Venezia Novecento: le voci di Paola Masino e Milena Milani

Il convegno ha lo scopo d’indagare il rapporto di Paola Masino e Milena Milani con Venezia, portando in primo piano una comune esperienza d’esilio imposto dal fascismo e mettendo in luce inediti legami all’interno di una comunità artistica che le vide partecipi tra primo e secondo Novecento. Paola Masino (1908-1989) visse un periodo d'esilio nella città lagunare, a fianco del compagno Massimo Bontempelli. Qui trovarono inizio le sue riflessioni sulla relazione donna-società, venne concepito il romanzo Nascita e morte della massaia e l'autrice ebbe l'opportunità di incontrare vari intellettuali, tra cui Anna Maria Ortese. Anche per Milena Milani (1917-2013) Venezia fu un luogo di scambio con figure del panorama dell’arte, uno spazio di costruzione della propria poetica nonché sede privilegiata del mestiere di giornalista e traduttrice per il Cavallino di Carlo Cardazzo. In città pubblicò le prime raccolte di poesia e racconti, tra cui Ignoti furono i cieli (1944), ambientò La ragazza di nome Giulio (1964) e fu operatrice culturale.

Dante attraverso i documenti III

Contesti storici e intellettuali delle epistole dantesche

Nella prosecuzione ideale di due convegni tenuti a Roma La Sapienza nel 2013 e 2014, questo terzo appuntamento, che si sposta a Venezia, affronta per la prima volta il periodo post-bando. Tra 1302 e 1321 il grosso dei "documenti" è costituito dalle epistole. Il Convegno "Dante attraverso i documenti III" si propone di far convergere una serie di studiosi con l'obiettivo di un commento storico delle lettere. Un nuovo, e ultimo, appuntamento è previsto nel Giugno 2016.

Typical Venice?

Venetian Commodities, 13th-16th centuries

What are “Venetian” commodities? More than any other medieval or early modern city, Venice lived off of the trade of portable goods. In addition to trading foreign imports, the city also engaged in intense local production, manufacturing high quality glass, crystal, cloth, metal, enamel, leather, and ceramic objects, characterized by their exceedingly rich forms and complex production processes. Today, these objects are scattered in collections throughout the world, but little remains in Venice itself. In individual instances, it is often difficult to tell whether the objects in question were actually made in Venice or if they originated in Byzantine, Islamic, or other European contexts. This conference focuses on the question of how Venice designed and exported its own identity through all kinds of its goods.

Etty Hillesum. One hundred years later (1914-2014)

International Conference

Esther (Etty) Hillesum writings are a crucial historical document, as they report on the extreme evil of racial persecutions and life in lagers. They are a reflection on the value and the meaning of life, love and death. The International Conference “Etty Hillesum. Cento anni dopo (1914-2014)” (December 9-10, 2014, at Ca' Foscari University in Venice, Italy) aims to assess the works of this important witness from the 20th century.

“Venetian” enamels on copper from the Italian Renaissance

Artistic geography, collecting, technology

Enamelled and gold flecked copperware are a rare and highly refined feature of the decorative arts of the Italian Renaissance, of which less than three hundred pieces survive, and which are traditionally referred to as Venetian. Admired and sought after in the 19th century, when the main European collections were built up, these objects, whose origins date back to the end of the fifteenth century, were subsequently forgotten. The cross-disciplinary conference will shed light on technical and manufacturing aspects, and the forms and decorations of these artistic masterworks, which can be found in major museums and collections throughout the world, and point to the socio-cultural context of which they are a product. An attempt will be made to define a corpus of forms and decorations, to identify clients and patrons, thanks mainly to research into heraldry and symbols, and finally to trace their arrival on the European and American art markets in the 19th and 20th centuries respectively.

Conference, symposium - Psyche

Melancholia/ae

The religious experience of the ‘disease of the soul’ and its definitions in the early modern period: censorship, dissent and self-representation

Il tema della malinconia, nelle sue diverse declinazioni storico-artistiche, mediche, letterarie, filosofiche, psicologiche costituisce l’oggetto di una vasta letteratura. Del resto, lo stesso termine “malinconia” è un termine polisemico, associato storicamente a una grande varietà di gruppi di significati non sempre assimilabili tra loro. Il seminario intende approfondire le diverse valenze semantiche del termine “malinconia” in ambito religioso in età moderna, sia in campo protestante sia in campo cattolico.
