Michelangelo Florio and Venice PDF  | Stampa |

This paper will try to demonstrate how the second part of the sentence "Venetia, chi non ti vede non ti pretia, ma chi ti vede ben gli costa" had pregnant significance for Michelangelo Florio, in connection with the indignant and irrefutably documented invective that was hurled against Venice by the most famous Italian preacher of the Protestant Reformation, Bernardino Ochino, during Lent of 1542.

Wide summary of the 2017 Italian study, with a Documentary Appendix, which contains a letter dated January 23rd , 1552, in Latin, addressed by Michelangelo to Lord Cecil, Secretary of the English King Edward VI (with translation into English); it is absolutely striking to note how concepts and words, written in Latin by Michelangelo (who asked Cecil for mercy for an act of uncleanness), are literally reproduced in English by the Dramatist in Portia’s fundamental speech on praise of mercy in “The Merchant of Venice”.

The Shakespeare case: the influence of Titian and Pietro Aretino (Michelangelo Florio’s friend) PDF  | Stampa |

The present study, after a wide Introduction on the “Shakespeare Case” and the “Floriana Thesis” by Santi Paladino, contains some observations on the relationship between the Shakespearean theater and the visual arts; thus,  in the light of the canon of “complementarity” between the visual arts (in particular, the Titian’s portraits) and the Aretino’s sonnets, which were prepared to explain, by means of the words, the “invisible conceit” conveyed in these portraits. Subsequently the possible influence of two Titian’s paintings on two Dramatist’s works is emphasized: 1) Titian’s painting, Venus and Adonis and the homonymous Dramatist’s poem; 2) Titian’s portrait of the Duke of Urbino - the “Gonzago” in  Hamlet - and the Shakespearean representation of the ghost of King Hamlet, all armed and frowned.

Il caso Shakespeare: l’influenza di Tiziano e Pietro Aretino (amico di Michelangelo Florio) PDF  | Stampa |

Il presente studio, dopo un’ampia premessa sul “Caso Shakespeare” e la c.d. “Tesi Floriana” di Santi Paladino, contiene alcune osservazioni sui rapporti fra il teatro Shakespeariano e le arti visive, in generale, alla luce del canone della “complementarietà” fra le arti visive (in particolare, i ritratti del Tiziano) e i sonetti dall’Aretino composti a corredo di tali ritratti, per spiegare, con le parole, l’“invisibile concetto” in essi contenuto. Successivamente si sottolinea la possibile influenza di  due dipinti del Tiziano su  due opere del Drammaturgo: 1) il dipinto di Tiziano Venere e Adone e l’omonimo poemetto del Drammaturgo; 2) il ritratto tizianesco del Duca di Urbino - il “Gonzago” dell’Amleto - e la rappresentazione shakespeariana del fantasma del Re Amleto, tutto armato e accigliato.
