The Invention of Landscape
MAR – Martini Hall
Spatial representations and the construction of national identities
With Roberto Alessandrini – Salesian Pontifical University
Lecture with projection of images
The birth of the landscape as an autonomous genre anticipates by a few decades the revolution in spatial perception that occurred in the West after the discovery of America and the iconographic revolution provoked, especially in northern Europe, by the Lutheran Reformation. The iconoclastic twist of Protestantism, albeit with nuances, variants and exceptions, created the conditions for a new non-religious clientele, which favoured landscapes, seascapes, portraits and genre scenes. Nature, from time to time reassuring or terrifying, conquers pictorial space and anticipates the romantic elaboration of national landscapes, whose echoes reverberate in the representations still adopted today in tourist promotion and which is revolutionised by the graphics of the euro banknotes.
Roberto Alessandrini teaches Cultural Anthropology at the Pontifical Salesian University in Rome and at the Pratesi University Institute in Soverato (Catanzaro) and collaborates with the UNESCO Chair Education, Growth, Equality at the University of Ferrara. He has translated texts by Girard, France and Le Lionnais, and published essays in Orientamenti Pedagogici, Il confronto letterario, Lifelong, Lifewide Learning and Educazione aperta.

Art Arias
MAR – Sala ‘600
A journey between melodies and paintings, where visual art meets the emotions of opera.
Organised by the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory of Ravenna in collaboration with the Civica Scuola di Musica di Comacchio.
In the heart of the Ravenna Art Museum, the evocative seventeenth-century hall is transformed into an exceptional stage for an unprecedented encounter between music and painting. The students of Maestro Simone Alberghini’s singing class will create a journey through the most famous pages of opera, interweaving the evocative power of the voice with the beauty of visual art in a dialogue between opera and painting that have always influenced and inspired each other.
