Learning Italian In Tuscany

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

Six reasons to study Italian in Tuscany.

Reason 1:

The best way to learn a language, one knows, is to go abroad. But if the apprehension is combined with relaxation and enjoyment, one can obtain a double result. You learn in a more efficient way because you are always in contact with native speakers and can put into practice your new knowledge right away. You can also enjoy yourself because you can get to know and appreciate the country in depth, just like a vacation.

Thousands of students travel abroad each year to learn Italian language. They realize that the most effective way to learn Italian language is to learn in the country the language is spoken and may be used not only in the classroom, but all day and in the street, shops, restaurants…

Reason 2:

Italy is a world leader in the culinary arts, interior design, fashion, graphic design, furniture design, etc. Those planning careers in such fields greatly benefit from knowing Italian and Italy.

Reason 3:

Living in Italy can be a fantastic cultural experience. Although it can be said that Italian cannot be considered as a vehicular language, it is just as true that it cannot be relegated to a language of the past. Are you an art and culture enthusiast? Italy, the country with the highest concentration of art, history, culture, nature, good food and wine in the world, is one of the most popular vacation countries in Europe.

Wherever you choose to study Italian in Italy you will find something unique: beautiful natural scenery, history, customs, delicious food, colourful festivals and warm people.

Reason 4:

The Italian welcome is warm everywhere, people are friendly and all seasons are good for a visit.

Reason 5:

If you’re serious about learning the Italian language, you should certainly learn it in Tuscany, the heart and birthplace of the Italian language. Florence was home to Dante, who Italians call il padre della lingua italiana, the father of the Italian language. Still today, the best Italian is spoken in Florence and Tuscany.

Basically, the modern Italian language is the Florentine dialect of the 1300s.

Reason 6:

Last but not least, Pisa is the main destination in Tuscany and in the central Italy (after Rome). Pisa Airport is served by 13 airlines operating 281 weekly flights to 22 national and international destinations (Summer 2004). Numerous companies offer charter flights to a number of European and non-European destinations. Fly to Pisa is really cheap and easy: the most important low cost flights companies reach Pisa and the airport is 5 minutes far from the centre of the town by bus, train or taxi.

Sensational Baby Boy Names And Baby Girl Names From The Daring 1900s

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

The 20th Century had just started and baby boy names and baby girl names reflected the hopes and dreams for a prosperous era. The romance of the 1890s lingered on and new parents felt upbeat about the future.

Baby names often take on the flavor of the times. In 1904, the musicals by George M. Cohan had everyone singing “I’m a Yankee Doodle Boy,” and “Give My Regards to Broadway.” “Mamzelle Champagne” was pulling in the crowds at the Madison Square Theater on Broadway. The mood was light-hearted, and may have been responsible for the musical-sounding names of the times such as Bertha, Rose, Marie, and Harry.

From 1900 to 1909 there was a mood of daring in the air and unrest around the world. There were stirrings of revolution in Russia and full-blown revolution in Panama. The Victorian era came to an end in 1901 with the death of Queen Victoria, one of the last great monarchs.

But good times were here as well. In 1903 the Wright brothers made their first successful flight. In 1904, construction started on the Panama Canal. And in 1905, Albert Einstein and renowned physicist and mathematician Mileva Maric, set the world on fire with the Theory of Relativity.

The 10 top baby boy names from 1900 to 1909, in order of popularity, were John, William, James, George, Robert, Joseph, Frank, Edward, and Thomas. They were strong names and all were names of saints.

John (Hebrew) means “honorable;” William (English) means “staunch protector;” James (English) means “steadfast;” George (Greek) means “loving the land;” Charles (German) means “well-loved;” Robert (English) means “brilliant;” Joseph (Hebrew) means “supported by God;” Frank (short for Francis) comes from the Latin and means “free spirit;” Edward (Anglo-Saxon) means “defender;” and Thomas (Aramaic) means “twin.”

As for the top baby girl names of 1900 to 1909, they, too, were powerful yet lyrical names that would have been found in most of the songs of the day. Just saying these beautiful names makes your heart sing. They are the names of saints, empresses, queens, painters and poets.

These names, in order of their popularity, are Mary, Helen, Margaret, Anna, Ruth, Elizabeth, Dorothy, Marie, Florence, and Mildred.

Mary (Hebrew) means “spiritual;” Helen (Greek) means “beautiful;” Margaret (Greek) means “treasured pearl;” Anna (Greek-Latin form of “Hannah”) means “loving;” Ruth (Hebrew) means “loyal friend;” Elizabeth (Hebrew) means “beauty;” Dorothy (Greek) means “gift of God;” Marie (French) means “spiritual;” Florence (Latin) means “flowering blossom;” and Mildred (Old English) means “gentle.”

The first decade of the 20th Century ended the way it started – on a high note. The era of the motor car was just around the corner. People had jobs and they had food on the table. The future looked bright.

The wonderful baby boy names continued into the next decade unchanged. The musical baby girl names even added a few new names in the 1910s.

Vacation to Italy and Get a Major Dose of History

Monday, August 16th, 2010

Known for its food, wine, people, culture, music, countryside and even the mafia – Italy happens to be one of the most sought after holiday destinations in the world.

Italy is where culture, history and traditions blend beautifully with modernity and fashion. What is interesting about Italy is that you will never find a single Italian flag, but they are still very particular about their culture and traditions – and of course soccer.

Whether your vacationing to Florence, Rome, Naples, Milan, or Venice your stay will be well worth the flight. Italy boasts several 5 star resort hotels that accommodate to every need you could imagine.

Italians are considered to be one of the best-looking people in the world. They are very proud of their past, their culture and for them it is all about family. Italians are very sociable.

They are friendly and will talk to anyone, what’s most appealing about them is their sense of good humor and wit. In Italy you will hear the various kinds of dialects and accents of Italian, which sound so melodious to the ear.

Italians have an ongoing love affair with food and fashion. The Italian food is famous worldwide and is a gastronomical to all the senses. Fashion is a very important part of the Italian culture, after all Milan is the fashion capital of the world, where haute couture is the word most heard.

Northern Italy is more educated, hectic and fast paced, where as South of Italy is rural and laidback. People in Italy love spending money on their expensive attire, be it clothes, watches, shoes, jewelry or their fast cars.

If you want to be understood in Italy, you will have to rely on your English-Italian dictionary or your gesturing skills, because English is not spoken or understood by many people there.

People in Italy have a gastronomical affair with food. Eating is a passion and an integral part of the culture in Italy. So when you are in Italy, expect to add a few pounds to your frame.

Italian food finds it roots back to different regions and is influenced by various factors. If you are looking for healthy and cheaper food, then you must venture into South Italy.

The world famous and supremely popular Pizza was born in Campania along with tubular pizza and the various tomato based pizza and pasta sauces. Even if you are one of those few people who do not like pizzas, you should try one.

The reason the Italian pizzas are popular is because of its simplicity and its fresh ingredients. Pizza margherita is the most popular pizza in Italy named after Queen Margherita.

If you are looking for food with Greek influence with figs, honey, aubergine and aromatic spices, then Calabria is the place to go. Sicily will give you mouthwatering, finger-licking desserts like cannoli, sweet cheese, chocolate and cassata pastries. And Italian ice-cream Gelato is oh so popular.

A typical Italian dinner would consist of an appetizer or an antipasto like bruschetta which is a type of herbed and spiced garlic bread; prosciutto which is cured ham and melon.

The primo piatto, which is the first main course, is usually a soup or pasta; the second piatto will have meat, chicken or fish with contorno, which is vegetable. The meal is then ended with dessert, fruits and coffee.

On Chesil Beach by Ian Mcewan

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

The fly cover of On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan describes the book as “a short novel of remarkable depth by a writer at the height of his powers”. On Chesil Beach was recently short-listed for the Man Booker Prize, but lost out to Anne Enright’s The Gathering. I have read both books and, for me at least, what is so amazing is the mere fact that two such utterly different concepts could have been considered for the same prize. It is reassuringly astounding that the “genre” of literary fiction can be home to every style, every emotion, every approach, every outcome, everything imaginable and much that is real.

Those who write book blurbs are often prone to hyperbole. The greatest, the best, the most, the biggest, the most superlative are terms of mundane commonplace. The term “best selling” is usually an empty platitude. “Real” often signifies “very”, but without the latter’s imagined meaning. So what can we make of “a short novel of remarkable depth by a writer at the height of his powers”? In the case of On Chesil Beach this blurb is an understatement, but it is essentially accurate and justified. If I were to write a blurb for this Ian McEwan novel, I would use a single word: masterpiece.

I will offer only the merest summary of the plot to provide context, because the book effectively deals with just one event, a newlywed couple’s wedding night. What happens to them is the book’s crucial point, so to reveal it would render the reading less rewarding. Suffice it to say that Edward and Florence are newlyweds and they are in a Dorset hotel for their honeymoon. This is the early 1960s, an era when sexuality was not discussed or even approached in the manner of even half a decade later.

Edward and Florence are products of their age and of their upbringing. Ian McEwan tells us much of these aspects of their characters in asides and cameos throughout the narrative. When I reviewed the same writer’s Saturday, I described the book as time turned inside out. In that book, across the span of a single day, an entire family is presented through its past, its aspirations, its identities. On Chesil Beach accomplishes a similar feat across a smaller canvas, but in a much more concentrated form, replete with comment, detail, analysis and observation.

Florence is solidly middle class, Edward less so. She is a violinist from a musical family. He likes Chuck Berry. They are deeply in love and they marry, but they remain children of their age, and there is the rationale for the book, an examination of their private ideas on how to cope with adulthood, alongside an account of the practicalities.

On Chesil Beach has limited objectives, lives mainly in the events of a single evening, but, like Saturday, turn its time inside out, so we have beautifully detailed pictures of both of the nuptials’ families. Coping, or not, is what characterised the age. On Chesil Beach is a masterpiece, beautifully conceived and executed. Do read it.

Tuscany; A Destination With Art, Spas And Fine Wine

Friday, July 30th, 2010

Tuscany is a truly fascinating region of Italy that has been inhabited for centuries. It was inhabited by the Etruscans, Romans and was a centre of the Renaissance. Finding hotels in this region makes touring the province simple and as one of the largest repositories of art in the world, the chance to see some of the seminal artistic pieces in history is an opportunity not to be missed.

Tuscany is not however just about art, tourists will enjoy touring the outstanding scenery and those who love the finer things in life will be satisfied by the simple yet ultimately sumptuous local cuisine and wines; with a wealth of hotels you will not be stuck for somewhere to stay.

Naturally Florence is the first location that comes to mind when thinking of Tuscany. This is where the art works of Michelangelo and Da Vinci are kept as well as many others. There are paintings, all manner of sculptures and frescoes, not too mention the magnificent architecture. The city itself however is a bit of a honey trap for tourists, full of overpriced and busy hotels. A better solution is to find hotels in the surrounding area. This has two major benefits; firstly you will be away from the hustle and bustle of the city and secondly you will be able to wake up in the awe inspiring countryside of Tuscany.

The countryside of Tuscany is truly spectacular. With rolling hills dotted with farm hotels and small villages. The chance to tour the fields lined with poplar trees in the warm breeze should not be passed up. Whether a keen biker or walker, the countryside in Tuscany will fulfil your requirements, clearly you do not have to visit the cities to enjoy your holiday in Tuscany.

For those who like to pamper themselves there are many spa hotels in Tuscany that make ideal relaxation locations. With a wealth of mineral and spa waters in this region of Italy, healthcare has become an increasingly large part of the Tuscan tourism industry. Some of these spa hotels and resorts are world renowned and have built up reputations over the last century. The thermal waters and their benefits were realised by the Romans and there is no reason for you not realise them either. If visiting the cities, a spa bath at the end of the day is the perfect way to relax and rejuvenate yourself for the next day’s sightseeing.

Of the cities there is obviously Florence but of equal worth is Pisa. More than just the location of the famous leaning tower, it has wondrous architecture and fine hotels that make a brilliant romantic excursion. Another city of note is Siena; this medieval city has many exquisite examples of houses and towers while as with much of Tuscany, art plays a major part in the attractions located within the city. For an understanding of the Etruscan culture Volterra should be visited; with a fabulous selection of Etruscan cinerary urns and other sarcophagi, the views of this ancient people are displayed in terms of life, art and death.

Tuscany truly is place to visit for all seasons and has a wealth of attractions that will give all visitors something worthwhile to gain from their trip. With many brilliant hotels in the region ranging from large modern city hotels to medieval town houses and fine country villas; no matter what type of trip you are planning Tuscany will satisfy your needs. So think about sitting on a warm Tuscan evening enjoying the famous meat dishes with a glass of Chianti in your hand; with flights as cheap as they are presently, the dream could become a reality easier than you think.

The Wonders Of Italian Architecture

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

Italy is a magical country to visit and spend time; every region has something new to offer whether it is its food, the people, the history or its architecture.

To many people the architecture of a country is it’s main attraction and this could easily be said about Italy with it’s millennia old stones, sumptuous remains of mysterious Etruscan kings, witnesses to ancient pagan rites, memorials to a history whose origins is lost in the mists of time. Ancient temples that have stood for thousands of years and have amazed all those who run a hand over their immortal columns, such as the temples of Agrigento and Selinunte. Entire cities that remain like some marvellous stage set to tell us about life as it was in the distant past.

A life cut short, in ancient days, by the dramatic whim of a volcano, such as Pompeii and Herculaneum, or by the implacable advance of malaria, as in Ostia Antica and Paestum. Walls and buildings that have been witness to a boundless power, that of ancient Rome and its countless conquests. Places still capable of moving us deeply owing to the ingenuity of their construction and the peerless historical heritage that they embody.

Italian squares or piazzas that seem to be picture perfect stage sets all complete with outdoor cafes to enable you to sit and watch the world un-fold in front of you. Buildings that were created to enchant and impress visiting dignities from an age gone by with luscious facades and interiors that house unimaginable riches and art treasures now have the same effect on those tourists visiting Italy.

Towers constructed to bear witness to power that now regale unforgettable panoramas to those bold enough to climb to the top. Streets resembling open-air museums. Bridges that create seem-less bonds between the banks of rivers such as the Rialto in Venice or Ponte Vecchio in Florence.

Walls originally designed to defend a city have later been turned into wonderfully imposing rings that have been giving communities a sense of security for centuries. Ample flights of steps from which to savour the spectacle of a city’s life. The taste for beauty is all pervasive, from the tiny village, to the old town, to cities great and small. Beauty touches every nook, every vista, everything. The ancient Italians left a world of elegant architecture and monuments behind for future generations to stare in amazement at.

Italy has a wealth of religious architecture, towers and churches launched towards the sky. Striking spires, dainty cupolas, artistic facades, and bell towers jutting up towards the blue sky and towards an Italian heaven, mysterious naves that guard artistic masterpieces ancient and modern.

Visit any Italian city, town or village and you will see churches everywhere, guardians of and witnesses to a faith thousands of years old and then tiny chapels on the mountain tops, solitary shrines on street corners, statues and frescoes for the protection of the home. Small signs of popular devotion that stand as corollaries to the magnificence of the cathedrals. Italy loves religious architecture.

A series of masterpieces that tell the entire story of western architecture: from the elegant Romanesque forms of Santa Maria all’ Aquila to the fanciful Gothic spires of the beautiful Cathedral in Milan, from the perfect example of Renaissance architecture in Florence Cathedral to the baroque wonder of Lecce Cathedral.

Each one with its trusty bell-tower at its side to announce its presence; including the most famous one in the world: the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Understanding the meaning of creativity

Monday, July 5th, 2010

Creativity is a gift that not everybody have or exploit; too frequently, we bury our creativity under the burden of rules, limited tasks, or the necessity to work hard only to eat a bit of bread every day.

It is the gift of making original and great things starting from simple and humble items. With simple bricks or stones you can build the squalid houses of certain industrial outskirts, but also the wonderful dome of Florence Dome, as Brunelleschi did in the XIV century making something never attempted before or the astonishing Gothic cathedral of Chartres, a miracle of spirituality towards the sky. The last are creativity; the skill of finding new solutions, useful not only for art, but also in science, because the idea or intuition that allows a scientific discovery is creative.

We are able to create images of what doesn’t exist in the reality or describe what already exists in a new, surprising way, enhancing certain particular and deep aspects.

To be creative, it’s not possible to follow the rules of an art academy or a codified market style stating that Country or Disco-Music is made in a certain way, otherwise it’s not good and all the reviewers pan it.

This is the death of creativity and art that, instead, must always fly free like birds in the sky, not like trains along a rail.

Creativity is also dangerous because it’s a challenge to the unknown and mistakes are always possible; what happened even to Leonardo da Vinci when he tried to use a new painting technique on walls, the so-called “encausto”, using colours with heat, to paint the “Anghiari Battle” in the Signoria Palace in Florence, but his attempt failed miserably with the dissolution of dyes down along the wall before the end of the work.

So, the creativity and its masterpieces also pass through learning from unhappy experiences, changes of mind or direction, or even starting again from zero. They’re often pain and suffering, a fight against the artist’s own limits; in most of . cases, not a linear and sure path.

Just this makes creativity more fascinating.

Giotto : The Legend of a Timeless Master

(b.1267, Vespignano, d. 1337, Firenze)

If we were to survey a random order or people and them one question, Have you heard of the artist Giotto?’. Most would have to say yes’. This Florentine artist created more than paintings, sculpture and architecture. Giotto was the founder of the Italian school of painting and over his life he created a way of feeling about art, looking at art and an era and style that lasts today. Giotto was recognized as the first genius of art in the Italian Renaissance. He lived in a very artistic, religious, and intellectual enviroment and during a time of great change. “Giotto lived and worked at a time when people’s minds and talents were first being freed from the shackles of medieval restraint” (Pioch par1).


The artist’s full name was Ambrogio Bondone, detto. Little is known about his early years except that he was born about 1266 in the village of Vespignano, near Florence, which was to be the center of the new Renaissance culture. The story is told that his father was a small landed farmer. The discovery of Giotto’s talents is credited to Cimabue, a well-known Florentine painter. Cimabue allegedly saw the 12-year-old boy sketching one of his father’s sheep on a flat rock and was so impressed with his talent that he persuaded the father to let Giotto become his pupil. Another story tells that Giotto, while apprenticed to a wool merchant in Florence, frequented Cimabue’s studio so much that he was finally allowed to study painting. The stories concerning Giotto as a shepherd are difficult for most scholars to believe considering what we do know of his life. He was most likely the son of a peasant. As a matter of fact nothing was known of Giotto until he was thirty years old. This unfortunate gap in his personal history robs us of a story, which would be of intense interest as showing the growth of his genius, and reduces us to the merest conjectures.

Giotto was short and homely, and he was a great wit and practical joker. One famous story of Giotto’s talent and wit is that one day during his apprenticeship with Giovanni Cimabue, Giotto painted a fly on the nose of a figure in one of his mentor’s unfinished paintings. Cimabue later returned to work and repeatedly tried to brush it away several times, before realizing that he had fallen victim to one of his mischievous student’s practical jokes. He was married and left six children at his death. Unlike many of his fellow artists,

Donatello’s Fountain

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi, universally known as “Donatello”, was born in Florence around 1385 and was laid to rest there in 1465. The powerful nature of his art made him the greatest sculptor of the early Renaissance

A fountain by Donatello, carved of granite and decorated with ornaments of marble, adorned the garden of the Medici Palace in Florence, Italy. As the most elaborate and monumental example of Florentine fountain sculpture from the entire century, this work merits special mention. The lost basin was almost certainly the one crowned by Donatello’s bronze group of Judith and Holofernes before it was seized by the state in 1495 and transferred to the center of the Palazzo Vecchio. Four openings at the corners of the cushion on which the body of Holofernes rests prove that this group was designed for the decoration of a fountain.

Although Donatello chose a Biblical subject, he made use of a classical fountain motif. The water spurted from the open¬ings in the corners of the cushion below the drunken Holofernes, as from Hellenistic figures of tipsy satyrs on wineskins. The theme of intoxication was continued in a bronze relief of the triangular pedestal in three Bacchic scenes representing the vintage, a wine themed fountain spout, and a drunken revel — all enacted by the inevitable putti. A potential water spout ap¬pears in the center of each side of the pedestal, as in the Gorgon’s head on the great crater in the Bacchanal, but these “mouths,” obviously designed for jets of water, were never pierced.

Conscious of the need of 360-degree treatment in a freestanding group, Donatello designed Judith and Holofernes as a pyramid which presents three distinct profiles, each corresponding to a side of the pedestal below. The triangular plan of this pedestal undoubtedly repeats the broader tri¬angle of the base of the lost cylix. The granite of which that basin was carved recurs in the balusters that frame the relief.

Adding wall fountains or outdoor garden fountains to your landscaping or garden project can be a great way to enhance your outdoor living space, even if it does not carry the impact of a Donatello piece. Historical fountains (such as those by Donatello) and water features provide inspiration for many current designers and manufacturers, so adding one of these fountains is a great way to build a connection from your home to the past. Beyond the design beauty and characteristics of garden fountains, they also add water and moisture to the surrounding environment, which can attract wildlife such as birds, and balance your local ecosystem. For instance, birds that are attracted by a fountain or birdbath can be the best defense against flying insects that bother both humans and plants.

The group of Judith and Holofernes was probably constructed about 1455, after the artist’s return from Padua. The relaxed head of the Holofernes is similar to that of the Christ in his Crucifix in Saint Antonio. The compli¬cated drapery of Judith and the intensity and confusion of the bas-reliefs are also in his later vein. Moreover, the fountain was almost cer¬tainly designed for the Medici Palace, which was not finished until the year 1444, after his departure for Padua.

While you won’t be adding a Donatello fountain to your garden, in a practical sense, most water fountains used in landscaping are self-contained, which means an electric fountain pump moves the water from a lower basin, up the back of the fountain, and then allows the water to spill down the facing of the waterfall. This makes them practical for the average homeowner. Nearly all these types of fountains rely on a household 110v electrical outlet nearby. Be sure the fountain pump is U.L. listed, and connected to a Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI) outlet.

Few works of art have suffered as much as the fountains of Donatello when re¬moved from their original setting. The broad base supplied by the cylix undoubtedly tended to stabilize the statue, now perched precariously upon a slender column which certainly has no connection with the original fountain.
