art galleries in rome:
pino casagrande....La galleria nasce nel 1992 quando Pino Casagrande, liberatosi da precedenti impegni lavorativi e familiari, decide di dedicarsi completamente all'arte. Abbandona così la veste del collezionista per assumere quelle di esperto e promotore di quell'arte che fin dall'infanzia lo aveva affascinato ovvero l'arte concettuale e minimale. Apre il suo primo spazio nel cuore di Roma, in via Principessa Clotilde, zona già ricca di tradizioni artistiche, dove inizia a proporre opere di artisti internazionali già affermati e di giovani meno conosciuti, ma certamente significativi per il percorso dell'arte concettuale. Nel 1995 cambia spazio espositivo localizzando la sua galleria in una zona ricca di un nuovo fermento culturale: il quartiere San Lorenzo. Tale scelta scaturisce non solo dall'esigenza di aumentare lo spazio espositivo da dedicare alle sempre più numerose opere, ma anche dal desiderio di immergersi in quella nascente dimensione artistica che spontaneamente si sta aggregando intorno all'Università di Roma. La vicinanza di tanti studi fotografici, atelier, officine sperimentali alimentate dalle nuove generazioni di artisti e studenti certamente creano e sviluppano quell'atmosfera di "tendenza" e nuova cultura che per tanto tempo era dell'area aggregata intorno a Via Margutta. Con quest'ultima operazione la Galleria di arte contemporanea Pino Casagrande potrà affermare appieno la sua missione ovvero quella di organizzare mostre e proporre ad un pubblico sempre più "vasto" e sempre più "colto" opere di artisti affermati e di promuovere ad un pubblico sempre più "attento" e sempre più "intenditore" opere di figure artistiche nascenti.

Space impact 'saved Christianity'......
Did a meteor over central Italy in AD 312 change the course of Roman and Christian history?

About the size of a football field: The impact crater left behindA team of geologists believes it has found the incoming space rock's impact crater, and dating suggests its formation coincided with the celestial vision said to have converted a future Roman emperor to Christianity.
It was just before a decisive battle for control of Rome and the empire that Constantine saw a blazing light cross the sky and attributed his subsequent victory to divine help from a Christian God.
Constantine went on to consolidate his grip on power and ordered that persecution of Christians cease and their religion receive official status.
Civil war
In the fourth century AD, the fragmented Roman Empire was being further torn apart by civil war. Constantine and Maxentius were bitterly fighting to be the sole emperor.
Constantine was the son of the western emperor Constantius Chlorus. When he died in 306, his father's troops proclaimed Constantine emperor.
...a most marvellous sign appeared to him from heaven...
Eusebius But in Rome, the favourite was Maxentius, son of Constantius' predecessor, Maximian.
With both men claiming the title, a conference was called in AD 308 that resulted in Maxentius being named as senior emperor along with Galerius, his father-in-law. Constantine was to be a Caesar, or junior emperor.
The situation was not a stable one, however, and by 312 the two men were at war.
Constantine overran Italy and faced Maxentius at the Milvian Bridge over the Tiber a few kilometres from Rome. Both knew it would be a decisive battle with Constantine's forces outnumbered.
'Conquer by this'
It was then that something strange happened. Eusebius - one of the Christian Church's early historians - relates the event in his Conversion of Constantine.
"...while he was thus praying with fervent entreaty, a most marvellous sign appeared to him from heaven, the account of which it might have been hard to believe had it been related by any other person.
"...about noon, when the day was already beginning to decline, he saw with his own eyes the trophy of a cross of light in the heavens, above the Sun, and bearing the inscription 'conquer by this'.
"At this sight he himself was struck with amazement, and his whole army also, which followed him on this expedition, and witnessed the miracle."
Spurred on by divine intervention, Constantine's army won the day and he gave homage to the God of the Christians whom he believed had helped him.
This was a time when Christianity was struggling. Support from the most powerful man in the empire allowed the emerging religious movement to flourish.
Like a nuclear blast
But what was the celestial event that converted Constantine and altered the course of history?
Jens Ormo, a Swedish geologist, and colleagues working in Italy believe Constantine witnessed a meteoroid impact.

Drill rig: Sampling the craterThe research team believes it has identified what remains of the impactor's crater.
It is the small, circular Cratere del Sirente in central Italy. It is clearly an impact crater, Ormo says, because its shape fits and it is also surrounded by numerous smaller, secondary craters, gouged out by ejected debris, as expected from impact models.
Radiocarbon dating puts the crater's formation at about the right time to have been witnessed by Constantine and there are magnetic anomalies detected around the secondary craters - possibly due to magnetic fragments from the meteorite.
According to Ormo, it would have struck the Earth with the force of a small nuclear bomb, perhaps a kiloton in yield. It would have looked like a nuclear blast, with a mushroom cloud and shockwaves.
It would have been quite an impressive sight and, if it really was what Constantine saw, could have turned the tide of the conflict.
But what would have happened if this chance event - perhaps as rare as once every few thousand years - had not occurred in Italy at that time?
Maxentius might have won the battle. Roman history would have been different and the struggling Christians might not have received state patronage.
The history of Christianity and the establishment of the popes in Rome might have been very different.

ANCIENT ROME AND MUSIC
Musical festival in the Archeological area of the Teatro di Marcello, next to the Capitol Hill
The Teatro di Marcello is located in the heart of Rome, in one of the most fascinating places in the world. The theatre was built by Emperor Augustus in order to honour the memory of his favourite nephew, Marcellus. It is in this context and in the surrounding archeological area that the Musical Festival “Notti Romane al Teatro di Marcello” will take place (via del Teatro di Marcello, 44): from June 18th to September 28th, every evening at 8.30 p.m.



Music will once more be played in the Archeological Area of the Teatro di Marcello, in the area between the imposing structure of the Theatre (that Emperor Augustus dedicated in 13 a.D. to the memory of his beloved nephew Marcellus), the light columns of the Temple of Apollo Sosiano and the grand Portico of Octavia.


The Musical Festival “Notti Romane al Teatro di Marcello” has been very successful in the past few years: it will bring together once more shows, music and ancient latin and greek poetry in an area where, already 20 centuries ago, games, rites and plays were performed.


The Musical Festival is part of the global organization of the Estate Romana (roman summer) and is sponsored not only by the City of Rome, but also by the most important embassies in Rome, various prestigious cultural centres, academies, music schools and conservatoires.The Festival will introduce Italian and foreign artists, with a great variety of repertories.

The Festival takes place in a context where every character of ancient and modern history has left a trace: this makes the atmosphere very special.


There will be many solo players (among them the famous Japanese piano player Hiroshi Takashu, who will play the by now traditional mid-summer concert) and many chamber music groups. There will be piano players, flute, guitar, violin players and along with them opera singers: they will all contribute to the creation of an unforgettable “sound-track” for the duration of the whole summer. The Tempietto will not only organize more than a hundred concerts in one of the most fascinating places on earth, but it will also be proposing poetic and literary debates, historical and archeological presentations and unannounced contemporary music pieces.

These are just some of the participating artists: Akiko Kusano; Michele Pentrella; Alessandra Celletti; Cipriana Smarandescu; Mario Montore; Alessandro Vuono; Maria Luisa Abbattista; Chiara Bertoglio; Luisa Canepa Garibaldi; Daniele Mutino; Sandra Landini; Dario Emanuele Aricò; Daniele Camiz; Davide Borin; Maria Chiara Sottile; Francesco Paolo Borgia; Carmelo Quagliata; Francesco Paolo Borgia; Daniela Frija; Fabio Rosai; Angelo Molinaro; Valeria Finale; Alessandra Celletti; Alessandro Roselletti; San Francisco Bay Area Chamber Choir diretto da Harry Carter; Silvia Cormio; Daniela De Prosperis; Simone Bruschi; Andrea Seminaroti; Ede Ivan; Caterina Arzani; Stefano Bigoni; Claudio Bonechi; Isabella Caruso; Maria Grazia Ciofani; Claudio Alei; Patrizio Felici; Lilli Feminò; Orazio Feminò; Massimo Matulli; Roberto De Romanis; Marco Di Perna; Giovanna Dongu; Paola Dongu; Antonella Lunghi; Elisabetta Pacelli; Laura Morelli; Adonella Gregori; Stefano Macciocu; Paolo Manfredi; Cecilia Pascale; Luca Pieruccioni; Alessandra Pompili; Carmelo Quagliata; Francesco Romano; Luciano Ruotolo; Fabio Rosai; Umberto Santoro; Paolo Scanabissi; Riccardo Scilipoti; Marek Szlezer; Alessandra Tiraterra; Margherita Traversa; Eri Arai; Francesco Bucarello; Sara Matteo; Marina Cesari; Leonora Baldelli; Leonardo Ramadori; Nicola Narduzzi; Cristina Morelli.


The concerts will take place even in case of rain: the beautiful Basilica of San Nicola in Carcere of the X century (Via del Teatro di Marcello, 46) will provide a shelter both for the musicians and the public.


The concerts that take place in the Teatro di Marcello are part of a larger Festival delle Nazioni, that includes also other happenings in the Giardino della Casina delle Civette (Garden of the Owl House) in Villa Torlonia (via Nomentana, 70): the concerts take place every evening until September 28th, at 8.30 p.m.

The season ticket is valid for both locations.

Luisa Cevese is a collection of products made out of an innovative material which combines textile scraps with latex plastic. Each piece is similar but never the same and unique due to the nature of the production process and the textiles employed.

"I love waste," Luisa Cevese says.
The statement might sound strange, but the work of this Milan designer—who used to head a large silk manufacturer's research department—consists of a material she invented and patented: a mixture of textile scraps and polyurethane. "My contact with industrial production made me realize how much is left over," she recalls. "I started thinking about how I could use it for a new project." Taking an approach simultaneously artistic and utilitarian, she launched Luisa Cevese Riedizioni in 1995.
