Abstract:
The theme “Dostoevsky and Italy” is extensive and diverse due to the fact that a number of researchers constantly turn to it, opening new pages in the life of the great writer. It includes the following areas of research: Dostoevsky's journey through Italy, the images of Italy in the pages of Dostoevsky's works, the reception of the writer's creativity in journalism, cinema and art, the problems of translating Dostoevsky's works into Italian. A special appeal to this topic shows that these four areas of research are connected in the works of Dostoevsky with such Italian cities as Rome, Florence and Naples. This determines the problematic of this article. The author assumes that there is a special integrity in all the disparate impressions and plots of Dostoevsky connected with Rome, Naples, and Florence. Dostoevsky's great novels are born in Rome against the backdrop of the great creations of Italian architecture. Naples is a city of dreams, a city where “noise, thunder, life” is intertwined with Dostoevsky’s fatal love, with truly Italian passions that defined the love story of the writer and Apollinaria Suslova. Florence is a city of quiet family happiness and comfort, which the writer needed so much during his creative dawn.

Abstract:
The article analyzes the previously insufficiently researched art program of Nicholas I in Florence. That is – the study of the museum fund of Italian and European paintings, orders of art copies within the framework of the general state policy of copying similar to the policy of France and Italy, replenishment of the museum fund of St. Petersburg and Russia. Based on documents kept in domestic and foreign archives, modern literature of art historians in Russia and Italy, the author draws attention to the “pitfalls” of the classical art market in Italy, which the Russian monarch faced. His artistic preferences are also analyzed; his contribution to the formation of the museum fund of St. Petersburg and Russia is assessed. The features of the “Russian approach” to copying are revealed, which acquire relevance and practical significance during the pandemic crisis and modern technologies.

Abstract:
I analyzed the market of paintings in Florence and Italy (1285–1550). Hedonic regressions on real prices allowed me to advance evidence that the market was competitive and that an important determinant of artistic innovation was driven by economic incentives. Price differentials reflected quality differentials between painters as perceived at the time (whose proxy is the length of the biography of Vasari) and did not depend on regional destinations, as expected under monopolistic competition with free entry. An inverse-U relation between prices and age of execution is consistent with reputational theories of artistic effort, and prices increased since the 1420s.

Abstract:
On 27 May 1993 a powerful bomb exploded in the center of Florence, Italy, killing five people and doing severe damage to art and architectural treasures, including the Uffizi Gallery and Accademia dei Georgofili. It was the first disaster since the floods of 1966 simultaneously to cause victims and damage the city's cultural heritage. In this study local and international newspaper coverage of the bomb outrage is analyzed and compared with reporting on the 1966 floods. Once again, questions of artistic damage and the safety of tourists occupied the foreign papers while human interest stories dominated the Florentine ones indeed, the English and American newspapers treated the damaged art treasures were almost as if they were human casualties. But since 1966 (and the collapse of the Eastern Bloc) Western news reporting has become depoliticized and dominated by new contexts, such as the pre-eminence of commercialism and, in the case of Italy, the struggle against the mafia. It is concluded that the nature and extent of newspaper coverage of the bomb outrage was determined, not by objective or moral assessments of newsworthiness, but by a mixture of ad hoc considerations and snap assessments of what the readership wanted to learn about.

Abstract:
Pregnancy was a dangerous event in the life of a fifteenth-century Florentine patrician woman. One-fifth of all deaths among females that occurred in Florence during this period were in fact related to complications in childbirth or ensuing post-partum infections. In the years 1424-25 and 1430, the Books of the Dead recorded the deaths of fifty-two women as a result of labour. As conditions for pregnant women did not improve in the ensuing half a century, childbirth remained a dangerous event for women to endure. Husbands took many precautions to ensure a successful birth as can be seen in the vast array of objects associated with this event created at this time. People turned to religion and magic in order to ensure that both the mother and child would survive this perilous process. Death in childbirth affected women from all classes and wealth did not act as a deterrent. The loss ...

Abstract:
ABSTRACTStudies of the Grand Tour conventionally focus upon the art and antiquities of Italy rather than the urban environment in which the tourists found themselves, and they generally stop short in the 1790s. This article examines the perceptions and representations of Florence amongst British visitors over the course of the long eighteenth century up to c. 1820 in order to establish continuity between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It considers why it was that British travellers appeared to be particularly attracted to Florence: initially they responded to congenial and pleasant surroundings, the availability of home comforts, and a sparkling social life. In the later eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries Florence acquired new meanings for the British, who began to identify and admire a civilization which had been based upon mercantile wealth and liberty: the foundations for the Victorian celebration of Florence were laid. But the experience of Florence as a city had also changed: it was no longer simply the showcase of the Medici dukes. As a consequence the buildings, monuments, and paintings of the republican period, as well as the history which they embodied, came into focus for the first time.

Mariani, Irene. "Vespucci family in context : art patrons in late fifteenth-century Florence." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/15740.

Full text
Abstract:
The study of Florentine artistic patronage has attracted several approaches over the last three decades, including the exploration of patron-­‐client structures and how the use of art in private and public spheres contributed to shape families’s identity. Building on past research, this work focuses on the art patronage of a prominent, yet overlooked, family, the Vespucci, to whom Amerigo, the navigator who reached the coasts of America in the late fifteenth century, belonged. Although the family’s importance was achieved through a synergy of political, religious and intellectual forces, attention is given to the Vespucci’s engagement with the arts and their key contribution to Florence’s humanistic culture between the years 1470-­1500. The family’s houses and private chapels are analysed, and three artists, Botticelli, Ghirlandaio and Piero di Cosimo, considered. Combining history, art history, and archival resources, new evidence and interpretations are advanced to ascribe selected artworks -­ controversially believed to be Vespucci commissions - to the private patronage of this Florentine family. Examining the Vespucci’s artistic taste in private and public settings, whilst attempting a reconstruction of partially lost painted commissions, deepens comprehension on the role that domestic and social life played in the creation of art and culture; the family’s force in shaping spaces; and the practice of buying, commissioning, and displaying as a means of signifying wealth, increasing status, and establishing identity. Power seekers, the Vespucci entered the Medici intellectual circles through which they created chains of friendship with prominent families inside and outside of Florence. As questions about shared artistic tastes and the paradigmatic role of the Medici artistic patronage have been the focus of scholarly enquiry, this study of the Vespucci provides an insight into the family’s spreading of new ideas and its interaction with the development of the visual arts. Investigation into the Vespucci’s breadth of interests helps to reframe the current knowledge of Florentine cultural exchanges and to contextualise the family’s influence beyond the geographical discoveries it has been exclusively associated with.

Full text
Abstract:
My thesis offers the first full exploration of the literature and art associated with the Genoese noblewoman Simonetta Cattaneo Vespucci (1453-1476). Simonetta has gone down in legend as a model of Sandro Botticelli, and most scholarly discussions of her significance are principally concerned with either proving or disproving this theory. My point of departure, rather, is the series of vernacular poems that were written about Simonetta just before and shortly after her early death. I use them to tell a new story, that of the transformation of the historical manna Simonetta into a cultural icon, a literary and visual construct who served the political, aesthetic and pecuniary agendas of her poets and artists. It is an account of the Florentine circles that used women to forge a collective sense of identity, of the emergence of Simonetta and her equally idealised peers as touchstones in contemporary debates regarding beauty and love, and of their corresponding lack of importance as 'real' women in the conservative republic in which they lived. In doing this, my thesis makes an important contribution to our understanding of how and why female beauty was commodified in the poetry and art of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Florence.

The Palazzo Medici was a site of significant social and political representation for the Medici. Access to much of the interior was limited, ostensibly, to the family. In republican Florence, however, visitors were a crucial component in the maintenance of a political faction. Consequently, the "private" spaces of the Palazzo Medici were designed and decorated with guests in mind. Visitor accounts reveal that the path and destination of each visitor differed according to his status and significance to the family. The common citizen waited, sometimes for great lengths, in the courtyard, taking in the anti-tyrannical message of the space. The privileged guest, who had more to provide the Medici, was given access to the more private spaces of the residence. Surrounded by art and architecture that demonstrated the faith, education, and wealth of the Medici, he was assured that his support of the family was beneficial to his own pursuits.

This thesis examines Lorenzo Monaco's altarpiece the Man of Sorrows with the Virgin, St. John the Evangelist, with the Emblems and Episodes of the Passion, (c. 1404) under historical, religious, political, and liturgical rubrics. While comparing various depictions of the Man of Sorrows, this project places Lorenzo Monaco's unique interpretation within the context of events surrounding the painting's conception and realization. With particular attention to Lorenzo's distinctive composition, techniques and juxtaposition of imagery, this study shows that his Man of Sorrows in fact conveys a complex message about Florentine society in Late Gothic times.

Full text
Abstract:
The Renaissance Florentine Captain of the People began as a court, which defended the common people or popolo from the magnates and tried crimes such as assault, murder and fraud. This study reveals how factionalism, economic stress and the rise of citizen magistrate courts eroded the jurisdiction and ended the Court of the Captain. The creation of the Captain in 1250 occurred during the external fight for dominance between the Holy Roman Emperor and the Pope and the struggle between the Guelfs and Ghibellines within the city of Florence. The rise of the Ciompi in 1379, worried the Florentine aristocracy who believed the Ciompi was a threat to their power and they created the Otto di Guardia, a citizen magistrate court. This court began as a way to manage gaps in jurisdiction not covered by the Captain and his fellow rectors. However, by 1433 the Otto eroded the power of the Captain and his fellow rectors. Historians have argued that the Roman law jurists in this period became the tool for the aristocracy but in fact, the citizen magistrate courts acted as a source of power for the aristocracy. In the 1430s, the Albizzi and Medici fought for power. The Albizzi utilized a government mandate, which had the case already carried out or a bullectini to exile Medici adherents. However, by 1433, the Medici triumphed and Cosimo de Medici returned to the city of Florence. He expanded the power of the Otto in order to utilize the bullectini to exile his enemies. The expansion of jurisdiction of the Otto further eroded the power of the Captain. Factionalism, economic stress and the rise of the citizen magistrate courts eroded the power of the Captain of the people.

Abstract:
The topic that we will deal with in this essay is central for the development of higher education in Italy, Europe and the world. Universities as academic and educational institutions have changed radically over the last 50 years. At present, their task is to educate and train new brackets of the population for a future in which competencies and learning will be the points of reference for an ever more rapidly and intensely evolving and developing world. To this end, it becomes important to reflect on the topic of building university curricula in the educational sector and on the competencies achieved by the graduates from master’s courses designed to train the professional figure of pedagogist. The aim of the article is to concentrate on the internal aspects of university programmes whose goal is to train true professionals in the world of education and training, who are able to take on the responsibilities required of them and to display the necessary competencies. Here, it will be offered the last results of a qualitative research on the perceptions of the learning outcomes of two groups of master degree students in Adult Education and Pedagogical Sciences at the University of Florence. The principal points will consist into the reaching of the employability competences and into the acquiring of the knowledges about the labour market.

Abstract:
AbstractUrban Green Spaces (UGS) have several positive effects on Public Health, environmental quality, and cities’ resilience to climate change; UGS are crucial in urban regeneration actions and urban health purposes. Moreover, to better define the UGS’ health impacts, it is important to define and guarantee UGS’ proximity, accessibility, and quality. Aim of the research is a quali-quantitative assessment of the UGS in Italian metropolitan cities, taking Milan, Turin, Florence, and Bologna as preliminary case studies. One of the 1st phases was to draw up dynamic and descriptive GIS-based maps of the relationships between density of population and of urban fabric, UGS’ availability, and their accessibility. Only the areas with a size greater than 15,000 square meters were considered; three buffer zones of proximity were defined: 250, 500, and 750 m. By combining the UGS’ availability with the population’s density, it was possible to quantify the citizens included in the three buffer zones. From the 1st analysis, it is observed that about 90% of the population is served by a quality green area within a buffer area of 750 m; 78% by the buffer zone of 500 m; 49% by the buffer zone of 250 m. Both the elaborated maps and graphs obtained show how population is not equally served by close and accessible UGS. Their geo-localization it’s a preliminary quantitative step (process started in Italy with the introduction of regulations like green areas’ census, mapping, maintenance legislation, and strategic plans), but it’s even more crucial to evaluate the UGS’ quality in terms of accessibility, safety and security features, provision of services and paths.

Abstract:
The place to live and the living space fundamentally shape each person and the possibilities of their own existence. The landscape of humanism defines an environment where the unique local landscape and architecture inspire people to free their minds from the principles and rules that protect the supremacy of the powerful in a way that invites new exploration. The landscape of humanism, as conceived in my work, begins to be born during the early 13th century in central Italy. The progenitor who initiated this transformation by his life example is Saint Francis of Assisi. The life of this man subsequently influenced European civilization not only in the spiritual and philosophical sphere, but also in the sphere of material aesthetics, represented by beautiful art and architecture. The landscape of humanism, thanks to the personal influence of Saint Francis, has helped to give birth to a new creative generation whose works are beginning to speak not only in the local italian language, but at the same time are beginning to use the local landscape and architecture to tell the life stories of people who are not written about in The Bible and who are not the powers of this world. Through this milestone, it is the creative freedom of the new generation that has helped to change the mindset, the rules and the laws of those who set them. In the landscape of humanism, works whose creators are already known by name and whose authorship can be documented appear in art and architecture. A whole new chapter of art history begins here, as citizen investors appear whose influence on the subject of the artwork is evident. The business relationship between the investor and the artist sets new rules and this collaboration begins to influence the creation and existence of the artwork itself. The artistic centre of the landscape of humanism is the Florentine Republic, whose exceptionally successful commercial potential in 13th-century Europe granted it an unexpected autonomy and a position of eminence. Florentine Republic was so influenced by the legacy of Saint Francis that it became the cradle of artists who began to write new rules, were personally responsible for their work to the investor, and received financial rewards for their work, of which there is already written evidence. Florence is the city that is the cradle of a new generation of artists able to author the expression of their work for their client. The personalities who transformed central Italy into a landscape of humanism, and at the same time represent the artistic beginning of the liberation of the mind and spirit from the dictates of the times, are the subject of this work. The authorial differences of the selected artists, differing in their elaboration and in the way of depicting the same assignment, are the purpose of my thesis. The aim of this thesis is to present the landscape of humanism through the artists whose works of art represent this transformation, which at the same time has provided artists with a dignified and desirable place in the hierarchy of the society. The artists working in the landscape of humanism that will be examined in my thesis are Bonaventura Berlinghieri, Coppo di Marcovaldo, Giunta Pisano and Cimabue.

Abstract:
Abstract In the recent years Additive Manufacturing (AM) methods, such as the Direct Metal Laser Melting (DMLM) technology, are getting more and more attractive and feasible for the realization of components and subcomponents of gas turbines. In particular, they are receiving much attention since, on one hand, the manufacturing of complex 3D geometries is allowed and, on the other, manufacturing and delivery times can be cut down. At the current state of the art, although AM is entering and spreading within modern gas turbines at fast pace, to the authors’ knowledge only few applications have yet been commercialized relatively to cooling holes, due to the intrinsic difficulties associated with such a critical feature. Lately, Baker Hughes is studying the possibility to manufacture film-cooling holes via the DMLM technology in order to exploit the flexibility of such innovative manufacturing method and hence eliminate additional processes and lead time. From the open literature it is known that additively manufactured holes can have a more irregular shape and higher roughness than traditional ones, which may lead not only to a reduction in coolant flow but more importantly to a decay of the film-cooling adiabatic effectiveness. For this reason, a test campaign has been conducted in collaboration with the University of Florence (Italy) with the objective of characterizing the performance (minimum passage diameter, flow check and adiabatic effectiveness) of AM vs traditional cylindrical holes on simple-geometry coupons built upon different construction angles. Results were then analyzed in order to fully compare the performance of AM vs traditional film-cooling holes at different operating regimes. In addition, selected holes were inspected through tomography in order to reveal the microscopic characteristics of lateral and outlet surfaces and get a further appreciation of the two different technologies. Ultimately the dependency of AM holes performance on print angles is sought with the purpose of characterizing the impact of such manufacturing technology on film-cooling holes design.

Abstract. Safeguarding the built heritage represents an urgent challenge for the culture and identity of each country. In Italy, past seismic events have highlighted the vulnerability of historic urban centres, as aggregates of historic masonry buildings. In this work, the seismic vulnerability of the historic centre of Florence, a UNESCO heritage site since 1982, will be investigated in the context of the Vulnerability Index Method, an empirical approach for the vulnerability assessment at the territorial level, proposed by Benedetti and Petrini in 1984, adopted by the Italian Group of Defense from Earthquake in 1993 and integrated by Formisano in 2011 with the key factors linked to the influence of the aggregate layout in the seismic behaviour. In particular, an urban aggregate composed of fourteen masonry in-line buildings (two palaces in the corner and twelve serial intercluded buildings) is considered as a case study. Buildings show a long narrow plan and an internal court and have undergone many transformations throughout history. Historical and typological analysis and material and constructive investigations were carried out to aid in understanding the mechanical behaviour of these buildings. These preliminary analyses allowed us to highlight the specific features and vulnerabilities of the aggregate, such as the presence of an internal court, which was the object of a specific study carried out supported by non-linear FEM investigations. In particular, this study was aimed at understanding how the GNDT form of the Seismic Vulnerability Level II can describe the vulnerability induced by the internal court in the seismic behaviour of the typical historical buildings in the city centre of Florence. First, the parameters of the GNDT form, influenced by the internal court, have been identified. Some considerations are reported by evaluating the results relating to these parameters, obtained for the application of the case study. Subsequently, some possible proposals for integrating the GNDT form were formulated to include the local vulnerability induced by the internal court in the structural behaviour of the typical historical buildings of the UNESCO city centre of Florence.

Abstract:
A design of experiment approach was used to solve problems on the new centrifugal compressor stage development test beds at the Nuovo Pignone – GE Oil&Gas premises in Florence, Italy. The company is able to provide centrifugal compressor equipment tailored to the user’s requests, with special reference to the oil & gas market. In order to provide this service, an archive of designs is available which can be adapted to different requirements: CFD is widely used to improve the turbomachinery performance, and on each new stage design extensive fluid dynamics test campaigns are routinely run, in order to confirm the expected performance. Recently inadequacy of the accuracy of the measurements became evident: the cause was traced back to thermal effects which introduced a large uncertainty in the test results, with special reference to machines having large operating Mach number, and low pressure ratio. The present work included: a) The development of a heat transfer model capable of predicting the observed trend of the experimental data. b) The improvement of the accuracy of total temperature measurements, needed to confirm the results of the model. The positive results allow the company to guarantee with increased confidence the expected performance levels.

Abstract:
The rise of new interactive, digital and connected objects is bringing about significant transformations in our world, generating new ways of living and new channels of access to communication. The healthcare sector is one of the sectors most affected by this digital revolution.Gerontechnology, a relatively recent field of research, studies the interaction between increasing longevity combined with a decreasing birth rate and the development of emerging healthcare technologies (Bouma et al., 2007; Chen, 2020).Therefore, from a theoretical point of view, digital health technologies (wearable devices, social media, robotics, smart devices, virtual technologies, etc.) can support successful ageing (van Bronswijk et al., 2009; Lee et al., 2020), but in practice, the results achieved do not live up to the expectations of elderly users, as the elderly population is less able to access new technologies as they are less open to innovation (Loges & Jung; 2001; van Dijk & Hacker, 2003; Manchester & Jarke, 2022).The EU's 2022 report (European Commission, 2022) on the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) places Italy 18th among the 27 EU Member States, which can be attributed to the relative lack of literacy of the Italian elderly population, although, compared to 2021, Italy gained two points (20th place). In order to limit the Grey Digital Divide, gerontechnology design in recent years has been influenced by the anthropocentric approach, a design approach that places the elderly within the design process (Baker et al., 2019; Vines et al., 2015; Wallace et al., 2020) considering them as a social resource and not as frail, sick and dependent. Design, and in particular the Human-Centred Design approach, can play a crucial role both in understanding the needs of the elderly population and in translating these needs into digital products that are more suitable and relevant to their purpose. For these reasons, in this article we introduce the first results of the research carried out by the Ergonomics and Design Lab. (LED) of the University of Florence within the research programme "Age-It Ageing well in an ageing society", an extended partnership financed within the PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan, Funded by the Italian Government with the European funds Next Generation Eu Mission 4 "Education and Research" Component 2 "From Research to Enterprise"). The Age-It programme, in which 25 partners, including Universities and Research Centres, participate, is led by the University of Florence and consists of 10 spokes. LED researchers are involved in spoke 9, which aims to study advanced gerontechnologies for active and healthy ageing. The objective is therefore to reduce the digital divide between generations through the development of design guidelines that can help the elderly to use digital health technologies consciously and safely.The article will discuss the research questions, method, results and future developments.

Abstract:
Abstract The energy industry is witnessing a growing interest in adopting robotic technologies for unmanned operations, such as asset inspection. Robots performing inspection tasks are safer, cost-effective and can help minimize risks, especially when assets are in extreme environments. Although different studies highlight the positive impact that the adoption of robots may have in the energy industry, there is little evidence of the robustness of such tools during operation. This is mostly due to the limited access for the scientific community to operational sites and corporate data, and to the limited availability of robust robotic platforms certified to - and thus allowed to - operate under specific conditions. This study aims at filling this literature gap by testing one of the few robot platforms available in the market that are well-suited for the energy industry, as they can be released with an ATEX certification (ATmospheres Explosibles) for operation in environments with explosive atmospheres. This paper tests the robustness of a quadruped robot in autonomous inspection activities on a mineral lube oil console used to lubricate gas turbines and available at the Baker Hughes site in Florence (Italy). A qualitative analysis of robot performances in critical tasks for mission accomplishment - such as locomotion, step climbing, visual inspection, recharge, and docking - has been conducted and discussed.
