L\u2019immagine della prima attrice italiana\u00a0fra Otto e Novecento<\/strong> by Marianna Zannoni. This study of leading ladies in Italian theatre at the\u00a0turn of the 20th century focuses on great divas (Adelaide Ristori, Eleonora Duse and Tina Di\u00a0Lorenzo) and the way that they were portrayed in a system popularising images and creating\u00a0myths capable of influencing social customs.<\/p>\n The series will end on 23 March<\/strong> with two books produced by the Institute of Music: Musical\u00a0Improvisation and Open Forms in the Age of Beethoven edited<\/strong> by Gianmario Borio and Angela\u00a0Carone, and Studies in Historical Improvisation. From Cantare super Librum to Partimenti<\/strong> edited\u00a0by Massimiliano Guido. The first book explores the central role of improvisation in both\u00a0public occasions and the private lives of many artists from the late 18th and to mid-19th century,\u00a0while the second book deals with the study of improvisation as theorised and practiced\u00a0from the 16th to the 20th century.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":98192,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"cini_tax_event_categories":[1470],"cini_tax_institutes":[49,21,20],"cini_tax_event_locations":[1464],"class_list":["post-64508","cini_events","type-cini_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cini_tax_event_categories-events","cini_tax_institutes-institute-for-the-history-of-venice","cini_tax_institutes-music-en","cini_tax_institutes-theatre-and-opera","cini_tax_event_locations-island-of-san-giorgio-maggiore"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
