Pavia, town of art, cradle of culture
YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THIS PRESENTATION HERE: http://www.slideshare.net/michaelasanda/pavia-town-of-art-cradle-of-cultureThank you!The “Studium” in Pavia was founded in the 10th centuty and it is reported in Lotario’s Diploma in 961. It was reorganized four centuries later by the Visconti family who settled it in the present place and gave it the statute of a free University. Petrarca, whom Galeazzo the Second had entrusted with the task of collecting the Library of the Visconteo Castle, gives a similar description of Pavia in a letter to Boccaccio in 1365: “The position of the town is much more striking than other towns [...], Pavia emerges from the plain, just enough to dominate it and, stretching on a hillside, the town raises its numerous towers to the sky in such a free and panoramic view that I do not believe another lowland town has a more magnificent and wonderful sight”.

YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THIS PRESENTATION HERE: http://www.slideshare.net/michaelasanda/pavia-the-exhibition-renoir-la-vie-en-peintureThank you!Devoted to the beauty, the joy of life, the triumph of the senses and vitality: these are the terms in which it could be identified Pierre Auguste Renoir, who said openly that his philosophy is expressive: “For me, a framework should be something pleasant, cheerful and beautiful, so beautiful! There are already too many unpleasant things in life that is not the case to create even the others”. The exhibition held in Pavia brings together a select and unique series of paintings and drawings by Renoir, some of which have never been exhibited in Italy, featuring works from galleries around the world, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, Columbus Museum of Art (Ohio) and the Pompidou Centre in Paris. Of note is a series of still life works by the great Impressionist master.
