& Music-between words and colours: the metamorphoses of Ovid

S. Giustina room – Roana-literature and art: paintings that start from a book and books that feed Pictures-From text to pictures-Tells: Isaac Tam-sounds: Francesco Pulga, Piano-Wednesday, August 6

Culture & music also deals with art, related to literature, in the cycle: "between words and colours-return": two meetings that occur at the same time as reading music, moments of in-depth, but also as opportunities to cast an eye toward the creative processes that intersect combining art and literature. The two narratives will investigate the genesis of works that come moving his first steps from an art "other" along thin boundaries separating – or join – the figurative art and writing.

The meeting of Wednesday, August 6 at 17.30 in s. Giustina to Roana., will focus on The Ovid's metamorphosis. This is one of the basic texts for the transmission of classical culture, Latin and Greek, from antiquity to the present day. Narrated by poet mythology of Sulmona is a touchstone for the Dante of hell and Purgatory, but presents also a testbed for the daring sixteenth-century translators, intending to compete with (and overcome) the Latin authors.

The meeting dedicated to Metamorphosis takes reconstruct a path that starts from an ancient text and arrives, through the luck of the work itself and its translations, the paintings of great painters, including Tintoretto, Tiepolo and Giulio Romano.

Special attention will be given to the various texts which served as the starting point for their narrations full colour: painted scenes, in General and in individual details, reveal the multiplicity and variety of texts consulted by artists before hand to brush, reiterating that there is not a single text of the Latin Metamorphosisbut a multiplicity of metamorphosis that alternated over the centuries, in the form of translations and retellings, going to represent a tank full draw on the work of some of the most famous Italian painters.

The Narrator will be that ofactor Isaac Tam, while the sounds that accompany the story will be entrusted to the pianist Francesco Pulga.

As always, admission is free.
