Dosso Dossi (c. 1489-1542), real name Giovanni di Niccolò de Luteri, was an Italian Renaissance painter who belonged to the School of Ferrara, painting in a style mainly influenced by Venetian painting, in particular Giorgione and early Titian.
From 1514 to his death he was court artist to the Este Dukes of Ferrara and of Modena, whose small court valued its reputation as an artistic centre. He often worked with his younger brother Battista Dossi, who had worked under Raphael. He painted many mythological subjects and allegories with a rather dream-like atmosphere, and often striking disharmonies in colour. His figures cannot be said to be very well drawn. His portraits also often show rather unusual poses or expressions for works originating in a court.
Dossi was born in San Giovanni del Dosso, a village in the province of Mantua. His early training and life is not well documented; his father, originally of Trento, was a bursar (spenditore or fattore) for the Dukes of Ferrara. He may have had training locally with Lorenzo Costa or in Mantua, where he is known to have been in 1512. By 1514, he would begin three decades of service for dukes Alfonso I and Ercole II d'Este, becoming principal court artist. Dosso worked frequently with his brother Battista Dossi, who had trained in the Roman workshop of Raphael. The works he produced for the dukes included the ephemeral decorations of furniture and theater sets. He is known to have worked alongside il Garofalo in the Costabili polyptych. One of his pupils was Giovanni Francesco Surchi (il Dielai).

Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giorgione
--------
Giorgione (born Giorgio Barbarelli da Castelfranco; c. 1477–1510) was an Italian painter of the Venetian school during the High Renaissance from Venice, whose career was ended by his death at a little over 30. Giorgione is known for the elusive poetic quality of his work, though only about six surviving paintings are affirmatively acknowledged to be his. The uncertainty surrounding the identity and meaning of his work has made Giorgione one of the most mysterious figures in European art.
Together with Titian, who was probably slightly younger, he founded the distinctive Venetian school of Italian Renaissance painting, which achieves much of its effect through colour and mood, and is traditionally contrasted with Florentine painting, which relies on a more linear disegno-led style.
Though he died at the age of 32 or 33, Giorgione left a lasting legacy to be developed by Titian and 17th-century artists. Giorgione never subordinated line and colour to architecture, nor an artistic effect to a sentimental presentation. He was arguably the first Italian to paint landscapes with figures as movable pictures in their own frames with no devotional, allegorical, or historical purpose—and the first whose colours possessed that ardent, glowing, and melting intensity which was so soon to typify the work of all the Venetian School.

Places to see in ( Ravenna - Italy )
Ravenna is the capital city of the Province of Ravenna, in the Emilia-Romagna region of Northern Italy. It was the capital city of the Western Roman Empire from 402 until that empire collapsed in 476.
It then served as the capital of the Kingdom of the Ostrogoths until it was re-conquered in 540 by the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire. Afterwards, the city formed the centre of the Byzantine Exarchate of Ravenna until the invasion of the Franks in 751, after which it became the seat of the Kingdom of the Lombards.
Although an inland city, Ravenna is connected to the Adriatic Sea by the Candiano Canal. It is known for its well-preserved late Roman and Byzantine architecture, and has eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Alot to see in ( Ravenna - Italy ) such as :
Eight early Christian monuments of Ravenna are inscribed on the World Heritage List. These are
Orthodox Baptistry also called Baptistry of Neon (c. 430)
Mausoleum of Galla Placidia (c. 430)
Arian Baptistry (c. 500)
Archiepiscopal Chapel (c. 500)
Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo (c. 500)
Mausoleum of Theoderic (520)
Basilica of San Vitale (548)
Basilica of Sant'Apollinare in Classe (549)
Other attractions include:
The church of St. John the Evangelist is from the 5th century, erected by Galla Placidia after she survived a storm at sea. It was restored after the World War II bombings. The belltower contains four bells, the two majors dating back to 1208.
The 6th-century church of the Spirito Santo, which has been quite drastically altered since the 6th century. It was originally the Arian cathedral. The façade has a 16th-century portico with five arcades.
The St. Francis basilica, rebuilt in the 10th–11th centuries over a precedent edifice dedicated to the Apostles and later to St. Peter. Behind the humble brick façade, it has a nave and two aisles. Fragments of mosaics from the first church are visible on the floor, which is usually covered by water after heavy rains (together with the crypt). Here the funeral ceremony of Dante Alighieri was held in 1321. The poet is buried in a tomb annexed to the church, the local authorities having resisted for centuries all demands by Florence for return of the remains of its most famous exile.
The Baroque church of Santa Maria Maggiore (525–532, rebuilt in 1671). It houses a picture by Luca Longhi.
The church of San Giovanni Battista (1683), also in Baroque style, with a Middle Ages campanile.
The basilica of Santa Maria in Porto (16th century), with a rich façade from the 18th century. It has a nave and two aisles, with a high cupola. It houses the image of famous Greek Madonna, which was allegedly brought to Ravenna from Constantinople.
The nearby Communal Gallery has various works from Romagnoli painters.
The Rocca Brancaleone (Brancaleone Castle), built by the Venetians in 1457. Once part of the city walls, it is now a public park. It is divided into two parts: the true Castle and the Citadel, the latter having an extent of 14,000 m2 (150,694.75 sq ft).
The so-called Palace of Theoderic, in fact the entrance to the former church of San Salvatore. It includes mosaics from the true palace of the Ostrogoth king.

A. Corelli La Folia for violin and piano
This is La Folia by Arcangelo Corelli from Suzuki Volume 6.
Arcangelo Corelli was born at Fusignano, Romagna, in the current-day province of Ravenna. Little is known about his early life. His master on the violin was Giovanni Battista Bassani. Matteo Simonelli, the well-known singer of the popes chapel, taught him composition.
His first major success was gained in Paris at the age of nineteen, and to this he owed his European reputation. From Paris, Corelli went to Germany. In 1681 he was in the service of the electoral prince of Bavaria; between 1680 and 1685 he spent a considerable time in the house of his friend and fellow violinist-composer Cristiano Farinelli (believed to be the uncle of the celebrated castrato Farinelli).
In 1685 Corelli was in Rome, where he led the festival performances of music for Queen Christina of Sweden and he was also a favorite of Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni, grand-nephew of another Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni who in 1689 became Pope Alexander VIII. From 1689 to 1690 he was in Modena; the Duke of Modena was generous to him. In 1708 he returned to Rome, living in the palace of Cardinal Ottoboni. His visit to Naples, at the invitation of the king, took place in the same year.
The style of execution introduced by Corelli and preserved by his pupils, such as Francesco Geminiani, Pietro Locatelli, and many others, was of vital importance for the development of violin playing. It has been said that the paths of all of the famous violinist-composers of 18th-century Italy lead to Arcangelo Corelli who was their iconic point of reference. (Toussaint Loviko, in the program notes to Italian Violin Concertos, Veritas, 2003)
However, Corelli used only a limited portion of his instrument's capabilities. This may be seen from his writings; the parts for violin very rarely proceed above D on the highest string, sometimes reaching the E in fourth position on the highest string. The story has been told and retold that Corelli refused to play a passage which extended to A in altissimo in the overture to Handels oratorio il Trionfo del Tempo e Disinganno (premiered in Rome, 1708), and took serious offense when the composer played the note.
Nevertheless, his compositions for the instrument mark an epoch in the history of chamber music. His influence was not confined to his own country. Johann Sebastian Bach studied the works of Corelli and based an organ fugue (BWV 579) on Corelli's Opus 3 of 1689.
Musical society in Rome also owed much to Corelli. He was received in the highest circles of the aristocracy, and for a long time presided at the celebrated Monday concerts in the palace of Cardinal Ottoboni.
Corelli died in possession of a fortune of 120,000 marks and a valuable collection of pictures, the only luxury in which he had indulged. He left both to his benefactor and friend, who generously made over the money to Corelli's relatives. Corelli is buried in the Pantheon at Rome. One can still trace back many generations of violinists from student to teacher to Corelli.
His compositions are distinguished by a beautiful flow of melody and by a mannerly treatment of the accompanying parts, which he is justly said to have liberated from the strict rules of counterpoint.
His concerti grossi have often been popular in Western culture. For example, a portion of the Christmas Concerto, op.6 no.8, is in the soundtrack of the film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. He is also referred to frequently in the novel Captain Corelli's Mandolin.

Live recording 2016 MEDIEVAL CASTLE ESTENSE DIEDO, DA MULA, TRAVES DEI BONFILI di Arquà Polesine (RO), si ringrazia l'Amministrazione Comunale di Arquà Polesine per aver concesso il Patrocinio al progetto Architetture Sonore.
SOUND OF STONE PROJECT Percorso musicale tra i luoghi sonori dislocati lungo il fiume Po dove armonia, equilibrio, proporzione e ritmo si fondono tra Musica e Architettura.
The fortress of Arquà, erected in 1146, commonly known as Castello Estense, is one of the few buildings in Italy that has the double enrolment in both the Castle Register and Historical Dwelling Register. The architecture is medieval and is the best preserved in the all province, as well as the unique physical proof of the large fortification net than used to control Canal Bianco. The building was erected on the will of Guglielmo III Marchesella degli Adelardi, Lord of Ferrara, to defeat the Estes in the territory of Rovigo. Shortly, in 1187, the building became propery of the Estes. With the entire region of Polesine, then, the castle of Arquà in 1395 became property of the Most Serene Republic of Venice in exchange for financial credit. The Venetians established in there a military district, equipping the castle with a garrison. The original difensive configuration, that was necessary to keep one of the most important places of Polesine, was lost after the victory on the so-called Salt War (circa 1480-1484). After the years between 1438 and 1482, when the building came back to the Estes, the Republic of Venice gave it, at the end, to the Diedos. In the XVI Century every builded military fortress were shot down, except for the castle of Arquà because its location was strategically important, as it was the only way to reach Canal Bianco and Po River, that meant the territories near Ferrara. The Diedos, family with probable Venetian origins, converted the castle in a comfort and luxurious noble dwelling in the countryside and embellished it with frescos, shotting down one of the guard towers. Excellences of the context: HUNTING MANSION The structure is an example of Ferrara’s rural architecture. In the inside, the building is divided in a central hall, with timbers, from where it is possible to access to the other rooms. On the posterior façade there are noble crests. The surrounding walls were built in the XVIII Century. In 1850 the garden were converted in a park with bridges, caverns, water games, several plants and paths full of historical evidences. It was also built a neo-gothic tower. The tale tells that the building was connected to the castle with a secret passage. It is exposed to the road the crosses the town in east-west direction, while at that time it was separated from the city centre and near to an ancient path made in roman age. Originally built as service construction by Alberto V of Este, marquise of Ferrara and Modena, at his death in 1393, was given in heritage to his son, Nicolò III, that was full of debts and, in 1412, gave it to the noble Andrea Durazzo with the obligation of vassalage. In the middle of XVI Century it was expanded and two more wings were erected, with some other rooms, a cantina and some atticts. In 1720, after other renovations, the building had the resemblance of the XVIII Century and in 1752 it was given to the bishop Pellegrino Ferro. In 1756 it was bought by the noble family named Cavalli, in 1760 by the Cecchettis that, at the beginning of XIX Century, made some renovations. The current owners are heir of the Cecchettis. Antonio Cecchetti made an industrial orchard. During World War II it became a refuge for displaced persons then, divided, it was rent out. In 1968, as ruin, it was renewed by the architect Conato.
Le campane di Cento (FE) - Basilica Collegiata di S.Biagio
Cento (FE) - Basilica Collegiata e Arcipretale di S.Biagio Vescovo e Martire
5 campane intonate in tritono (con la quarta aumentata o eccedente):
Fa3 = Giovanni Domenico Dinarelli, 1673
Sol3 = Angelo Rasori, 1794
La3 = Angelo Rasori, 1794
Si3 = Angelo Rasori, 1794
Do4 = Angelo Rasori, 1794
La Basilica Collegiata di San Biagio riveste il ruolo di chiesa principale, ma anche di luogo di culto più antico della città di Cento. Eretta con tutta probabilità anteriormente all’anno 1000, originariamente si trattava di un sobrio oratorio poi ingrandito e ristrutturato in più riprese. La conformazione attuale è pero il risultato di un’integrale ricostruzione della Collegiata per mano dell’architetto bolognese A.Torreggiani a cui fu commissionato l’intero progetto di ristrutturazione. Infatti, fra il 1730 e il 1745 la struttura venne rivista in linee semplici e funzionali, a parte il prospetto che rimase sfortunatamente incompleto. Internamente la Basilica Collegiata di San Biagio presenta una pianta suddivisa in tre navate, un transetto e una spaziosa abside a cui venne conferito un misurato stile barocco lasciando comunque trasparire un’influenza rinascimentale ancora presente. La planimetria a croce latina è peculiare per la presenza di una cupola ellittica all'incrocio fra transetto e navata maggiore. L’apparato decorativo formato da stucchi e ornamenti in marmo riescono a creare un incantevole effetto scenico. Di grande valore le opere d’arte custodite nelle cappelle laterali, alcune delle quali si trovavano in precedenza nella vecchia Collegiata. Vale la pena menzionare i dipinti di artisti quali Bartolomeo Cesi, Domenico Mona, Marcello Provenzali, Lorenzo Zucchetta e Antonio Rossi ma un cenno speciale va offerto a Giovanni Francesco Barbieri detto il Guercino soprattutto per la sua tela di San Carlo Borromeo in preghiera datato 1614 circa. Di recente è stata scolpita dall’artista Mauro Mazzali un’imponente fontana con San Michele Arcangelo che uccide il drago nella piazza di fronte alla Basilica. L'alto campanile barocco rinascimentale, staccato dalla chiesa, ospitata un interessantissimo e ottimo quinto di campane (il più antico suonabile alla bolognese) intonato secondo la rarissima modulazione di quarta aumentata o tritono. Si tratta di un quarto maggiore con l'aggiunta di una campana più acuta della mezzanella di un tono che crea una dissonanza nell'accordo, che in questo caso è tutta via aggiustato dalla presenza della quinta giusta che lo fa risultare molto piacevole all'ascolto. La grossa, opera del Dinarelli del 1673(sagoma ultra pesante) è certamente una delle campane migliori nel raggio di 20 Km. Le altre 4 campane furono fuse dal Rasori di Bologna nel 1794 (sagoma pesante). Secondo una tradizione orale centese si dice che la quarta fu fornita dal Rasori come piccola originaria e nello stesso fu fusa la piccola propriamente detta. La grossa di nota Fa3 crescente, pesa 11,50 q.li ca. ed ha un diametro di 115,7 cm. La mezzana di nota Sol3 crescente, pesa 6,70 q.li ca. ed ha un diametro di 97,8 cm. La mezzanella di nota La3 crescente, pesa 5 q.li ca. ed ha un diametro di 77,8 cm. La quarta di nota Si3 crescente, pesa 3,30 q.li ca. La piccola di nota Do4 crescente, pesa 2,50 q.li ca. ed ha un diametro di 73,7 cm.
Suonate:
-Doppio da trave con 5 campane: 5 volte le 2 in S.Pietro con Ribattute eseguito durante la processione

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Venice (, VEN-iss; Italian: Venezia [veˈnɛttsja] (listen); Venetian: Venesia, Venexia [veˈnɛsja]) is a city in northeastern Italy and the capital of the Veneto region.
It is situated across a group of 118 small islands that are separated by canals and linked by over 400 bridges. The islands are located in the shallow Venetian Lagoon, an enclosed bay that lies between the mouths of the Po and the Piave rivers (more exactly between the Brenta and the Sile). Parts of Venice are renowned for the beauty of their settings, their architecture, and artwork. The lagoon and a part of the city are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.In 2018, 260,897 people resided in Comune di Venezia, of whom around 55,000 live in the historical city of Venice (Centro storico). Together with Padua and Treviso, the city is included in the Padua-Treviso-Venice Metropolitan Area (PATREVE), with a total population of 2.6 million. PATREVE is only a statistical metropolitan area.The name is derived from the ancient Veneti people who inhabited the region by the 10th century BC. The city was historically the capital of the Republic of Venice. Venice has been known as the La Dominante, Serenissima, Queen of the Adriatic, City of Water, City of Masks, City of Bridges, The Floating City, and City of Canals.
The 697-1797 Republic of Venice was a major financial and maritime power during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and a staging area for the Crusades and the Battle of Lepanto, as well as a very important center of commerce (especially silk, grain, and spice) and art in the 13th century up to the end of the 17th century. The city-state of Venice is considered to have been the first real international financial center which gradually emerged from the 9th century to its peak in the 14th century. This made Venice a wealthy city throughout most of its history.It is also known for its several important artistic movements, especially the Renaissance period. After the Napoleonic Wars and the Congress of Vienna, the Republic was annexed by the Austrian Empire, until it became part of the Kingdom of Italy in 1866, following a referendum held as a result of the Third Italian War of Independence. Venice has played an important role in the history of symphonic and operatic music, and ...
Nathaniel Silver: Borgo San Sepolcro to the East Coast
During a career spanning nearly sixty years Piero della Francesca worked in almost every major center across the Italian peninsula, although nowhere did he accept more commissions than in Borgo San Sepolcro. Like his native city, Piero's paintings are possessed of a character that is neither Florentine nor Sienese but entirely unique. On the closing weekend of the special exhibition, the show's curator will discuss Piero's career in Borgo and explore how some of his masterpieces created for that city reached American shores.

Music of Italy
The music of Italy ranges across a broad spectrum of opera and instrumental classical music and a body of popular music drawn from both native and imported sources. Music has traditionally been one of the cultural markers of Italian national and ethnic identity and holds an important position in society and in politics. Italian innovation in musical scales, harmony, notation, and theatre enabled the development of opera in the late 16th century, and much of modern European classical music, such as the symphony and concerto.
Instrumental and vocal classical music is an iconic part of Italian identity, spanning experimental art music and international fusions to symphonic music and opera. Opera is integral to Italian musical culture, and has become a major segment of popular music. The Neapolitan song, canzone Napoletana, and the cantautori singer-songwriter traditions are also popular domestic styles that form an important part of the Italian music industry, alongside imported genres like jazz, rock and hip hop. Italian folk music is an important part of the country's musical heritage, and spans a diverse array of regional styles, instruments and dances.

SUMMARY
=======
The Italians (Italian: Italiani [itaˈljaːni]) are a Romance ethnic group and nation native to the Italian peninsula and its neighbouring territories. Most Italians share a common culture, history, ancestry or language. Legally, all Italian nationals are citizens of the Italian Republic, regardless of ancestry or nation of residence (Italian nationality largely being based on jus sanguinis) and may be distinguished from people of Italian descent without Italian citizenship and from ethnic Italians living in territories adjacent to the Italian Peninsula without Italian citizenship. The majority of Italian nationals are speakers of Italian, or a regional variety thereof. However, around half also speak another regional or minority language native to Italy; although there is disagreement on the total number, according to UNESCO there are approximately 30 languages native to Italy (often misleadingly referred to as Italian dialects).In 2017, in addition to about 55 million Italians in Italy (91% of the Italian national population), Italian-speaking autonomous groups are found in neighbouring nations: almost a quarter million are in Switzerland, a large population is in France, the entire population of San Marino, and there are smaller groups in Slovenia and Croatia, primarily in Istria and Dalmatia. Because of the wide-ranging diaspora, about 5 million Italian citizens and nearly 80 million people of full or partial Italian ancestry live outside their own homeland, most notably in parts of Europe bordering Italy, South America, North America, Australia, Zealandia, and The Middle East.
Italians have greatly influenced and contributed to diverse fields, notably the arts and music, science and technology, fashion, cuisine, sports, jurisprudence, banking and business both abroad and worldwide. Furthermore, Italian people are generally known for their localism (both regionalist and municipalist) .
