Commedia Dell' Arte and Moliere Commedia Dell’ Arte was a distinctive form of stage art in the 1600’s and the famous playwright Moliere furthered its acceptance and import throughout his life. Originating in Italy, the popular art form spread quickly with the aid of traveling troops. One area that was greatly affected by this form of theater was France. The French people adored this theater and made it fit in with their culture. This can be seen in an essay by Gustave Lanson when he states, “In Paris Italian farce had replaced French farce.” The success of Commedia Dell’ Arte during the reign of Charles IX is well-known” (Lanson, 137).
IN continuing to be back as one of the fashion icons, the ente nazionale della moda (national fashion board), was founded with the purpose of “Italianizing” fashion (Barański, pg. 287).

The thing I was touch by the costumes design because of the fact I like fashion, how they would match up the costumes with the story. I think that would take talent and think critical real serious. Maybe one day I could come of across of design a costume for somebody play I think that would be big. After learn how the space, scenery, and lighting is the big issues in theater, with having all those thing in mind the audience could figure out what the play is about and some people now these day can’t always figure out what going by
This contrast shows the difference the overt nature of Lucy's mind compared to the covert mind of Miss Bartlett; Lucy opens herself up to Italy (emphasised by the way Lucy 'fl[u]ng wide the windows...lean[ing] out into the sunshine with beautiful hills”), and sees the lights 'dance[] in the Arno' which could be seen to represent her want of independence and the freedom as these lights do that 'dance' without struggle. Lucy attempts to find her way back to society in finding Mr Beebe however Italy, represented by Phaeton, has other ideas instead leading her to her heart; George. Forster conveys the goodness of seeing George by showing it as a light at the end of a tunnel: “the view was forming at last; she could discern the river, the golden plain”. As Lucy “fell out of the wood” “light and beauty enveloped her” “she fell into a little open terrace”; Forster conveys how Lucy had “fallen” out of the world of social conventions and niceties into a romantic “open” and “light” terrace covered with violets (a symbol of love and faithfulness). The watery imagery that ensues emphasises the
And if you happen to be in the business of selling something Oprah is passionate about, then you are in for a windfall. Her influence, however, goes beyond spiking retail sales. That is simply a fortunate by-product of sharing what she is passionate about and she is passionate about more than just products. She is also passionate about philanthropy and education. As with everything else Winfrey is passionate about, she is able to inspire others to be passionate about philanthropy and education too.
I think this adaption of the play was very good, and it gave the younger people a new way of seeing the play. The 2013 Romeo and Juliet, directed by Carlo Carlei, was an okay adaption of the R+J play. Carlei didn't do anything unique or new to the scenery. Carlei wanted to show the watchers the true story of R+J by making it take place in Verona, Italy. Carlei made the scenery resemble the looks of how it would look like in the 1500's.
Additionally, the word “piazza” denotes a porch or veranda in the South, but it also denotes an open square or public place in a city of Italy. The word cannot fail to strike into an English reader’s mind a Romantic aura of being in (Medieval or Renaissance) Italy. Thus, the title as well as the form seems to prepare the reader for experiencing something familiar yet foreign. The drama between the gentleman and the lady presents a vivid, concrete scene. The gentleman pulls while the young lady pushes.
Cavour Vs. Garibaldi The idea of nationalism dominated Western civilization during the period 1850 to 1871. Liberal ideas spread viciously from France and Britain throughout Europe. French reforms gave Italy an enormous motivation to reach liberalism. Eager to be freed from foreign domination, Italy underwent a series of political events which established the Kingdom of Italy in 1861 (1). The Italian Unification, also known as Risorgimento, was mainly lead by two important figureheads: Count Camillo di Cavour and Giuseppe Garibaldi.
This style originated in Italy during the Baroque period. This style was created as a result of the Counter Reformation and the Council of Trent, which set guidelines to which Baroque paintings were supposed to follow. The Counter Reformation was an era in which the church relied on religious orders like the Jesuits to guide them. The Council of Trent created these rules to help spread their art ideas and to influence other periods to come. In Caravaggio’s painting of The Martyrdom of Saint Mathew he uses a violent contrast of light to keep the eye of the viewer on the subject of the painting.
Discuss the importance of reputation in Othello Othello was written in a time when society was structured in a certain way, and being able to transcend this hierarchy was no easily done. Although Shakespeare is famous for his stories of love breaking barriers, such as Romeo and Juliet, they are nevertheless present throughout. Reputation, therefore, plays a key role in each character’s position and the characters are aware of this, creating different outcomes. Reputation is very important to Othello, as it is all that saves him from the criticism of the Venetians. Othello is well aware of this, assuring Iago that “my services which I have done the signiory shall out tongue his complaint”.
