Here is the most important autobiography from Renaissance Italy and one of the most spirited and colorful from any time or place, in a translation widely recognized as the most faithful to the energy and spirit of the original.Benvenuto Cellini was both a beloved artist in sixteenth-century Florence and a passionate and temperamental man of action who was capable of brawling, theft, and murder. He counted popes, cardinals, kings, and dukes among his patrons and was the adoring friend of—as he described them—the “divine” Michelangelo and the “marvelous” Titian, but was as well known for his violent feuds. At age twenty-seven he helped defend the Castel Sant’Angelo in Rome, and his account of his imprisonment there (under a mad castellan who thought he was a bat), his escape, recapture, and confinement in “a cell of tarantulas and venomous worms” is an adventure equal to any other in fact or fiction. But it is only one in a long life lived on a grand scale.Cellini’s autobiography is not merely the record of an extraordinary life but also a dramatic and evocativeaccount of daily life in Renaissance Italy, from its lowest taverns to its highest royal courts.

A mix of futurism la Metropolis, fantasy la Batman and quotes from Piranesis Carceri, juxtaposed in the form of photo montages, enhanced withrobots, a helicopter, a shark and the winged vehicle of a pop star Pope, was how the Neue Zrcher Zeitung described this astonishing Salzburg Festival production of Berliozs Benvenuto Cellini. The high-calibre cast, headed by Burkhard Fritz as the temperamental Renaissance artist and the 26-year-old Latvian soprano Maija Kovalevska as Teresa, the w

With his affinity for the 16th-century sculptor Benvenuto Cellinis advocacy of artistic and personal freedom, Hector Berlioz went straight for the grand gesture with his first completed opera. Returning to it years after initial production debacles, Berlioz stated that he would never again find such verve and Cellinian impetuosity, nor such a variety of ideas. The plot revolves around Cellinis wooing of Teresa, a match frustrated at every opportunity by his rival, the cowardly Fieramosca. Be

Although there exist a number of studies on prison writing from various countries, Sentences is the first comprehensive examination of autobiographical prison literature from Italy. Klopp has assembled a gallery of fascinating portraits in this chronological survey of prison writings by more than three dozen Italian political figures and intellectuals - including Cellini, Casanova, Tasso, the Martyrs of Mantua, Enrichetta Caracciolo, Gramsci - all of whom were imprisoned for their political convictions. Drawing on prison writings from periods that include the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the Risorgimento, the rise of socialism and women's rights, and the years of Fascism, Sentences makes a valuable contribution to social and political history.Through clear and sensitive analysis of sample passages Klopp is able to draw insightful conclusions, pointing out the rich intertextual allusions among these diverse prison texts. This survey of writers from different centuries, who espoused very different political points of view, reveals common traits that unite these otherwise dissimilar individuals. A final chapter discussing letters composed by Aldo Moro while he was held hostage by the terrist Red Brigades in the 1970s is especially provocative because it places him within the tradition of writing by individuals imprisoned by the state.

Die exzentrische Lebensgeschichte des Kunstlers und Verbrechers Benvenuto Cellini. Hardcover ed. Still in seal, as new. ISBN 9783806241471.

Benvenuto Olivieri was a Florentine banker active in Rome during the first half of the sixteenth century. A self made man without any great family patrimony, he rose to prominence during the pontificate of Pope Paul III, becoming involved with a variety of papal enterprises which allowed him to get to the heart of the mechanisms governing the papal finances. Amassing a considerable fortune along the way, Olivieri soon built himself a role as co-ordinator of the appalti (revenue farms) and became one of the most powerful players in the complex network that connected bankers and the papal revenue. This book explores the indissoluble link that had developed between the papacy and bankers, illuminating how the Apostolic Chamber, increasingly in need of money, could not meet its debts, without farming out the rights to future income. Utilising documents from a rich corpus of unpublished sources in Florence and Rome, Guidi Bruscoli unravels the web of financial connections that bound together Florentine and Genoese bankers with the papacy, and looks at how money was raised and the appalti managed.

Neu -Diebstahl, Mord, Sodomie - es gibt kaum ein Verbrechen, das man dem Künstler Benvenuto Cellini nicht angelastet hat. Für seine Vergehen wurde er in der Engelsburg inhaftiert und sogar zum Tode verurteilt. Er galt als Exzentriker, als »enfant terrible« der italienischen Renaissance. Streitsüchtig und unangepasst soll er gewesen sein. Und doch schuf er mit seiner Perseus-Skulptur und dem Salzfass Werke, die zu den Höhepunkten der abendländischen Kunst zählen. Genie und Wahnsinn, nahe beieinander. Zu seinem 450. Todestag liegt nun endlich die erste deutschsprachige Biografie über den schillernden »uomo universale« Cellini vor. Uwe Neumahr arbeitet die historische Persönlichkeit unter dem Firnis der Legende heraus, blättert den Kosmos von Cellinis Schaffen auf und erzählt das abenteuerliche Leben des Künstlers, das einem Roman gleicht. Die spannende Lebensbeschreibung entfaltet ein weites Panorama der Medici-Herrschaft in Florenz. 320 pp. Deutsch
