History of Science in Italy from the Late Middle Ages to the Enlightenment
History of Science Syllabus Prof. Gian Mario Cao
This course traces the history of Western science from the late Middle Ages to the scientific revolution from an Italian perspective. It aims to account for the transformations of scientific discourse over nearly six centuries by integrating the traditional narrative of epoch-making discoveries and advances with an exploration of the contexts within which science was not only practiced and disseminated, but also criticized and opposed. Besides illustrating the dominant theories, the course concentrates on the making of scientific disciplines and fields, juxtaposing the traditional (medieval) university setting and the newly estabilished academies, laboratories, anatomy theaters, botanical gardens, and natural history collections, all of which contributed to a growth in depth and breadth of the new science.… Continue reading

Gian Mario Cao
Gian Mario Cao is an intellectual historian whose interests lie at the intersection of the history of ideas and the history of the classical tradition. His publications focus on the recovery and dissemination of Greek doxography and philosophy (especially scepticism) in the early modern period, Italian Renaissance humanism, free-thinking and its critics in eighteenth-century England, and the history of intellectuals in the twentieth century. Since receiving his Ph.D. in Philosophy from the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa in 2001, he has held research fellowships both in Italy and abroad, mostly in the US (Library of Congress; Princeton University) and in the UK (Warburg Institute; Trinity College, Cambridge).… Continue reading

Ladies and gentlemen 1975/2016 Andy Warhol
Ladies and gentlemen 1975/2016 Andy Warhol
Signore e signori, ecco a voi Andy Warhol!
40 anni dopo la mostra omonima organizzata da #Warhol e #Pasolini al Palazzo dei Diamanti di Ferrara, stavolta tocca alla nostra Bologna: da oggi fino al 2 febbraio 2016, la Galleria Cavour, il “salotto buono della città”, ospiterà “Ladies & Gentlemen 1975/2016 Andy Warhol”.
La mostra raccoglie e ripresenta agli spettatori moderni gli scatti che il padre della Pop Art fece non alle celebrità ma alla gente comune, dai travestiti dei bassifondi di New York ai volti della strada, gente sconosciuta e soggetti borderline. Maschere che sono volti senza tempo, modelli umani replicati in modo ironico e provocatorio ma dotati comunque di una loro dignità.… Continue reading

Renaissance and Early Baroque Art in Bologna: From Vitale da Bologna to Domenichino and Guido Reni
History of Art Syllabus Prof. Elisabetta Cunsolo
The rich artistic patrimony of Bologna is a powerful testament to the city’s great cultural importance over the centuries. Due to its favorable location, as well as to the presence of its ancient and distinguished university, Bologna has always been recognized for its great geo-political importance as a place from which many new ideas were diffused throughout the Apennine peninsula and beyond. Often threatened from the outside and occasionally conquered, the city distinguished itself by its desire to remain autonomous and by the development of a unique artistic school indebted to the various north Italian models.… Continue reading

Giovanna Acton, Wellesley College
I graduated from Wellesley College with a double major in International Relations and Italian Studies in May 2014. Currently, I am working in education at an elementary school with English Language Development (ELD) students, and am planning to attend graduate school in the near future. My experiences in Bologna helped me enormously both academically but also when seeking employment post-graduation. One of the great things about E.C.Co is it places you in an environment where you thrive academically and socially. Living with other Italian students improved my language enormously, and I am still in contact with many of those students.… Continue reading
