Roma: intervento di valorizzazione dei reperti archeologici nel Parco d'Affaccio a Ponte Milvio

Roma: intervento di valorizzazione dei reperti archeologici nel Parco d'Affaccio a Ponte Milvio. Nell'ambito dei lavori di realizzazione del Parco d'Affaccio "Oasi di Ponte Milvio", sono stati riportati alla luce parte degli antichi argini del Tevere in tufo, risalenti al I secolo a.C., un tratto dell'Antica via Flaminia con il tradizionale basolato imperiale e un tratto di sanpietrini del '900. Già nel corso delle indagini archeologiche preventive si era individuata un'area di particolare interesse caratterizzata dalla presenza di un cippo di età romana e un muro in blocchi di tufo, parzialmente affiorante tra la vegetazione. Al di sotto di sedimenti alluvionali recenti è stato, inoltre, riportato in luce un complesso di strutture poste a ridosso della sponda destra del Tevere, afferenti un'antica sistemazione dell'argine databile probabilmente al I secolo a.C. Le opere menzionate sono state parzialmente esposte nel corso di alcuni lavori realizzati nel 1947. Negli anni Sessanta risultavano ancora visibili, ma successivamente se ne era persa memoria e traccia, poiché completamente sommersi dal limo e, successivamente, dalla terra. L'intervento in corso, oltre ad integrare la documentazione di queste strutture con un corretto posizionamento, offre la possibilità di recuperare fasi di frequentazione più antiche testimoniate da lacerti di strutture in opera reticolata e due basoli individuati sotto la fondazione del muro settentrionale. Il progetto a cura del Dipartimento Tutela Ambientale valorizzerà tali ritrovamenti che rimarranno scoperti e inclusi nelle lavorazioni in corso. I lavori di realizzazione del Parco d'Affaccio, inoltre, non dovrebbero subire rallentamenti. Agli scavi, insieme al personale di Roma Capitale, hanno partecipato tecnici della Sovrintendenza Capitolina e della Soprintendenza di Stato. "Vogliamo che la città si riappropri del suo fiume e questi reperti daranno l'opportunità di caratterizzare uno splendido parco, anche sul piano archeologico e storico, oltre che su quello naturalistico. Questo luogo rappresenta uno degli snodi più importanti dell'antica Roma e noi vogliamo valorizzarlo ancora di più. Questo sarà un Parco d'Affaccio unico, su cui stiamo investendo 1 milione di euro, grazie alla particolarità di reperti archeologici che riporteremo alla luce". Così il sindaco di Roma, Roberto Gualtieri. "I lavori per la realizzazione del Parco d'Affaccio Oasi di Ponte Milvio continuano regolarmente. Ciò che presentiamo oggi incrementa ulteriormente il valore di questo straordinario parco. I ritrovamenti archeologici saranno parte integrante della fruizione dei cittadini, che potranno godere delle bellezze naturalistiche, archeologiche e del paesaggio romano. I lavori si completeranno entro gennaio del 2025. Da un'area oggi del tutto inaccessibile e sottoposta al degrado, al termine del nostro intervento avremo 6,5 ettari di superficie, di cui 1 ettaro di bosco, completamente bonificati e riqualificati. È previsto un percorso di attraversamento in legno antiscivolo e tre aree di sosta attrezzate: una prima area, sotto pioppi e salici, permetterà di godere di un giardino acquatico; una seconda area, al centro del parco, dotata di pavimentazione in legno, sarà un luogo per attività didattiche, in cui dar vita ad una vera "aula verde"; e, infine, una terza area, di rilevante interesse archeologico che potrà unire storia e presente. Il progetto dell'Oasi, come spazio fluviale completamente riqualificato, offrirà ai cittadini l'opportunità di godere davvero del fiume, della sua storia e della sua bellezza. Lavoriamo per far sì che il Tevere diventi il più grande parco lineare della città, una vera infrastruttura ambientale a disposizione di tutte e tutti" - ha dichiarato Sabrina Alfonsi, assessora all'Agricoltura, Ambiente e Ciclo dei Rifiuti.... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

ART SCHOOL | Q&A with SABRINA BOSCO

We absolutely love the super surrealistic and symbolic works of New York based artist Sabrina Bosco. Sabrina’s watercolored worlds are filled with symbols and meanings, inspired by Nature, the colorful and psychedelic works fo Heinz Edelmann, tattoo art, and music. We find out more about Sabrina’s awesome art, her art school tip, and what she’s got coming up for the rest of the year! Make the leap.

Can you tell us a little about yourself and what you do? Hello! My name is Sabrina Bosco, I’m 23 years old and live in New York. I love to create! These days mostly I am watercolor painting, but I also love to write poetry and stitch and sometimes oil paint. And I’m hoping to become a tattoo artist!

How would you describe your works to someone? I would describe it as super symbolic, semi-tattoo style surrealism art that reflects the world inside my mind. There’s symbolism in all the lines, colors, images, shaped, atc. and there’s no wrong way to interpret it. I have my own personal meanings for everything I draw, but whatever people take from it is also completely true.

Was drawing a hobby turned career? or something you knew from the start? It was a hobby turned career. I drew a lot as a kid and a little bit in high school, but never took it super seriously. It was more like a painting every couple of months. I didn’t really have a plan when I graduated from college, so I went into panic mode to find what I’d be doing with my life and decided I was going to become a geologist since I loved to be outside. I even bought textbooks and researched about it for hours.

Then I had this existential crisis type thing where it really hit me I have one life to live and my geology plan was completely ridiculous and unrealistic for me. That’s when I really jumped into painting, and since then my art has been this continuation of me figuring out my mind and my life. At first my goal was botanical art, and I thought I could make illustrations for books or something. For me, that was way too limiting, and I naturally started adding new elements and turning everything into symbolism. So, although it began as a hobby, it had a goal of becoming a career while also not existing solely to become a career.

I’m lucky it’s heading towards a career path.

Who were some of your early influences? My biggest influence is the illustrator for The Beatles Yellow Submarine art, Heinz Edelmann. His psychedelic colorful worlds are what made me attracted to the colors and patterns I use, and the format of my paintings being “worldly”.The art and music of the 60’s in general were my biggest influences. Surrealism oil painter, Vladimir Kush, is a huge influence on any surrealism elements in my art. Artists I discovered on Instagram inspired me a lot to push my art further, there are soooo many and it’s easy to be inspired on there. Diego Delfino’s beautiful women inspired me to draw women. They’re all super beautifully posed and inspired by the women of the 30’s, which led to me referencing my ladies from ladies from the 30’s when I first started learning how to draw them. Kane Trubenbacher was also one of my biggest influences, which seems weird because our styles are basically opposite, but the way he configures elements together inspired me tremendously and led to a turning point in my art style.

What type of materials did you start out using and what materials do you love to use now? I started out using Winsor and Newton watercolor, which is a thicker paint you add water to. It’s okay to begin with, but now I use Ecoline watercolor and it’s way easier to work with. I’ve been using that for the past 3 years now. As for paper, I began with hot press watercolor paper because I was trying to make botanical art, but now I use Fabriano Studio 140lb cold press paper and I’ve been using that for about 3 years also.

When you’re creating a new drawing, how do you begin your process? Most of the time it begins with whatever I’m feeling, or thinking being manifested into an image. Sometimes it’s a thought theme I’ve been having, whether I keep thinking about themes like dreams, memory, death etc. and sometimes it’s just how I’m feeling, which could be super happy and excited about life or overwhelmed with anxiety and whatever else is going in my head.

Any kind of thought or feeling I have I morph into symbols that exist in nature or whatever I think suits it best, and it kind of branches off from the original theme into more connecting themes. Making the actual picture, it always begins different.

My main goal is always to use different ideas in every painting, so I think beginning every painting differently is kind of a natural thing that happens when I try to accomplish that. Sometimes I begin with an idea I had the night before when I was about to sleep and other times I just start sketching on the paper. I also will sketch on graph paper and keep layering my ideas using a light box or a window to trace. I could probably use flowers growing out of a melting eyeball to symbolize five different things, but I’ll try to use an idea I’ve never used before to challenge myself artistic wise and broaden my perspective on the symbolism that surrounds us in nature.

What type of things are you inspired by and how do they found themselves reflected in your work? I’m mostly inspired by nature. Rainbows, mountains, water, the sun, the moon etc. all exist without any war or hate or intention rather than to be. They surround us in the physical world, but also reflect the conscious mind symbolically and I try to translate that in my art. All my women represent mother nature, and her consciousness that transcends to living beings (humans and animals). I believe nature is a natural teacher, and it’s our choice to view it as just objects around us, or to learn from it. When you begin to study and interpret nature, you begin to open new realms of thought (and lack of thought) and expand your conscious mind. That’s been the only way for me to learn about my true self and all the truths that surround me, and there’s nothing more inspiring for me than the truth.

Music also inspires me a lot. You can get the same vibe from a song that you find in a painting, and I find when I’m really into a certain band, it’s vibe will reflect off my painting. Whether it’s a more serious, sad vibe or a psychedelic, energic vibe. Right now, The Voidz are my main music inspiration. The foundation of my art is strongly inspired by bands like The Beatles, The Doors, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Tattoo art is also super inspirational.

Even though my paintings aren’t intended to be tattoos, I’ve been told its tattoo like, and I think that naturally happened from just looking at so much tattoo art and being in love with it. Every now and then I’ll make a flash sheet, and when I sketch out ideas, it usually looks like a bunch of flash. I usually have an easier time making flash sheets than actual paintings. People in general inspire me. Sometimes a painting will be based on a person I met or saw. Even though everything I draw comes from the secret world inside my head, the secret world inside everyone else head is something that fascinates me and is something that will sneak into my drawings whenever I meet someone interesting.

There’s a lot of surrealistic type of landscapes and worlds in your drawings from melting rainbows to lots and lots of eyeballs. What can you tell us about these worlds? They’re all part of the same world that exists in my mind, I like to “walk” through my mind and draw what I see. This world is mine because it’s my perspective, but it connects with every other conscious mind’s world. I could never draw theirs even though it’s the same world, because I could never fully understand their perspective of it. The worlds I create are always positive, even if they were born from any negative feelings or thoughts, they transform negative energy into positive energy. In this way they’re kind of healing places to create for myself, and hopefully also for anyone who visits them. Mostly these worlds are super personal, but they are based off the truth I know everyone can connect to in their own personal way if they’re willing to look deeper and find themselves in these worlds.

Where did you learn your knowledge of art or making art? Art School or Self taught? It was self-taught, but watching my sister paint and seeing what other artists use and how they paint, helped me a lot. Most of it was trial and error. I always liked drawing weird and symbolic things, so a lot of my beginning stuff is a big mess of ideas and constant experimenting. When you paint every day, even if no one is there to tell you what to do, you will eventually find your own personal art language and art will begin to make sense to you.

What’s something you can pass along art tip wise that you either learned in school or on the job so-to-speak? My biggest art tip would be to remember there are no rules to art. The only rules are the ones you make yourself. There’s no right way to make a line, or a color, or a face, or anything. That’s the most important rule I can think of, when you stop worrying about if what you’re doing is right or wrong, you start to realize how limitless creating can be. I mean, of course if you are going to do realism or use specific techniques you’re going to need to follow certain rules. But when trying to develop your own style, go with whatever works for you.

Another tip I’d give is to not compare yourself to other artists. It’s good to be inspired, maybe using similar colors and a similar technique. But if you find yourself trying to be an extension of another artist, or straight up copying what they are doing, you’ll never find out what kind of artist you truly are.

What are your favorite Vans? All the yellow submarine edition ones were my favorite!

What advice would you give someone thinking about art as a career? If you are passionate about art and it’s the only life you can see yourself living, then do it. Art careers are different for everyone, and I don’t even technically have an art career yet, but I’m on my way. Be prepared to dedicate yourself and most of your time to your art. It’s a journey that involves only you. Don’t care what people say who tell you it’s not a good idea if you feel in your heart it’s how you want to live your life.

Anything you’d like to mention coming up the rest of the year? I’m making shirts and prints! Also I’m hoping to get a tattoo apprenticeship this year! Other than that, I’m just continuing to paint my mind and share it with people in hopes it can inspire them in whatever way they need it in their life😊
