  • AUGUSTA, ITALIA - 14 FEBBRAIO 2014:  Il Castello Svevo di Augusta (Siracusa), voluta dall'imperatore Federico II e probabilmente risalente al 1232.<br />
<br />
La costruzione del castello si inquadrava in un progetto che mirava a rendere il territorio controllato militarmente. Il Castello Svevo di Augusta unendosi alle fortezze di Catania e Siracusa estendevano il dominio e un controllo capillare su un più vasto territorio.

  • NAPLES, ITALY - 21 OCTOBER 2020: Light is seen here diffracted inside the the Apple Developer Academy in Naples, Italy, on October 21st 2020.<br />
<br />
In the past few years Naples been fostering a growing community of tech start-ups and app creators. What has really changed the game for Naples' tech scene is Apple's recent arrival in the city. In 2015, Apple opened its Developer Acamdy in Naples, in conjunction with University of Naples Federico II, where students spend a year training to be developers, coders, app creators and start-up entrepreneurs. <br />
<br />
And where Apple goes, others follow. In 2018, networking giant Cisco opened its own networking academy in Naples.<br />
<br />
The hope is it will change not just Naples' reputation, but also its fortunes and so reverse a brain drain that's seen many of the city's young graduates leave to find jobs in the more prosperous north of Italy, or even abroad. Naples, and its region, Campania, is part of the Mezzogiorno (southern Italy and Sicily) which lags behind the rest of the country in terms of economic growth. Here the youth jobless rate was above 50% in 2019, among the highest unemployment rate in Europe.

In 2015, Apple opened its Developer Acamdy in Naples, in conjunction with University of Naples Federico II, where students spend a year training to be developers, coders, app creators and start-up entrepreneurs. <br />
<br />
And where Apple goes, others follow. In 2018, networking giant Cisco opened its own networking academy in Naples.<br />
<br />
The hope is it will change not just Naples' reputation, but also its fortunes and so reverse a brain drain that's seen many of the city's young graduates leave to find jobs in the more prosperous north of Italy, or even abroad. Naples, and its region, Campania, is part of the Mezzogiorno (southern Italy and Sicily) which lags behind the rest of the country in terms of economic growth. Here the youth jobless rate was above 50% in 2019, among the highest unemployment rate in Europe.

  • FLORENCE, ITALY - 28 JULY 2018: (L-R) "Portrait of Mehmet II" (16th century) by Florence artist Cristofano dell'Altissimo, and "Medal with a portrait of Mehmet II" (1480) by Florence artist Beroldo di Giovanni, are seen here in the exhibition "Islamic Art and Florence from the Medici to the 20th century" at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, on July 28th 2018.<br />
<br />
"Islamic Art and Florence from the Medici to the 20th century”, curated by Giovanni Curatola and organised by the Uffizi  offers visitors the opportunity to discover the knowledge, exchange, dialogue and mutual influence that existed between the arts of East and West. The exhibition illustrates the extremely important role that Florence played in interfaith and intercultural exchange between the 15th and the early 20th centuries.<br />
<br />
According to Eike Schmidt, the Director of the Gallerie degli Uffizi, "the exhibition not only highlights the interest in Islamic culture that was strongly rooted in Medici collectintg and that continued well into the modern era, but it also testifies to the unprejudiced aesthetic fascination with the Orient that has always permeated European art. At the same time, it draws our attention to the crucial importance of trade, but primarily of intellectual and human exchange, in the Mediterranean basin and beyond as a means of enrichment and of peace".

<br />
"Neither Nor: The challenge to the Labyrinth" is the title of the exhibition, curated by Milovan Farronato for the Italian Pavilion at the 58th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia in which three Italian artists are taking part, presenting completely new works along with ones from the past: Enrico David (Ancona, 1966), Chiara Fumai (Rome, 1978 – Bari, 2017) and Liliana Moro (Milan, 1961).  The subtitle of the project alludes to “La sfida al labirinto” (“The Challenge to the Labyrinth”) a seminal essay written by Italo Calvino in 1962 that has been the inspiration for Neither Nor. In this text the author proposes a cultural work open to all possible languages and that feels itself co-responsible in the construction of a world which, having lost its traditional points of reference, no longer asks to be merely represented. To visualize the intricate forms of contemporary reality, Calvino turns to the vivid metaphor of the labyrinth: an apparent maze of lines and tendencies that is in reality constructed on the basis of strict rules. <br />
<br />
The 58th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, titled "May You Live In Interesting Times”,is curated by Ralph Rugoff.  The Exhibition is is divided into two separate presentations, Proposition A in the Arsenale and Proposition B in the Giardini’s Central Pavilion, comprising 79 artists from all over the world.  “May You Live In Interesting Times highlights artworks whose forms function in part to call atte

  • FLORENCE, ITALY - 26 OCTOBER 2018: Filippo Ricci,  creative director of the eponymous luxury company started by his father, Stefano Ricci, poses for a portrait by the Ermisino fabrics in the showroom of the Antico Setificio Fiorentino, an ancient silk mill he owns in central Florence, Italy, on October 26th 2018.<br />
<br />
The Ermisino is an icon fabric of the ancient silk factory, a special type of Renaissance shot taffeta made with threads of different colours, so as to have tones that are shimmering and fluid like a cascade of light. Woven in three classic weights (leggero, scempio and doppio), for centuries it was the distinctive mark of the most illustrious nobility.<br />
<br />
The Antico Setificio Fiorentino is a silk mill, located in central Florence within view of the old city walls in the San Frediano neighborhood, that produces the kind of fabrics destined for city palaces and country estates. The mill was bought in 2010 by Stefano Ricci from the Pucci, with an eye to using it to produce fabrics for the launch of a new home collection<br />
<br />
Lined up in rows are the dozen looms that take the slender threads, by now dyed emerald and ruby and sapphire, and weave them into the textiles that form a part of the fabric of Florentine life.<br />
<br />
Silk was made in the city as far back as the 1300s, a commodity to trade for precious materials. In more recent times, the fabric in the gowns in “Il Gattopardo” and “Death in Venice” came from the mill, as did much of Maris Callas’ wardrobe, robes for Popes, suits for Andre Bocelli, and Nelson Mandela’s silk shirts (when he wore one for his audience with Queen Elizabeth II she reportedly remarked, “that’s a beautiful shirt.”) The carmine red curtains at the Villa Medici and the Tribune of the Uffizi were made here. The Presidential Suite at the city’s Four Seasons Hotel is decked out in the mill’s output, as are the walls of the room of the Czars at the Kremlin, and more than 100 red velvet chairs emblazoned with the Kremlin’s

  • FLORENCE, ITALY - 26 OCTOBER 2018: Samples of silk fabrics are displayed here in the showroom of the Antico Setificio Fiorentino, an ancient silk mill in central Florence, Italy, on October 26th 2018.<br />
<br />
The showroom of the Antico Setificio Fiorentino displays  many of the 100 different kinds of fabric the mill can produce, with vignettes of them turned into pillows, sofas and curtains.<br />
<br />
Fabrics are priced accordingly, starting at about 200 euros a meter and going as high as 2000 euros a meter for lampasso, a special kind of damask so labor intensive to produce only 20 centimeters can be made a day. There are brocades, jacquards, damasks, shantung, satin, moire, rustic filaticcio and stiff, shimmering ermisino. The palette extends from pure “panna”, or cream, to delicate pastels and rich jewel tones, often shot with threads of gold or silver.<br />
<br />
The Antico Setificio Fiorentino is a silk mill, located in central Florence within view of the old city walls in the San Frediano neighborhood, that produces the kind of fabrics destined for city palaces and country estates. The mill was bought in 2010 by Stefano Ricci from the Pucci, with an eye to using it to produce fabrics for the launch of a new home collection<br />
<br />
Lined up in rows are the dozen looms that take the slender threads, by now dyed emerald and ruby and sapphire, and weave them into the textiles that form a part of the fabric of Florentine life.<br />
<br />
Silk was made in the city as far back as the 1300s, a commodity to trade for precious materials. In more recent times, the fabric in the gowns in “Il Gattopardo” and “Death in Venice” came from the mill, as did much of Maris Callas’ wardrobe, robes for Popes, suits for Andre Bocelli, and Nelson Mandela’s silk shirts (when he wore one for his audience with Queen Elizabeth II she reportedly remarked, “that’s a beautiful shirt.”) The carmine red curtains at the Villa Medici and the Tribune of the Uffizi were made here.

Back hundreds of years ago, in the Renaissance, most noble families had their own looms. But in 1786 the Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo of Tuscany took all the looms of the private aristocratic families and put them in one place. They ended up at the Antico Setificio Fiorentino: six of them from the 1700s, hand looms that produce a mere 40 centimeters of f

  • FLORENCE, ITALY - 26 OCTOBER 2018: A reproduction of Leonardo Da Vinci's original design sketch of the machine that creates warp threads and that is still used here at the Antico Setificio Fiorentino, an ancient silk mill in central Florence, Italy, on October 26th 2018.<br />
<br />
 Da Vinci’s design allowed the artisans to stand while they oversaw the creation of the warp threads, instead of hunching over as with previous methods. For hundreds of years, this invention by Da Vinci has been hard at work helping generations of Florence’s weavers create the sumptuous fabrics for which they are renown.<br />

  • FLORENCE, ITALY - 26 OCTOBER 2018: Filippo Ricci,  creative director of the eponymous luxury company started by his father, Stefano Ricci, poses for a portrait by the Ermisino fabrics in the showroom of the Antico Setificio Fiorentino, an ancient silk mill he owns in central Florence, Italy, on October 26th 2018.<br />
<br />
The Ermisino is an icon fabric of the ancient silk factory, a special type of Renaissance shot taffeta made with threads of different colours, so as to have tones that are shimmering and fluid like a cascade of light. Woven in three classic weights (leggero, scempio and doppio), for centuries it was the distinctive mark of the most illustrious nobility.<br />
