Per i numerosissimi amanti del Rinascimento, segnalo anche la bellissima mostra "The Medici's Painter: Carlo Dolci and 17th-Century Florence

Perhaps more than any other painter, Sandro Botticelli (about 1445-1510) exemplifies the Renaissance in Florence during the 15th century, and his signature style of strong contours, lyrical poses, and flowing drapery remains instantly recognizable more than five centuries later. Seventeen paintings, nearly all traveling to the US for the first time, are brought together in the first major Botticelli exhibition ever held in North America. Organized by the Muscarelle Museum of Art at the College of William & Mary and Italy's Metamorfosi Associazione Culturale, the exhibition explores dramatic changes in the artist's style that reflect the shifting political climate of 15th-century Florence. At the height of his career, Botticelli was supported by the powerful Medici family, headed by Lorenzo the Magnificent.
Pallas and the Centaur
(1481, Uffizi, Florence) and
Venus
(about 1490, Galleria Sabauda, Turin)-Botticelli's reworking of his famous
Birth of Venus
-are nearly life-size works from this period and display the painter's skill in depicting elegant figures from classical mythology.

Legendary Italian pop music icon Iva Zanicchi (Non pensare a me, Zingara, Ciao, cara, come stai?...), the only female vocalist to win Italy's famed San Remo Music Festival three times is a row, is returning to the United States on Saturday, April 22, 2017, to kick off a multicity, North American tour in celebration of Italian-American pride and culture at Boston's Historic Faneuil Hall. Co-headlining with Ms. Zanicchi will be her American hosts, the iconic, Rock & Roll, Vocal Group and Grammy Halls of Fame members, The Platters® (Only You, Great Pretender, My Prayer, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes...). Ms. Zanicchi and The Platters represent the multigenerational kinship that symbolizes the unity of the Italian and American people via the universal language of music.
The purpose of the tour is threefold. One: To celebrate and thank the American people for liberating Italy from Nazi occupation under reviled Italian Dictator Benito Mussolini on April 25, 1945. Two: Raise awareness of Italian Arts and Culture in honor of the international release of the new, critically acclaimed Italian comedy-drama Briciole Sul Mare. The motion picture is currently under consideration as an official nominee for a prestigious David di Donatello Award. Three: To raise funds for the Italian Red Cross to help the victims of central Italy's recent earthquakes.
Briciole Sul Mare
tells the story of a fisherman living in the south of Italy whose regular fishing trip takes an unexpected turn when he falls asleep. During his slumber, he drifts south to the waters of beautiful, sunny Sicily. There, he meets many new people, including Salvo, a young man who finds himself in a whirlwind of romance, family drama and legal trouble-all which could completely alter his future. The film is full of dramatic and comical waves that rise and fall so unexpectedly that any avid roller coaster rider would be envious.
During the tour, Ms. Zanicchi will introduce three of Italy's rising star vocalists to North America. Briciole film star and director Walter Nestola, Paola Gruppuso (from Italy's RAI-TV's The Voice), both of whom are featured on the films official motion picture soundtrack, and Italy's hottest new music sensation Amato Scarpellino.
In addition to Boston, the multi-city tour will visit the following cities: Providence, Rhode Island; Hartford, Connecticut; New York City; New Jersey/Philadelphia; Washington, D.C.; Chicago; Cleveland; Buffalo, New York; Toronto; and Montreal.

Art historian Michael Jacoff, widely known for his book The Horses of San Marco (1993), will speak from his recent work on the thirteenth-century depictions of artisans and shopkeepers in the central portal of St. Mark's Basilica. These vivid reliefs of bakers, butchers, ship-builders, and other tradesmen chronicle the daily work of Venetians and touch larger themes of the period.
Professor Jacoff will describe how the creators of these remarkable scenes projected an image of Venice that was resonant in their own day and for centuries to come.

fifty autograph works,
pictures of the highest pictorial, technical, and spiritual qualities,
through exceptional loans from the world's major museums and rarely seen works from private collections in the U.S. and abroad-including the Uffizi Gallery and Palazzo Pitti in Florence, the Louvre Museum in Paris, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the J.

Accademia della Cucina Italiana
Commitment and Research for the protection of the traditions of Italian cuisine
Goethe disse "dimmi con chi vai e ti diro chi sei, e se so di cosa ti occupi sapro che cosa vuoi diventare".
L'Accademia Italiana della Cucina, ha lo scopo di identificare ristoranti italiani e di accertarne la qualita.
La qualita del cibo non puo essere isolata dalla qualita dell'ambiente, dal servizio, dalla conoscenza e gentilezza del personale. In sintesi, la vera esperienza italiana a tavola composta da tutti quegli elementi che contribuiscono a rendere la colazione un evento culturale e non una attivita mangiereccia, lo scopo non e' di sfamarsi bensi di ricordare odori e sapori autentici di una storia millenaria se pure in evoluzione. Gli Accademici condividono l'amore per la buona tavola e per la sana conversazione, l'Accademia riprende il pensiero di Goethe almeno nella sua prima parte tanto da celebrare lo stare insieme e nutrirne insegnamento. Al ristoratore, dedichiamo la seconda parte del pensiero di Goethe pertanto ci poniamo la domanda - di cosa si occupa principalmente il cuoco? Se si occupa della cucina allora l'amore per gli ingredienti e come innovarli rispettando la storia e la classicita della cucina Italiana, diventa l'attivita primaria. Tutto il resto e' business o peggio fuffa. I cuochi nel Medioevo erano organizzati e rappresentavano la propria gerarchia, con Enrico IV di Francia la gerarchia era stata suddivisa in aree di competenza con i "maestri chef, cuochi e porte chapes" dedicati a organizzare pranzi di nozze. Questi chef, alla fine del loro apprendistato avevano il compito di offrire 6 libbre di carne o pesce a ciascun membro della Confraternita e riceverne la critica.
