Saving a World Treasure: Protecting Florence from Flooding

By: Galloway, Gerald,Seminara, Giovanni,Blöschl, Günter,Garcia, Marcelo,Montanari, Alberto,Solari, Luca

The Committee Firenze 2016, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the tragic 1966 flood, invited six engineers and scientists to form an International Technical Scientific Committee (ITSC) to assess the current status of flood protection for the city of Florence and identify steps to reduce the risk of flooding facing the city. In this final Report, ITSC concludes that Florence remains at risk to significant flooding and this risk grows each day. It is not a question of whether a flood of the magnitude of 1966 or greater will occur, but when. In fact, the level of protection that exists in Florence now is not on a level appropriate to the citizens and treasures that rest within the city. If, under current conditions, a 1966-like flood occurred, the consequences to human lives, treasures, properties and community infrastructure could be much more catastrophic than they were in 1966.

Giovanni Umicini. My New York

100 Polacolor photos / 1985

By: Giovanni Umicini

Un volume di grande formato, di 124 pagine con copertina cartonata, che porta alla luce il diario fotografico del maestro padovano della Street photography nella New York del 1985, la cui straordinarietà sta anche – ma non solo – nella scelta del medium: la Polaroid. “Scelta estrema e difficile – spiega Paolo Coltro nel saggio introduttivo – vuol dire che c’è un unico originale, non esiste negativo. Non è solo «o la va o la spacca» - con Umicini va praticamente sempre – significa che quell’immagine non avrà copie, che è un delicato tesoro come individualità, che dev’essere salvata pena la scomparsa definitiva.” 100 immagini scattate con i piedi per terra, frammenti di vita comune, che non inseguono un’ossessione estetica fine a se stessa, ma raccontano un luogo e un artista senza infingimenti, di un testimone attento e curioso che vuole mostrare e non dimostrare. *** This is a large format book with hard cover, which brings to light the photographic diary of the Paduan master of Street photography in the New York of 1985, whose extraordinary nature is also - but not only - in the unusual choice of the medium, the Polaroid . 100 images taken with their feet on the ground, fragments of common life, which do not pursue an aesthetic obsession for its own sake, but tell a place and an artist without pretense, of an attentive and curious witness who wants to show and not demonstrate.

The Decameron

The Decameron

By: Giovanni Boccaccio

In the summer of 1348, as the Black Death ravages their city, ten young Florentines take refuge in the countryside... Taken from the Greek, meaning 'ten-day event', Boccaccio's Decameron sees his characters amuse themselves by each telling a story a day, for the ten days of their confinement - a hundred stories of love and adventure, life and death, and surprising twists of fate. Less preoccupied with abstract concepts of morality or religion than earthly values, the tales range from the bawdy Peronella, hiding her lover in a tub, to Ser Cepperallo, who, despite his unholy effrontery, becomes a Saint. The result is a towering monument of European literature and a masterpiece of imaginative narrative that has inspired writers from Chaucer to Shakespeare . Translated with an introduction by G.H. McWilliam 'McWilliam's finest work, his translation of Boccaccio's Decameron remains one of the most successful and lauded books in the series' The Times

Culture and Art of Immigrants in the Atlantic in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries

By: Giovanni Polifroni Lobo

This book presents research on immigrants in South America and Caribbean Colombia and their relationship with the birth and development of the city of Barranquilla. As such, it explores elements that make evident customs and cultural beliefs that have influenced behavior in these regions. It discusses how these practices are reflected in the characteristics of housing, art, and cultural exhibitions, among others. Most societies in these areas have flourished in an uneven and often unequal manner. However, this book will serve to reconcile such cultural groups and create bonds of shared responsibility.
