I Ludovisi tra Sei e Settecento: strumenti computazionali e ricostruzioni storiche
No full textThe essay presents the project MirrorLab (2021-2023), supported by the Fondo Europeo di Sviluppo Regionale della Regione Lazio and directed by Francesco Freddolini. The article explores methodologies, tools and objectives pursued by the interdisciplinary research team. The project focuses on a case study, the collection of classical statues that formed part of the Ludovisi collection in seventeenth-century Rome and is devoted to develop a relational database on a group of works that were restored in the seventeenth century. The database will enable the systematization of information about such artworks and provide the framework to develop interpretive narratives through the development of an application that adopts augmented reality and will be specifically designed for mobile devices

No full textGian Lorenzo Bernini, modello per la Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi.
No full textIl contributo analizza il modello preparatorio della Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi di Gian Lorenzo Bernini, conservato dalla famiglia Bernini e databile al periodo 1647-1650. Attraverso fonti storiche e analisi diagnostiche recenti, il testo ricostruisce il processo creativo e simbolico dell’opera, mettendo in luce l’evoluzione iconografica dei personaggi fluviali, con particolare attenzione alla rappresentazione del Rio della Plata e del Nilo. L’artista sviluppa un discorso complesso sull’alterità culturale tra Europa, Africa e Americhe nella prima età moderna. Nuove indagini rivelano l’uso originario di foglia d’argento e d’oro nel modello, a conferma della sua funzione di presentazione destinata a colpire il pontefice Innocenzo X.This essay examines Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s preparatory model for the Fountain of the Four Rivers (1647–1650), preserved by the Bernini family. Drawing on historical sources and recent diagnostic studies, it traces the artistic and symbolic development of the monument, focusing on the evolving iconography of the river figures, especially the Nile and the Río de la Plata. Bernini constructs a nuanced narrative on cultural otherness between Europe, Africa, and the Americas during the early modern period. New investigations confirm the original use of silver and gold leaf, underscoring the model’s role as a presentation piece aimed to impress Pope Innocent X
Art, Mobility, and Exchange in Early Modern Tuscany and Eurasia
No full textThis book explores how the Medici Grand Dukes pursued ways to expand their
political, commercial, and cultural networks beyond Europe, cultivating complex
relations with the Ottoman Empire and other Islamicate regions, and looking further
east to India, China, and Japan.
The chapters in this volume discuss how casting a global, cross-cultural net was
part and parcel of the Medicean political vision. Diplomatic gifts, items of commercial
exchange, objects looted at war, maritime connections, and political plots were an
inherent part of how the Medici projected their state on the global arena. The eleven
chapters of this volume demonstrate that the mobility of objects, people, and knowledge
that generated the global interactions analyzed here was not unidirectional—rather, it
went both to and from Tuscany. In addition, by exploring evidence of objects produced
in Tuscany for Asian markets, this book reveals hitherto neglected histories of how
Western cultures projected themselves eastwards
I palazzi genovesi nella letteratura artistica fra XVI e XVII secolo
No full textLa ricorrenza del quarto centenario dell’uscita dei Palazzi di Genova, il volume che Pieter Paul Rubens diede per la prima volta alle stampe nel 1622 ad Anversa, costituisce un’occasione quanto mai significativa per ripercorrere la storia critica di una città che è stata non casualmente definita “una civiltà di palazzi”.
Il percorso qui proposto sarà caratterizzato da un taglio cronologico, lungo lo scorrere dei primi secoli che definiamo moderni, ma avrà pure l’ambizione di mettere in evidenza alcune aree cittadine particolarmente rilevanti nello sviluppo urbanistico di una capitale di ancien régime passata alla storia con l’appellativo di Superba anche per lo splendore delle sue dimore principesche

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
