Dante's tomb, Ravenna, Emilia-Romagna, Italy, Europe
Dante's tomb is a monument erected at the Basilica of St. Francis in the center of Ravenna, the city where the great poet lived the last years of his life and died in 1321. Built in the years 1780-81 by the architect Camillo Morigia commissioned by Cardinal Legate Luigi Valenti Gonzaga and above the tomb erected by the fifteenth-century Venetian mayor of Ravenna Bernardo Bembo, the tomb is in the shape of a square neoclassical temple, crowned by a small dome. Separated from the street by a narrower definition, has a facade outside very simple, with a door surmounted by the crest of the archbishop Cardinal Gonzaga, and on whose lintel is written simply and in Latin: Dantis poetae sepulcrum. Inside the tomb itself, all covered in marble and stucco, consists of a Roman sarcophagus with carved above (always in Latin) the epitaph in verse dictated by Bernardo Canaccio in 1366): Iura monarchies superos Phlaegetonta lacusque / glazing Cecini fairy volverunt quousque sed quia pars cessit melioribus hospita castris / actoremque suum petiit felicior astris hic claudor Dantes patriis extorris ab oris / quem genuit parvi Florentia mater amoris (translation: the rights of the monarchy, the heavens and the waters of Flegetonte (the underworld) visiting sang until my destiny turned deadly. however, since my soul went guest in the best places, and even more blessed reached between the stars his Creator, here I am enclosed, (I) Dante, exile from home ground, which begat Florence, mother of little love). Above the tomb (remained virtually the same century), there is a valuable bas 1483 by Pietro Lombardo depicting Dante thoughtfully before a lectern. At the foot of the sarcophagus there is a garland in bronze donated in 1921 by veterans of the Great War. On the ceiling a votive lamp burns perpetually eighteenth century, fueled by olive oil of the Tuscan hills which is donated by Florence every year September 14 (the anniversary of the death of the poet). On the right wall, a marble plaque recalls the various restoration of the tomb, and its accommodation with marble decoration in 1921. On the spandrels of the time had to be depicted Virgilio, Brunetto Latini, Grande della Scala and Guido Novello da Polenta although they were never made. On the exterior of the monument, on the right, a gate leads into the fence Braccioforte part of the adjacent Convent of St. Francis, where he held the funeral of Dante and where the poet was originally buried. Currently, the tomb is a National Monument, and around it was set up a zone of respect and silence zone called Dante. In 2006-07 the tomb has undergone careful restoration, and the facade has been completely repainted. Not even in death Dante could enjoy the stability that had so longed for the past, tormentatissimi years of exile. The day after the death, the body of the poet was buried in the same tomb where it still stands, but that was then placed on the road, outside the cloister Braccioforte above named. Then, in the late fifteenth century, the Venetian mayor of Ravenna Bernardo Bembo moved the tomb on the west side of the cloister itself. The Florentines after a few years began to reclaim in Ravenna the relics of their most famous citizen. A risk that seemed to be certain when the papal throne ascended the two popes Florentines, and both of the Medici family, Leo X and Clement VII. The first, in fact, following a petition advocated also by Michelangelo, granted in 1519 to his fellow citizens permission to pick the bones of the poet to bring them to Florence, but when the Tuscan delegation opened the sarcophagus, the bones were gone. The Franciscan friars in fact, a short time before, had practiced, backed by a cloister, a hole in the wall and in the sarcophagus for to rescue the remains of the poet, who considered as one of them, and nothing will be worth the entreaties of restitution. The same sarcophagus was then moved in the same cloister and jealously guarded: in fact, when in 1692 he was made the maintenance of the tomb, the workers had to work under guard. The bones had been enclosed in 1677 in a box by the prior of the convent Antonio Sarti, and were put back in the urn original only in 1781, that is when the Morigia constructed the mausoleum that was integral to the convent. When in 1810 this was suppressed by order of Napoleon Bonaparte, the brothers hid again the cassette with the bones, this time in a walled-up door in the adjacent oratory of the cloisters of Braccioforte, where they will be discovered by chance in 1865 during the restoration work for the V centenary of the birth of Dante.

Renaissance Art - 3 Italian Quattrocento: Sculpture
Third video about the Renaissance Art serie. Any doubt? Send me a message.
Historia del Arte:
Land of the Art:
In the early XV century begins the culmination of a slow process of recovery of the models of classical antiquity. This return was initiated and soon acquired a high profile in Italy, where there has always been resistance to imported styles from the rest of Europe, where the memory of Roman art could be seen every day. Thus happened the Renaissance, name given by the painter Vasari, which alludes to the rebirth of Greco-Roman culture and civilization.
Renaissance is the artistic movement. Humanism is the cultural movement, where humans are the center of the universe (anthropocentrism, with Plato as influence, that is, neoplatonism). The people here have interest in Greek-Roman culture, science and progress and they use vernaculars languages. Their most important representant is Erasmus of Rotterdam. The expansion happen by the invention of printing, academies and universities.
Deep religious change. New religiosity, with the Counter Reformation by Luther, that propose the salvation of faith, the lecture of the Bible by all the population and reject the selling of indulgences and the power of the pope. Division in european christianism. The north is protestant and the sur is catholic. Religion wars.
Sculpture in Italy began also in Florence, but it came before the architecture.
Lorenzo Ghiberti: he won the competition for the Second Doors of the Baptistery of Florence (in that competition also participated Brunelleschi), with scenes of the life of Jesus. He also did the Third Doors of the same baptistery, called the Doors of Paradise by Michelangelo, with scenes of the Old Testament.
Jacopo della Quercia: he is from Siena. The Porta Magna has various religious images, with the Virgin and San Petronio. The Fonte Gaia has many classical characters, as Gaia, Rea Silvia and Acca Larentia.
Donatello: he is the most important quattrocentist sculptor. Great naturalism, as showed in San Marcos, San George, San John Evangelist and Zuccone. He also does the Cantoria of the Cathedral of Florence, with musician children dancing and running, with similar composition to the Pulpito of Prato. One of his most known artworks is the David Bargello, with contrapposto, and also the portrait of Niccolo da Uzzano, a psycological portrait. He also did reliefs, with the schiacciato, a technique for reliefs to do bas-reliefs with minimal variation, as in the Feast of Herodes in the baptismal font of Siena, and even more in the Annunciation of Santa Croce. Also the bas-reliefs of the Altar of the church of San Antonio in Padua. The Monument of Gattamelata is very impressive, it is an equestrian sculpture. In his last period in Florence there are the Judith and Holofernes and the Pulpitos of San Lorenzo. One is the Pulpito of Resurrection, the first one, with scenes of the life of Christ after his death. The Pulpit of Passion is the second, and has scenes of the Passion of Christ, without the Last Supper.
Luca della Robbia: he liked to represent women and children. Bas-reliefs of the campanile of the Florence cathedral. Also he has Madonnas.
Andrea Il Verrocchio: more realist than Donatello. He also did a David. Others are the Putto col delfino and Christ and St. Thomas. The most interesting one is the statue of Bartolomeo Colleoni, also an equestrian sculpture, with more dynamism than the one of Donatello.
Antonio Pollaiuolo: more realism and better anatomic studies. His masterpiece is Hercules and Antaeus, with great dramatism.
Agostino di Duccio: he worked in the facade of San Bernardino in Perugia and the facade of the Malatestian Temple of Rimini.
Desiderio da Settignano: not too realist, with the bust of Marietta Strozzi.
Rosellino Brothers: they are Bernardo and Antonio. Bernardo did the tomb of Leonardo Bruni in Santa Croce, and Antonio did other sepulchres.
Benedetto da Maiano: portraitist, with great naturalism. Busts of Pietro Mellini and Filippo Strozzi.

SUMMARY
=======
Rimini (Italian pronunciation: [ˈriːmini] (listen); Romagnol: Rémin; Latin: Ariminum) is a city of 150,292 inhabitants in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy and capital city of the Province of Rimini. It is located on the Adriatic Sea, on the coast between the rivers Marecchia (the ancient Ariminus) and Ausa (ancient Aprusa). It is one of the most famous seaside resorts in Europe, thanks to its 15-kilometre-long (9 mi) sandy beach, over 1,000 hotels, and thousands of bars, restaurants and discos. The first bathing establishment opened in 1843.
An art city with ancient Roman and Renaissance monuments, Rimini is the hometown of the famous film director Federico Fellini as well.
Founded by the Romans in 268 BC, throughout their period of rule Rimini was a key communications link between the north and south of the peninsula, and on its soil Roman emperors erected monuments like the Arch of Augustus and the Tiberius Bridge, while during the Renaissance, the city benefited from the court of the House of Malatesta, which hosted artists like Leonardo da Vinci and produced works such as the Tempio Malatestiano.
In the 19th century, Rimini was one of the most active cities in the revolutionary front, hosting many of the movements aimed at Italian unification. In the course of World War II, the city was the scene of clashes and bombings, but also of a fierce partisan resistance that earned it the honour of a gold medal for civic valor. Finally, in recent years it has become one of the most important sites for trade fairs and conferences in Italy.
The total approximate population of the Rimini urban area is 225,000 and the provincial population is 330,000.
RIMINI: Rapinato l'ufficio postale di S.Giovanni in Marignano | VIDEO
E’ la seconda volta nel giro di 5 mesi che l’ufficio postale di San Giovanni in Marignano in via Gobetti viene preso di mira da rapinatori. Allora la direttrice della struttura era stata aggredita e sequestrata nel momento dell’apertura della sede. Questa mattina invece tre malviventi a volto coperto hanno fatto irruzione nella sede delle Poste verso le 9.15. Uno dei rapinatori, con una rapidità degna di chi fa questo mestiere da tempo, ha rotto con un piede di porco il bussolotto per la consegna pacchi permettendo ai complici di accedere alle casse. Nel giro di qualche minuto i cassetti sono stati svuotati dei contanti. Il trio infine si è poi dileguato con il bottino. Sono in corso le indagini dei carabinieri per individuare i responsabili e quantificare l’ammontare del maltolto. (FOTO E VIDEO ADRIAPRESS)

Temple Grandin. Il mondo ha bisogno di tutti i tipi di mente | TRAILER | Spazio Asperger ONLUS
La prossima rappresentazione teatrale si terrà il 28 maggio 2015, presso Auditorium Seraphicum, via del Serafico 1, Roma.
Con Valentina Gaia, Guendalina Tambellini, Antonio La Rosa, Claudio Zarlocchi
e la partecipazione nel ruolo della madre di Temple di Francesca Nunzi
Sceneggiatura e Aiuto Regia: Valentina Fratini, Regia video: Gabriele Galli, Regia: Claudio Zarlocchi, Scenografia: George Enache, Supervisione Costumi: Marco Maria della Vecchia, Grafica: Gloria Cavallini
Prima dello spettacolo dalle 8.45 alle 18.30 si terrà nella stessa sede la prima giornata della conferenza Infinite diversità nello Spettro Autistico con Tony Attwood.
Per iscrizioni e informazioni:
Lo spettacolo si terrà il 28 Maggio 2015 alle ore 18.30 presso l'auditorium dell'Istituto Seraphicum in Via del Serafico, 1 a Roma.
Lo spettacolo narra la storia di una delle persone Asperger più famose al mondo: Temple Grandin.
Dalla diagnosi di danno cerebrale ricevuta a 2 anni, allorché durante l´infanzia il medico suggerì a sua madre Eustacia di internarla in un istituto pensando che la bambina non avrebbe mai parlato, si passa al periodo della difficile formazione scolastica superiore e all´incontro con il professor Carlock che comprende come sfruttare a pieno la propensione di Temple al pensiero per immagini e il suo interesse per le trappole. Temple cresce e stiamo nel periodo trascorso nel ranch di zia Ann, dove la ragazza scopre il potere rassicurante della stringitrice per mucche che, in seguito, trasformerà nella famosa “macchina per gli abbracci” in grado di alleviare l´ansia per il difficile rapporto con gli altri a cui la obbliga il college.
Temple ormai adulta, incontra enormi difficoltà lavorando nell´ambiente maschilista dei ranch ma riesce a sfruttare la sua genialità nel capire il pensiero animale e nel progettare gli impianti di macellazione più umani e più efficienti che siano mai esistiti.
Temple ha ricevuto innumerevoli riconoscimenti internazionali, è autrice di numerose pubblicazioni ed è diventata una progettista di impianti per animali famosa in tutto il mondo. La Grandin oggi è professoressa associata dell´Università Statale del Colorado, tiene conferenze internazionali sull´autismo ed è stata inserita tra le 100 personalità americane più influenti di tutti i tempi.
Non è però il genio di Temple il nucleo di questo spettacolo, ma la sua umanità e la sua filosofia di vita: il suo rapporto con la vita e la morte, la sua difficoltà nella gestione di un´emotività diversa, le sue straordinarie capacità logiche, le sue problematiche fisiche accompagnate dall´alto senso dell´onore, la sua capacità di lottare -sempre- e la sua strenua difesa della dignità anche di chi è diverso, perché come dice lei stessa “il mondo ha bisogno di tutti i tipi di mente”.
Il trailer è stato girato al Teatro San Paolo di Roma nel 2014.
TEXAS TORNADO EATING TREES - April 13, 2019
Texas tornado caught on camera April 13, 2019 in Lovelady Texas.
*NOT FOR REBROADCAST*

This tornado was ongoing by 12:24pm about 3.5 miles west of Lovelady Texas. It appeared larger when I first spotted it in the distance through a break in the trees 2 miles south of highway 1280. It was heading my general direction and caught on camera for about 3 minutes before it weakened. It then appeared to decay just after crossing that highway where it laid down several trees. The storm then heading toward Crockett Texas. Many residents were evacuating south on highway 19. An odd choice of escape considering the tornado would have paralleled closely that highway before crossing it, had it still been on the ground. This storm system would go on to drop tornadoes in Alto Texas.
This was the second tornado I caught on camera this day. The first was a heavily rain wrapped tornado near Ratcliff Texas around 11:30am. Around the same time, a powerful tornado would pass through the town of Franklin Texas.
After the Lovelady storm passed over Crockett Texas, the cells began merging into a bow echo. For two hours I tried to get in front of the line surging approximately 50pmh, but heavy rain, strong wind made it very difficult to drive any faster. It also didn't help that I had to reroute due to numerous large trees completely blocking passage. After the forth or fifth detour, the timely pursuit of the storms moving into Louisiana was impossible. This strong system carried on through the day, evening and night into Dixie Alley where it was continue to sporadically spawn tornadoes.

Benvenuto Franci Aida Quest'assisa Voce del Padrone DB 1320 enregistré ca 1930
Benvenuto Franci - Aida - Quest'assisa - Voce del Padrone DB 1320 enregistré ca 1930
Benvenuto Franci (Baritone) (Pienza 1891 – Roma 1985)
As a youngster, he was fascinated by the musical instruments of the town band: large and small instruments, woodwinds and brass - he played them all but preferred the euphonium. He studied the viola and performed in a trio with the band-master on the violin and the town barber on the cello. As he grew up, people noticed that he not only had great talent with musical instruments but that he also sang with an easy and sonorous voice.
In 1910 his parents decided to send him to study voice in Rome at the Academy of Santa Cecilia where he attended the famous school of the great Maestro Antonio Cotogni. Fellow students, Beniamino Gigli and Giacomo Lauri Volpi, shared with him all their anxieties, hopes and fears.
In 1917, he brazenly requested an audition with Emma Carelli, who was then running the Teatro Costanzi. After hearing the baritone, Carelli said: A beautiful voice, a great voice. I would like to discipline and release it. This season the new opera Lodoletta by Mascagni will be performed. I will prepare you myself and will put you on the stage.”
The day after Christmas of 1917 he debuted in Rome to great acclaim. This success at the Costanzi immediately earned him a contract with the San Carlo in Naples, where, working with Maestro Franco Capuana, he expanded his repertoire: Un Ballo in Maschera, Aida, Rigoletto, Il Barbiere di Siviglia, La Gioconda, Andrea Chenier, Cavalleria, Pagliacci, La Bohème, La Traviata, Don Pasquale, all operas that he would continue to sing throughout his career.
His great success opened the doors to La Scala. Toscanini wanted him for Aida, Tristan, Carmen, Traviata, affirming his faith and esteem for Franci over a ten year period. He premiered a number of important works: Boito’s posthumous work Nerone, Zandonai's Francesca da Rimini and I Cavalieri di Ekebù, directed by the composer himself, Umberto Giordano's La Cena delle beffe, Il piccolo Marat by Mascagni, and Marinuzzi's Palla dé Mozzi, directed by the composer.
For twenty years he sang in the most important Italian and foreign theatres, all the while expanding his repertoire: I Puritani, Tosca, La Fanciulla del West, Guglielmo Tell, Gianni Schicchi, La forza del destino, Fidelio, Otello, Nabucco, Die Meistersinger, and Lohengrin (Franci is one of the few Italian singers to embrace the Wagnerian repertoire). In Bologna, on the occasion of the premiere of Il Tabarro, he met Puccini who advised him to study Gianni Schicchi, a role he subsequently performed many times. The list of theatres in which Benvenuto Franci performed is long and glorious including, among many, Rome, Naples and Milan, Bologna, Genoa, Verona, Torino, Parma, Palermo, Trieste, Florence, etc.
Abroad, he was regularly invited to perform at Covent Garden in London, at the Paris Opéra, in Madrid, Barcelona, Vienna, Berlin, and Lisbon.
In the summer of 1924 he set sail for South America with the Company of Ottavio Scotto and Claudia Muzio, and the director Marinuzzi. The sixteen performances he was scheduled to sing became forty. He returned regularly to Brazil, Chile, and Argentina for ten years.
In 1956, he retired from the stage where he had performed for forty years. At the end of the opera, Toscanini called me into his dressing room, hugged me and spoke to me in a way that filled me with emotion and joy. Never will I forget that hug – I consider it the ultimate prize of my career.”
(Benvenuto Franci)
