As the same artists says: “ It is a vast archieve of books, each of them created by books already exsisting , numbered as if they are new ones. Each book has it’s own structure, reassambled each time from an original material and from the possibilities that comes with it. While the library is expanding with the arrivals of new books, each single piece implicates the potential possibility to become the centre of a spatial installation, an extention of the subject, of shape, of context, as the logically meaning of the rythm of the book.”

Palazzo Re Enzo – Rubbiani Hall 3

piazza Nettuno

What happens if cinema stops ? If the film interrupts and each single photogram is brought into bareness ?

The work of Giovani Bellavia is this: to return the film into the status of single image, to create new life from a modular montage, into specularities and a viral of colours. It is not any longer about following a movement, but to emerge into the picture and read it, to make it become a true textual corpus.

Between the images immortalized appears two women reading: Monica Vitti in The Night (La Notte) by Antonioni, who reads nestled on a staircase, and Paola Pitagora in “I Pugni in Tasca” by Marco Bellocchio, who stares into a misterious monitor-mirror from which outburst the carachters of a magical alphabet. Just as the film witholds traces and signs, also the book has become a container of memories: the book of paper and the book of the future, the traditional book and the futuristic one, the instrumental book of concentration and the ansious questioned one, the book that assorbes, the book that evaporates …

Like this, in August 1869, Giosue Carducci wrote to Giuseppe Chiarini, confidentially revealing once again to his fraternity friend his love of the beautiful, good and rare book, perhaps ornated with xilographies and etchings, just as to represent the best printing and, so, the most credited fiological edition of a work by a loved and studied author. Of this passionated bibliofila that have followed Carducci during the whole of his life, this exhibition only gives us a smaller selection. The poetic text exposed, more or less printed in the XVII century, derives from the shelfes in the bedroom of the literate, the room of the Home- Museum where the most precious prints are on display of the great carduccian library. There are famous authors (from Boiardo to Marino, from Tansillo to Gaspara Stampa) and less famous where the nucleous is arranged by genres: of which among others, eroic and sacred poems, madrigals, satir, tragedies, tragicomics and pastorals.

During the military expeditions and the diplomatic missions for which he travelled around Europe and in Asia, Marsili collected printed books and manuscripts that he used for his studies and, after the foundation of the Institute of Sciences, that become a precious librarian heritage at disposal for academic scholars. The works on show have been selected for their rarity and for the importance of the editions, but mostely with the intent to exemplify the interests and the elements of study of the poliedric duke Marsilio, so that to become the areas studied within the Institute: anatomy, natural sciences, geography, chemics, physics, astonomy, antiques and military arts.

Of all the paper materials that are involved during the creation of a movie, the sketches are those who incarnates a first, and therefore idealistic, visual concept of a film. In particulary the drawings by Russel Spencer The Great Dictator- that includes some of the sequences presented in the original scenes but not in the actual final film- have an expressionist style, almost naif, characters then efficently trasported from Chaplin in one of the films that have had a major impact of the history of the cinema.

Main character of this exhibition is Gaetano Gaspari (1807-1881), a composer and bibliographer, library officer since 1885 of the musical gimnasium in Bologna, that seals up the international component of the collections thanks to a sistematic organization, to the perfect examples of schedules, finalized as to achieve a compilation of a bibliography of ancient music never published, and last, to the network of his personal contacts with the major bibliographers and librarians in Europe for the buying, as well as for the bibliographic control, of rareand prestigious volumes of musical interest.

The present seminar intend to give an enlarged view of these aspects, by using an interdisiplinary spirit, showing that the new technologies can produce new intelligent paths, as well as influence the diffusion of the context (es. 3D).

Among the artistic and intellectual groups, there have always been quite a diffused “illness” the one of the librido; a sindrome that obliges the addicted one to the constant buying of books, magazines, paper materials of each type and genre. The danger of librido is complicated of the rejections that the ill sistematically opposes

To every cure: Normally affected in early age, the libridos continues to buy during the whole of their lifes, without sensibility for spaces, dust, transports or maintenance that, among other, is implicated with the illness. In the meetings organized in Bologna, five estimated sick will talk about their particular case of librido, telling the audience how they manage to live with great happiness and sadisfaction.

Exhibitions, anniversaries, notices, more and more often, the lifes of the artists inglobates us and awake our curiousness about them. Through the works by art historicans and historicans, we can trace the works and the dark sides, the masterpices and the biographic events of masters that shouldn’t be considered as supernatural genius, but persons in flesh and blood, just like one of us. It seems to be obvious, but in fact, this relecture of the activities of the artists, also in the relation of the work by the artists considering their personal adventures, is a grand way of gain comprehension of art history and to be able to interpret the master pieces in the context of their human reality.

Ernst Gombrich and C.W. Ceram have clearly teached us: art history can be diffused in a pleasant way. The life of the artists and their ways of looking at works of art implicates in the bottom end tastely ingredients of suspence and of adventures that are tipical of the novel. How many times haven’t the litterary critics, after have been reading an essay that, finally, have kept them awake the whole night, esclamated with a canonic expression: It’s an essay, but you might read it as a novel !”

The cicle of meetings to be held are dedicated to those books with the title” essays as novels” organized within the framework of Artelibro 2010. Famous writers of novels such as Melania Mazzucco, will explain why the have feelt the neccesety to write essays with the intense rythm of a novel around the life and works of Tintoretto. And two cultural journalists, Fabio Isman and Marco Carminati, will discuss with the audience about their researches around the works of art in movement, from the ones illegaly exported until those ended at the end of the world, as consequences of wars, of exhibitions and of the desire of the collectors.

FROM ANCIENT GREECE TO MODERN SONGWRITERS. FORMS OF POETRY IN MUSIC

20.30-21.30

Aula Magna Santa Lucia

via Castiglione, 36

Perhaps the first song of the human beeing was the word o perhaps the first word of the human was the song: anyhow, since, as Cicerone said, “est autem in dicendo etiam cantus quidam obscurior”, in this misterious expressive relation between vocal and sound lies all the magic of nature and the human personality.

The works by songwriters will be at centre of the attention during the relation held by Roberto Vecchioni, artist, writer and professor that will speak about the poetic forms in music, to begin with Grecean lirics until present.

THE VERTIGO OF THE LIST

20.00 – 21.30

Aula Magna di S. Lucia

via Castiglione, 36

In the Iliade there appears two ways of representing. The first one you got when Omero describes the shiled of Achille: it is a complete and concluded form where everything that you might know about a city is reppresented, it’s contado, it’s wars and it’s pacific rituals. The other way is represented when the poet doesn’t manage to tell how many and who all the Acheian warriors were:

He asks the muses for help, but he has to limitate himself to it so called enormous catalogue of the ships, that concludes ideally in an eccettera. This second way of representation is a list. There are lists that have practical reasons of beeing, and they are infinite, as the list of all the books in a library; but there are also others that wishes to give an idea of the numerous grandeurs, and those ones remains incompleted at the edges of the indefined. The literature of all times is enriched indefinitively with lists, from Esiodo to Joyce, from Ezechiele to Gadda. Often they are lists extended by the pure pleasure of numbering, because of the refrain of the list or, further, for the giddy pleasure to put together elements without a particular connection between them, which happens in the so called caotic numberings. The scope will not only be to discover a literally genre rarely analized, but also to show how figurative arts are capable of suggesting indefinite lists, even when the representation seems strictly limited by the frame of the painting.

TWENTY FIVE YEARS OF DESIRES FOR THE RELICS OF THE 20TH CENTURY

18.00 – 19.00

piazza Nettuno

At the beginning of the eighties a generation of collectors and of antiquarian librarians discovered the tastiness about the first editions of the 20th century Italian, a genre of the book market that until then had interested a very few appasionate collectors. The first catalogues started to be published, one by one, where our eyes could clearly see colourful books and futuristic magazines, as the great season of Italian poetry such as from Campana to Ungaretti until Montale, the semi-secrets by many authors that conquerred celebrity later on, the first novels by Alberto Moravia or by Romano Bilenchi, the neo -realism or ermetism. If you might found a fresh one it might cost you around euro 250, merely more. It wasn’t about fetischism of owning the rare book, it was about the fantastic experience to rewrite the latest century of Italian cultural history.

It arrived in a kind of obscure way from the Mountain Athos, and the copy that served as the base for the French translator-editor where bought in Athens, where it was in the hands of a misterious Greek that had copied the text himself. How is it then that this text, even if dating back from the 16th century (but the date is questionated), also handled in parts the eliographic techniques ? It is indeed possible to reveal the “mistery” and we will see how.

ABY WARBURG

16.30 – 17.30

Palazzo Re Enzo – Sala del Capitano

piazza Nettuno

With out no doubt the personality to whom art history of today owns the most is to Aby Warburg (1866-1929) “ hebrew by blood, with his heart in Hamburg, Fiorentin in his soul”. As a thesis he suggests, to his professor’s disgust, to study a one single detail of the panel of the Nimph in a work by Botticelli. He is interested in studying the persistance of some ancient models that transits not only through the cultivated arts and poetry, but also through minor details:

bigot imaginary, the lunars, alchemy, esoterism, superstition. He revolutionates his legendary library (put in safe in London as moved from Hamburg during the nazism) according to the laws of “good neighbourhood”. I.e. it is not a specialized library, but a vertical one, personal, inventive, just as his studies, that goes from the myth of the snake of the Pueblo American Indians to the astrological circle at Palazzo Schifanoia, from the Medicean parties to memory and Mnemosyne, and still others.

CESARE BETTINI (1814-1885)

An anatomic drawer, painter and litographer from Bologna

11.00-12.00

Palazzo Re Enzo – Sala del Capitano

piazza Nettuno

The collaboration between Cesare Bettini and the most vital interpreters of the botanical and anatomic bolognese scene dates back from the 1834. His frequency of the Art Academy had turned him into an expert in practice and in drawing. A steady hand, a neatness in his outlines,

his discerning vision, follows him both in his artistic expressions as well as in his praxis of anatomy. In the framework of the collaboration with Luigi Calori it is suitable to remember the plates drawn from real and on stone, that goes with the studies of the brain of an african from Guinea. Together with the drawing Bettin made models in vax and plaster, strategically for the didactic and testimony of the artist’s close link to the grand vax-plastic art bolognese tradition. Today those models are conserved in the Museum of Anatomic Vax Models Luigi Cattaneo.

““The book is the place for a text such as the image is for the silence”.

If the text can be corrupted or interpreted the silence doesn’t allow misunderstandings. In this way memory that takes form in a text is diffrent from the memory fixed in an image. Both takes care of what should otherwise be lost. What in each instant risks to be lost is the micro- fragment of truth of which we can be testimonies. A good book, a beautiful picture, retains this fragment because noone can ever again exclude it from the outer world” (Paolo Tonini).

The Bizzarie di varie figure, printed in Livorno in the year of 1624, costitutes the most vital and original etchings of a deeply creative florentin artist: Giovanni Battista d’Antoni Bracelli, who operated between 1616 and 1649. A creation this one of visual strangeness, composed by funny as well as surprinsingly, variations of human form, trasfigurated and constructed in an incredible variety of objects, materials and elements animeted and inanimated. The Bizzarie, an artistical enigma without predecessors nor explanations, are proposed as remarkable forerunner of the artistic movements of the 20th century, from Surrealism to Dadaism.

The publication, curated by Stella Rudolph, inquires around the relation between the artist with the cameranian church of Saint Nicholas (Niccolò) and has acted as a base to launch a project that valorizes the figure of Maratti and of the civic artistical reality, and has been followed up also by an exhibition “ Collections and diffusions of the Maratti models. Graphic examples from Ascoli to Camerano”.

ICONOGRAPHY AND ARCHETYPES. The Form of Painting 1985-1994

17.00 – 18.30

Palazzo Re Enzo – Sala del Capitano

piazza Nettuno

The volume includes the texts that have been part of the exhibitions held by Mario Diacono between 1985 and 1994 in his galleries in Boston and New York. They refers to more than thirty artists, Americans, Italians and Germans, almost all painters. The decision to privilegate painting is in part because of the centrality that painting as a medium- deconstructed and replasted – has earned, after the years of Minimalism, Conceptualism, Arte Povera, Post-Minimalism and Body Art. But it is radicated mostly because of the fact that evolution of the 20th century art, at least until the mid sixties, has been determined by painting. In the eighties the painting did become a form through which the artist inquiered, in the same moment as art was reaching a historical fulfilment. The book can also been seen as a significant critical breakthrough of the American works in the Maramotti collections, that from the mid seventies had been concentrated on the immediate contemporary , almost turned into an alternative catalogue. In fact in those texts many of the works bought by Achille Maramotti in that decade are beeing discussed, as to testimony of the intense intellectual exchange between the author and the collector, that continued for over thirty years.

In this context Chiara Frugoni indicates the signs that in fact express even only an accerted or accepted difference: in particulary by showing it through various images of Jews, of representations of the contexts between Church- Sinagoga, of figures in jewish clothes as to reveal in what way the medieval in an artistic context have been tollerant towards “others”, without doubt more frequently than in the reality.

The covers, the papers, the grammatics, the formats, the colour, the pages, the bindings , by “deconstruct” one aquires conciousness regarding each element, and by making not only one expriments with techniques and solutions, but one confronts charateristic, that otherwise would be difficult to point out.

From 6 years of age and up.

Before the book as we know it, the one with the pages you can browse, one used to write on long sheets than then where rolled up.

The rolled books are presented in various cultures and hosts diverse alphabets.

The text, the shape of characters, the coloured inks, the decorations and the arrangements ordered

of all these elements onto support, make it possible for the visual impression to be that of a uniform texture, or a carpet disegned from images and words written in an unappreciated language.

With bobbins, tubes, bottles, rolling pins and strings, plastics, gums, sponges and electrical refuses

we will make rolls to print imaginary, invented scriptures.

Palazzo Re Enzo – Sala del Capitano

The collaboration between Cesare Bettini and the most vital interpreters of the botanical and anatomic bolognese scene dates back from the 1834. His frequency of the Art Academy had turned him into an expert in practice and in drawing. A steady hand, a neatness in his outlines,

his discerning vision, follows him both in his artistic expressions as well as in his praxis of anatomy. In the framework of the collaboration with Luigi Calori it is suitable to remember the plates drawn from real and on stone, that goes with the studies of the brain of an african from Guinea. Together with the drawing Bettin made models in vax and plaster, strategically for the didactic and testimony of the artist’s close link to the grand vax-plastic art bolognese tradition. Today those models are conserved in the Museum of Anatomic Vax Models Luigi Cattaneo.

Curated by Stefano Zuffi

Exhibitions, anniversaries, notices, more and more often, the lifes of the artists inglobates us and awake our curiousness about them. Through the works by art historicans and historicans, we can trace the works and the dark sides, the masterpices and the biographic events of masters that shouldn’t be considered as supernatural genius, but persons in flesh and blood, just like one of us. It seems to be obvious, but in fact, this relecture of the activities of the artists, also in the relation of the work by the artists considering their personal adventures, is a grand way of gain comprehension of art history and to be able to interpret the master pieces in the context of their human reality.

THE VERTIGO OF THE LIST

20.00 – 21.30

Aula Magna di S. Lucia

via Castiglione, 36

In the Iliade there appears two ways of representing. The first one you got when Omero describes the shiled of Achille: it is a complete and concluded form where everything that you might know about a city is rappresented, it’s contado, it’s wars and it’s pacific rituals. The other way is represented when the poet doesn’t manage to tell how many and who all the Acheian warriors were:

He asks the muses for help, but he has to limitate himself to it so called enormous catalogue of the ships, that concludes ideally in an eccettera. This second way of rappresentation is a list. There are lists that have practical reasons of beeing, and they are infinite, as the list of all the books in a library; but there are also others that wishes to give an idea of the numerous grandeurs, and those ones remains incompleted at the edges of the indefined. The litterature of all times is enriched indefinitively with lists, from Esiodo to Joyce, from Ezechiele to Gadda. Often they are lists extended by the pure pleasure of numbering, because of the refrain of the list or, further, for the giddy pleasure to put together elements without a particular connection between them, which happens in the so called caotic numberings. The scope will not only be to discover a litterally genre rarely analized, but also to show how figurative arts are capable of suggesting indefinite lists, even when the representation seems strictly limited by the frame of the painting.

The present seminar intend to give an enlarged view of these aspects, by using an interdisiplinary spirit, showing that the new technologies can produce new intelligent paths, as well as influence the diffusion of the context (es. 3D). The juridical aspects helps to strenghten those new scenaries, they define a perimeter within which a culture can grow as to divide the respectful rights of knowledge.

IMAGES AND BOOKS BETWEEN TRUTH AND MEMORY

“The book is the place for a text such as the image is for the silence”.

If the text can be corrupted or interpreted the silence doesn’t allow misunderstandings. In this way memory that takes form in a text is diffrent from the memory fixed in an image. Both takes care of what should otherwise be lost. What in each instant risks to be lost is the micro- fragment of truth of which we can be testimonies. A good book, a beautiful picture, retains this fragment because noone can ever again exclude it from the outer world” (Paolo Tonini).

Ernst Gombrich and C.W. Ceram have clearly teached us: art history can be diffused in a pleasant way. The life of the artists and their ways of looking at works of art implicates in the bottom end tastely ingredients of suspence and of adventures that are tipical of the novel. How many times haven’t the litterary critics, after have been reading an essay that, finally, have kept them awake the whole night, esclamated with a canonic expression: It’s an essay, but you might read it as a novel !”

The cicle of meetings to be held are dedicated to those books with the title” essays as novels” organized within the framework of Artelibro 2010. Famous writers of novels such as Melania Mazzucco, will explain why the have feelt the neccesety to write essays with the intense rythm of a novel around the life and works of Tintoretto. And two cultural journalists, Fabio Isman and Marco Carminati, will discuss with the audience about their researches around the works of art in movement, from the ones illegaly exported until those ended at the end of the world, as consequences of wars, of exhibitions and of the desire of the collectors.

The Bizzarie di varie figure, printed in Livorno in the year of 1624, costitutes the most vital and original etchings of a deeply creative florentin artist: Giovanni Battista d’Antoni Bracelli, who operated between 1616 and 1649. A creation this one of visual strangeness, composed by funny as well as surprinsingly, variations of human form, trasfigurated and constructed in an incredible variety of objects, materials and elements animeted and inanimated. The Bizzarie, an artistical enigma without predecessors nor explanations, are proposed as remarkable forerunner of the artistic movements of the 20th century, from Surrealism to Dadaism.

The volume “Un gioiello del Barocco romano a Camerano. La chiesa di S. Faustina e la cappellania istituta da Carlo Maratti”, illustrates the story of a close connection between Carlo Maratti (1625-1713), one of the most estimated exponents of the 17th century classicism, and his birthplace, Camerano in the province of Ancona. The publication, curated by Stella Rudolph, inquires around the relation between the artist with the cameranian church of Saint Nicholas (Niccolò) and has acted as a base to launch a project that valorizes the figure of Maratti and of the civic artistical reality, and has been followed up also by an exhibition “ Collections and diffusions of the Maratti models. Graphic examples from Ascoli to Camerano”.

This editorial initiative, by the editor 24 Ore Motta Cultura Srl, and completed thanks to the fundamental collaboration of the bank Cassa Rurale ed Artigiana San Giuseppe- Credito Cooperativo, intends to act as a tribute to one of it’s most estimated citizens, and focus the attention of the big audience on an artistic activity that is little known in the region of the Marche.

The book by Mauro Bellei “ 900 in Sassi”, edited in three languages by the publishing house Les Trois Ourses, presents a particular art history of the last century by the study of some archetypical stones. An architipycal stone, through it’s inclusions, it’s venes and it’s stratifications, is a key of interpretation to a particular artist. The collection of the presentated stones forms an interpretation of twentyfive artists that have influenced the century. At the end the reader can go on follwing this trace with the serach of a stone by a favourite artist. This book is also a tribute to Bruno Munari that in 1971 published “Da lontanto era un’isola” (From afar it was an island).

ICONOGRAPHY AND ARCHETYPES. The Form of Painting 1985-1994

17.00 – 18.30

Palazzo Re Enzo – Sala del Capitano

piazza Nettuno

The volume includes the texts that have been part of the exhibitions held by Mario Diacono between 1985 and 1994 in his galleries in Boston and New York. They refers to more than thirty artists, Americans, Italians and Germans, almost all painters. The decision to privilegate painting is in part because of the centrality that painting as a medium- deconstructed and replasted – has earned, after the years of Minimalism, Conceptualism, Arte Povera, Post-Minimalism and Body Art. But it is radicated mostly because of the fact that evolution of the 20th century art, at least until the mid sixties, has been determined by painting. In the eighties the painting did become a form through which the artist inquiered, in the same moment as art was reaching a historical fulfilment. The book can also been seen as a significant critical breakthrough of the American works in the Maramotti collections, that from the mid seventies had been concentrated on the immediate contemporary , almost turned into an alternative catalogue. In fact in those texts many of the works bought by Achille Maramotti in that decade are beeing discussed, as to testimony of the intense intellectual exchange between the author and the collector, that continued for over thirty years.

TWENTY FIVE YEARS OF DESIRES FOR THE RELICS OF THE 20TH CENTURY

18.00 – 19.00

Palazzo Re Enzo .- Sala del Quadrante

piazza Nettuno

At the beginning of the eighties a generation of collectors and of antiquarian librarians discovered the tastiness about the first editions of the 20th century Italian, a genre of the book market that until then had interested a very few appasionate collectors. The first catalogues started to be published, one by one, where our eyes could clearly see colourful books and futuristic magazines, as the great season of Italian poetr,y such as from Campagna to Ungaretti until Montale, the semi-secrets by many authors that conquerred celebrity later on, the first novels by Alberto Moravia or by Romano Bilenchi, the neo -realism or ermetism. If you might found a fresh one it might cost you around euro 250, merely more. It wasn’t about fetischism of owning the rare book, it was about the fantastic experience to rewrite the latest century of Italian cultural history.

Exhibitions, anniversaries, notices, more and more often, the lifes of the artists inglobates us and awake our curiousness about them. Through the works by art historicans and historicans, we can trace the works and the dark sides, the masterpices and the biographic events of masters that shouldn’t be considered as supernatural genius, but persons in flesh and blood, just like one of us. It seems to be obvious, but in fact, this relecture of the activities of the artists, also in the relation of the work by the artists considering their personal adventures, is a grand way of gain comprehension of art history and to be able to interpret the master pieces in the context of their human reality.

The Jewish rappresentation

Palazzo Re Enzo – Sala del Quadrante

At the centre of the last book by Chiara Frugoni there is the Middle Ages and it’s images: its about miniatures, frescos or details of frescos, sculptures, ebany that the author analizes through tematic lines, suggestioning in the apperances of iconographic models the simbolic rappresentation of political concepts, etics and religious fundamentals of the medieval culture. In this context Chiara Frugoni indicates the signs that in fact express even only an accerted or accepted difference: in particulary by showing it through various images of Jews, of rappresentations of the contexts between Church- Sinagoga, of figures in jewish clothes as to reveal in what way the medieval in an artistic context have been tollerant towards “others”, without doubt more frequently than in the reality.

Among the artistic and intellectual groups, there have always been quite a diffused “illeness” the one of the librido; a sindrome that obliges the addicted one to constant buying of books, magazines, paper materials of each type and genre. The danger of librido is complicated of the rejections that the ill sistematically opposes

To every cure: Normally affected in early age, the libridos continues to buy during the whole of their lifes, without sensibility for spaces, dust, transports or maintenance that, among other, is implicated with the illness. In the meetings organized with in Bologna, five estimated sick will talk about their particular case of librido, telling the audience how they manage to live with great happiness and sadisfaction.

THE MISTERIOUS STORY OF THE ART HANDBOOK BY DIONIGI DI FURNA

12.00 – 13.00

Archiginnasio – Sala dello Stabat Mater

piazza Galvani, 1

At the middle of the 19th century , in France appeared a handbook of Bizantine art. It arrived in a kind of obscure way from the Mountain Athos, and the copy that served as the base for the French translator-editor where bought in Athens, where it was in the hands of a misterious Greek that had copied the text himself. How is it then that this text, even if dating back from the 16th century (but the date is questionated), also handled in parts the eliographic tecniques ? It is indeed possible to reveal the “mistery” and we will see how.

ABY WARBURG

16.30 – 17.30

Palazzo Re Enzo – Sala del Capitano

piazza Nettuno

With out no doubt the personality to whom art history of today owns the most is to Aby Warburg (1866-1929) “ hebrew by blood, with his heart in Hamburg, Fiorentin in his soul”. As a thesis he suggests, to his professor’s disgust, to study a one single detail of the panel of the Nimph in a work by Botticelli. He is interested in studying the persistance of some ancient models that transits not only through the cultivated arts and poetry, but also through minor details:

bigot imaginary, the lunars, alchemy, esoterism, superstition. He revolutionates his legendary library (put in safe in London as moved from Hamburg during the nazism) according to the laws of “good neighbourhood”. I.e. it is not a specialized library, but a vertical one, personal, inventive, just as his studies, that goes from the myth of the snake of the Pueblo American Indians to the astrological circle at Palazzo Schifanoia, from the Medicean parties to memory and Mnemosyne, and still others.

Each chapter is opended with a particular focus on a historic classification and the schematic and cronological summary of major events. The photography of the whole of each single decade has been commissioned to an editorial on a central theme and predominant of the decade, then commissioned to the collaborators of the newspaper. Inside the chapters the volume alterns the initial pages with the most important news and the comments of some collaborators of importance, with other unsuspected vocies, that during history have left a trace on the pages of the newspaper regarding the everyday life of a time period, often through a very accurate modern point of view.
