Scozia, 1333. La notte cala su un castello che sembra inespugnabile. Dentro, le guardie dormono. Ma fuori, nell'ombra, 40 scozzesi, guidati da un eroico guerriero (e pure parecchio folle), strisciano silenziosi. Stanno per fare l'impensabile: un assalto per prendersi un intero castello. Quello che tutti ritengono un suicidio. Non si tratta di una favola, ma di una vera cronaca medievale: la vicenda di un pugno di eroi all'assalto di un castello inespugnabile. Preparatevi a scoprire l'impresa più disperata mai tentata nella storia medievale.Lorenzo Manara è scrittore di libri storici e fantasy. Acquista subito i miei romanzi!

Luigi Cerutti"Radis"Con la partenza della seconda edizione Radis, il progetto di arte nello spazio pubblico ideato e promosso dalla Fondazione per l'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT – ente art oriented della Fondazione CRT – in collaborazione con la Fondazione CRC, tornano anche gli appuntamenti del public program che avvicineranno il pubblico all'inaugurazione dell'opera di Petrit Halilaj, prevista per il 5 ottobre 2025.Avviato a maggio con un intervento dal titolo L'arte che mette radici con la curatrice Marta Papini e il giornalista Nicolas Ballario nell'ambito del Festival della TV di Dogliani, il public program prosegue da giugno a ottobre con una nuova edizione di Supercondominio e un programma di valorizzazione delle opere di arte pubblica nella provincia di Cuneo, con un focus specifico sul progetto A Cielo Aperto di Fondazione CRC. Ideati da Barbara De Micheli, project manager e producer con consolidata esperienza nella gestione di progetti artistici e culturali, questi itinerari di scoperta delle opere diffuse sul territorio cuneese offriranno al pubblico l'opportunità di esplorare un patrimonio artistico che si fonde con il paesaggio e le comunità locali. Il progetto si riconnette al lavoro di mappatura e valorizzazione avviato dalla Fondazione per l'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT, in occasione della precedente edizione di Radis, una pubblicazione, curata da Vittoria Martini, che censisce e racconta opere radicate nei luoghi, ispirate dalle loro storie e dal dialogo con le comunità che li abitano.Sabato 21 giugno a Mondovì al Museo Civico della Stampa, incontro con l'opera A Song A part di Susan Philipsz; un momento aperto e partecipato per avvicinarsi all'opera sonora di Susan Philipsz e approfondire l'addendum scultoreo recentemente collocato nel giardino del Museo Civico della Stampa di Mondovì. La conversazione vuole raccontare l'opera, la sua genesi e il processo che ha portato alla sua realizzazione e collocazione.Alle ore 10 si terrà il caffè di benvenuto, cui seguirà alle ore 11 una conversazione in giardino tra Marcella Beccaria, storica dell'arte, curatrice e Capo Curatore e Curatore delle Collezioni al Castello di Rivoli Museo d'Arte Contemporanea, e Maurizio Fornero, direttore della Scuola Comunale di Musica di Mondovì e della Fondazione Academia Montis Regalis. Due voci, due punti di vista accompagneranno il racconto dell'opera: da un lato, l'approfondimento storico-musicale che ricostruisce il contesto e la forza simbolica dello spartito barocco di Maddalena Casulana – il primo stampato e firmato da una donna; dall'altro, una lettura contemporanea dell'opera di Susan Philipsz, che con la sua installazione sonora restituisce una voce alla storia.Durante la giornata saranno organizzate visite guidate gratuite al museo e all'opera, a cura del Museo Civico della Stampa.Caffé e partecipazione alla conversazione sono liberi, per la visita guidata è gradita la prenotazione: info@museostampamondovi.it | +39 334 7059307L'opera A Song A Part di Susan Philipsz fa parte del progetto A cielo aperto, finanziato e prodotto da Fondazione CRC in occasione dei 30 anni di attività, con il supporto del Castello di Rivoli Museo d'Arte Contemporanea.Sabato 21 giugno dalle ore 14 e domenica 22 giugno dalle ore 11, a Cuneo al Rondò dei Talenti sarà la volta del Terzo Paradiso dei Talenti di Michelangelo Pistoletto: l'area antistante il Rondò dei Talenti — particolarmente frequentata per il passeggio del fine settimana— verrà animata da mediatrici culturali che coinvolgeranno il pubblico in un gioco partecipativo e poetico. Ai passanti verranno offerti fogli stampati che riportano un'ampia selezione di talenti: dalle capacità manuali a quelle artistiche, dai gesti relazionali ai talenti più inconsueti o trascurati.Ogni partecipante sarà invitato a: scegliere un talento che lo rappresenta, lo incuriosisce o che desidera riscoprire; firmare il foglio come segno di adesione personale; scrivere su un foglio bianco un talento non presente tra quelli proposti, oppure chiedere alla propria compagnia (amico, partner, familiare o anche uno sconosciuto) di scrivere per lui un talento che riconosce o immagina.Tutti i fogli firmati verranno raccolti e allestiti all'interno del Rondò dei Talenti, formando un grande “Nuovo Paradiso dei Talenti”. Attaccati con tape colorati, i fogli comporranno un segno tangibile, una sorta di opera collettiva temporanea e speculare dell'originale, testimonianza della partecipazione collettiva e della ricchezza di talenti spesso invisibili.L'attività è libera, aperta a tutti i passanti.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Maria Grazia Tolfo"Caterina Visconti"Prima duchessa di MilanoEdizioni Meravigliwww.meravigliedizioni.itLa Saga dei Visconti si arricchisce di un nuovo, prezioso e appassionante capitolo!Caterina Visconti (1362-1404), pur essendo figlia di Bernabò, cugina e moglie di Gian Galeazzo e quindi prima duchessa di Milano, nonché reggente a nome dell'erede minorenne Giovanni Maria, è semplicemente sparita dalla nostra memoria. Quando scompare dal suo castello di Monza, non ha i dovuti funerali di Stato, ma nemmeno esequie coi suoi congiunti né una tomba. Cos'è successo di tanto grave da farla totalmente dimenticare?Con questo libro Maria Grazia Tolfo ha raccolto la sfida di rimettere Caterina come protagonista nel suo periodo storico, con un metodo non diverso da quello degli anatomo-patologi che ricostruiscono volti da poche ossa. Nel suo caso aveva un nome senza corpo, conosceva tutte le sue relazioni, il contesto sociale, le eredità genetiche e poteva basarsi su qualche miniatura. Ma soprattutto ha ascoltato i silenzi e annotato le importanti omissioni…Maria Grazia Tolfo (Milano, 1949), laureata in Psicologia dell'educazione degli adulti a Padova, specializzata in Storia dell'arte a Parma, nel 1980 è entrata nel Settore Educazione del Comune di Milano come docente di Educazione permanente. Dal 1989 ha fondato con Paolo Colussi un servizio per la diffusione presso un pubblico non specialistico delle ricerche universitarie e dei dati rinchiusi nei numerosi archivi relativi alla storia di Milano. Il suo ambito di ricerca spaziava dalla nascita di Milano all'età dei Visconti. Dopo la chiusura del Centro Educazione Permanente nel 2003, parte delle monografie dei corsi sono state salvate sul sito storiadimilano.it. Dal 2006 si è dedicata a ricerche di geografia storica europea, allo studio del vedico e dei culti preistorici dell'arco alpino. È l'autrice della scheda sulle raffigurazioni astrologiche della Sala di Griselda nel Museo del Castello Sforzesco, in origine nel Castello di Roccabianca (Parma)IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Il Giornalista e scrittore Massimo Brusasco, all'interno di "Buongiorno PNR", ci ha parlato dello spettacolo che andrà in scena sabato 21 giugno nella cornice del bellissimo castello Sforzini.

Andrea Dellapiana"Artico Festival"Dal 12 al 14 giugno, BraQuesta notte è per te: dal 12 al 14 giugno 2025 arriva la nona edizione di Artico Festival, che quest'anno più che mai vuole essere un invito a ballare, cantare e ridere, a stare insieme immersi nel verde del Parco della Zizzola, in un tempo e in un luogo sospesi, alle soglie dell'estate, in cima alla collina più alta, che domina la città di Bra.Il festival si apre giovedì 12 con Fabio Celenza, ospite fisso di Propaganda Live, amato dal pubblico per i doppiaggi comico-nonsense di personaggi famosi e politici. Parallelamente alla passione per i doppiaggi, Celenza ha mantenuto viva anche quella per la musica e proprio da questa suggestione nasce l'idea di portare in giro per l'Italia, con una band, uno spettacolo in cui questi due elementi si intrecciano. Dopo il successo del primo tour lo scorso anno, il nuovo show che andrà in scena è Faffiga X-Files, in cui si assiste a un concerto ma allo stesso tempo si ride tantissimo, con nuovi personaggi mischiati ad altri diventati ormai indimenticabili.I giorni successivi sono dedicati alla musica. Dopo aver registrato il tutto esaurito al Teatro Politeama di Bra lo scorso inverno, venerdì 13 Marco Castello torna ad Artico per un nuovo concerto, portando sul palco tutta l'energia della sua band. Cantautore siracusano polistrumentista, Castello è una delle voci musicali che più identificano la musica indipendente di questi anni e il suo successo reale, nato dal basso, lo conferma. Ad aprire la serata sarà la Niña, pioniera nel mettere in dialogo tradizione e musica del presente, proiettandole nel futuro. Con Figlia d'‘a tempesta, singolo tratto dal suo ultimo album Furèsta, la cantautrice napoletana ha conquistato il primo posto della classifica Spotify Viral con una canzone che canta la rabbia delle donne contro le sopraffazioni di tutti i tempi. Al termine dei live, sarà il momento del Ti Amo Dj Set.Sabato 14 le luci si abbassano, per una serata da ballare sotto le stelle. Dopo un trionfale tour europeo, che questa primavera ha toccato i più importanti club di città come Amsterdam, Londra e Berlino, okgiorgio sarà a Bra con il suo progetto di musica elettronica e avant-pop. Il live-set al Parco della Zizzola si preannuncia un'esplosione di suoni e vibrazioni: impossibile restare fermi. Prima di lui, sul palco di Artico Festival salirà Whitemary, con il suo affascinante mondo sonoro, caratterizzato dall'inconfondibile delivery della voce - a metà tra il parlato e il canto di matrice jazz. Apre la serata Alec Temple, i cui testi sono intrisi di miti antichi, ma guidati da una cassa dritta. Vincitore assoluto dell'ultima edizione del Premio Buscaglione, nello stesso concorso il cantautore cremonese si è aggiudicato anche il Premio Booster e il Premio Discografico. La data ad Artico si svolge in collaborazione con Casa Pride e fa parte del tour che quest'estate porterà i vincitori del Premio Buscaglione in giro per l'Italia.Torna il Garden Stage, il palco off di Artico dedicato ai live unplugged sul prato, quest'anno supportato dalla rivista Siamo un magazine. Venerdì sarà protagonista Edera, il progetto solista di Margherita Ferracini, la cui musica è caratterizzata da un sound che richiama il mondo nordico dark/electro-pop. Sabato è il momento di Amore Audio, il progetto musicale di Alessandro Scola e Luigi Lonetto, nato nel 2024 dall'evoluzione del loro percorso artistico e dalla passione condivisa per la musica elettronicaArtico Festival 2025 è organizzato dall'associazione culturale Switch On, in collaborazione con il Comune di Bra, con il contributo di Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo e di Fondazione CRC nell'ambito del bando POP, con il sostegno di Nova Coop e Cambieri.it. L'artwork è a cura di Ortica Studio.Sostenibilità, accessibilità e “fare rete”: l'impegno di Artico Festival 2025.Anche nel 2025 Artico rinnova il suo impegno per realizzare un festival il più possibile sostenibile. È confermato l'utilizzo di stoviglie compostabili per quanto riguarda l'area food, all'interno della quale il pubblico troverà anche diverse proposte vegan. Il bar sarà dotato di bicchieri riutilizzabili e di un erogatore attraverso cui ricaricare gratuitamente l'acqua.Grazie a queste iniziative, per il secondo anno Artico è l'unico evento della provincia di Cuneo a entrare a far parte del parte del progetto Worldrise Musica per il Mare, il cui scopo è ridurre l'impatto ambientale dell'industria della musica.Da quest'anno il festival è riconosciuto anche dall'associazione Plasticfree, che ha accordato ad Artico il bollino che lo certifica come Eco Event Plastic Free: un riconoscimento dedicato a tutti gli eventi che si impegnano ad essere sostenibili dal punto di vista ambientale, con un focus specifico alla gestione dei rifiuti e all'eliminazione dell'utilizzo della plastica.Torna l'Area Chill, uno spazio distante dal palco, pensato per chi desidera godersi la musica lontano dalla ressa, e gestito in collaborazione tra Artico e diverse realtà attive sul territorio. Ad occuparsi dell'allestimento sarà il Progetto ABS, presente con un banchetto presso cui trovare informazioni sull'utilizzo di sostanze e la riduzione del danno, materiale e alcol test gratuiti. Torna Casa Pride, la prima associazione con sede a Bra che riunisce le persone queer e alleate che hanno a cuore la lotta contro ogni marginalizzazione e la costruzione di un territorio sempre più aperto e inclusivo. Per la prima volta ad Artico, arriva ANSGA - Associazione Nazionale Genitori Persone con Autismo. La Cooperativa Sociale Progetto Emmaus, proporrà anche quest'anno il vino sociale 8pari, la cui realizzazione si basa sull'inserimento lavorativo di persone fragili all'interno del processo produttivo del vino. Sarà presente inoltre Spaghetti persi, progetto braidese che dal 2020 realizza ricami personalizzati. Nel parco verrà allestito un piccolo punto vendita e qui verranno proposte anche delle dimostrazioni di ricamo sul momento, sia su stoffa che su tote bag.Ogni giorno prima dell'apertura cancelli, a partire dalle 18,30, il parco ospiterà un laboratorio a cura della psicologa Anita Arena, ognuno pensato per riconnettersi con se stessi, l'ambiente circostante e stare in ascolto. Ogni sera, un tema e un workshop diverso. La partecipazione è gratuita, ma soggetta all'acquisto del biglietto per la serata, con iscrizione obbligatoria alla mail progetti@switchonfuture.it. Maggiori informazioni anche sul sito switchon.blog.Grazie alla collaborazione con il Comune di Bra, il pubblico potrà raggiungere il parco attraverso un servizio di navette disponibile sia all'andata che al ritorno (un euro a tratta), con partenza da piazza Spreitenbach e una fermata intermedia in piazza Caduti per la Libertà (orari e informazioni sul sito articofestival.it).“La nona edizione di Artico ce la siamo immaginati come un regalo, un invito da rivolgere al pubblico prima di tutto, ma anche a noi che questo evento lo organizziamo”, commenta Roberto Piumatti, presidente dell'associazione Switch On. “Da sempre l'estate è un periodo pieno di promesse, un tempo sospeso da vivere sempre all'aperto, divertendosi con i propri amici e andando a tanti concerti. Così siamo arrivati al tema di quest'anno ‘Questa notte è per te': nelle tre serate di Artico il nostro desiderio è far vivere a tutte le persone che saranno con noi al Parco della Zizzola quella sensazione di leggerezza e condivisione. A livello di contenuti, abbiamo avuto cura di costruire una line up che rispecchi le diverse anime del festival: passiamo dalla comicità, al cantautorato e alla sperimentazione, sempre tenendo un occhio attento su ciò che accade di interessante nella scena musicale a livello nazionale e non solo”.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Domenico Wanderlingh"L'ultima estate a Villa Domus"Un nuovo caso per Anita LandiGuanda Editorewww.guanda.itUna mattina di dicembre, in una radura al Parco Regionale della Maremma, il cadavere di un uomo con le gambe mezze sepolte nella terra viene rinvenuto vicino a un albero crollato. Sono state le radici che, smuovendola terra durante la caduta, lo hanno dissotterrato. Il corpo pare essere lì da qualche tempo. A occuparsi dell'indagine è la neopromossa commissaria Anita Landi, che da poco si è trasferita a Talamone insieme alla figlia Alice. Lo stesso giorno, l'avvocato Francesco Gazzola, caro amico di Anita, viene convocato da una delle più influenti industriali italiane, Costanza Bernardini. La donna lo incarica di rivedere le carte processuali sull'omicidio della figlia dodicenne Arianna, avvenuto nel settembre del 2000 durante una festa di compleanno a Villa Domus, la residenza di famiglia all'Isola del Giglio. Per il delitto era stato condannato un amico del figlio maggiore, che però si è sempre dichiarato innocente. Ventidue anni dopo, prima di morire in carcere invia una lettera a ciascuno dei presenti in quel tragico fine settimana, in cui proclama ancora la sua innocenza e suggerisce che il nome del vero assassino sia scritto tra le pagine del diario di Arianna, diario che non è mai stato recuperato. Per Costanza Bernardini qualcosa non torna, e ora una delle persone presenti quella sera sembra scomparsa... L'inchiesta di Anita finirà per intrecciarsi con quella di Francesco e i due dovranno vedersela con l'ostilità e la reticenza dei testimoni dell'epoca. Nessuno vuole smuovere le acque, tutti vogliono dimenticare e alcuni sono disposti a qualunque cosa per cancellare ogni traccia.Domenico Wanderlingh è nato a Palermo ma vive tra Milano e Città di Castello. Dopo aver autopubblicato due romanzi e un'antologia di racconti molto apprezzati in rete, ha esordito in libreria con la serie dedicata alle indagini dell'ispettrice Anita Landi. Il primo caso, Il passato non si cancella, e il secondo, È colpa mia, sono stati riproposti in TEA, mentre per Guanda è uscito il romanzo L'enigma della carta Varese (Premio letterario Franco Fedeli).IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Voleva essere un re, fu solo un tiranno spietato, sanguinario, assetato di soldi e di potere. La storia di Hans Frank insegna come la spietatezza non conosco limiti, neppure negli uomini di Legge. Già difensore di Hitler in numerosi processi, Frank si insediò nel Castello di Wawel a Cracovia (luogo di incoronazione e di sepoltura dei sovrani polacchi) decidendo della sorte di milioni di innocenti. Le sue direttive portarono alla morte ebrei e polacchi mentre lui e la moglie Brigitte vivevano un'esistenza di lussi e sfarzi costruita anche sul contrabbando di tesori d'arte.

Linda Tugnoli"Art Night"Rai5Art Night – Il volto e l'animaIndagine sul ritratto femminileL'intelligenza artificiale ha un problema con le donne, in particolare, con il modo con cui crea immagini che dovrebbero rappresentarle. Molti osservatori hanno notato che tende a generare, qualunque sia il “promt”, cioè la richiesta, donne troppo perfette, ipersessualizzate, preferibilmente dai tratti occidentali. Nei suoi dataset si sono depositati pregiudizi e bias preesistenti, impliciti nei milioni di immagini con cui è stata nutrita. Lo racconta il doc “Indagine sul ritratto femminile”, in onda mercoledì 21 maggio alle 21.15 in prima visione su Rai 5 per l'Art Night di Neri Marcorè.L'arte ha aiutato a forgiare quest'immagine archetipica del femminile? O potrebbe, invece, rappresentare un antidoto alla standardizzazione dei canoni estetici oggi in atto? Una storia del ritratto femminile è un viaggio che dalle Veneri preistoriche senza volto giunge fino al ‘900, in cui gli artisti hanno utilizzato il ritratto anche per esplorare tematiche di genere, identità e potere, a volte sfidando le convenzioni sociali e le aspettative riguardanti il “bel sesso”. Un viaggio che attraversa quindi numerose tematiche, dall'evoluzione dei canoni di bellezza femminile, al ruolo della donna nella società e nell'immaginario artistico e letterario maschile, alla nascita di un'arte “al femminile”, a una storia del costume. Giada Pistilli, responsabile dell'etica per una piattaforma di intelligenza artificiale franco-americana, Hugging Face, con sede a Parigi, punta il dito contro i limiti e i bias relativi all'immagine femminile, ipersessualizzata e stereotipata, nell'AI e nel mondo di Internet in genere. Per l'arte preistorica, dove dominano rappresentazioni femminili della fertilità e della maternità, si visita il Musée d'Archéologie Nationale in Francia, a St. Germain-en-Laye, intervistando Catherine Schwab, responsabile delle collezioni paleolitiche e mesolitiche, sulla celebre Dama di Brassempouy, forse il volto più antico nella storia dell'arte europea con i suoi 25.000 anni. Per l'arte egizia, Christian Greco, Direttore del Museo Egizio a Torino parla dei ritratti di due bellissime regine, Nefertiti e Tye. Luana Toniolo, Direttrice del Museo Nazionale Etrusco di Villa Giulia a Roma e Vincenzo Bellelli, Direttore del Parco Archeologico di Cerveteri e Tarquinia, vanno in uno straordinario viaggio attraverso le rappresentazioni femminili nell'arte etrusca, sottolineando il diverso ruolo sociale della donna nel mondo etrusco rispetto al mondo greco-romano. Fabrizio Paolucci, responsabile della Collezione delle Antichità Classiche delle Gallerie degli Uffizi, a Firenze, racconta la meravigliosa Giulia di Tito, un capolavoro della ritrattistica romana del II secolo d.C. Si indaga, inoltre, su un interessante fenomeno seicentesco, “Le stanze delle belle”, quelle “serie” o collezioni di ritratti femminili che riunivano tutte le esponenti delle famiglie nobili, con Francesca Cappelletti, Direttrice della Galleria Borghese a Roma, che a questo tema così particolare ha dedicato un libro, con Francesco Petrucci, conservatore del Palazzo Chigi in Ariccia dove si conserva una delle rarissime Stanze delle belle giunte fino a noi e Veronica Ambrosoli, responsabile dell'Ufficio Conservazione del FAI, Fondo Ambiente Italiano, che apre le porte dello straordinario Castello di Masino, nel Canavese, che ospita una collezione di belle donne francesi. Con Cristina Mazzantini, Direttrice della Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, a Roma, si arriva fino alle soglie della modernità analizzando il fondamentale cambiamento del ruolo delle donne nella società tra ‘800 e ‘900, evidente nei volti affascinanti di Modigliani, Klimt o di Boldini conservati alla GNAM. Grazie a un accordo di collaborazione con il prestigioso Museo d'Orsay, a Parigi, che ospita la più importante collezione di opere d'arte della seconda metà dell'ottocento e in particolare dell'impressionismo, Sylvie Patry e Leïla Jarbouai approfondiscono il cambiamento forse più importante per il ritratto femminile nell'era moderna: la conquista di uno spazio autonomo da parte di artiste donne come Berthe Morisot, tra i fondatori del movimento impressionista, grazie alle quali finalmente acquista diritto di cittadinanza nel mondo dell'arte lo sguardo delle donne sulle donne. Anche tra i pionieri della fotografia, più o meno negli stessi anni, si possono annoverare diverse donne, come per esempio Julia Margaret Cameron, che, secondo Federica Muzzarelli, docente di Storia della Fotografia all'Università di Bologna, colgono con sorprendente rapidità e originalità le potenzialità proprie del nuovo mezzo, forse approfittando proprio della loro marginalità rispetto al mondo ufficiale della cultura e dell'arte.Il documentario, scritto da Linda Tugnoli e prodotto da Mark in video in collaborazione con Rai Cultura, è stato girato in Italia e in Francia integrando in modo sperimentale le tradizionali tecniche di ripresa e di grafica con tecniche di animazione con intelligenza artificiale. Art NightIndagini sull'autoritrattoViviamo nell'era del selfie: l'ultimo decennio ha visto la costruzione di un nuovo io, idealizzato, esibito e condiviso sui social; dappertutto nascono musei del selfie che predispongono sfondi appositi perché non ci basta più collezionare immagini di noi nel mondo. Secondo alcuni, questa nuova identità digitale rischia di svuotarci della nostra interiorità. L'arte è un punto di osservazione privilegiato su questo aspetto del mondo contemporaneo. Lo racconta “Indagini sull'autoritratto”, in onda in prima visione per l'Art Night di Neri Marcorè mercoledì 28 maggio alle 21.15 su Rai 5.L'autoritratto ha uno statuto assolutamente particolare all'interno della storia dell'arte: si trova all'intersezione di almeno tre elementi centrali: l'artista, la sua arte e la sua persona, intesa nel doppio significato del personaggio pubblico che l'artista intende mettere in scena e dell'individuo con la sua verità, con i suoi tratti distintivi, fisiognomici e caratteriali. Il compito di creare un proprio volto che resterà per sempre può far vacillare l'artista più sicuro di sé. A volte le facce non sono giuste, non hanno l'aspetto che dovrebbero avere: Van Dick, autore di austeri ritratti di nobili e di reali, sembra un bambino biondo; Delacroix così appassionato, così romantico, ha due baffetti a spazzola sotto un naso un po' antipatico; Degas ha un'aria un po' imbambolata; Rembrandt, nella serie di autoritratti più formidabile della storia dell'arte, non riesce a decidersi nemmeno sul suo colore d'occhi o di capelli, ma ci rivela che l'identità individuale è mutevole, come sono mutevoli le alterne fortune della vita e i segni che lo scorrere del tempo lascia sul corpo.C'è differenza tra un selfie e un autoritratto? Questo è stato il punto di partenza di questo viaggio, a Parigi, insieme a Dominique Cardon, sociologo del Médialab dell'università di SciencesPo.Il documentario, scritto da Linda Tugnoli e prodotto da Mark in video in collaborazione con Rai Cultura, è stato girato in Italia e in Francia integrando in modo sperimentale tecniche di animazione con intelligenza artificiale alle tradizionali tecniche di ripresa e di grafica.Linda Tugnoli vive tra Roma – dove lavora come autrice e regista di documentari, soprattutto per la Rai – e la campagna sabina, dove abita in un casale con il marito, tre figli, un orto, una serra e svariati cani di grossa taglia che periodicamente devastano l'orto e la serra. Ha contratto anni fa quello che gli inglesi chiamano il bug del giardiniere: una spiccata tendenza a parlare troppo di piante e di fiori. La forma del ghiaccio è il terzo romanzo dedicato alle indagini del giardiniere Guido.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Carlo Allemano"Start  Storia Arte Saluzzo"La Mostra Nazionale Antiquariato di Saluzzo, curata da Franco Brancaccio, dopo alcuni anni di crescendo in termini di proposta e pubblico, torna con uno spazio di grande fascino, la Castiglia, il Castello dei Marchesi di Saluzzo, e si conferma come uno dei luoghi dell'Antiquariato italiano. Per la settima edizione consecutiva, il curatore Franco Brancaccio si propone di raccontare storie di antiquariato e oggetti pregiati e antichi, proseguendo, e anzi rilanciando, la scia del successo che la storica manifestazione saluzzese, anno dopo anno, ha saputo ottenere. Il gusto e la definizione di “bellezza” cambiano negli anni, ma Saluzzo resta una nicchia dove la tradizione ha radici che affondano nel secolo scorso e l'attenzione all'arte antica non è mai venuta meno. Tante le meraviglie che il pubblico potrà ammirare grazie alla selezione di case Antiquarie che ancora una volta scommettono su una manifestazione capace di consolidarsi negli anni come scrigno in grado di unire l'innovazione dell'Antiquariato di oggi alla storia che permea la città. Da alcuni anni, grazie all'intuizione e alla caparbietà del curatore, è stata proposta una curiosa novità introducendo l'Antiquariato da giardino: uno spazio di grande suggestione nel bellissimo cortile della Castiglia ispirata da Paolo Pejrone, storico del giardino e architetto. Si è così sviluppato un nuovo ambito di interesse che ha offerto uno sguardo anche sulla bellezza dell'esterno, da sempre oggetto di un vero e proprio mondo di arte antica in pietra, marmo, ferro battuto. Anche il 2025 vedrà un ampliamento e una rivisitazione dello spazio esterno. La Mostra Nazionale dell'Antiquariato si conferma fiore all'occhiello di START / Storia Arte Saluzzo, manifestazione che per un mese racconta la cultura, la storia, la bellezza di Saluzzo. Antiquariato come narrazione del bello senza tempo, del lavoro di gallerie che caparbiamente portano l'arte in tour offrendo al mondo la possibilità di ammirare, acquistare e comprendere il procedere della storia e con esso l'evoluzione dell'arte. Anche il 2025, oltre a ospitare grandi Case d'Arte italiane e internazionali, porterà in Castiglia una Mostra collaterale capace di incuriosire e sorprendere. Tema: la giovinezza. Prendendo spunto da quegli affreschi che impreziosiscono il bellissimo Castello della Manta, ricchi di eroi ed eroine rappresentati alle pareti del Salone che esprimono la passione della società aristocratica del Quattrocento e dalla fontana della giovinezza, la Mostra Nazionale dell'Antiquariato vuole dedicare alcuni spazi della Castiglia di Saluzzo all'arte pittorica che nei secoli ha descritto giovinezza e bellezza. In concomitanza con la 48^ Mostra Nazionale dell'Antiquariato, il Castello della Manta, Bene del FAI Fondo per l'Ambiente Italiano, nel periodo dal 17 al 25 maggio, dedicherà un focus specifico alla Fontana della Giovinezza durante le visite guidate in programma. Inoltre, per tutti i visitatori, sarà attiva una speciale convenzione sul biglietto d'ingresso per chi effettuerà le visite ad entrambe le mostre: per ottenere lo sconto in entrambi i musei sarà sufficiente mostrare il biglietto di ingresso ricevuto alla prima visita.

The island is home to features like the Apennine Coast, the Adriatic Coast, and the Apennine Mountains. Most of Sardinia's population lives in the capital region of Cagliari, but much of the island remains untouched, offering visitors a glimpse into authentic Italian island life.One of Sardinia's most fascinating distinctions is that the Barbagia region is recognized as a Blue Zone—an area with an unusually high number of centenarians. This longevity is attributed to the region's healthy diet, active lifestyle, and strong sense of community. For outdoor enthusiasts, inland Sardinia offers some of the best biking and hiking experiences in all of Italy.Tourissimo Tip–What is a Blue Zone? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/blue-zoneThe island's coastlines are just as enticing. Costa Smeralda is often described as paradise on earth, with stunning beaches like Spiaggia di Tuerredda, Cala Goloritzé, and Spiaggia di Porto Giunco perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Don't miss the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park (Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena), a protected area with crystal-clear waters and pristine landscapes.Charming towns such as Alghero, Bosa, and Cagliari add to the island's appeal. Many of Sardinia's towns are nestled in the mountains located in the island's center, offering a peaceful and scenic escape.Cultural and historical attractions abound. Must-see sites include the Nora Archaeological Park, Bastione di Saint Remy, Parco Archeologico Naturalistico di Santa Cristina, and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari. For an unforgettable natural wonder, venture into the Frecce delle grotte srl and Neptune's Grotto, stunning sea caves accessible by boat or stairs carved into cliffs.Sardinia is also home to a unique ancient civilization. Scattered across the island are over 7,000 nuraghe—megalithic stone structures built during the Nuragic Age (c. 1900–730 BC). These mysterious, tower-like buildings are the island's most iconic symbol, and some scholars believe there were once over 10,000 nuraghe structures in total.Religious architecture also impresses, with highlights like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Cecilia, the Church of the Holy Trinity of Saccargia, and the Basilica di San Simplicio showcasing Sardinia's spiritual and artistic heritage.Sardinian cuisine reflects its mountainous geography. Surprisingly, for an island, the diet leans more toward land-based ingredients than seafood. Signature dishes include Porceddu (roast pig), Fregola (a traditional Sardinian pasta), and the adventurous Casu marzu—a sheep's milk cheese intentionally infested with live maggots and considered a local delicacy. Sardinia also holds 16 one-star Michelin restaurants.To accompany these flavors, try a glass of Cannonau red wine, known for its high polyphenol content and potential health benefits, or the refreshing Vermentino white wine, perfect for warm Mediterranean days.Tourissimo Tip–Magic Trick or Pasta Making? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/magic-trick-or-pasta-making From the Alps to the Mediterranean, each Italian region is a world of its own.

The island is home to features like the Apennine Coast, the Adriatic Coast, and the Apennine Mountains. Most of Sardinia's population lives in the capital region of Cagliari, but much of the island remains untouched, offering visitors a glimpse into authentic Italian island life.One of Sardinia's most fascinating distinctions is that the Barbagia region is recognized as a Blue Zone—an area with an unusually high number of centenarians. This longevity is attributed to the region's healthy diet, active lifestyle, and strong sense of community. For outdoor enthusiasts, inland Sardinia offers some of the best biking and hiking experiences in all of Italy.Tourissimo Tip–What is a Blue Zone? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/blue-zoneThe island's coastlines are just as enticing.

Don't miss the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park (Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena), a protected area with crystal-clear waters and pristine landscapes.Charming towns such as Alghero, Bosa, and Cagliari add to the island's appeal. Many of Sardinia's towns are nestled in the mountains located in the island's center, offering a peaceful and scenic escape.Cultural and historical attractions abound. Must-see sites include the Nora Archaeological Park, Bastione di Saint Remy, Parco Archeologico Naturalistico di Santa Cristina, and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari. For an unforgettable natural wonder, venture into the Frecce delle grotte srl and Neptune's Grotto, stunning sea caves accessible by boat or stairs carved into cliffs.Sardinia is also home to a unique ancient civilization. Scattered across the island are over 7,000 nuraghe—megalithic stone structures built during the Nuragic Age (c. 1900–730 BC). These mysterious, tower-like buildings are the island's most iconic symbol, and some scholars believe there were once over 10,000 nuraghe structures in total.Religious architecture also impresses, with highlights like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Cecilia, the Church of the Holy Trinity of Saccargia, and the Basilica di San Simplicio showcasing Sardinia's spiritual and artistic heritage.Sardinian cuisine reflects its mountainous geography. Surprisingly, for an island, the diet leans more toward land-based ingredients than seafood. Signature dishes include Porceddu (roast pig), Fregola (a traditional Sardinian pasta), and the adventurous Casu marzu—a sheep's milk cheese intentionally infested with live maggots and considered a local delicacy. Sardinia also holds 16 one-star Michelin restaurants.To accompany these flavors, try a glass of Cannonau red wine, known for its high polyphenol content and potential health benefits, or the refreshing Vermentino white wine, perfect for warm Mediterranean days.Tourissimo Tip–Magic Trick or Pasta Making? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/magic-trick-or-pasta-making From the Alps to the Mediterranean, each Italian region is a world of its own.
