(In the play, the “statue” of Hermione that has supposedly been made by Romano
turns out to be Hermione herself.) Today, Romano is known primarily as a
painter, and critics of the snickering sort enjoy pointing out that Shakespeare
committed an error in naming him as a sculptor. But, as my visit to Mantua was
to reveal, there is more – quite literally – to Romano than meets the eye. <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

Lombardy, the pleasant garden of great Italy”, the ruling <b>Gonzaga family</b> generated an energy of creative activity that is
hard to beat, even in Italy. Shakespeare’s contemporary, Duke Vincenzo Gonzaga,
talent-spotted the young <b>Rubens</b> and
brought him to town, made the composer <b>Monteverdi</b>
his <i>maestro di cappella</i>, and rescued
the poet <b>Tasso</b> from the madhouse, to
offer him succour for life. He bought paintings by the young <b>Caravaggio</b>, and was once so bewitched
by a Raphael Madonna belonging to the Count of Canossa that he handed over an
entire estate — land, castle, rent and all — in exchange. Many of the
paintings, the palaces and Mantua’s delicate skyline remain intact.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

letter as a “most noble genius both in painting and in architecture”, one <b>Giulio Pippi</b>, <b>known as <i>“the Roman”</i></b>. So
Romano was not only a painter, but an architect, too. <b>Palazzo Te</b> was to be his grand project in Mantua.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

palace is a revelation. A grand but elegant sprawl, with muted classical
references, and spread with an overwhelming feast of frescoes. There’s
elaborate stuccowork, too, by members of Romano’s workshop, and generally to
his design. The frescoes are an eye-opener: some extraordinarily lewd ones, in
rooms believed to have been the private apartment of Federico’s mistress; in
the <b>Sala dei Cavalli</b>, an array of
trompe l’oeil horses, so jaw-droppingly true to life that — in the same way as
the third Gent says of the figure of Hermione, that <i>“one would speak to her and stand in hope of an answer”</i> — you
almost expect a whinny, or the flick of a mane.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

then, the <b>Sala dei Giganti</b> — a domed
room depicting the <b>Fall of the Giants</b>,
a world of contorted figures and crushed bodies, of columns and boulders,
twisted and fracturing, as if the entire thing is about to fall on your head.
The original design had pebbles on the floor, and a real fire in situ, so that,
as the flames flickered and the crashing underfoot echoed in the cupola, the
battle was given movement and sound effects. “Romano was famous for his bizarre
inventions, and his theatrical spectacles and effects,” my guide tells me.
Statues that came alive, even. But that side of his art is ephemeral — the
tricks, the machinery, the blurring of the line between art and real life.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I wander back through the streets of Mantua, I can’t help thinking that maybe
Shakespeare knew a little more about Giulio Romano than we give him credit for.
That the inventive, trickster artist is a very subtle choice as the “maker” of
a super-realistic sculpture that turns out not to be a sculpture after all. And
then there’s the elaborate stuccowork — arguably as much Romano’s as a Damien
Hirst piece made by workmen in his employ is still said to be “by” Hirst. And
the fact that the 16th-century art historian <b>Giorgio Vasari</b> (a friend of Romano’s) describes Romano’s original
tombstone as referring to him as a master of three arts: painting, architecture
and sculpture. Perhaps the Bard did not commit such a howler after all.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

is distracted as I take in some of the city’s other sights — <b>Teatro Scientifico</b> <b>Bibiena</b>, a gem of an 18th-century theatre; the sober, calming
11th-century <b>Rotonda di San Lorenzo</b>;
a farmer’s market (under the arches of a loggia designed by Romano) replete
with all manner of produce from the “pleasant garden of great Italy”. It is
tempting to think that Shakespeare had some first-hand knowledge of Mantua.
It’s a temptation I resist. Just.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</tbody></table>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Accanto alla torre d’ingresso si è conservato nel tempo il <b>palazzo pretorio</b>, recentemente ristrutturato in modo radicale. Proprio questo restauro, avviano negli anni ’80 del Novecento, ha riportato alla luce, al piano nobile, pareti interamente affrescate con <b>stemmi scaligeri</b> dell’epoca di Cansignorio (1359-1375).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">L’apparente incongruenza di una forte presenza scaligera in un castello mantovano si spiega storicamente con uno dei tanti episodi che hanno segnato la vita di Castel d’Ario, all’epoca chiamato <b><i>Castellaro*</i></b>: terra veronese al tempo di Matilde di Canossa (1046-115), poi andata in feudo al vescovo di Trento nel 1082; sub-infeudata prima ai mantovani Bonacolsi e poi ai loro vincitori Gonzaga; ritornata sotto il dominio diretto di Trento nel ‘700, fino all’avvento di Napoleone. Da allora, la storia del paese segue quella del mantovano, ma intanto, per sette secoli, è ruotata attorno alle mire di tre città: Mantova, Verona e Trento.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Gli affreschi scaligeri (rara testimonianza pittorica dei signori veronesi nei territori che furono loro soggetti) vennero realizzati nel ventennio in cui il castello venne dato in pegno ai Della Scala, a garanzia del prestito di 30.000 fiorini d’oro da essi concesso ai Gonzaga nel 1357.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Il prestito venne poi restituito nei tempi pattuiti e ciò significò il rientro del feudo di Castellaro tra i possedimenti gonzagheschi.</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Oggi nella torre si può visitare solo la cella della ex ghiacciai, poiché è impossibile accedere ai vari piani, privi di solai e di un collegamento col piano terreno, ma con interessantissime vestigia di travi, camini, affreschi e con la volta a crociera intatta all’ultimo piano.</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Per informazioni più dettagliate si rimanda al libro di <b>Gabriella Mantovani,"<i>Il castello di Castel d'Ario. Da Matilde di Canossa ai vescovi di Trento. Dai Turrisendi ai Bonacolsi e ai Gonzaga. Da Napoleone fino ai nostri giorni</i>"</b>, edito da <b>Sometti</b> nel <b>2012</b> (ISBN: 978-88-7495437-7).</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">*L'antica denominazione <b><i>Castellaro</i></b> venne sostituita nella seconda metà del XIX secolo, in quanto ritenuta troppo comune e confondibile con altri villaggi omonimi od assonanti del circondario</span><span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Fu il sindaco <b>Luigi Boldrini</b>, amico di <b>Giosuè Carducci</b>, che chiese al poeta di trovare una nuova e più esclusiva denominazione.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Riferendosi al castello ritenuto di epoca romana, che la leggenda voleva essere stato fondato dal centurione Dario o Ario, Carducci confezionò il nome di<b><i> Castel d'Ario</i></b>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Il consiglio comunale approvò la nuova denominazione il 27 febbraio 1867. (Da Wikipedia).</span><br />

<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A tre mesi dal
terremoto il 7 settembre 2012 riapre al pubblico, se pur parzialmente, il Museo
di Palazzo Ducale, con un percorso che si snoda lungo le stanze e gli
appartamenti di <b>Corte Vecchia</b>, per confluire al piano terra nelle <b>stanze dense
di suggestione dove abitò Isabella d'Este</b>, dopo la scomparsa del consorte
Francesco II Gonzaga. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Il percorso è
arricchito dall'<b>apertura di nuovi appartamenti</b>, quello <b>della Guastalla</b>, ultima
duchessa di Mantova, quello neoclassico detto <b>dell'Imperatrice</b>, con un allestimento
inedito curato da Stefano L'Occaso. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Al piano terra
l'appartamento vedovile di Santa Croce accoglierà nuovi reperti lapidei,
selezionati e studiati da Giovanni Rodella, mentre nelle ultime tre stanze si
potrà ammirare la <b>mostra promossa dal Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg,
Hauptstaatsarchiv di Stoccarda, curata da Peter Rückert dedicata alla figura di
Barbara Gonzaga, figlia di Lodovico II, andata in sposa nel 1474 al principe
tedesco Eberardo V il Barbuto, duca del Württemberg dal 1495. </b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">La Soprintendenza di
Mantova ha dispiegato tutte le forze in campo per poter in tempi brevi riaprire
alla cittadinanza mantovana e ai visitatori le sale del Palazzo Ducale, fulcro
storico artistico di Mantova, anche in ragione della concomitanza con l'evento
del Festivaletteratura. Il laboratorio di restauro della Soprintendenza, con
gli operai e la squadra tecnica, composta dal personale di vigilanza
appositamente formato si è occupato del riordino dei pezzi in esposizione,
della riqualificazione delle stanze dopo gli eventi del sisma. Massimo Piccolo
ha seguito i lavori di messa in sicurezza della stanza dello Zodiaco, della
sala dei Papi, della Galleria Nuova e della Sala degli Arcieri. A questo
proposito si avverte che la sala dello Zodiaco e la sala dei Papi sono ancora
occupate dai ponteggi, così si sono create delle idonee passerelle che
consentono al pubblico di compiere agevolmente il percorso di visita. Quanto
fatto non sarebbe stato possibile senza il sostegno economico della Società
Autostrada del Brennero A22 che ha elargito al Comune di Mantova un
finanziamento, in cospicua parte dirottato tramite la Società per il Palazzo
Ducale, grazie alla disponibilità del suo Presidente Gianpiero Baldessari, al
Palazzo Ducale di Mantova. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Il giorno 6 settembre
alle ore 17.00, si terrà su invito l'apertura del nuovo percorso, la cui
comunicazione è stata curata con nuovi pannelli didattici e schede di
approfondimento da Renata Casarin. Seguirà l'inaugurazione della mostra, alla
presenza della Soprintendente Giovanna Paolozzi Strozzi, con interventi del
Sindaco di Mantova Nicola Sodano, di Walter Pardatscher Presidente della
Società Autostrada del Brennero A22, di Nicole Bickhoff e Peter Ruckert
rispettivamente Direttrice e curatore del Hauptstaatsarchiv di Stoccarda e di Daniela
Ferrari Direttrice dell'Archivio di Stato di Mantova.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>La basilica palatina di Santa Barbara viene</b> <b>costruita dall'architetto e prefetto delle fabbriche Giovanni Battista Bertani, tra il 1562 ed il 1572, su commissione del Duca Guglielmo e della moglie Eleonora d'Asburgo, in occasione della nascita del loro erede Vincenzo.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Nei progetti del Duca Guglielmo, questa chiesa con pianta a croce latina, provvista di presbiterio rialzato, sotto cui si trova una cripta (a tre navate, conclusa da un sacello a pianta ellittica), doveva essere il mausoleo di famiglia.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">La chiesa viene poi dedicata a Santa Barbara, in memoria di Barbara Hohenzollern del Brandeburgo (ritratta da Mantegna nella celeberrima <i>Camera degli Sposi,</i> accanto al marito Ludovico II), bis- bisnonna del Duca Guglielmo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Nella realizzazione di questo progetto, Bertani riserva particolare attenzione al <b>campanile</b>, non a caso collocato al <b>centro del palazzo a forma di città</b>, che diventa il vero e proprio fulcro di tutta la corte, metafora eloquente del potere e dell'autorità del principe, nel microcosmo gonzaghesco.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Pertanto, l'attenzione del progettista è stata anche quella di costruire un'opera il più possibile resistente ai terremoti (vivi, infatti, erano ancora i ricordi di quello del 1560) e di conseguenza la parte terminale del campanile, costituita da colonne, viene cerchiata internamente con un doppio anello in ferro battuto.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Questo accorgimento costruttivo ha permesso alla parte apicale della struttura di non collassare e cadere, subendo però gravi danni con l'ultimo sisma del 29 maggio 2012. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

(<a href="http://www.vigilfuoco.it/sitiVVF/mantova/notizia.aspx?codnews=15677&s=127&grande=si">www.vigilfuoco.it</a>)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Non si dimentichi, infine, che <b>Santa Barbara è anche la patrona del Corpo Nazionale dei Vigili del Fuoco</b>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">[<i>1] SAF è l’acronimo di speleo-alpino-fluviale: personale che opera dove gli altri mezzi non possono arrivare. Con tecniche di derivazione speleologica, alpinistica e fluviale e grazie ad un elevato livello di professionalità questi soccorritori scalano pareti rocciose, scendono in pozzi e grotte o affrontano le correnti dei corsi d'acqua. Le stesse tecniche servono anche a raggiungere campanili, tetti e i piani più alti dei grattacieli dove le normali autoscale non arrivano (fonte <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpo_Nazionale_dei_Vigili_del_Fuoco" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>).</i> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><i>The church of Santa Barbara, erected by the architect Giovanni Battista Bertani between 1562 and 1572, was commissioned by the Duke Guglielmo and his wife the Duchess Eleanor of Austria, for the birth of their first child Vincenzo.</i></b></span><br />
<i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The church, with a Latin-cross interior layout, a raised presbytery and a crypt, was built as a family tomb. The church was later dedicated to Saint Barbara, in memory of Barbara Hohenzollern of Brandenburg (i.e. the Marchioness of Mantua, portrayed by Mantegna in the so called </i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Bridal Chamber</span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">), the great-great grandmother of Duke Guglielmo.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In his project, Bertani (who received his training by Giulio Romano) puts t<b>he massive bell tower</b>, culminating in a lantern, <b>right in the centre of the “palace built in the shape of a city”</b>, to underline its meaning as symbol of the lord’s power and authority.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Therefore, the architect tried to build a building that could resist even to earthquakes (memories of the last one occurred in 1560 were still vivid) and for this reason, the last part of the bell tower – the columns – was enclosed internally by a double wrought iron ring.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In the last four centuries, this technical choice has been the best one to prevent the dome and the lantern to collapse down, even after the strong earthquake on May 29th, 2012.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>A special crew of firefighters</b>, the so called <b>S.A.F.</b> <span style="font-size: x-small;">[1]</span> first started working with propping under the damaged arches and then, between June 26th and July 7th, put a reticular structure of buttresses made of steel pipes (tubi Innocenti) to enclose the top of the bell tower, making it safe. (www.vigilfuoco.it)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It has been an extraordinary work of engineering, particularly true considering the height of 56 meters (156 feet).</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">At last, but not least, we must not forget that <b>Saint Barbara is also the patron saint of firefighter</b> and for this reason we want to publish some pictures regarding the great job the firemen did, to save the dome of the bell-tower Church.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">[1] S.A.F. is the acronym for Speleo-Alpino-Fluviale, i.e. cave-alpine-fluvial: rescuers able to climb rock walls, descend into pits and caves, or tackle the currents of rivers. The same techniques are also used to reach steeples, roofs and top floors of skyscrapers where the normal ladders cannot be used. After earthquakes, they are employed to remove dangerous debris (source <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vigili_del_Fuoco" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>).</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Col <b>sisma del 20 maggio</b> scorso, il Palazzo Ducale era stato chiuso e successivamente parzialmente riaperto al pubblico, ma <b>con le ultime tre scosse del 29 maggio, la lanterna del campanile della basilica palatina di Santa Barbara in Palazzo Ducale è crollata.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>La chiesa di Santa Barbara,</b> tempio perfetto, era stata commissionata dai duchi Guglielmo Gonzaga ed Eleonora d’Asburgo e quindi edificata – tra il 1562 ed il 1572 – dall’architetto Giovanni Battista Bertani.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Il campanile di Santa Barbara </b>di era <b>uno dei tratti distintivi del magico profilo di Mantova</b>, che si poteva ammirare dal Lago Inferiore, provenendo da Nord-Est.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">La scossa delle 12:55 del 29 maggio è stata quella che ha fatto crollare definitivamente la lanterna del campanile, che si era già inclinata con quella delle 9:00.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Parecchi problemi anche nelle stanze del palazzo, alcune delle quali erano state da poco riaperte dopo il sisma del 20 maggio. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Se la <b>Camera degli Sposi di Andrea Mantegna</b> non dovrebbe aver subito danni, almeno secondo il conservatore del Palazzo, in altre zone della Reggia le cose sono andate decisamente peggio.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In particolare è stata <b>gravemente danneggiata la Sala di Manto,</b> dove si sono aperte nuove crepe. Inoltre sulla torre centrale del castello di San Giorgio è comparsa una vistosa fessurazione, mentre il tetto dell’esedra di piazza Castello si è imbarcato pericolosamente.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Per quanto riguarda <b>Palazzo Te,</b> a subire i danneggiamenti più gravi è stata la parte nord della villa giuliesca: <b>crepe, caduta di intonaci e di colore dagli affreschi, peggioramento di fessurazioni già esistenti</b> si sono verificati nella loggia delle Muse e nella sala di Amore e Psiche. La celebre Sala dei Giganti non ha subito danni all’interno, mentre una vistosa crepa si è aperta sul muro esterno. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Tutto il centro storico è incerottato e spuntano transenne un po’ dappertutto. <b>La scossa delle 13 ha fatto crollare un camino dal Palazzo del Podestà, mentre una frattura si è aperta internamente ed esternamente nella torre della Casa del Mercante</b>, un edificio duecentesco che dà sulla centralissima piazza Mantegna, quasi di f</span><span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">ronte alla Basilica di Sant’Andrea.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Tazio Nuvolari, bekannt als „<b>Mantovano volante</b>“ oder <b>„<i>Fliegender Mantuaner</i>“</b> (aber auch <i><b>Der Teufel</b></i>, für die Deutsche Presse), war bereits zu Lebzeiten <b>eine Legende</b> und gilt noch heute als einer der besten Rennfahrer der Geschichte. Abseits der Strecke galt er als freundlicher und beliebter Zeitgenosse, kaum saß er jedoch am Steuer, kam seine Kämpfernatur und sein unbändiger Wille zum Sieg zum Vorschein. Er nahm große Risiken auf sich, verletzte sich oft bei Unfällen und erreichte immer wieder mit unterlegenem Material das scheinbar Unmögliche.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Ferdinand Porsche</b> nannte ihn den <b><i>„größten Fahrer der Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft“</i></b>.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Una mostra raffinata, che rivela la figura di <b>VINCENZO I GONZAGA (1562-1612)</b>, splendido principe delle corti d’Europa, che portò il ducato di Mantova a diventare un importante centro d’arte e la cui corte si misurava per sfarzo con quelle dei grandi regni europei e italiani. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Vincenzo, il sovrano che ebbe per sé poeti come <b>Torquato Tasso</b>, musici quali <b>Claudio Monteverdi</b> e pittori della grandezza di<b> Rubens.</b> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I quadri e le opere esposti in mostra evocano la magnificenza della corte. Ma anche <b>i vincoli di sangue</b> che legarono Vincenzo, che aveva sposato in seconde nozze <b>Eleonora de’ Medici</b>, alla casa d’Austria (<b>la mamma</b> era l’<b>arciduchessa d’Austria Eleonora d’Asburgo</b> ed i <b>nonni materni</b> erano l’<b>imperatore</b> <b>Ferdinando I</b> ed <b>Anna Jagellone</b>, regina d’Ungheria e Boemia) ed alla Francia, poiché re <b>Enrico IV di Borbone</b> era <b>suo cognato</b>, agli Este ed ai Savoia, senza dimenticare che <b>la figlia Eleonora diventò imperatrice, sposando Ferdinando II</b> <b>d’Asburgo</b>. Il Vincenzo del fasto e del potere appunto. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Il duca che istituì un ordine cavalleresco tra i principali d’Europa, l’Ordine Militare del Sangue di Gesù Cristo, commissionò architetture imponenti e animò la reggia con spettacoli sontuosi. Un libertino, come si diceva, ma anche un uomo di fede, fortemente legato al cugino, il beato (e successivamente santo) Luigi Gonzaga. </span></div>

Vincenzo married <b>Eleonora de' Medici,</b> the dynasty ruling over Florence and in this way the <b>king of France, Henry IV of the House of Bourbon</b>, was<b> his brother-in-law </b>(he married Eleonor’s sister Maria de’ Medici).

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Prof. <a href="http://atguelph.uoguelph.ca/2010/11/facebook-in-the-1500s/" target="_blank">Sally Hickson</a>, art historian at the <a href="http://www.uoguelph.ca/" target="_blank">University of Guelph</a> </b>(Ontario, Canada) says social networking is older than we think. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Think of it as the Facebook of Renaissance Italy. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Without the Internet, <b>social networking was tougher in the 1500s, but</b> <b>VINCENZO I. GONZAGA, DUKE OF MANTUA from 1587 to 1613, found a way. He called it his <i>GALLERY OF BEAUTY</i> .</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It was <b><i>a collection of more than 30 painted portraits of women from across Europe</i>.</b> He even hired his own artists and commissioned them to travel to other countries to paint the portraits of those he wanted to include. Other aristocrats followed suit and created their own galleries. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Art history professor Sally Hickson says these galleries show that social networking is not as new as we might imagine. It seems to have been popular among the wealthy in Renaissance Italy, although in a rather different form. As she explains: <i><b>“Women wanted to be included in these galleries, and for both the women and the gallery owners, it was about who had the most friends and was the most popular. Yes, just like Facebook” .</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Women in the gallery were not included only because of physical beauty, although Hickson points out that beauty, especially female beauty, was very important during this time period. Many were chosen because they were married or related to powerful men of the time, she speculates. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i><b>“Women also exchanged portraits with each other”</b>,</i> she adds. In a time when travel was slow and often difficult, these paintings and the letters they mailed helped them keep in touch and expand their social networks. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As an art historian, Hickson studies not only the works of art created during this time period, but also the ways in which art was used in people’s daily lives. Often, art adds beauty and style to people’s homes, but these collections of individual portraits suggest another way that art helped to create connections between people. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>VINCENZO GONZAGA</b>, she points out, was networking with important people across Europe by sending the artists out to paint portraits. “It would be very flattering to be asked to sit for a portrait to be included in his gallery of beauty.” (Certainly it’s several notches above being asked to be someone’s Facebook friend, but the idea is the same). There might also be a chilling effect on the status of someone who was not invited to be included in the collection. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>VINCENZO GONZAGA</b>, of course, had additional motivation: he could elevate his own social status by inviting people in to see the gallery and be impressed by all the elegant and well-connected women he knew. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">While studying these portrait collections, Hickson learned about a manuscript owned by Francis I of France, who ruled several decades before Vincenzo Gonzaga’s time. <b>The <i>manuscript consisted of small painted portraits of women from the Italian city of Milan</i> which had been recently taken over by France.</b> Each portrait was hidden by a little flap of paper with a poem about the woman that was written on the outside. The portrait subjects were classified in the manuscript as widows, wives and maidens. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hickson believes this may have been used in some kind of parlour game, where people might read the poem and guess who the woman was before lifting up the flap. <i><b>“They were all women from important families in Milan”</b></i>, she adds. <i>“I think there may have been an element of control and possession there as well”.</i> Women had an important role in the functioning of the court and the community, and would have been involved in the games and perhaps discussion about the women. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i><b>Portable portrait galleries existed as well</b></i>, even though this was long before the day of the iPhone. Hickson found that the Italian soldiers going to war in France brought with them picture books with portraits of the most beautiful and desirable French prostitutes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hickson discovered these Renaissance approaches to social networking while studying <b>ISABELLA D'ESTE, who was Vincenzo Gonzaga’s grandmother and a leading figure in the Italian Renaissance</b> in her own right. Hickson says Isabella was a prolific letter-writer who communicated with women in other parts of Europe, sharing her recipes for perfumes and foods. <b>Isabella was also a trend-setter</b>. She designed a headdress that became a popular style; the artist Titian painted a portrait of her wearing it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hickson’s research has centred on the small Italian town of Mantua, but she also visits regularly the cities of Venice, Florence and Milan ─ to embrace the culture, food and, of course, the work produced by some of the world’s most influential artists over centuries of time. </span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Gli
Arabi importarono in Sicilia il <b>riso</b>
attorno all’ XI sec., ma solo dopo 200 anni si ha notizia che la sua
coltivazione, per merito degli Aragonesi, si era sviluppata nella </i>Campania
felix<i>.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>In
Lombardia, nel Ducato di Milano, nel 1386, il riso era ancora considerato un
medicinale per stomaci deboli. Ma alla fine del XVI sec., per l’impulso degli
Sforza e di Venezia, la coltivazione del riso si diffonde nel Vercellese, nel Pavese, nel Veronese, nel Ferrarese
e <b>nel Mantovano</b>, tra Adige, <b>Mincio</b> e <b>Po</b>. </i></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Il </i>Grande Fiume<i> è ancora oggi

<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Di qua c’è il riso, al di là del
fiume la pasta … e il riso – come lo consideriamo noi Italiani, cioè un
piatto e non un contorno – è sempre
stato un alimento insostituibile nelle <b>campagne
mantovane</b> e del Basso Mincio. </i></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Data l’esistenza di varie risaie che
comportavano un pesante, ingrato e manuale lavoro di pulitura per migliaia di
donne (le <b>mondine</b>), il riso ha
occupato, fino a qualche tempo fa, un posto importante nel granaio di ogni
famiglia contadina. Dal granaio alla tavola il passo è obbligatorio </i>… il

<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Dopo una

un panno di cotone spesso (un asciughino per piatti od un tovagliolo
ripiegati un paio di volte sono perfetti) fra la pentola ed il coperchio.
Così facendo, il calore non si disperde ed il vapore in eccesso viene

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Per storia e
tradizione è <b>la torta più mantovana</b>.
La <b><i>Torta
Paradiso</i></b>, il <b><i>Dolce Soave</i></b> venne confezionato per
la prima volta nei forni del <b>Palazzo del
Paradiso</b> (da qui il nome), abitato da <b>Isabella
d’Este</b>, che sedicenne andò in sposa a Francesco II Gonzaga nel 1490,
divenendo per prìncipi e popolo la “Marchesa di Mantova”. Isabella amava
mangiare spesso questa torta, così quando si recava a Roma da Papa Leone X,
oppure a Firenze alla corte dei Medici, all’uso di quei tempi, portava con sé
una piccola corte di dame di compagnia ed anche uno scalco personale. Sarà
questo, che insegnerà ai cuochi medicei e papali la ricetta del dolce preferito
dalla marchesana, tanto che ancor oggi la Torta Paradiso è nota a Roma e a
Firenze come la “torta mantovana”. La fecola di patate è un ingrediente
aggiunto nel secolo scorso, per dare alla torta una maggiore leggerezza e
fragranza.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Unire la
farina bianca insieme alla fecola e mescolare. Lavorare a parte il burro con lo
zucchero, sinché non sarà ben montato e spumoso. Unire uno alla volta i 5 rossi
d’uovo. A parte montare a neve le 4 chiare e aggiungerle senza farle smontare,
poco alla volta, al composto. Per ultimo aggiungere la farina e la fecola già
mescolate ed infine la scorza di limone grattata. Amalgamare con molta cura.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Accomodare
l’impasto in una teglia imburrata ed infarinata, infornare a 180° per 40 minuti.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Capovolgere
ancora calda e servire sul piatto di portata a torta, spolverata con abbondante
zucchero a velo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Una variante
consiste, anziché spolverare la torta con lo zucchero, di ricoprirla con un
trito di mandorle e burro, secondo un’antica usanza dei <b>Longobardi</b>, che insediatesi nel mantovano nell’VIII secolo, fecero
conoscere ai Mantovani l’uso in cucina delle mandorle dolci ed amare.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The origins of Mantua belong to <b>legend</b>: the
infernal Etruscan <b>deity </b><b>Mantus</b> founded the city. But also <b>Ocnus,</b> Manto’s son,
could have done this. Dante “confirms” (Divine Comedy, Hell, XX, 52-93) that
<b>Manto</b>, the daughter of the blind prophet Tiresias, fleeing from Thebes after his
father’s death, arrived in this land “in the middle of the marsh” and founded

passing the arch of the Voltone di San Pietro, you reach <b>Piazza Broletto</b>, created
around 1190, when the town expanded beyond its original nucleus, during the
period of the free communes. There are here the symbols for the citizens’ power:
the <b>Palazzo del Podestà or Palazzo del Broletto </b>(Podestà was the Medieval
mayor) built in 1227, the <b>Palazzo del Massaro</b> (the residence of the
administrator of the property of the Commune), the big arch of the <b>Arengario </b>built around 1300 to link the Palazzo del Podestà to the Palazzo del Massaro
and the so called “Università dei mercanti”, a 15<sup>th</sup> century building
that was the seat of the Mantuas Merchants Association (that the meaning of university).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

reaches <b>Piazza Erbe</b> or the “Greens Square” closed by buildings of different periods.
The rear of the Palazzo del Podestà, the <b>Palazzo della Ragione</b> (1250) or the Medieval
Law Court with the <b>Clock Tower</b> (1472),

opera, consegnata da <b>Pieter Paul Rubens</b>
alla Chiesa della Trinità nel <b>1605</b>,
<b>rimane a Mantova solo la scena centrale,</b> poiché i due dipinti posti ai lati

la <b>Trasfigurazione di Cristo</b> <b>si trova

Nel 1801 anche la scena centrale della Trinità

la comunità mantovana riuscì a salvarla e ad evitare il trasporto a Milano.

schließlich, das Bild zu retten und auch den Transport nach Mailand zu
verhinder, wo es im neu entstandenen Museum

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Palazzo Te </b>è una grande <b>villa suburbana
costruita, tra il 1525 ed il 1535</b>, da <b>Giulio
Romano</b> (Roma, 1492/99- Mantova,1546) per <b>Federico II Gonzaga</b> (1500-1540), il quinto marchese di Mantova, quindi
primo duca.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">È stato <b>costruito su un’isola
del Lago Paiolo</b> (il lago che chiudeva Mantova a sud) chiamata sin dall’antichità
Teieto (quindi abbreviato in Te), dove i Gonzaga avevano alcune
stalle per i loro preziosissimi purosangue. Il termine Teieto potrebbe derivare
da tiglieto, località di tigli,
oppure essere collegato alla parola <i>tegia</i>
(dal latino <i>attegia</i>) che significa
capanna.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Si tratta di un edificio a
pianta quadrata, una <b>villa rustica</b> a tutti gli effetti, con un cortile centrale
ed un ampio giardino sul retro, chiuso da un’esedra.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">La funzione dell’edificio è espressa
a chiare lettere in un’iscrizione che si trova nella sala di Psiche: è <b>un
palazzo per il tempo libero e lo svago, per l’onesto ozio del principe</b>, che
ritempra le forze nella quiete.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Palazzo Te viene quindi utilizzato
spesso dalla famiglia Gonzaga, come luogo per accogliere ed onorare gli ospiti
illustri, come dimostrano le visite dell’imperatore Carlo V d’Asburgo, che
soggiorna al Te in due occasioni, nel 1530 e nel 1532, ed Enrico III re di Francia,
che vi è ricevuto nel 1574. <a href="mailto:simona.guidadimantova@gmail.com" target="_blank">Volete saperne di più?</a><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Palazzo Te</b> is a large suburban villa by <b>Giulio Romano</b> (Rom, 1492/99 - Mantua, 1546) built, between 1525 and 1535, for <b>Federico II Gonzag</b>a (1500-1540) the 5th marquis of Mantua and then 1st duke.</span></div>
