Il Bacio

Francesco Hayez, 1859, oil on canvas, Pinacoteca di Brera, Milano

He was a venician painter, in his later years he lived in Milan. Pupil of Maggiotto, he attended the Academy of Venice, completing his studies in Rome where, thanks to Antonio Canova, aimed to merge the classical canons with the colorism of the venetian tradition. After some majors works still in a classical style, he was making his way to find new contents from the new national History. After he moved in Milan he became professor at the Brera Academy. He was in contact with distinguisced academics, writers, thinkers such as Manzoni, Silvio Pellico, Berchet, Grossi and Cattaneo. He was a significan exponent of the italian romantic movement. Next to his great historical paintings, in wich he merges the concern to express with magniloquent composition of the passionate charge, he painted a great number of portraits.

If you ever get to visit Milan, at ten minutes from Piazza Duomo, there is the Pinacoteca di Brera, inside of the Accademia, after entering big wood doors and waved at the Napoleon statue, and after a flight of stairs you are inside one of the oldest (pinacoteque) in Milan. In the last room of the Pinacoteca, after having visited extremely beautifull paintings such as La cena in Emmaus By Caravaggio, Pala Montefeltro by Piero della Francesca, After the landscape of venice by Canaletto, you are welcomed into a dim lit room, with portaits hanging from the walls and in the middle Il Bacio, framed in gold foils.

The painting

The famous painting, in wich a young man embrace in a tight and passionate hug his woman, should resemble a painting from the sentimental and leterary movement popular in the XIX century. The setting is non contemporary (for the painter): the scene of the meeting is on a castle in a foyer, the costumes the two of them are wearing are not really defined, but they could be from the late middle ages. The theme seems to be love because there this intense kiss between two young people, and the woman completely loose herself in it, resembles of the dantian Francesca (inferno V) or the shakespearean Juliette.

But this painting is not resolved just with a romantic vision, this painting was finished in 1859 the year of the second independence war for italy, assumes a clearly political and patriottic meaning if saw under this light.

The man embracing his woman in this hug is one of Risorgimento volunteer, and the ardor of the kiss comes also from the distance and the risks that the war creates. The position of the leg, with the foot onto the first step, suggest this propension for action, with the man ready to flight, held only by the kiss. This interpretation, not difiicult for a contemporary spectator is backed up by different painters or writers of Hayez time.

Both vision, literary and patriottic, would not explain, unfortunately, the fortune of it, because the Bacio has become an icon of the spirit of Risorgimento. The exemplar efficacy of the painting is possible because of the formal values, starting from the essential of the rapresentation, nothing is made to focus on other details if not the linear interweaving of the two lover, and the cromatic solution: the tone, cold and precius, of the dress opposed by warm tones, in particular the red of his leggins.

The light is warm, and arrives from the top left, contributes to create soft color, and the accent of chiaroscuro accentuate the volume of the bodies.

On the bottom left we see a shadow, walking towards the lovers, it could be the authorities (he was like a partisan) after the young man, that would explain why he is ready to go, leaving behing the woman who could help slowing down the authorities.

In the early version of the painting the dress of the woman was green, in honor of the colors of the italian flag. In this version we are sure the man is a volunteer because of the feathered berret.

The most beautiful old cafes in the world

It's hard to believe, but some cafes have existed for several centuries. Just imagine that you can go for a coffee and you will be surrounded by objects that are already 200, or even 300 years old. And how many stories such establishments keep! In this article, we'll highlight 30 old retro cafes you might want to visit on your next trip.

Cafe Chris, Amsterdam

Location:  Bloemstraat 42, 1015 TB Amsterdam, Netherlands Cafe Chris is the oldest establishment in Amsterdam, founded in 1624 in the Jordaan district.

The cafe still has old floorboards, backlit windows, and dark wood paneling.

Gran Caffe Quadri, Venice

Location: Piazza San Marco, 121, 30124 Venezia VE, Italy The establishment opened its doors in 1638 - then it was called Il Rimedio. Malvasia wine was served here and was said to “invigorate the body and awaken the mind.” In 1775, merchant Giorgio Quadri and his wife Naxina, who arrived from Corfu, decided to invest in this cafe. This is how the history of Gran Caffe Quadri began. In 1830, management passed to the Vaerini brothers, who expanded the establishment by one more floor. In 2011, the Alaimo family bought the cafe. In 2018, Gran Caffe Quadri underwent a major renovation. The famous French creative and designer Philippe Starck was invited to transform it.

Mozart and his wife Constance, playwright Hugo von Hofmannsthal, and composer Carl Weber loved to visit it. Cafe Tomaselli recommends trying the Einspänner (double espresso with cold whipped cream) and Melange (an espresso-based coffee drink with the addition of heated and frothed milk and whipped cream).

Location: Piazza San Marco, 57, 30124 Venezia VE, Italy Caffe Florian is one of the first cafes in what is now Italy. It was opened in 1720 under the name Alla Venezia Trionfante. The establishment gained popularity due to the fact that both men and women could visit it - in those years this was very rare. Over time, the cafe began to be called Florian - in honor of the owner Floriani Francesconi. In 1760, the sales point for Venice's first newspaper, Gazzetta Veneta, was opened here. At different times, the cafe was visited by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Johann Goethe, Charles Dickens, George Byron, Giacomo Casanova, Ernest Hemingway and others.

In 1856, the current building was built here according to the design of the architect Carlo Promis. And then the cafe acquired a more elegant form, which we can appreciate today - its walls were decorated with wooden panels, mirrors and lamps. It now has round white marble tables, a counter, and shelves. This establishment was the birthplace of the famous Turin drink Bicerin - a mixture of coffee, chocolate, milk and syrup. Even Alexandre Dumas mentioned it in one of his novels.

He became the first to offer customers slices of his signature Coogler cake to-go in cardboard boxes. During a visit to Paris in 1882, Henrik Kugler met Emil Gerbaud - they soon became business partners. And later, a French confectioner entrepreneur bought the cafe completely. With the advent of Gerbeau, many changes took place in the confectionery - the menu expanded, the equipment changed, and the staff increased. Café Gerbeaud became a favorite place not only among city residents, but also among city guests, since the prices here were affordable for absolutely everyone. After Emile Gerbeau's death in 1919, his wife ran the confectionery. From 1950 to 1984 the cafe was nationalized and was called Vörösmarty.

The Winged Lion of Venice

The Lion of Venice is an ancient bronze winged lion sculpture in the Piazza San Marco of Venice, Italy, which came to symbolize the city – as well as one of its patron saints, St Mark – after its arrival there in the 12th century.

The Lion sculpture has had a very long and obscure history, probably starting its existence as a winged lion-griffin statue on a monument to the god Sandon at Tarsus in Cilicia about 300 BC. The figure, which stands on the eastern column, at some point came to represent the Lion of Saint Mark, traditional symbol of Saint Mark the evangelist.

The Lion, in its present form, is a composite of different pieces of bronze created at very different times, building upon ancient "core" components. It has undergone extensive restoration and repair work at various times.

Scientific and art historical studies in the 1980s led to the conclusion that it was created between the end of the 4th and the beginning of the 3rd centuries BC somewhere in the Hellenistic Greek or Oriental Greek world. The original bronze figure, taken as a whole, was likely significantly different from the Lion of today; and, predating Christianity, would not have originally had any association with Saint Mark.

It was looted by Napoleon in 1797 and taken to Paris where it adorned a fountain. After his death, however, it was returned to Venice in 1816, where it has been standing in its old location ever since.

Napoli

Napels is die derde grootste stad in Italië naas Rome en Milan. Dis vuil en skoon en besig en raserig en oud en verrassend en Maradona bedonderd.

Die stad is glo die geboorteplek van die pizza. Plat stukke brood, met 'n bolaag van enige soort kos, is aan die arm mense uitgedeel teen 'n minimale koste. 'n Bakker, Raffaele Esposito, het die arm-offerdis verander deur net kaas, kruie en tamatie te gebruik, die wêreld se eerste Margherita pizza.

Napels loop, soos oral hier, oor van geskiedenis. Daar is twee koninklike paleise, drie groot kastele, menigte ruïnes oral in die stad en 'n oorlading van kerke. (Wat my dwars in die krop steek is die feit dat geboue nie net langs die kerke gebou is nie, maar behoorlik vas aan die buitemure daarvan). Daar is hope museums, markte, ondergrondse grafte, 'n operahuis, monumente en menigte ou straatjies in die 'Centro Storico'. Die hoofstraat van 'Centro Storico' bestaan uit n hele paar strate wat dit 2 km lank maak. Die straat deel die ou gebied in twee. Om dit maklik te maak is diè elle lang straat Spaccanapoli genoem.

Die groot plein hieronder was aanvanklik aan Napoleon opgedra, maar die politiek het gedurende die bou daarvan so verander dat die planne verander is en dit Piazza del Plebiscito genoem is, te doen met Napels se inskakeling by die Koninkryk van Italië.

Onder een van die kerke is n ou mark ontdek wat skynbaar deur 'n grondskuiwing begrawe was. Die nageslag het dit nie van waarde geskat en die kerk bo-op gebou.

Lekker afval!! Vars gehang in 'n waterstort met foto's van die disse wat jy kan bestel daarvan.

Hamme vir die pizza

'n Ongelooflike winkelsentrum.

Bertrand charms English visitor on Elba

Count Bertrand was lodged in the Hotel de Ville, which is situated in the Piazza, or square of the town; but in apartments of a most miserable, barrack-like description. We ascended to the sitting-room by three unconnected flights of stone steps; the furniture consisted of about half a dozen chairs, a couple of tables, and a mattress laid on chairs, by way of sofa, for the accommodation of Madame Bertrand--the floor was of brick, the walls were bare, and the windows were without curtains. The dining apartment was very small, and the furniture pretty much of the same description as that in the sitting-room.

Nothing could exceed the kindness and attention which we experienced from the Count and Countess, during our stay on the Island ; which, owing to contrary winds and other causes, was protracted much beyond what we anticipated. At his residence we found a welcome at all hours ; he furnished us with books; presented us with tickets for the balls given at the theatre; procured for us an introduction to Napoleon, his mother, and sister, and in short, did all in his power to render our stay agreeable. It was quite delightful to see him with his children: the eldest, called Napoleon, was born a few days before the battle of Wagram; the second was a remarkably fine little girl. Count Bertrand has made the greatest sacrifices in order to follow the fortunes of his master, and has indeed proved himself a faithful and firmly attached friend ... Madame Bertrand is a fine woman, of pleasing manners ; she is connected with the Irish family of Dillon, and our conversation with her was carried on both in French and English ; the two languages being frequently used in the same sentence. She was very minute in her enquiries respecting the Empress Maria Louisa and the young Prince, whom we had seen at Vienna.--The Count understood English sufficiently to read it, and apprehend the meaning of a person speaking it, though unable to converse in it himself.

Minutes of a conversation with Napolen Bonaparte, during his residence at Elba, in January 1815 by John Henry Vivian, 1839. (Link)

Livia Raimondi, storia di un'amante.

Ingresso delle truppe francesi in Firenze Era il 27 marzo 1799 quando i francesi entrarono a Firenze, passando attraverso quell’arco trionfale, che era stato eretto sessanta anni prima per la venuta dei Lorena, in piazza di Porta San Gallo, l’attuale piazza della Libertà. Recavano un ramoscello di ulivo nelle baionette perché era il giorno di Pasqua e perché si presentarono come “portatori di pace” . Il granduca di Toscana Ferdinando III di Lorena, che si trovava nel palazzo della Meridiana a Palazzo Pitti, fu invitato a lasciare la città ed in Firenze si stanziarono i “Nuvoloni”, termine con cui i fiorentini chiamarono i francesi dal “Nous voulons “ dei loro manifesti ufficiali. Dopo la parentesi del Regno d’Etruria, durato dal 1801 al 1807, la Toscana dal 1808 era stata formalmente annessa alla Francia e divisa nei tre dipartimenti dell’Arno, di cui Firenze fece parte, dell’ Ombrone e del Mediterraneo. Napoleone conferì il “governo generale del dipartimento della Toscana” alla sorella Elisa con il titolo di granduchessa e la giunta straordinaria di Toscana, presieduta dal generale Jean Francois, barone di Menou, approvò la prima delibera istitutiva del censimento generale della popolazione dei tre dipartimenti per motivi fiscali, di circoscrizione militare e per l’eliminazione del maggiorascato ed altro. Il Fallani, a seguito di questi considerevoli interventi, nel 1786 realizzò anche una nuova facciata in stile barocco fiorentino ed una nuova porta principale, contrassegnata, a patire dal 1810, dal n. 518 e che si apriva sull’allora piazza Imperiale, denominata in precedenza piazza del Granduca, ed oggi conosciuta come piazza della Signoria. Livia risultava residente a Firenze da ben 22 anni, vale a dire dal 1788, anno in cui aveva dato alla luce un figlio, nato dall’unione con il granduca. Il bambino non avendo potuto né essere riconosciuto come figlio naturale di Pietro Leopoldo, in quanto concepito fuori dal vincolo matrimoniale e per giunta da un legame con una donna definita “di basse origini”, né potendo avere il cognome della madre, per non rendere ufficiale il legame, risultò alla nascita uno dei tanti figli dello Spedale degli Innocenti ed al quale, solo più tardi, sarà assegnato il nome di “Luigi von Grun”. L’ 8 gennaio del 1788 era nato anche Rodolfo Giovanni, il sedicesimo ed ultimo figlio che Pietro Leopoldo ebbe dalla moglie Maria Luisa di Borbone, figlia del re Carlo III di Spagna, con la quale si era unito in matrimonio ad Innsbruck nel 1765. La sorte di questi due figli del granduca sarà molto diversa: Rodolfo Giovanni sarà avviato alla carriera ecclesiastica, mentre Luigi von Grun a quella militare a Vienna. Nel 1790 Pietro Leopoldo, in seguito alla morte del fratello, l’imperatore Giuseppe II, dovette succedergli al trono, col nome di Leopoldo II e per questo fu costretto ad abbandonare la Toscana. L’ imperatore prima della sua morte aveva assicurato già a lei ed al figlio Luigi una rendita che avrebbe permesso loro di vivere... Fine prima parte segue seconda parte il giorno lunedì 31/07/2017

Nota anche come la Residenza Sabauda per la Caccia e le Feste ed edificata dal 1729 su progetto di Filippo Juvarra, la Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi è uno dei gioielli monumentali di Torino, a 10 km da Piazza Castello. Riaperta al pubblico dopo importanti lavori di restauro, la Palazzina di Caccia  ha piena dignità museale con i suoi arredi originali, i dipinti, i capolavori di ebanistica e il disegno del territorio. La costruzione della Palazzina di Caccia iniziò nel 1729 su progetto di Filippo Juvarra, e continuò fino alla fine del XVIII secolo con interventi di ampliamento e completamento di Benedetto Alfieri e di altri architetti quali Giovanni Tommaso Prunotto, Ignazio Birago di Borgaro, Ludovico Bo, Ignazio Bertola. Testimonianza eccezionale dello spirito del tardo Juvarra e di Benedetto Alfieri, fu il luogo  per la caccia nella vita di corte sabauda, sontuosa e raffinata dimora prediletta dai Savoia per feste e matrimoni durante i secoli  XVIII e XIX, nonché residenza prescelta da Napoleone nei primi anni dell’800.
