Podcasts about Cortona

Cortona, the alias of UK/Italy-based producer Enzo, channels decades of eclectic listening into atmospheric, groove-heavy club tracks. A formative night seeing Primal Scream with Andrew Weatherall lit the fuse for his dive into electronic music, eventually leading him to become a founding proponent of Plastic Fantastic—one of the scene's most influential progressive house labels. That legacy pulses through Cortona's work, with his recent releases finding homes on imprints ranging from Bedrock to Music To Die For. On this Balance Selections, Cortona balances analog nostalgia with modern fluidity. Featuring tracks from Mike Rish, Jamie Stevens, and Hermanez, this nearly three-hour mix leans into nocturnal energy to deliver a vintage progressive punch, weaving deep builds and emotive peaks into a seamless late-night journey. @cortona-195601059

Full Text of ReadingsFriday of the Fourth Week of Easter Lectionary: 283The Saint of the day is Saint Margaret of CortonaSaint Margaret of Cortona's Story Margaret was born of farming parents in Laviano, Tuscany. Her mother died when Margaret was seven; life with her stepmother was so difficult that Margaret moved out. For nine years she lived with Arsenio, though they were not married, and she bore him a son. In those years, she had doubts about her situation. Somewhat like Saint Augustine, she prayed for purity—but not just yet. One day she was waiting for Arsenio and was instead met by his dog. The animal led Margaret into the forest where she found Arsenio murdered. This crime shocked Margaret into a life of penance. She and her son returned to Laviano, where she was not well received by her stepmother. They then went to Cortona, where her son eventually became a friar. In 1277, three years after her conversion, Margaret became a Franciscan tertiary. Under the direction of her confessor, who sometimes had to order her to moderate her self-denial, she pursued a life of prayer and penance at Cortona. There she established a hospital and founded a congregation of tertiary sisters. The poor and humble Margaret was, like Francis, devoted to the Eucharist and to the passion of Jesus. These devotions fueled her great charity and drew sinners to her for advice and inspiration. She was canonized in 1728. St. Margaret of Cortona’s liturgical feast is celebrated on February 22. Reflection Seeking forgiveness is sometimes difficult work. It is made easier by meeting people who, without trivializing our sins, assure us that God rejoices over our repentance. Being forgiven lifts a weight and prompts us to acts of charity. Click here for more on Saint Margaret of Cortona! Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

In this episode of our podcast, Kimberly and Tommaso offer insights that contrast with the often-misleading online travel information. They also share a few history-rich experiences in Rome, which eventually lead to the Tour di Negroni. Key Points: The Myth of the Perfect Itinerary: Many travelers aim to visit multiple attractions in a single day, overlooking travel logistics. We share our personal travel experiences and suggestions, but we are also honest about a few of the drawbacks of mass tourism. Online content often paints an unrealistic picture of what can be achieved in a day. Episode Highlight: “Tour di Negroni” Our month-long trip to eight destinations included tasting the iconic Italian Cocktail, the Negroni Throughout Italy, we sample various Negronis, each with unique styles and presentations. The History of the Negroni We delve into the history of the Negroni, which was invented in 1919 by Count Camillo Negroni while he was in Florence. Memorable Stops and Culinary Breaks We take a brief hiatus from our Tour di Negroni while spending 10 days in the Dolomites and Copenhagen for Christmas. Reflections and Future Plans The journey concludes humorously, with a mention of returning four pounds lighter after our 35-day adventure. Looking ahead to next week's episode which is on the Tuscan village of Cortona.

"So this is it. I am thirty nine years old. I am sitting at a table in a medieval piazza with a black moleskine journal. I am sipping a glass of Chianti Classico. I stare at the menu with none other than Luca Signorelli on the cover. I like the words Gran Caffe Signorelli. Luca Signorelli was born in Cortona in 1441. He is still revered. Signorelli's art is in many of the museums and churches in Cortona and well, all around the world. I salute the artist, and the joy of making it this far, on this grand tour of mine.

rWotD Episode 2632: Gabriel François Doyen Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia’s vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Thursday, 18 July 2024 is Gabriel François Doyen.Gabriel François Doyen (French: [gabʁjɛl fʁɑ̃swa dwajɑ̃]; 1726 – 5 June 1806) was a French painter who was born in Paris.He became an artist against his father's wishes, becoming a pupil at the age of twelve of Charles-André van Loo. Making rapid progress, he obtained at twenty the Grand Prix de Rome, and in 1748 set out for Rome. He studied the works of Annibale Carracci, Pietro Berrettini da Cortona, Giulio Romano and Michelangelo, then visited Naples, Bologna and, crucially, Venice. While in the latter city Doyen was greatly influenced by the work of the famous colourists, such as Titian.In 1755 returned to Paris and, at first unappreciated and disparaged, he resolved by one grand effort to achieve a reputation, and in 1758 he exhibited his Death of Virginia. It was completely successful, and procured him admission to the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture. Doyen was also influenced by Peter Paul Rubens after a visit to Antwerp. This influence is, perhaps, best displayed in his Le Miracle des ardents, painted for the church of St Genevieve at St Roch (1767). This painting was exhibited in the salon of 1767, which was recorded by Saint-Aubin in "View of the salon of 1767'". Art historian Michael Levey described this painting as the 'high point' in the artist's career, suggesting the drama of the piece may be a precursor to that which characterises the French Romantic painting of the 19th century. He notes how the writhing figures of the foreground are similar to those found in The Raft of the Medusa by Théodore Géricault. In 1773 Doyen painted his The Last Communion of St Louis for the high altar of the chapel at the École Militaire; it is strongly reminiscent of The Last Communion of St Jerome by Domenichino and displays a sharp clarity of message, required by its position far above the high altar. Another notable work of this period in Doyen's life is the Triumph of Thetis for the chapel of the Invalides. In 1776 he was appointed professor at the academy.During the initial stages of the French Revolution he became active in the national museum project; however in 1791 he left France for Russia on the invitation of Catherine II of Russia. He settled in St Petersburg, where he was much honoured by the Imperial family and Russian art establishment. He died there on 5 June 1806.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:53 UTC on Thursday, 18 July 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Gabriel François Doyen on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Brian.

Mircosoft continue à se montrer pionnier dans le domaine de l'IA générative. Après avoir trouvé le bon partenaire avec OpenAI, à l'origine de ChatGPT, le géant américain a décidé d'apporter des modifications physiques au matériel sur lequel l'IA fonctionne. En clair, les futurs claviers ordinateurs bénéficieront d'une nouvelle touche qui lancera directement l'IA.Si vous ne l'aviez pas remarqué, cela fait 30 ans que les claviers d'ordinateur Windows n'ont pas subi de changement majeur. Plus précisément, rien n'a changé depuis 1994 et l'introduction de la fameuse touche Windows qui fait apparaître le menu. Et bien en cette année 2024, Microsoft a annoncé qu'une nouvelle touche sera ajoutée aux nouveaux ordinateurs intégrant Windows 11, permettant de faire appel à l'IA Copilot AI, fonctionnant sous GPT-4 le modèle le plus avancé d'Open AI. Elle sera placée juste à côté de la touche flèche gauche, en bas de de votre clavier.En résumé, l'entreprise fondée par Bill Gates souhaite faire de 2024 « l'année de l'IA », jusque dans les petits détails de ses ordinateurs. Je cite le vice-président exécutif Yusuf Mehdi, « nous considérons qu'il s'agit d'un nouveau moment de transformation dans notre parcours avec Windows, où Copilot sera le point d'entrée dans le monde de l'IA sur PC » fin de citation. Pour utiliser rapidement Copilot, seule la combinaison de touches Windows + C est actuellement valable sur un ordinateur équipé de Windows 11. Pour les versions antérieures, c'est l'ancien assistant Cortona qui se lancera. À noter que cette IA est actuellement disponible partout dans le monde sauf sur le territoire de l'Union Européenne, en tout cas quand on parle d'une intégration directe à Windows. Comme on l'a déjà dit dans un autre épisode de ce podcast, vous pouvez utiliser Copilot via le navigateur Microsoft Edge, ou bien grâce à l'application pour mobile. En fait, Microsoft ne répond pas encore aux exigences locales en matière de confidentialité des données sur le territoire de l'Union européenne, ce qui empêche tout intégration de Copilot au système Windows pour l'instant.

Even if you're a seasoned traveller, expert in the art of avoiding the usual tourist traps, chances are you'll miss some of the outstanding beauties of our region. Look at Valdichiana, for example: while people gravitate naturally towards Cortona or Pienza, not many give more than a passing look to an ancient castle not far from the A1 highway. The town is quite small and looks like it's frozen in the Middle Ages but this is hardly special in this neck of the woods. And yet it's here, tucked away in a small museum, that you can find one of this land's best kept secrets. This castle that was fought over centuries between the powers of Central Italy was rich enough to commission one of the most unbelievable pieces of jewellery you have ever seen. That's why this week What's Up Tuscany will bring you to the charming town of Lucignano to tell you everything there is to know about its amazing Golden Tree, a huge reliquary that has got to be seen to be believed.If you listen to the full episode you will learn about how it took 120 years and the death of a wealthy lady to finish it and how its outrageous value made it a magnet for thieves since the 1400s. People in Lucignano loved it so much because that exchanging marriage vows in front of it brought good fortune to the newlyweds but in 1914 a band of thieves actually managed to break down and steal the art treasure. It took years before most pieces were recovered and the Tree rebuilt but a few days ago a bunch of other ornaments were discovered, bringing it back to the original glory. I'll walk you through the charming alleys of this weird castle, explain a curious plaque placed on top of an escalade and tell you several quirky stories about this place. In the final chapter, then, I'll walk you through some festivals held in Lucignano throughout the year, from the explosion of colour of the Maggiolata to the nostalgic Christmas festival that brings back the Tuscany of old. Last but not least, a couple of charming hotels able to turn a weekend break into a real event and two really good restaurants where you can treat your taste buds without breaking the bank. This might not be the most popular part of Tuscany but if you come to Valdichiana you'll fall in love with it. That's a promise.Email: podcast@larno.itFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/larno.itTwitter: @arno_it / @WhatsupTuscanyLINKS TO SOURCES (ITALIAN ONLY)https://viaggichemangi.com/italia/toscana/lucignano-cosa-vedere/https://www.museodilucignano.it/il-museo/albero-d-oro/https://www.intoscana.it/it/articolo/lalbero-doro-di-lucignano-stupisce-ancora-ritrovate-parti-trafugate-un-secolo-fa-al-via-il-restauro/https://www.viaggiatricecuriosa.it/2020/11/11/lalbero-doro-di-lucignano/https://www.tripadvisor.it/Restaurant_Review-g887269-d8594152-Reviews-Osteria_le_Botti-Lucignano_Province_of_Arezzo_Tuscany.htmlhttps://www.tripadvisor.it/Restaurant_Review-g887269-d2264112-Reviews-Locanda_del_Baraccotto-Lucignano_Province_of_Arezzo_Tuscany.htmlBACKGROUND MUSICPipe Choir - Bom Bom Breakthrough (Instrumental)Wayne John Bradley - Waiting (Instrumental)Mike Chino - Calm and HarmonyEzaOne - SupernovaPipe Choir - Gemini (Instrumental)Wayne 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://soundcloud.com/ayneohnradley/waiting-original-uplifting-indie-pop-style-instrumentalcreative-commonshttps://soundcloud.com/argofox/mike-chino-calm-and-harmonyhttps://soundcloud.com/argofox/ezaone-supernovahttps://freemusicarchive.org/music/Pipe_Choir/SGONS_Instrumentals/Pipe_Gemini_Instrumentalhttps://soundcloud.com/ayneohnradley/blues-rock-original-instrumentalcreative-commonshttp://www.pipechoir.com/

Insights from The Art and Science of Wine Tasting with Niccolò Baldelli-Boni, Josh McCallen and Jin Ahn. In Episode 3 of the Inspired Money Podcast's live stream series, "The Taste of Success," hosted by Andy Wang and produced by Bradley Jon Eaglefeather, a distinguished panel—Niccolò Baldelli-Boni, Josh McCallen, and Jin Ahn—shared their wisdom on the art and science of wine tasting. The segment, fittingly titled "The Art and Science of Wine Tasting," explored the complexities of sensory evaluation, wine characteristics, and the importance of group tasting. Here are the key takeaways from this enlightening segment. The Intricacies of Sensory Evaluation Niccolò Baldelli-Boni, a seasoned wine enthusiast, emphasized the need for a comprehensive sensory evaluation when tasting wine. He pointed out that it's not just about sipping; it's about visual examination, olfactory evaluation, and taste analysis. These techniques help in discovering the wine's complexity and character. The Olfactory Journey: From Flaw Detection to Complexity Jin Ahn, a professional in the field, elaborated on the olfactory evaluation process. He highlighted the importance of first identifying any flaws in the wine, such as cork taint or oxidation. Once the wine passes this initial test, the focus shifts to its fruit profile, non-fruit characteristics, and overall complexity. The Power of Group Tasting Jin Ahn also emphasized the value of group tasting, especially with those more knowledgeable. He explained that group settings allow for comparative tasting, which is crucial for understanding the nuances between different wines, vintages, or vineyards. It's a collaborative learning experience that can significantly enhance your wine-tasting skills. The Legacy of Renault Winery Josh McCallen introduced us to the fascinating world of Renault Winery, the second oldest winery in America, surprisingly located in New Jersey. He shared the rich history of the winery, founded in the 1800s, and its unique terroir. This segment served as a reminder that the world of wine is vast and full of surprises, and that history and location often play a significant role in a wine's character. Conclusion The segment "The Art and Science of Wine Tasting" from Episode 3 of the Inspired Money Podcast's live stream series, "The Taste of Success," provided a rich tapestry of insights and perspectives. The conversation wasn't just about tasting; it was about doing so in a way that aligns with a deeper understanding and appreciation of wine. As you navigate the evolving landscape of wine tasting, let the wisdom of Niccolò Baldelli-Boni, Josh McCallen, and Jin Ahn be your guiding stars. by Story Alchemist - Stella Knight (Creative Collaborative Media Design by EaglesVision). Guest Profiles: Nicholas Baldelli-Boni lives in Tuscany and can trace his family roots there for over 900 years. He studied in Europe and the United States, then came home and failed (badly) at running an agricultural business. Today, he works with luxury tourism in Cortona and Florence and invests in real estate. Jin Ahn is co-owner and general manager at noreetuh, a Hawaiian restaurant in the East Village. He's responsible for the restaurant's award-winning wine list of approximately 300 selections with a strong representation from France and Germany. In addition to the wines, there are a number of craft beers and specialty sakes on the list. If you're looking for good Old-World Riesling or red Burgundy in New York City, then this is where to go. Josh McCallen is a business turnaround expert and resort rehab specialist. He is a multi-faceted leader in the luxury, residential, hospitality, and real estate project leadership. In the past 20 years, Mr. McCallen has led projects, generating well over $100,000,000 in revenues. As CEO and president of Vivamee Hospitality, he oversees Renault Winery in Egg Harbor, NJ, one of the only vintners in the U.S. with the privilege of calling his sparkling wine Champagne.

Desire Lines combines imagery and text, both contemporary and historical, as a vehicle to have a thoughtful and contemplative discussion about immigration. It looks at  our current humanitarian crisis at the southern border and views it through the larger context of human migration and shifting borders. Lara and I also talk about her current collaboration with Antone Dolezal called The Naked Truth, a story about a Victorian Spa founded by a snake oil saleseman and which eerily resembles the disinformation media world that was particularly effective during Covid. https://www.larashipley.com https://www.overlapse.com/catalog/desire-lines/ This podcast is sponsored by the Charcoal Book Club Begin Building your dream photobook library today at https://charcoalbookclub.com.

Full Text of ReadingsTuesday of the Sixth Week of Easter Lectionary: 292The Saint of the day is Saint Margaret of CortonaSaint Margaret of Cortona's Story Margaret was born of farming parents in Laviano, Tuscany. Her mother died when Margaret was seven; life with her stepmother was so difficult that Margaret moved out. For nine years she lived with Arsenio, though they were not married, and she bore him a son. In those years, she had doubts about her situation. Somewhat like Saint Augustine, she prayed for purity—but not just yet. One day she was waiting for Arsenio and was instead met by his dog. The animal led Margaret into the forest where she found Arsenio murdered. This crime shocked Margaret into a life of penance. She and her son returned to Laviano, where she was not well received by her stepmother. They then went to Cortona, where her son eventually became a friar. In 1277, three years after her conversion, Margaret became a Franciscan tertiary. Under the direction of her confessor, who sometimes had to order her to moderate her self-denial, she pursued a life of prayer and penance at Cortona. There she established a hospital and founded a congregation of tertiary sisters. The poor and humble Margaret was, like Francis, devoted to the Eucharist and to the passion of Jesus. These devotions fueled her great charity and drew sinners to her for advice and inspiration. She was canonized in 1728. St. Margaret of Cortona’s liturgical feast is celebrated on February 22. Reflection Seeking forgiveness is sometimes difficult work. It is made easier by meeting people who, without trivializing our sins, assure us that God rejoices over our repentance. Being forgiven lifts a weight and prompts us to acts of charity. Click here for more on Saint Margaret of Cortona! Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Working within the documentary tradition, Stacy Kranitz makes photographs that acknowledge the limits of photographic representation. Her images do not tell the “truth” but are honest about their inherent shortcomings, and thus reclaim these failures (exoticism, ambiguity, fetishization) as sympathetic equivalents in order to more forcefully convey the complexity and instability of the lives, places, and moments they depict.Stacy was born in Kentucky and currently lives in the Appalachian Mountains of eastern Tennessee. She is a 2020 Guggenheim Fellow. Additional awards include the Michael P. Smith Fund for Documentary Photography (2017), a Southern Documentary Fund Research and Development grant (2020), a Puffin Foundation grant (2022), and a Center for Documentation Fellowship (2023). Her work was shortlisted for the Louis Roederer Discovery Award (2019). She has presented solo exhibitions of her photographs at the Diffusion Festival of Photography in Cardiff, Wales (2015), the Rencontres d'Arles in Arles, France, the Cortona on the Move festival in Cortona, Italy (2022) and the Tennessee Triennial (2023) Her photographs are in several public collections including the Harvard Art Museum, the Museum of Fine Art, Houston, and Duke Universities, Archive of Documentary Arts. Stacy works as an assignment photographer for such publications as Time, National Geographic, the New York Times, Vanity Fair, the Atlantic and Mother Jones. Her first monograph, As it Was Give(n) To Me, was published by Twin Palms in 2022 and was shortlisted for a Paris Photo - Aperture First Photobook Award. In episode 202, Stacy discusses, among other things:Her ‘awful' childhoodHer interest in the grey areasViolence as catharsisWhy she was dissatisfied with her early work……and what she did about itHow she ‘accidentally' ended up living in her car for 3.5 yearsBlurring her professional and personal livesHow she came to work in AppalachiaThe title of her book, As it Was Give(n) To MeThe mythology of Daniel BooneWhy she included self-portraits in the bookPlaying with stereotypes and representation in her imagesHer grant writing endeavoursHer next project in AppalachiaThe challenges of editing the bookThe long term nature of her projects Referenced:Harry CottleThe FSAJack Woody Website | Instagram“The camera for me is a connector. It connects me to people. And I always knew that if I hadn't been a photographer, especially an editorial photographer where you're sent out to all these different places, that I would be a very unhealthy hermit and I would just wither away. (Which isn't even logical, but that's how I felt). So the camera is a lifeline for me.”

Liam Neeson or Leslie Nielsen? You decide.Things to know about Cortona:Ancient city - Etruscans - walls go back to 5th c. BCRomansAlso long history as a tourist destination, even before Under the Tuscan SunWhat to see in CortonaCathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, built in 1456MAEC - Museo dell'Accademia Etrusca e della Città di CortonaDiocesan Museum — The Annunciation by Beato Angelico (From 1408 to 1418, Fra Angelico was at the Dominican friary of Cortona, where he painted frescoes, now mostly destroyed, in the Dominican Church and may have been assistant to Gherardo Starnina or a follower of his) and The Deposition by Luca Signorelli (c. 1441/1445 – 16 October 1523)Archeological area - Etruscan tombs in Sodo and Camucia dating to 6th c BCE, uncovered in 20th c.Girifalco castle —Medici fortress, 1556 - today hosts exhibitions and occasionally concertsVia Romea Germanica passes through CortonaEremo Le Celle — first hermitage to be founded by San Francesco- 4 km from Cortona. The Monastery is perched on Monte Sant'Egidio and in the gorge dividing the two buildings runs a mountain stream - ‘Celle', which does not refer to the little buildings friars used to live in, but rather to some constructions built from the rock by shepherds and peasants. San Francesco arrived in Cortona around the year 1211 and met Guido Vagnotelli, a young man from a good-to-do  family who often welcomed Francesco in his home to pray. Guido decided to follow a religious vocation and offered the land where the Hermit would have been built laterBasilica of Santa Margherita in Cortona-14th-century church adorned in Baroque style - Margaret of Cortona (1247 – 22 February 1297) was an Italian penitent of the Third Order of Saint Francis. She was born in Laviano, near Perugia, and died in Cortona. She was canonized in 1728. Patron saint of the falsely accused, hoboes, homeless, insane, orphaned, mentally ill, midwives, penitents, single mothers, reformed prostitutes, stepchildren, and tramps. At the age of 17 she met a young (noble)man, and ran away with him, lived in the castle as his mistress, near Montepulciano and bore him a son. When her lover failed to return home from a journey/hunt one day, Margaret became concerned. The unaccompanied return of his favorite hound alarmed Margaret, and the hound led her into the forest to his murdered body. Returned all the gifts he had given her to his family and left. Her family refused her so she went to the Franciscan friars at Cortona, where her son eventually became a friar. She fbecame a penitent known for extreme fasting, joined the Third Order of Saint Francis and chose to live in poverty. Established a hospital in Cortona for the sick, homeless and impoverished. To secure nurses for the hospital, she instituted a congregation of Tertiary Sisters, known as "le poverelle" (Italian for "the little poor ones”). She also established an order devoted to Our Lady of Mercy and the members bound themselves to support the hospital and to help the needy. On several occasions, Margaret participated in public affairs. Twice, claiming divine command, she challenged the Bishop of Arezzo, Guglielmo Ubertini Pazzi, in whose diocese Cortona lay, because he lived and warred like a prince. She moved to the ruined church of Basil of Caesarea, now Santa Margherita, and spent her remaining years there; she died on 22 February 1297. Frequently depicted as a “new” Magdalene.
