Awareness campaign for the preservation of the artistic heritage of Rome
L’#EUR (in origine acronimo di Esposizione Universale di Roma) è un complesso urbanistico e architettonico corrispondente all'attuale Municipio IX di Roma. Voluto da #BenitoMussolini, inizialmente per celebrare i 20 anni della #marciasuRoma, nel 1935 su proposta di #GiuseppeBottai fu stabilito che fosse l’area destinata ad ospitare proprio l’esposizione #E42 sul modello delle precedenti esposizioni universali che si sarebbe dovuta tenere negli anni 1941-42 e che non si svolse mai a causa dello scoppio della #2aGuerraMondiale. Il progetto presentato nel 1938 sotto la direzione di #MarcelloPiacentini, secondo l'ideologia fascista è ispirato all’#urbanisticaRomana ma abbina ad un "neoclassicismo semplificato” alcuni elementi innovativi tipici del #RazionalismoItaliano. La struttura urbanistica prevede un impianto ad assi ortogonali ed edifici architettonici maestosi ed imponenti per lo più rivestiti di marmo bianco e travertino a ricordare i templi e gli edifici della Roma imperiale. Sull’asse principale, corrispondente all’attuale #ViaCristoforoColombo, sorge tra l’altro l’obelisco alto 45 metri dedicato a #GuglielmoMarconi, eretto nel 1959 nell'ambito degli abbellimenti della città in occasione dei #GiochiOlimpici del 1960 e rivestito da 92 pannelli in marmo di Carrara scolpiti da #ArturoDazzi. Gran parte del quartiere è oggi di proprietà di EUR S.p.A. (già #EnteEUR), partecipata dal #MinisterodellEconomiaedelleFinanze per il 90% e dal #ComunediRoma per il 10%.
The EUR (in origin acronym for Universal Exposition of Rome) is an urban and architectural ensemble corresponding to the current IX municipal area of Rome. Built by Benito Mussolini, initially to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the March on Rome, in 1935 at the suggestion of Minister Giuseppe Bottai it was determined that the area was destined to accommodate the E42 exhibition on the model of previous World Expos. An exhibition foreseen for 1941-42 that never took place because of the 2nd World war broke out. The project, presented in 1938 under the direction of Marcello Piacentini, according to the fascist ideology, is inspired by Roman urbanism and it combines a "simplified neoclassicism” with some innovative elements of Italian Rationalism. The urban structure develops a system with orthogonal axes and majestic and imposing architectural buildings mostly covered with white marble and travertine in a way to remember the temples and buildings of the imperial Rome. On the main axis, the current Via Cristoforo Colombo, among other things, it rises a 45 meters tall obelisk dedicated Guglielmo Marconi, erected in 1959 on the occasion of the Olympic Games of 1960 and covered with 92 panels of Carrara marble sculpted by Arturo Dazzi. Much of the area is now controlled by EUR SpA (formerly Ente EUR ), owned by the Ministry of Finance for 90% and the City of Rome for the 10%.
Testo di #Alessandroloschiavo
Fa la sua strada. E tu la tua. E non sono la stessa strada.
Così... io non è che volevo essere felice, questo no.
Volevo... salvarmi, ecco: salvarmi.
Ma ho capito tardi da che parte bisognava andare: dalla parte dei desideri.
Uno si aspetta che siano altre cose a salvare la gente:
il dovere, l'onestà, essere buoni, essere giusti. No.
Sono i desideri che salvano. Sono l'unica cosa vera.
Tu stai con loro, e ti salverai. Però troppo tardi l'ho capito.
Se le dai tempo, alla vita, lei si rigira in un modo strano, inesorabile:
e tu ti accorgi che a quel punto non puoi desiderare qualcosa senza farti del male.
E' lì che salta tutto, non c'è verso di scappare,
più ti agiti più si ingarbuglia la rete, più ti ribelli più ti ferisci.
Non se ne esce. Quando era troppo tardi, io ho iniziato a desiderare.
Con tutta la forza che avevo. Mi sono fatto tanto di quel male
che tu non te lo puoi nemmeno immaginare.
(Da Oceano mare di Alessandro Baricco)
Colors of Positano - The intense color and strong lines and shapes of Positano's Hotel Savoia and Deutsche Bank.
"Positano is a village and commune on the Amalfi Coast (Province of Salerno), in Campania, Italy, mainly in an enclave in the hills leading down to the coast.
The first evidence of a settlement in Positano dates back to the Upper Palaeolithic, when the "Grotto La Porta" was frequented by gatherers and hunters. Additional archaeological evidence dates back to the first century BC, when luxurious Roman villas were built on the coast of the Sorrento Peninsula. In Positano, one occupied the bay and the other extended on the island of the Long Rooster, "a typical example of how even more hidden spaces of a wild coast were used in the Claudian age without even respecting the rocks that, according to legend, would have served as the home of the sirens". These villas belong to the "dispersed type", that is, formed by different structures not grouped together, delimited by gardens. The names of the owners are not yet known, but they are certainly elitist contexts. The Villa di Positano was described for the first time by Karl Weber in 1758, who then oversaw the excavations in Herculaneum and Pompeii. At the beginning of the 1900s, Mingazzini and Pfister carried out some essays to better understand the structure of both the bay of Positano and the Gallo Lungo. Maiuri describes some remains, still visible in the 1960s, as a peristilium of stuccoed brick columns. The complex has been the subject of systematic excavations since 2003, which have affected the area below the Oratory of the Santa Maria Assunta Church and, the site was inaugurated on 18 July 2018, with the name of MAR (Roman Archaeological Museum) Santa Maria Assunta Positano.
Positano became a wealthy market port from the 15th to 17th century and has only continued to grow in popularity over time. Back then they traded food such as fish and other resources.
Positano was a port of the Amalfi Republic in medieval times, and prospered during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. By the mid-nineteenth century, however, the town had fallen on hard times. More than half the population emigrated, mostly to America.
Positano was a relatively poor fishing village during the first half of the twentieth century. It began to attract large number of tourists in the 1950s, especially after John Steinbeck published his essay about Positano in Harper's Bazaar in May, 1953: "Positano bites deep", Steinbeck wrote. "It is a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone" (Wikipedia).
