Dear Italians and dear Friends of Italy,

The GRAMMY-winning Boston Early Music Festival presents an enchanting spectacle of music and dance with an all-new, groundbreaking production of Le Carnaval de Venise, André Campra's captivating 1699 opéra-ballet. Join four star-crossed lovers as they experience the delights of the Carnival season in Venice-seen onstage in a colorful parade of beautiful, period-inspired costumes and magnificent sets-enjoying games, dances, and even a brilliantly realized "opera within an opera", a miniature Italian opera on the Orpheus myth. Campra was the leading composer of opera in France between the death of Lully and the emergence of Rameau, and thrilled audiences and royal patrons alike with some of the most gorgeous music in the Baroque repertoire. This exquisite gem joins the elegance of French dance with the boisterous hilarity of Italian commedia dell'arte to produce a splendid feast for eyes and ears!

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.

Through July 9 2017 | The Davis Museum at Wellesley College
The Medici's Painter: Carlo Dolci and 17th-Century Florence
The Medici's Painter: Carlo Dolci and 17th-Century Florence
is the first exhibition in Am
erica de
oted to the luminous and meticulously rendered paintings and drawings of Italian artist Carlo Dolci (1616-1687). It provides an unprecedented opportunity to study the life and oeuvre of 17th-century Florence's most important painter, whose reverence for detail, brilliant palette, and seemingly enameled surfaces earned the favor of powerful Medici patronage.
The Davis Museum's most ambitious old masters project to date,
The Medici's Painter
includes
over
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. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, among others.
The exhibition travel for presentation at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University in fall 2017.

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.
