Venice acqua alta: "Mose" project to complete 14th C. floodgate vision versus Venetian Lagoon Ecosystem

Venice acqua alta: "MOSE" project to complete 14th C. vision of floodgates to defend lagoon? Will ecosystem survive?

These are questions being asked as one of the world's most ambitious engineering projects gets underway in Venice, which now floods Piazza San Marco 280 days per year.

On September 25th a two-day conference in New York will explore the subject. The conference claims to bring together scientists, academics and "experts" from Italy and the US to discuss M.O.S.E. (Modulo Sperimentale Elettromeccanico, or Experimental Electromechanical Module) — the project intended to protect Venice from floods.

Futurismo! Parma: Magnani Rocca Foundation Parma Italy

Futurismo! celebrating the movement's centenary is running at Parma's Magnani Rocca Foundation until December 8.

Futurismo! showcases masterpieces by every leading figure within the movement. Featuring over 100 items, the exhibition offers visitors an overview of the entire story of the avant-garde movement, from its roots in Divisionism at the end of the 19th century through its creation, rise and eventual fall.

Futurism encompassed painting, sculpture, literature, theater costume and advertising, all of which are covered in the show. On display will be key pieces by pivotal Futurist artists, such as Umberto Boccioni, Giacomo Balla, Gino Severini and Mario Sironi.

The exhibition also charts the creative development of the movement's written manifestos: from its aesthetic emphasis on dynamism in the early years, through its focus on mechanization in the 1920s, until progressing into Aeropittura art in the 1930s, which translated the movement's passion for machinery and speed into flight and aerial velocity.

Another section looks at the role of Futurist ideas and artwork within advertising, with posters, blurbs and books from the 1920s and 1930s, including a famous advertising manifesto by Fortunato Depero, who designed the small Campari Soda bottles still in use today.

Futurismo! follows a string of events across Italy devoted to the centenary of Futurism, which was officially launched in 1909 with the publication of a manifesto by Filippo Tommaso Emilio Marinetti in French daily Le Figaro.

The Parma event is one of just three large-scale exhibitions providing an overview of the entire Futurism movement.

Futurism's rampant colors and violent energy extolled the merits of a new, technologically advanced age. Art historians have long recognized the part played by the movement in shaking up the sleepy turn-of-the-century art world, according it an honored place between the Impressionists and the Cubists.

Julia Roberts Set For an Authentic Pizza Slice in Naples

Naples is set to serve Julia Roberts one of its best pizzas Monday as the actress films a scene from her new film Eat, Pray, Love. The film is based on Elizabeth Gilbert's best-selling 2006 memoir, Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia. Roberts, who is also producing the film, along with Brad Pitt, will enjoy a slice of Pizzeria da Michele Naples pizza with a tourist guide played by Italian actor Luca Argentero.

Crew could be seen moving into the Forcella neighborhood of Naples today. Roberts will bite into her slice of Naples' pizza, the cities most famous food, at the historic Pizzeria da Michele a Forcella pizzeria Monday. Of course, Roberts is no stranger to Pizza movies, as one of her early movies was Mystic Pizza.

Michele a Forcella, founded in 1870, is known for its archetypal 'vera pizza napolitana'.

Taken by the city's lure, the filmmakers have added an extra scene in a church, Pio Monte della Misericordia, housing Caravaggio's famous Sette Opere di Misericordia.

''This film will be very important for promoting the image of Naples and the surrounding region,'' said the director of Campania's film commission, Maurizio Gemma, praising the ''great collaboration'' shown by the local community.


















Asked on her website ''where can I get that pizza you describe in your book,'' Gilbert replies: ''Pizzeria da Michele. Order the double mozzarella. If you go to Naples and don't eat this pizza, please lie to me later and tell me that you did''.
