Caravaggio in Rome: a successful comeback

Our Blogger: Raul

-The exhibition organized to commemorate the anniversary of the death of the painter is gathering crowds from all over the world.


carav

The Caravaggio exhibition in Rome is being a huge success. As if trying to make up for the decades of oblivion, Italy and  tourists from all around the world are flocking to the Scuderie del Quirinale Museum to admire the works of the Lombard painter who for some critics is “the first modern painter”.

Caravaggio - Bacchino malato

The reason for all this excitement is the 400th anniversary  of the death of the painter who lived in Rome and spent his last years as an outlaw after killing a man in a fight. Many paintings have been gathered from museums all over Europe sepcially for this exhibition, so it’s not very likely you’ll have the cance to see them all together again in your lifetime! There is no better occasion to get acquainted with the ouvre of one of the most famous and mysterious Italian painters

The line for the exhibition can be quite long, so our advice is to book beforehand, which can be done on line. You will pay a bit more for the pre-sale rights, but it will be worth saving the waiting time.

And don’t forget it: for accomodation in Rome Lucci Hotel and Hotel Des Artistes are your best options!

The Divine Comedy, the Opera

Our Blogger: Marcelo

dantePrepare yourself for the most fantastic journey…A journey of over 14,000 lines turned into the most amazing show before your eyes. The Dante’s journey through the three realms of the afterlife. A journey to the unknown which becomes possible due to the imagination of one of the greatest writers of world literature.

Lost in a dark wood, unable to find the ‘’diritta via’’ (straight way) to salvation Dante finds the guidance of his ‘’Idol’’ the Great Virgilio through the Inferno (Hell) and Purgatorio (Purgatory). But for the Great Pagan Poet it is not possible to continue. Then Beatrice his beloved and ideal woman takes him through the Paradiso (Heaven).

In Hell, the poetic justice rules and so in  this terms each sin finds its right punishment. If  for example you were a fortune-teller in life, you are condemned  to walk with you head on backwards (unable to see what is ahead). Quite fair after all. Isn’t it?

The Purgatory represents the Christian life. The hope of “the conversion of the soul from the sorrow and misery of sin to the state of grace’’ in which faith finds its very basis. It may sound funny but certainly The Purgatory is notable for suggesting the medieval knowledge of a spherical Earth…

Finally Beatrice guides Dante through the celestial spheres of Heaven, of course concentric ones (as suggested by the Aristotelian cosmology). From the most ancient times, the circle was seen as the most perfect form in the universe. However, Dante accepts the fact that his vision of heaven is only  the one that his human eyes allow him to see.

divina_commedia

For him, as a consequence,  the  soul that has reached Paradise stops at the level suitable to it. All depending on their human ability to love God. There is indeed a heavenly hierarchy but not determined by time or learning but by their proximity to the Divine.

This Show offers a colorful representation of the great mystery of human condition. A way to re-think from a different point of view this day-to- day life of ours,  by contemplating the eternal scene of the world beyond. And hopefully each one of us will find his own paradise…

WHEN: 18-19-20 and 21st of march 2010.
WHERE: Gran Teatro, Viale Tor di Quinto – Rome – Italy.
More info: http://www.ladivinacommediaopera.it/. Tel: 06 3333571.
GETTING THERE: From Termini Station , take the underground line A, direction Battistini and get off at the stop Flaminio. Then tram line 2 until the stop Flamini-Consalvi (8 stops).

Witney Houston in Rome

Our Blogger: Marcelo

whitney-houston

Whitney Houston (at her 46)  plans the conquest of Rome next  4th may 2010. The concert of Whitney is already shaking Roman Foundations with the highest expectations.

Beyond the ‘’good girl’’ image during the 80’s and 90’s. Even beyond her ‘’incorrect’’ profile during the second part of the 90’s and the current decade. This last period included:  being late for interviews, canceling concerts and talk-show appearances, weight loss and rumors about drug abuse, airport security guards discovering marijuana in both Houston’s and Bobby Brown’s luggage at a Hawaiian airport in the year 2000 (anyway she boarded the plane  before authorities could arrive) etc etc …

Does it really matter after all? Her godmother, the Soul Goddess Aretha Franklin would be happy after all this things considering her busting success and skills:  Her debut album Whitney Houston in 1985, became the best-selling debut album by a female artist at the time of release.  Her second studio album Whitney (1987) became the first album by a female artist to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart  Houston appeared in her first starring role in the feature film The Bodyguard in 1992  The film’s original soundtrack won the 1994 Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Its lead single, “I Will Always Love You”, became one of the best-selling singles in music history.

affiche_bodyguard_1992_1Houston is one of the world’s best-selling music artists, having sold over 170 million records, worldwide  She is ranked as the fourth best-selling female artist in the United States  Not bad for a girl born in a poor neighborhood in the projects of Newark, New Jersey. With her amazing career she grasped all the aspects of the American Dream…  After a concert in Milan, the singer will present in the Eternal City her last album called ‘I look to you’ already certified platinum for sales over one million copies in the U.S:
