    Da Submissio a Concordia : ‘biografia’ di un singolare gruppo scultoreo da un sarcofago romano

    No full text
    Il contributo riguarda un gruppo scultoreo in marmo dalle collezioni del Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Firenze, ancora pressoché inedito. Il gruppo è, in realtà, un frammento di un sarcofago romano (II secolo d.C.), raffigurante un generale con Virtus, secondo l’iconografia della nota scena di submissio, anche se in epoca moderna è stato restaurato con integrazioni che hanno trasformato il rilievo originale del sarcofago in un gruppo scultoreo dal significato diverso, molto probabilmente una rappresentazione moderna della concordia coniugale. Grazie ai risultati dell’esame tecnico e formale-stilistico della scultura e allo studio della sua storia collezionistica, il contributo ricostruisce la biografia di questo pezzo unico. Lo studio fornisce anche un’appendice sulle indagini scientifiche preliminari effettuate sul marmo, sia del frammento antico che delle aggiunte moderne.This contribution focuses on a still overlooked marble sculptural group from the collections of the National Archaeological Museum of Florence. The group is actually a fragment of a Roman sarcophagus (2nd century CE), depicting a military general with Virtus according to the iconography of the well-known submissio scene, even if it was restored in Modern times with additions that transformed the original sarcophagus relief into a sculptural group with a different meaning, most probably a modern representation of conjugal concordia. Thanks to the results from the technical and formal-stylistic examination of the sculpture and the study of its collecting history, the paper reconstructs the biography of this unique piece. The study also provides an appendix on the preliminary scientific investigations carried out on the marble of both the ancient fragment and the modern additions

    Not Dead but Sleeping: Resurrecting Niccolò Menghini's Santa Martina

    No full text
    Niccolò Menghini’s marble sculpture of Santa Martina (ca. 1635) in the Church of Santi Luca e Martina in Rome belongs to the seventeenth-century genre of sculpture depicting saints as dead or dying. Until now, scholars have ignored the conceptual and formal concerns of the S. Martina, dismissing it as derivative of Stefano Maderno’s Santa Cecilia (1600). This thesis provides the first thorough examination of Menghini’s S. Martina, arguing that the sculpture is critically linked to the Post-Tridentine interest in the relics of early Christian martyrs. The disjunction between the sculpture’s severed head and seemingly living body reinforces the authority of Pietro da Cortona’s 1634 discovery of St. Martina’s relics beneath the old Church of SS. Luca e Martina. The detached and moveable head (rarely seen in early modern sculpture) evokes associations with cephalophory and inventively implies that St. Martina was somehow miraculously involved in the recovery of her own relics.2020-09-0

    Allestire il perduto: progetto per una mostra su Canova e Thorvaldsen tra contesto, frammenti e proiezione virtuale

    No full text
    The contribution reconstructs the conservation story of the two monumental plaster casts by Antonio Canova and Bertel Thorvaldsen, respectively depicting the Catholic Religion and Christ, formerly preserved in the church of Santi Luca e Martina in Rome and reduced to a state of fragment after an accident in 1926. The testo proposes a rearrangement project for the two sculptures, obtaining a virtual reintegration with the use of historical photographs and projectors

    Synthesis of Pyrrolidinols by Radical Additions to Carbonyls Groups

    No full text
    Radical cyclizations represent powerful synthetic strategies for the assembling of heterocycles. Most radical cyclizations are based on the addition to C C double or triple bonds. On the contrary, the addition to C O double bonds is rarely reported, since it proceeds reversibly due to the formation of thermodynamically unfavorable alkoxy radicals. Herein we report our attempts to construct substituted pyrrolidin-3-ols by tin-mediated radical cyclization of 5-phenylseleno-3-aza-pentanals. These rings are widely represented in natural products and drug candidates with various biological activities
