Florence in the sixteenth Century   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) It is a striking example of Buontalenti's ability to create an abstract and figurative design together with exceptional sensitivity in relation to the material, in all its possibilities from the abstract to the allusive to the organic. Between the middle of the sixteenth and the beginning of the seventeenth centuries Tribolo, Ammannati, Cellini, Buontalenti, Giambologna and Zuccari created a trend of tastes in wich formal invention was led to allusive obscurity through a transposition of human- feline forms of organic plant, animal or mixed architecturally stylized elements. Buontalenti's grottoes were one of the most elegant and refined contributions to XVI century architecture in terms of environmental settings. www.firenze.turismo.toscana.it /apteng/itinerari/500/53.html   (1485 words)

Italica - Rinascimento - Parole chiave Buontalenti’s primary contribution is above all in the realm of machinery, which he used to make scenography appear a marvelous but naturalistic and coherent part of the dramatic action. Buontalenti’s temporary installations also shaped the seminal political events of the Medici dynasty. In 1589, the prologue’s curtain depicting the city of Rome fell to reveal a series of revolving prisms inspired by Vitruvius’ periaktoi; by these means and through the use of sliding shutters, Buontalenti was able to provide the unprecedented number of seven settings for the intermezzi and the main drama, La Pelligrina. www.italica.rai.it /rinascimento/parole_chiave/schede/buontale.html   (527 words)

Boboli Gardens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The first stage was scarcely begun by Niccolo Tribolo before he died in 1550, then was continued by Bartolomeo Ammanati, with contributions in planning from Giorgio Vasari, who laid out grottos, and in sculpture by Bernardo Buontalenti. The elaborate architecture of the Grotto in the courtyard that separates the palace from its garden is by Buontalenti. Initially formed by clipped edges and greens, it was later formalized by rebuilding in stone decorated with statues based on Roman myths such as the Fountain of the Ocean sculpted by Giambologna, then transferred to another location within the same garden. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Boboli_Gardens   (674 words)

Zoomedia.it - Bernardo Buontalenti Bernardo Buontalenti, detto Bernardo dalle Girandole per la grande fantasia e abilità come scenografo e disegnatore di costumi per il teatro di corte e come organizzatore di feste e spettacoli, nacque nel 1536 e morì nel 1608 a Firenze.

Il forte di Belvedere fu realizzato tra il 1590 e il 1595 allo scopo di proteggere sia Palazzo Pitti sia il lato meridionale della città: come in ogni sua opera, l'originalità del Buontalenti si manifesta nei dettagli particolari e scenografici, evidenti soprattutto nelle sue creazioni come scenografo. www.zoomedia.it /Firenze/artisti/bernardobuontalenti   (263 words)

Journal of Seventeenth-Century Music | Vol. 9 No. 1 | Carter: Rediscovering Il rapimento di Cefalo Giovanni de’ Bardi, a loyal servant of His Highness, asked me with amazement, how it is possible that His Highness had not made use of Bernardo [Buontalenti] and of me and failed to follow the example of the comedy of the wedding [of 1589] by having a comedy with intermedi, using Guarini also. Cavalieri’s attempt to distance Buontalenti from the festivities may or may not have been a strategy adopted by the architect himself because of the apparent failure of the entertainments. The latter was won by Don Giovanni, Alessandro Pieroni, and Matteo Nigetti (against Buontalenti and Gherardo Silvani); construction began in 1604. sscm-jscm.press.uiuc.edu /jscm/v9/no1/Carter.html   (9721 words)
