Description
An account of the resource
‘A man who has not been in Italy, is always conscious of an inferiority, from his not having seen what it is expected a man should see.’ - Dr Samuel Johnson
Italy – what dreams and romantic longings the name conjures up. Florence, Venice, Rome – landmarks of European history and civilization. The country of Caesar, Cicero, Horace, and Virgil: the land which gave birth to Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, Dante, Ariosto, and Tasso. The list would be endless if it also encompassed ‘modern’ day celebrities such as Giuseppe Verdi, Enrico Fermi, Sofia Loren, Giorgio Armani, Dino Zoff (considered the best goalkeeper in the history of football), and the controversial Silvio Berlusconi.
Renowned for its architecture, its complex historical past, its literature, fashion, and cuisine, Italy is now sub-divided into 20 regions, where most speak Italian (a Florentine variety of Tuscan). Viva l’Italia: A Regional Romp through Italy is an exhibition that is constructed around images of Italian cities from a 17th century copy of Pietro Bertelli’s Theatro delle Citta d’Italia (1629). By utilising these images, the viewer ‘romps’ through the various regions of the country from Piedmont in the north, to Puglia in the southeast, Sardinia in the west, and Sicily in the southwest. The Republic (formed in 1946) encompasses some 301,338 kilometres. By necessity coverage is selective, an overview that covers most regions, not all cities, and not all facets of this richly diverse country.
Most of the Italian books in this exhibition are from the collections of Esmond de Beer and Charles Brasch, which are housed in Special Collections. Both men thoroughly enjoyed what Italy offered to the world; we are grateful for their passion. Forza Italia!

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The Veneto region in Italy’s northeast extends from the Dolomites to the Adriatic Sea, and is divided into 7 provinces: Belluno, Padova, Rovigo, Treviso, Verona, Vicenza, and Venice. The region has Lake Garda, the largest lake in Italy, and Marmolada, the highest mountain in the Dolomites, measuring 3343mt/9365ft. Like most Italians, those living in Veneto tend to be bilingual, speaking Italian and Venetian; the subtle difference evident with the word ‘cat’, i.e. <em>el gato</em> in Venetian; <em>il gatto</em> in Italian. During the Fascist period (1922-1945), Venetian was banned. The regional capital is Venetia (Venice), which as depicted in this 1629 engraving, is a city of small islands, bridges, canals, and the ever-present gondolas.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Piedmont, in the northwest, is Italy’s second largest region. It boasts high peaks and glaciers, mountain passes such as Montgenèvre and Great St. Bernard, and Italy’s largest river, the Po. It has eight provinces, with Turin (Torino) as the capital. Piedmont is known for wines (Asti and Barolo), chocolates (Ferrero in Alba), cars (Fiat), spas (Acqui Terme), the Slow Food movement, and its historical past: medieval castles like Ivrea, and architectural masterpieces like the Basilica di Superga. The famed Shroud of Turin was transferred to Turin from France in 1578, and first photographed in 1898. The chapel that houses the Shroud in the Cathedral of Saint John is not visible in this 1629 engraving of ‘Turino’, because it was added to the cathedral between 1668 and 1694.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
‘All roads lead to Rome’, so the saying goes, and the ancient Romans were certainly excellent road builders. By 200 AD there were 80,000 kilometres of roads throughout the Roman Empire. Rome, or Roma to the Italians, is the capital of both the region of Lazio and of Italy. Lazio is bordered by six other Italian regions and looks out onto the Tyrrhenian Sea. Almost six million people live in Lazio with about three million residing in the city of Rome.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Bordered by Tuscany, Lazio and Marche, Umbria is the one region in Italy that does not have a coastline. Known as <em>il cuor verde d’Italia</em> (the green heart of Italy), the region is well known for tobacco growing, olive oil production, and vineyards, with the white Orvieto a specialty. Umbria is divided into two provinces: Perugia and Terni, with the walled city of Perugia the regional capital. The Griffin – as depicted in this engraving – is the symbol of the city. Visible just under the engraved name of Perugia is the circular, out of proportion Church of Sant’ Angelo, a building that dates back to the 5th and 6th centuries. There were seven gates into the city; ‘Porta Sole’ is readily identifiable.

Description
An account of the resource
‘A man who has not been in Italy, is always conscious of an inferiority, from his not having seen what it is expected a man should see.’ - Dr Samuel Johnson
Italy – what dreams and romantic longings the name conjures up. Florence, Venice, Rome – landmarks of European history and civilization. The country of Caesar, Cicero, Horace, and Virgil: the land which gave birth to Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, Dante, Ariosto, and Tasso. The list would be endless if it also encompassed ‘modern’ day celebrities such as Giuseppe Verdi, Enrico Fermi, Sofia Loren, Giorgio Armani, Dino Zoff (considered the best goalkeeper in the history of football), and the controversial Silvio Berlusconi.
Renowned for its architecture, its complex historical past, its literature, fashion, and cuisine, Italy is now sub-divided into 20 regions, where most speak Italian (a Florentine variety of Tuscan). Viva l’Italia: A Regional Romp through Italy is an exhibition that is constructed around images of Italian cities from a 17th century copy of Pietro Bertelli’s Theatro delle Citta d’Italia (1629). By utilising these images, the viewer ‘romps’ through the various regions of the country from Piedmont in the north, to Puglia in the southeast, Sardinia in the west, and Sicily in the southwest. The Republic (formed in 1946) encompasses some 301,338 kilometres. By necessity coverage is selective, an overview that covers most regions, not all cities, and not all facets of this richly diverse country.
Most of the Italian books in this exhibition are from the collections of Esmond de Beer and Charles Brasch, which are housed in Special Collections. Both men thoroughly enjoyed what Italy offered to the world; we are grateful for their passion. Forza Italia!

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
From Mondragone in the north and Sapri in the south lies the region of Campania, the second most populous in Italy. It also includes the Phlegraean Islands and Capri. Naples (Napoli) was the capital city of the Kingdom of Naples between 1282 and 1816, and then capital of the Two Sicilies until the unification of Italy in 1861. Naples is still the capital of the region today and is famous for pizza. No pizza parlours are evident in this 1629 engraving, but two of the city’s many medieval and renaissance buildings are: the Castel Sant’Elmo and the Castel Nuovo, the seat of the medieval kings of Naples. The wooded area far outside the walls (middle right) is close to where Naples International airport is situated today.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The region of Lombardia or Lombardy is home to one-sixth of Italy’s population: 10 million people; and 1.3 million of them live in the capital city of Milan. The region is described as an ‘economic and industrial powerhouse’ and is home to Italy’s main stock exchange, <em>Borsa Italiana</em>. Leading fashion labels <em>Valentino</em>,<em> Prada</em> and<em> Armani</em> (among others) have their headquarters in Milan and the city hosts Milan Fashion Week twice a year. Six million tourists visit every year and there is no doubt that a large number of them would make their way to the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie to gaze upon Leonardo da Vinci’s now crumbling masterpiece, <em>The Last Supper</em>.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Calabria, the ‘toe’ of the Italian Peninsula and Reggio Calabria, the most populous city in the region, are just visible in this 1629 engraving of Messina. Because the sea dominates this region, a major part of Calabrian cuisine is fish, especially swordfish and sardines (<em>sardelle rosamarina</em>). Ever since Roman times, there has been talk of connecting Calabria with Sicily, a distance of some 3.1 km across the Straits of Messina. Silvio Berlusconi’s government initiated the building of a suspension bridge, but the idea was scuttled in 2013 by the new Italian government, who deemed it not a priority. Opponents of the project have had two major concerns: safety (the fear of earthquakes and winds), and supporting the economy of the <em>‘Ndrangheta</em>, the local Mafia syndicate.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The region of Puglia occupies the heel of Italy’s ‘boot’ and the seaside town of Gallipoli is situated on the west coast of the Salento peninsula, looking out onto the Ionian Sea. The old medieval town was built on a limestone island which is about one and a half kilometres wide and is linked to the mainland by a 16th century arched bridge. Sharing its name with the more famous Gallipoli in Turkey, the Italian Gallipoli, which means ‘beautiful town’, was once a bustling olive oil market but now has an economy based on fishing and tourism.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia is sparsely populated with only 1.2 million inhabitants, approximately 100,000 of whom now live in the city of Udine. Legend has it that Attila the Hun (d. 453) encouraged his soldiers to build a hill in the centre of Udine by transporting soil there in their helmets. The marauding Huns held the nearby town of Aquileia (40 kilometres away) under siege and Attila wanted a vantage point in this flat land from which to see the town burning. Could this be the hill that appears in the middle of this 1629 engraving? From 1420 to 1797 Udine was under the control of the Republic of Venice but in 1866 joined the Kingdom of Italy as part of the new unified nation created by the <em>Risorgimento</em>.

The Republic (formed in 1946) encompasses some 301,338 kilometres. By necessity coverage is selective, an overview that covers most regions, not all cities, and not all facets of this richly diverse country.
Most of the Italian books in this exhibition are from the collections of Esmond de Beer and Charles Brasch, which are housed in Special Collections. Both men thoroughly enjoyed what Italy offered to the world; we are grateful for their passion. Forza Italia!

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The borders between countries may change, but the city and its topography remain fixed – a stable point of reference. The Paduan-based copper engraver, etcher and publisher Francesco Bertelli was one of many who produced map books for local and international visitors. This publication contains 78 town-plans of Italian cities, wonderful ‘bird’s-eye’ views of places you might – or might not – visit. This 17th century work retains its usefulness today; the images within the book have provided the internal structure for this exhibition. Pisa is instantly recognisable with its leaning tower.

Description
An account of the resource
‘A man who has not been in Italy, is always conscious of an inferiority, from his not having seen what it is expected a man should see.’ - Dr Samuel Johnson
Italy – what dreams and romantic longings the name conjures up. Florence, Venice, Rome – landmarks of European history and civilization. The country of Caesar, Cicero, Horace, and Virgil: the land which gave birth to Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, Dante, Ariosto, and Tasso. The list would be endless if it also encompassed ‘modern’ day celebrities such as Giuseppe Verdi, Enrico Fermi, Sofia Loren, Giorgio Armani, Dino Zoff (considered the best goalkeeper in the history of football), and the controversial Silvio Berlusconi.
Renowned for its architecture, its complex historical past, its literature, fashion, and cuisine, Italy is now sub-divided into 20 regions, where most speak Italian (a Florentine variety of Tuscan). Viva l’Italia: A Regional Romp through Italy is an exhibition that is constructed around images of Italian cities from a 17th century copy of Pietro Bertelli’s Theatro delle Citta d’Italia (1629). By utilising these images, the viewer ‘romps’ through the various regions of the country from Piedmont in the north, to Puglia in the southeast, Sardinia in the west, and Sicily in the southwest.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The capital of the Emilia-Romagna region is the city of Bologna, a place that has been inhabited since the 10th century BC. The city has the honour of having the oldest university in the world, established in 1088; some of the more famous faculty members have included Dante (d. 1321), Albrecht Dürer (d. 1528), and Copernicus (d. 1543). The city has several nicknames – <em>La Dotta</em> (‘the learned’) because of the university; <em>La Grassa</em> (‘the fat one’) for its cuisine; and<em> La Rossa</em> (‘the red’) not only because of the many red roofs of the buildings in the city but also because Bologna became a Communist stronghold after WWII. In the middle of this 17th century map the Two Towers of Bologna, built in the 12th century, are visible and they still stand in the city today, albeit on a lean.
