Palestrina was immensely famous in his day, and his reputation, if anything, increased following his death. Conservative music of the Roman School continued to be written in his style (known as the "prima pratica" in the 17th century), by such students of his as Giovanni Maria Nanino, Ruggiero Giovanelli, Arcangelo Crivelli, Teofilo Gargari, Francesco Soriano and Gregorio Allegri. Before he was 30 he published his first book of masses (1554), dedicated to Julius the 3rd and the following year he was promoted to singer in the Pontifical Choir. But later a decree of the new pope forbade married men to serve in the papal choir,
Hitler approved the finished result, however Goebbels did not like its simplicity and had it redecorated. In July 1933, Speer was commissioned to prepare the Nuremburg Rally where he proposed the Theory of Ruin Value. Speer was made architectural advisor to Hitler’s architect, Ludwig Troost. The pair refurbished the chancellery building in Berlin. During this event Speer and Hitler became close friends and when Troost died in 1934, Speer filled his position as the Party’s Chief Architect.
Discuss the work of Cesare Lombrosso considering the critique of his work Criminological positivism is most famously related with the Italian medical Doctor, Cesare Lombrosso (1835-1909), also known as the father of criminology (Newburn 2007). This essay refers to the research conducted by Lombrosso and the critique it has been subject to over a number of years. Lombrosso’s background and an outline of his original insights and following research into criminality will be discussed, including what he then inspired future Criminologists to go on to explore and find. Lombrosso, born in 1835, was a physician who became a specialist in psychiatry, and also a Professor of legal medicine at the University of Turin. His first criminal insights developed in the 1860’s when he was working as a doctor in the army and the characteristics of the soldiers, however, his name came into Criminological significance with the publication of his first book, ‘The Criminal Man’ (1876).

Artists and Architects in Italy began looking at ancient artefacts, structures and scriptures for inspiration in seek of a new ‘truth’ and thus Humanism was born. This study of classical culture shifted man’s interest from religion to himself as the human body became the subject of interest as they believed that “man is the measure of all things” in stark contrast to the prior emphasis on the secular. Humanism, similar to its Greek predecessor, sought to find the order of the universe and also a new order of architectural language. Figure 1.

The romance of the Italian Renaissance has captivated many historians over the years, but very few have studied the era as extensively as Jacob Burckhardt. Raised in Germany during the nineteenth century, Burckhardt was disenchanted by events such as the Industrial Revolution, which he found to be cold and unemotional. He was originally sent to the University of Basil to study Theology, but lost his faith and decided that he would study Art and History. Detached from his own time, Burckhardt found his life’s passion in the culture, art, and people of the Italian Renaissance. After graduation, Burckhardt taught Art History and it was while he was a professor that he began to publish.
Name: Christian Manley Matriculation Number: 100015637 Course: IR 2005 Essay: How do theorisations derived from Antonio Gramsci’s work help us understand international relations? Tutorial Date and Time: December 2 11:00 Tutor: Jeremy Kleidosty Due: November 28, 2011 Word Count: 2100 Born in Sardinia, the revolutionary Antonio Gramsci grew up in an environment dominated by empirical approaches to science and education.1 However, it was this atmosphere to which Gramsci became opposed. Driven “to educate the new working class created by industry and the First World War”, Gramsci began to be seen as a threat to Italyʼs Fascist government who disagreed with his more communist tendencies.2 Jailed, Antonio Gramsci used his time to produce his most influential work: The Prison Notebooks.3 In this work, Gramsci noted down some of his most provocative political ideas that would eventually influence International Relationsʼ theoristsʼ perspectives on a grander scale. This essay, with particular evaluation on absolute historicism and cultural hegemony, will investigate how the ideas of this early 20th century Marxist have been instrumental to understanding International Relations. All theories are based on a particular perspective someone has come to from experience.4 Often theorists use them in the hope that they will solve problems and create a better future.
Paolo Ucello 1397-1475 Paolo Ucello is a somewhat famous artist from the Renaissance Era. He grew up in Italy and was an artist and mathematician. He was noted for his pioneering work on visual perspective in art, as well as patterning, contrasting value, and foreshortening. Foreshortening is a method of drawing or painting a object or person that is not parallel to the picture plane, so that it seems to recede into space, giving the illusion of three dimensions. Parts of the painting get smaller as the recede into space.
The Moral of the ‘The Prince”, by Niccolo Machiavelli In this intriguing essay, I will look to investigate the moral and the theme behind the book, ‘The Prince” originally written in 1513 by a former Italian Politician Niccolo Machiavelli, and then will attempt to try and show how the teachings of the ‘The Prince’, to our workplace to give it relevance in the present, even though it was written more than half a century year ago. Before going into this essay into detail, it is certainly important to examine who Niccolo Machiavelli was and the reasons as to why he wrote this book. To look at the reasons behind it, and the current political volatile situation in Italy at the time, threats from Spain and France for example. This would have had a direct Impact on Italy and mostly in a city like Florence, with a growing political scene that had suffered for most of it’s life. Plenty of political power and perhaps more importantly the struggle around Machiavelli with lots of different factions looking to take control of the principality.
