Synopsis
Excerpt from Italian Fantasies
Poseidon. (o the soaring Pagan pillars, divinely Doric I have stood by the Leaning Tower in Bologna that gave a Simile to Dante, and by the long low wall of Padua's university, whence Portia borrowed her learned plumes; I have stayed to scan a placarded sonnet to a Doctor of Philology; I have walked along that delectable Riviera di Levante and left a footprint on those Wind-swept sands Where Shelley's mortal elements found their fit resolution in flame. I have lain under Boccaccio's Olives, and caressed with my eye the curve of the distant Duomo and the Wind ing silver of the Arno. Florence has shown me supreme earth-beauty, Venice supreme water-beauty, and I have worshipped Capri and Amalfi, Offspring of the love marriage of earth and water.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book contains a series of essays that explore the themes of beauty, faith, and death in Italian art and culture, from the Italian Renaissance through the nineteenth century. The author juxtaposes historical and contemporary thought with his personal experiences in Italy, revealing the lasting impact of history and culture on modern Italian society. Traveling through the country's iconic cities, the author finds that the grandeur of the pastâ"embodied in the works of the great Renaissance mastersâ"hides the struggles of contemporary Italy, riven with poverty and social injustice. He observes how the Church's pervasiveness in Italian life shapes the country's culture even as religious devotion wanes. The author's insightful and engaging prose offers fresh perspectives on the complex relationship between art, faith, and the human condition, shedding new light on the enduring legacy of Italian civilization.
