The beautiful Rome’s Teatro dell’Opera (http://www.operaroma.it/stagione/stagione_2011_2012/balletti) will present from the 20^th to the 30^th of December, one of the greatest Christmas classics; the Nutcracker ballet by the Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893), without which it is almost impossible to imagine the festivities that celebrate the Winter Solstice in West, something like without the traditional lights that for a few weeks miraculously transform the look of the cities, or the magical gifts and good wishes that citizens exchanged all over the world.

On the stage of the famous Roman theater, place of the emotional time lived a few months ago during the performance of Nabucco de Verdi, held to commemorate the one hundred fifty years of the Italian unification, when the famous orchestra director Riccardo Muti, broke a habit rooted in him and went to ask the public to join the chorus of the song Va pensiero after making a parallel between their situation, which in times of the romantic composer de Verdi used as an allegory of the situation of the oppressed people of Italy, and the transalpine country’s culture under Berlusconi’s government in these words: “I have lived my life traveling extensively throughout the world over 60 years, and as Italian I feel ashamed of what is happening in my country. So he accepted the request to make Va Pensiero again. This is not only for the patriotic joy I feel, but because tonight, when I directed the choir singing ‘Oh, my beautiful and lost country’ I thought that If it continues like that, if we do not help the culture, our country will be truly ‘beautiful and lost’, -on the same stage, we said, is displayed, as in so many countries for more than a century during the last days of this beautiful and disturbing story of broken toys, robots, objects that in parallel worlds come to life and always happy haunting and fascinating of E.T.A Hoffmann immortalized by an envelope whose hypnotic music is delicate and abysmally introduces viewers to the latest galleries leaving blood, aided by a dreamy choreography non-easily forgotten, suspended in a somnambulistic state open, as befits the days that advertise and serve threshold to the birth of the Sun and the New Year, to the astonishment, the exceptional, the mystery and magic, which corresponds to a state of grace.

Uncertainty about the consistency of the territory that supposedly separates the waking and sleeping spaces, woven here with movements, words and images as a happy musical blanket of change that has the power of imagination through the conventional perception of things to access the true life, the one that poets and the Gnostics speak about, is characteristic of all truly spiritual sense or even if you feel in communion with others, religious.

It would be difficult to find a musical band which encompasses the notions of deterritorialization and nomadism so well as the unique Gogol Bordello, who will offer one of their magnificent accoustic concerts in the Orion venue in Rome on the forthcoming 10th of December http://www.gogolbordello.com/tour/future/

Lead by the Ukrainian actor, model, thinker, writer, songwriter and, especially, unforgettable performer of gypsy descent Eugene Hütz, Gogol Bordello became, since its origins in 1999 in the Lower East Side of New York, into one of the cult bands of the last few years par excellence. They are famous for their mercurial and galvanizing shows, true geological upheavals which gave the feeling of shaking the whole neighbourhood, and which gave the few attendants who packed out the venue where they played night after night, the feeling of being the most privileged beings on the planet.

Large part of their merit, down to no small part to their songs, which have truly intelligent, acrimonious and provocative lyrics, lies in creating a totally new scene which, in some way, mixed the artistic and musical New York avant-garde with the immigrant communities that have always characterized the city around a unique and extraordinarily energetic sound which collected the spirit of punk and gypsy music.

Today, the members of Gogol Bordello, a true ‘United Nations on wheels’ to quote Hütz, come from such different places as Israel, Russia, Ukraine, Ecuador,  Scotland or Los Angeles, and the plurality of nationalities is one of the keys to their sounds and the title of their latest studio album, the great and mostly accoustic ‘Trans-Continental Hustle’.

In the origin of the band, however, we find two events of colossal and transforming impact which took place in 1986, which are like electric sound collisions of nuclear proportions. The first one was the arrival of Sonic Youth in Kiev, whose concert definitively convinced Eugene Hütz of his vocation as a punk musician, and the second one was the tragedy of Chernobyl, responsible for the beginning of a personal diaspore for the leader of the future Gogol Bordello, which took him, in an odyssey of 11 years, to the city of New York after having gone through the caravan of the gypsy clan of his grandmother (where supposedly his uncle had shown him the circus art of training bears and where he assimilated the nomadic lifestyle which he would always show off), different refugee camps in search of asylum in Poland, Austria and Italy and, finally, Vermont, a city where he’d form his first band, The Fags, very influenced by the sound of, apart from the aforementioned Sonic Youth, The Clash, Birthday Party, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Henry Rollins, Mano Negra and Iggy Pop among others.

‘Trans-Continental Hustle’, whose songs will make up most of the concert in Rome, were written in Brazil where, strangely enough, Hütz seems to have found, through a girlfriend from this very country, a place where he can maybe grow old one day with the person he loves.

Paul Oilzum

Its sound, maybe even more in its accoustic version, is everything but domesticated. If you go to see it when you rent apartments in Rome you’ll be able to find out that Gogol Bordello are still a band in an absolute state of grace.

Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome presents an interesting exhibition about Robert Filliou, which is part of the activities of the Fluxus Biennial. The exhibition of the works by  Filliou, is curated by Achille Bonito and opens to the public free of of charge from the 2^nd of December to 15^th of January, 2012.

Filliou’s work is intimately connected to words. He was a poet; despite his artistic work it covered a wider world than poetry. Considered an innovative and disruptive, his work marked by iconoclastic aesthetic interest to make art a permanent state of creation, where creation was the limit to the imagination.

The organizers invited the Italian artist, living in London, Londra Sandrine Nicolettato to the opening of the exhibition. The artist, who will perform one of her performance in which public participation is critical as an actor, showing an interesting redefining the proposal to transform it into an environment of social, physical and mental health.

Robert Filliou was born in Sauve, France, in 1926. In the mid-40 he moved to live in the United States and studied economics at the University of California. After his graduation, he worked in the United Nations program for the development of Korea. In the early 60′s, his life has a twist that will change his career and his way of thinking, to join a group of poets and artists who are beginning to question the system of domination imposed and seek through art, liberating look, far from the alienation of the consumer society.

Among those friends were the dancer and Romanian-born Swiss poet, Daniel Spoerri, whose real name was Daniel Isaac Feinstein, and was known as one of the most important figures of postwar art. Along with Spoerri made Piège à mots (1964), which corresponds to a visual montage that is part of everyday expressions of speech.

In 1962, he decided to join the stream of Fluxus art, is presented in the Misfits, London Festival, where he presented a device made from bicycle wheels as a roulette was organized with words for poems, which caught the attention and the attraction of the public who enjoyed writing ephemeral poems.

The Fluxus (a word which in Latin means flow), arises in the 60′s and covers all expressions of art and its main purpose is to refuse to look at art as a commodity. Its initiator was the Lithuanian George Maciunas, who defined it as the anti-art and includes all materials breaking all the existing categorization of art.

Between 1965 and 1968, Filliou installed an opened  a space to create with George Brecht. This consisted of a workshop where artists and creators could attend to share all creative perspectives about the southern French city of Villefranche-sur-Mer.

during the 70’s, Filliou worked in various media, materials and forms of his work, including video works such as those in Canada. A piece of work with his own image that reproduces the codes of irony, so characteristic of Fluxus.

Until January 8th, 2012 the MAXXI Foundation in Rome exhibits Omaggio all’Arte Povera organized around the installations of  Gilberto Zorio and Jannis Kounellis in dialogue with the sculpture displayed at the Museum of Giuseppe Penone. The exhibition is part of the curatorial work of Germano Cenlant who coined the term Arte Povera.

This exhibition is part of the celebrations taking place on the occasion of the 150 years of the unification of Italy, and nothing is better than to indulge into a deep discussion about this  artistic movement born in Italy in the mid-60′s of the  XX century, spreading a worldwide  generation of artists, most notably Giuseppe Penone.

Arte Povera was created as an artistic movement that is seeking commercial art as opposed to minimalism and pop art, rejecting  reductionism of the media, working with waste materials and simple things such as wood, leaves, and pieces of all kinds of recycling materials. In this quest to give a greater representation to art it seeks public participation in it  by provocative works that compel the viewer to get involved in the art.

Giuseppe Penone Garesio was born in Italy in 1947. A Professor at the Ecole des Beau-Arts in Paris though his studio is in Turin. His work has been linked to nature and especially trees and their settlement within the land. They are identified as a  system similar to human life, where birth, procreation and death constantly loop. In his first writings he asks whether soil can absorb and express human soul. Since then, the artist has continued to question earth, understood as a universal substance. From his first works in the 60s, Penone’s productions has been marked by nature and the focus of its concerns. His most famous art piece is The Alberi Trees.

Jannis Kounellis was born in Piraeus, Greece in 1936. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and from the beginning was an “enphant terrible” in the art community by questioning the limits imposed by academia as well as a avid critic. In 1963 he begins using unconventional materials in his works, including live animals, fire, earth, burlap, etc.. He mocks limits by using window frames, door frames, bed frames and other items that were out of the conventionalism as part of his work. In 1967 he joined the Arte Povera movement, two years later he caused concern as he exposed horses as part of his work at the Galerie l’penthouse in Rome.

Gilberto Zorio Adorno was born in Italy in 1944. He is known for his sculptures with recycled materials , though not part of the Arte Povera movement, he is on the periphery of it. The work displayed is part of the art collection of UniCredit Commodatum and was given to MAXXI for this exhibition that rediscovers the work of these three great contemporary artists of the Italian scene.

From October 5, at the Scuderie del Quirinale in Rome you can see the exhibition, Filippino Lippi e Sandro Botticelli nella Firenze del ’400 (Lippi and Botticelli in Florence in the fifteenth century). The exhibition will be open to the public until January 15, 2012 and is curated by Alessandro Cecchi, director of the Palatine Gallery in Florence.

This exhibition aims to present to the public nearly 34 years of incessant activity of the master Filippino Lippi between Prato, Florence and Rome. He was a successful painter even in the dark time of Savonarola, the inquisitor. He stands out for the amount and quality of his works, despite being initially overshadowed his master, Botticelli.

Organised via the collaboration of the Polo Museale Fiorentino, and the Fondo Edifici di Culto, together with private associations such as “Friends of Florence”, the exhibition offers a unique opportunity to enjoy the masterpieces of these two great Tuscan painters. These paintings are vital parts of both human and artistic history and they offer a unique opportunity for comparing some of the great works by these two geniuses. The exhibition analyzes the relationship between the two masters in the context of the time and place in which they lived and worked: Florence in 1500, a city that was buzzing with artistic zeal and innovation.

Filippino Lippi was born in Prato, near Florence in 1457. His parents were a monk and a nun. He was named Filippino to distinguish himself from his father, Fra Filippo Lippi, who was a famous and well-respected painter in his time.

Botticelli was born in Florence in 1445, and began as an apprentice in the workshop of Fra Filippo Lippi, from whom he learned a great deal. In fact, many of Botticelli’s early works have been attributed to his teacher. Years later Botticelli would become teacher to Filippino, who worked in his studio. In turn, his early works closely resemble those of Botticelli and are usually attributed to the pseudonym “Friend of Sandro.”

The exhibition revolves mainly around the works of these 2 artists, although some other painters of the time are also included, such as Raffaellino Del Garbo, Piero Di Cosimo and Filippo Lippi.

The exhibition also includes the final period of Lippi’s artistic life, when he worked in Rome and painted the Caraza Chapel cycle. It was during this time that the Grotesque style began to have an influence, making for paintings that were mysterious, fantastic and disturbing, linked to the dark atmosphere that Savoranola’s inquisition had brought about.

Among the masterpieces that you can see in this exhibition are “La Madonna col Bambino e storie di Sant’Anna” (1452-53) by Lippi’s father, taken from the Palatine Gallery in Florence; “Madonna en Adorazione del bambino”, (1478), by Filippino Lippi and provided by the Uffizi Gallery in Florence; “L’Apparizione della Vergine a san Bernardo“, (1486), now in the Badia Fiorentina in Florence or “Madonna Strozzi” (1485) from the Metropolitan in New York.

Another highlight is Botticelli’s “Adorazione dei Magi” (1475-76) which is also provided by the Uffizi Gallery.

To the north of the city, on the river Tevere (Tiber) there’s the Ponte Milvio, the oldest bridge in Rome. Its history begins in the 2nd century BC, when the consulate Caius Cladius Nero ordered it to be built so that the Via Flaminia could cross the river. Since then, it’s been a witness of a great battle, when here, the Emperor Constantine I, defeated Maxentius in 312, as well as going through various reconstructions. Its last restoration took place in the 19th century, after Garibaldi decided to demolish it to stop the French Army, although it still preserves the three original arches.

However, young love and a novel by Federico Moccia have turned it into a tourist attractive and a pilgrimage site. In 2006, this Italian writer, who enjoyed great popularity among the country’s youth, published a new book, ‘Ho voglia di te’ (‘I want you’). In it, a young couple place a padlock on one of the streetlights on the bridge and through the key into the river to make their love eternal. The same author confessed that the night before the publication of the book he put a padlock on the bridge with the initials of the protagonists, to give more realism to hist story.

The book became a sales hit, surpassing the million copies sold in Italy, and the young Romans began to emulate Step and Gin, the literary couple, placing padlocks non-stop on the streetlights of the bridge. The phenomenon began to extend itself quickly to other places, trespassing frontiers and, at present, padlocks invade bridges all over Europe. With the curious ritual arrive the problems, with an eternal controversy emerging among who want to ban it, because they consider it damage to the patrimony, and who want to allow it because they believe it’s a tourist catch. Specifically in Rome, one of the streetlights fell down in 2007 due to the weight of the padlocks. The authorities then decided to place metal columns with chains along the bridge so that the young ones could place their padlocks there, and carry on the tradition without damaging the environment.

What’s true is that the surroundings of the Ponte Melvio have benefited from this fashion and its popularity has increased. The area offers tourist attractions in itself which are worthy of a visit, whether or not you’re in love. The third Sunday of every month, they celebrate an antique market along the Via Lungotevere Capoprati, which goes from the Ponte Milvio to the Ponte Duca D’Aosta, ideal for collectors and to feel part of the authentic Italian lifestyle.

The neighbourhood is a mix of traditional and modern establishments which attract a diverse crowd, from teenagers to sophisticated 30-somethings, with a minority of tourists. At night, the streets fill up with musicians, jewelry stands, kebab sellers and, of course, padlocks! For a price between 2 and 5 euros, you can seal your love on the bridge.

Address:  Lungotevere Salvo D’Acquisto (south side) y Via Capoprati (north side)

How to get there: The Ponte Milvio is far from the centre, so I recommend that you check out the Rome public transport website http://www.atac.roma.it/ from where you can indicate your starting point and it will make it easier to plan your itinerary.

Whether you’re a romantic or you like to enjoy places which aren’t yet invaded by tourists, you should undoubtedly book one of our apartments in Rome and get to know the Ponte Milvio.

When you travel with your family, you have to look for ideas for everyone of all ages can enjoy. Rome is a city which has everything so that no one is left out of the fun and here are some tips so that you can take them into account for your next trip.

The museums are always a must-go, especially if you go to Rome. In each of them you can find the base of Western civilization and I can assure you that your children will enjoy them as much as you.

The ruins of the Colosseum are another great bet for fun. There you can see a piece of Roman history, which was built as an amphitheatre in the 1st century AD as a tribute to the Flavian Dynasty, which later took the name of Colosseum when they built a statue to the colossus Nero, which doesn’t exist anymore. That and other stories can be told to you by guides, and they can entertain you with all the range of activities which took place there and which Hollywood has exploited in a majestic way.

The Catacombs is another trip back in time to get to know and entertain yourself with the thousands of stories which deal with the life lead by the Christians. There are three places where you can get a guided tour: the Capuchin Crypt, which is a place strangely decorated with human bones; the church of San Clemente, with ruins which are 17 metres deep, and the catacombs of Domitilia or Callixtus.

You can also go on group bicycle tours in this city full of history and corners which cannot be missed. For that you can find various rental and tour bicycle services, such as the one offered by Bici Bacio, which is both for adults and children.

But since Rome is much more, and surely your teenage sons will want to go shopping, the best thing to do is to go close to the Fontana di Trevi, on via delle Muratte and De Lavatore, where you can window shop as much as you like. You can see marble busts, a clock of Murano glass, jewelry, clothes and various gifts. All at a good price.

If you want to show off, you can take your family where the most luxurious shops are, around the Piazza de Spagna, Via Fattina, Via Condotti or Via Borgogna, where you can find Gucci, Dior, Emporio Armani, Bvlgari, Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana and Cartier, among other high class designer shops.

Good quality clothes and beautiful designs but at affordable prices for all the family can be found on Via Nazionale, a long street with shops with all types of items, where you can even buy a souvenir for your friends.

And if we talk about food, nothing better than Da Fortunato Pantheon, a place with the flavour and tradition of Italy which has been a landmark of Roman gastronomy for over fifty years. A cosy place full of style and quality.

If you’re looking for a more diverse place with lighter food, you can go to Madame Baguette or Quick, two great diverse fast food options of great quality, especially good for days of long walking and family strolls around this beautiful city.

When it comes to ideas, nothing better than renting apartments in Rome and let yourself go with your family around the thousands of attractive sites in this city.

Getting into this amazing Roman palace is being immersed in the history of Italy. The Doria Pamphili aristocratic family have been accumulating in this noble mansion (which occupies a full block of downtown Rome) delicate decorative objects, fine furniture of all styles and impressive works of art of the best artists of the last centuries. All for the visual pleasure of the members of this noble clan, that even today still live there surrounded by such illustrious walls. But economic needs are imposed and The powerful Doria Pamphili family are forced to open to the public to raise cash to contribute to the maintenance of such antiquated facilities.

Thus, some of the most spectacular rooms of the palace can be booked for meetings, receptions and events of all types, those who do not have the opportunity to be invited to a elegant soirée, may, at any rate, enjoy anyways another way the Palazzo Doria Pamphili.

And to do what? I propose a multiple plan that is the best way enjoy the visit. First, we will enjoy the awesome sight of the baroque building, apart from the dozens of spectacular paintings hanging on their walls. Although the most famous painting is the portrait of Innocent X, painted by Velázquez (art work that obsessed so much Francis Bacon that he painted more than 40 versions of it).The Palazzo Doria Pamphili is a small museum, and a special gallery with a full representation of the very best of the past centuries. Caravaggio, for example, is present with weeping Magdalene and the Holy Family with a musician Angel all accompanied by the dark par-excellence painter Raphael, as well as painteings by Carracci and the French painter Claudio de Lorena.

If the gift of such a visual pleasure is not enough, the Doria family, who know quite a lot about the enjoyment of senses, organizes a series of chamber concerts by the Extravaganza Music Group. The intention is that the sounds and notes of the viols, harpsichords, lutes or harps embraces the visitors to recreate the entertaining and leisure atmosphere that the ancient inhabitants of the palace enjoyed. Undoubtedly, the traveler has a better opportunity to go back to a past time with the incorporation of live music ,a time  when the hours flowed calmly and slowly (at least for the aristocratic elite) and this is what the heirs of old Doria Pamphili propose, that the visitor feels like he is part of a privileged past. This is a plan that could satisfy the thirst for refined beauty of any self-respecting spirit.

Enter the mansion, walk its halls and galleries filled with works of art and sit down to enjoy a chamber concert is today within reach of a click. Of course, you have to make reservations well in advance. I enclose the web address http://www.doriapamphilj.it/musica.asp where they give due consideration to all practical information and a video to open your appetite
