Since the first Fellows arrived in 1961, The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies at Villa I Tatti has become the foremost research institution in the world for Italian Renaissance art, history, literature, and music. Harvard University inherited Villa I Tatti and its estate outside Florence from the distinguished art historian Bernard Berenson, together with his vast collecti

on of books, photographs, and works of art. Shortly before his death in 1959, Berenson wrote that his “first and foremost wish is to establish fellowships that will provide leisure and tranquility to sixteen or more promising students … Nothing opens mind and heart like free discussion of gifted maturing individuals, coming together with their own national traditions and differing attitudes and approaches.”

Today, the Center offers fifteen full-year post-doctoral Fellowships annually, as well as several Visiting Fellowships for shorter periods. It provides a tranquil setting where scholars from around the world can exchange ideas and carry out their research. In this way, I Tatti aims to increase our understanding of the Italian Renaissance. The Berenson Library, with holdings of nearly 175,000 volumes, and subscriptions to over 600 scholarly journals, seeks to provide comprehensive coverage of current scholarship on all aspects of the Italian Renaissance. The library includes an extensive and historically important photograph collection, with over 250,000 prints, an archive that documents the lives and work of Bernard and Mary Berenson, and the Morrill Music Library, considered one of the finest in the world for medieval and Renaissance music. The historic house contains a major collection of Renaissance and Asian art, installed much as it was in Berenson’s day. I Tatti also consists of a working farm and a historic garden. Since it was completed in 1915, the Italianate garden designed by Cecil Pinsent has provided inspiration for generations of designers and scholars.

Hai mai visto un deposito librario? 📚📚 Spesso le biblioteche conservano parte delle loro collezioni in zone chiuse ed accessibili solo al personale. Per guadagnare spazio, i depositi sono allestiti con scaffalature mobili.

I Tatti - The Harvard Univ. Center for Italian Renaissance Studies ha recentemente donato proprio una di queste scaffalature mobili alla biblioteca di Architettura.

In queste foto potete vedere il prima e il dopo 😀

“Scienza e Musica. Omaggio a Vincenzo Galilei”

Un’occasione per celebrare il compositore con filmati inediti tratti dalle sue opere e per presentare i prossimi progetti che il Museo Galileo realizzerà in collaborazione con I Tatti - The Harvard Univ. Center for Italian Renaissance Studies

I filmati, prodotti insieme al Conservatorio Luigi Cherubini Firenze, intendono riscoprire le opere del compositore e creare un originale dialogo tra la musica di Vincenzo, gli strumenti scientifici del figlio Galileo e, più in generale, gli strumenti della preziosa collezione medicea custoditi nel museo.

👉https://www.museogalileo.it/it/eventi-e-news/2181-scienza-e-musica-omaggio-a-vincenzo-galilei.html

Dal 25 novembre saranno disponibili in versione integrale sul sito web del Museo Galileo.

Ecco una piccola anticipazione 👇
Inspired from the last five days staying at stunning I Tatti - The Harvard Univ. Center for Italian Renaissance Studies, where I am Artist in Residence 2021, I started a new collaboration with the most wonderful lutist Thomas Dunford, where we developed a new programme together called ‚The Songwriter‘. It features works by Dowland, Bach, Schubert, French melodies and popular songs by Eric Clapton, Richard Rodgers, the Beatles and many more. What better place to rehearse such a programme and explore repertoire than in the Tuscan hills.

Nel Rinascimento la “signatura rerum” sosteneva che esiste una corrispondenza tra il mondo vegetale, animale ed umano al punto che le proprietà e le qualità di un mondo si riversano in un altro per somiglianza o “simpatia”. Pertanto le proprietà terapeutiche delle piante agiscono sull’uomo per colore, odori, forma, qualità, succhi ecc. Alcune conoscenze sono ancora valide.
Auguri di ottime vacanze!

“Sono stanco morto dell’Italia, ma ne sono irresistibilmente attratto… i Tatti e la Foce sono stati la scena delle mie esperienze più intense”.

A chi sono rivolte le parole che Cecil Ross Pinsent scrive nel 1945?

🔎 Scopri di più sull’architetto che nell’arco di trent’anni lavora così intensamente che si può dire abbia in parte ridisegnato due delle colline più famose di Firenze: Fiesole e Arcetri.

Bernhard Valvrojenski (1865-1959) noto come Bernard Berenson, nome che decise di utilizzare una volta giunto nel 1875 negli Stati Uniti, era di origine lituana ma scelse come dimora per la vita l'Italia.

Fin da ragazzino dimostrò predisposizione per le lingue e un forte interesse per la letteratura, passioni che lo spinsero, al termine degli studi universitari, a domandare una borsa di studio per poter diventare "critico e storico letterario". La borsa non gli fu assegnata, ma grazie al mecenatismo di alcuni suoi estimatori nel 1887 raggiunse l’Europa. Visitò l’Inghilterra, i Paesi Bassi, la Germania, la Svizzera, la Grecia e l’Italia, entrando in contatto con intellettuali, studiosi e collezionisti che gli fecero visitare numerose collezioni private. Queste amicizie spostarono definitivamente i suoi interessi verso le arti figurative, con particolare attenzione all’arte italiana e quando, nel 1890, conobbe Morelli era ormai deciso a dedicarsi completamente all'attività di connoisseur.

Nello studio della critica d’arte lo si incontra soprattutto per i volumi dedicati all’arte italiana e suddivisi per aree di interesse, noti come gli “elenchi”. Questi libri, in piccolo formato, riscossero un grande successo non solo per i saggi introduttivi ma anche per gli elenchi di opere attribuite ai vari artisti e che costituivano una sorta di vademecum per i viaggiatori. Nel caso di Cima è interessante leggere “The Venetian Painters of the Renaissance with an Index to their Works” edito nel 1894, le successive edizioni e aggiornamenti.

Nello studio del collezionismo compare come intermediario nella compravendita di opere d’arte italiana per il mercato americano, tra i collezionisti che si affidavano a lui compaiono Isabella Stewart-Gardner, John G. Johnson, Joseph Widener e Carl Hamilton.

Il successo raggiunto da Berenson fu possibile grazie al costante sostegno e aiuto avuto dalla moglie Mary Whitall Smith. La sua personale impronta nello studio dell’arte rinascimentale italiana prosegue tutt’oggi grazie alla Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies nata dalla donazione della biblioteca, da loro costituita presso la villa fiorentina I Tatti, alla prestigiosa università americana.
