected. But it should not be. A way to see the stunning landscape, charming small towns, and breathe the soul-cleansing fresh air ought to be on every itinerary. Enter experiencing Italy from the seat of a bike. In this episode, I talk with Elena Boscherini of Bike Florence & Tuscany, who takes people to do just that.
