ICS President S Perspective - History - Culture
A PUBLICATION OF THE ITALIAN CULTURAL SOCIETYFall 2016 VOLUME 18 ISSUE 1ICS President’s PerspectiveCari amici di ICS,As Richard Cappalli passes the presidential baton to me, he leaves ourorganization in very good health: five hundred-plus members strong, enoughmoney in the bank to underwrite some of our coming events, and a year ofterrific activities for our membership.Still, I accepted this post with some trepidation and only after the formation ofa Presidential Advisory Committee composed of past presidents who promisedto offer me advice. “How then can I fail,” I said to myself, “having Adam, Tomand Richard supporting me?” Not to forget that there are chairpersons andvolunteers in place for our events, films, and Newsletter and our teachers forour Italian classes and, not least, our Board members.All I need now to eliminate any residual fear is the aid of new volunteers to work with ourcommittee chairpersons and Board. In other words, I need only your help, cari amici. Pleaseconsider being a Greeter, an Events Committee member, a future Events co-chair, a Boardmember, a Hospitality check-in volunteer, a wine pourer. You know the axiom, “Molte mani fannoleggero il lavoro.” Grazie mille per il vostro aiuto quesť anno.Dr. Giuseppe CrivelliPresident, ICSIl Rinascimento e l’UmanesimoIl Rinascimento è stato un movimento versol’autoemancipazione e la riaffermazione deidiritti naturali della ragione e dell’intelletto. Èstato il decadimento simultaneo della Chiesa edell’Impero, lo sviluppo delle nazionalità, lasostituzione del capitalismo mercantile alfeudalismo, l’estensione dell’esplorazione edell’istruzione, e il cambiamento dal sistemad’astronomia tolemaico a quello copernicano.È stato un periodo di transizione, fusione epreparazione, e sebbene magnificamentecreativo nella sua nuova forza, non è stato deltutto originale.L’umanesimo era una filosofia o attitudineriguardante gli esseri umani, le loro prodezzee interessi, piuttosto che gli esseri astratti e iproblemi di teologia. La convinzione internadell’uomo del Rinascimento era che dovevaasserirsi tramite le sue proprie condizioni. Chidunque erano gli uomini del Rinascimento?The Renaissance and HumanismThe Renaissance was a movement toward selfemancipation and the reassertion of thenatural rights of reason and the senses. It wasthe simultaneous decay of the Church and theEmpire, the development of nationalities, thesubstitution of mercantile capitalism forfeudalism, the extension of exploration andeducation, and the change from Ptolemaic toa Copernican system of astronomy. It was aperiod of transition, fusion and preparationand, though magnificently creative in its newstrength, it was not altogether original.Humanism was a philosophy or attitude thatis concerned withhuman beings, theirachievements and interests, rather than withthe abstract beings and problems of theology.The inner conviction of the man of theRenaissance was that he must assert himselfon his own terms. Who then were Men of theRenaissance?Continued on page 10

Join us for its inaugural eventfeaturing speaker Carol Jonson’s thought-provokingperspective on the Davids of Florence. RenaissanceFlorence enshrined the Biblical hero David as the symbolof the city. David’s strength, courage and youthfulconfidence in conquering the fearsome giant Goliath –and the fact that justice and right were clearly on David’sside - were all part of the image that Florence wanted toproject to its neighbors. Florence commissioned severalstatues of David. The artists’ interpretations are incrediblydiverse: Verrocchio’s bronze warrior, Donatello’s serenemarble and his later smooth and beautiful youth with thefantastical Florentine shepherd’s hat; all three are in TheBargello. And then came Michelangelo’s monumentalmasterpiece – a miracle carved from a flawed block ofmarble – the 14-foot-high David, which today standsproudly in the Accademia. This program will look at eachof Florence’s Davids and the artists who gave them life.For special dietary needs, please contact event chair at least 1 week before the luncheon.4

We’ve puttogether a program of musical delights to enjoy and savor. Here’s whatour members said after last year’s program: “What a wonderfulperformance . such a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon! BravoMarco! Please bring him back!”We believe Marco Fiorante is the complete package. A young tenor fromApulia, Italy, he is already a confident, compelling performer. Marco’svoice is clear and powerful, and he had a playful stage presence thatcaptivated his audience. In the aria Questa o quella from Rigoletto, hegave the Duke the right blend of virility and luster. Later in the programhe sang Core ‘ngrato with daunting power that was matched by sheerpassion.A talent like this doesn’t come along very often. Indeed he promises tobecome a tenor with a stellar career ahead of him. We look with greatanticipation to “An Afternoon of Italian Classics” featuring MarcoFiorante and Friends. The program will include a blend of popular arias,duets and Italian songs that will bring back wonderful memories.Marco will be joined by composer/accordionist Vito DiSalvo andsupporting musicians.Dr. Tom Turicchi will act as Master of Ceremonies.5
“Intriguing Scoundrels in Dante’s Inferno: their stories and their fates”Monday, January 23, 2017Franco Mormando, Ph.D.Naples Botanical GardenChair: Judy LaMelzaPrice: 40Doors Open: 3:00 p.m.Reception followed by LectureCome join Dr. Franco Mormando, esteemed professor and scholar at BostonCollege, on a journey to visit the “evil-doers” who dwell in the underworld ofDante’s Inferno.Dante's La Divina Commedia is, by any reckoning, one of the greatest works ofWestern literature. As T.S. Eliot remarked, "Dante and Shakespeare share theworld; there is no third."The greatness of Dante's epic resides in the beauty of its poetry, in theprofundity of its moral and political thought, in its dramatically vividrecreation of the afterlife, and, not least of all, in its wonderfully depictedcharacters who people his Hell, Purgatory and Heaven and who encapsulatethe worst and the best of humanity. Professor Mormando's slide lecture willfocus on the intriguing scoundrels and other evil-doers whom the pilgrimDante encounters during his frightening but purifying journey through theunderworld. Who are they? What did they do to earn eternal damnation? And why do they continue tofascinate readers even today, seven hundred years after Dante's death?Le Nozze di Lorenzo: A Wedding BanquetSaturday, February 25, 2017The Club at Heritage BayDoors open: 6:00 p.m.Chairs:The Diorios and the CrivellisPre-Dinner Festivities: 6:00 p.m.Price: 95 per person.Dress: Renaissance Costume preferredPiero de’ Medici and Lucrezia Tornabuoni of FlorenceandJacopo and Maddalena Orsini of Monterotondo and BraccianoCordially invite you to attendThe Wedding Banquet of their ChildrenLorenzo and ClariceJune 4, 1449At the Medici Palace, FlorenceHis Holiness, Pope Paul II PresidingPiero de’ Medici e Lucrezia Tornabuoni di FirenzeeJacopo e Maddalena Orsini di Monterotondo e di BraccianoVi invitano cordialmente a partecipareal Banchetto Nuziale dei loro figliLorenzo e ClariceIl 4 giugno 1449Palazzo Medici, FirenzeSua Santità il Papa Paolo II Presiede6
“Personalities of ICS”.Pat and Harry ColburnFrom 1974 through 1976 my family and I had the goodfortune to occupy the top floor of The AmericanConsulate in Florence where I served as the consularofficer for the regions of Tuscany and Emilia Romagna,and acted as the US representative to the Republic ofSan Marino. Aside from residing in one of the mostbeautiful cities in the world, and the most beautifulAmerican Consulate, I was fortunate in having one ofthe shortest commutes to work. Housed in the historicPalazzo Canevaro, The US Consulate is located adjacentto the Arno River in Central Florence. The building,constructed in 1857, is the last of a series of residentialhouses built in the city during the 19th century and wasthe work of the famous Florentine architect, GiuseppePoggi.The American Consulate in Florence1974Florence was the first capital of a reunited Italy and thePalazzo Canevaro served as the French Embassy from 1865 until 1870. In 1900 the property waspurchased by Giuseppe Canevaro, the Duke of Zoagli and it remained in the Canevaro family until itwas bought in 1947 by the United States Government.The first US consul in Florence after the war was Walter Orebaugh. He negotiated with the Duke, whowas in financial difficulty as a result of the destruction of the war. Consul Orebaugh used counterpartfunds (money paid to the United States by the postwar government of Italy for assistance rendered,which had to be spent within the Republic of Italy). The result of this exchange was that the UnitedStates obtained a well situated historic property without any cost to the United States tax payer. Duringthe negotiations for the sale, the Duke requested that he retain only paintings of family members. Allother items within the buildings, including statuary, paintings, dishes, glassware, etc., were transferredto the United States Government.The property we obtained by this transaction consisted of the Palazzo building itself, an interior walledgarden, and the subsidiary building with garages and servants’ quarters. In the main building theground floor currently consists of the office of the Consul General and a reception area for Americancitizen services: i.e. passport renewal and issuance, welfare services for citizens, and the visa issuanceoffice for foreign nationals wishing to travel to the United States.The grand entrance, facing the Arno River, opens to a magnificent staircase leading from the first floorto the Piano Nobile which is the residence of the Consul General. Elaborately decorated with frescoes,paintings and antique furniture, it is a suitable entertainment location for diplomatic functions. On thisfloor there is also an elaborate ballroom with a music box (a small room and alcove above the mainballroom from which an orchestra could be located to entertain the guests of the Duke.)Above the Piano Nobile is a second apartment for the Consul, the assistant to the Consul General. Thisspace consists of 10 rooms furnished with family antiques. Onthe top of the building is a terrace with a 360 view of the entirecity. It is a spectacular experience to witness the Fuochi di SanGiovanni on the feast day of Saint John the Baptist, the patronSaint of Florence, as we did.Across the garden in the second building there are threeapartments on the upper floor, and on the street level is theOffice of Commercial Services for the consulate.Recent visitors to Florence have told me that the property is nowringed with security barriers making it difficult to approach andenter the building . the price we pay for security.Harry CoburnPhotos were taken by Pat and Harry in 1974 whileserving in Florence.7
