Pentecost rose petals in the Pantheon >>> Pentecost rose petals in the Pantheon <<< The tradition of showering rose petals through the oculus of the Pantheon dates back thousands of years, probably to the 607 AD when the pagan temple became a Christian church. Today the ritual involves fire-fighters, who drop tens of thousands of red petals 43 metres into the interior of the Pantheon, symbolising the Holy Spirit’s descent to Earth. The ceremony is scheduled on Sunday 9 June following the 10:30 mass but due to its popularity, you’ll want to arrive by 8AM to ensure you get inside before the crowds arrive. >>> June in Rome <<< After our rebranding we have put a lot in motion and now it’s time to celebrate. We have just celebrated the birthday of our “resident” cook Giovanni, those who have tasted his cuisine on our terrace right after the Catacombs, Aqueducts and the Old Appian Way tour, will remember him well. Between the military parade of the Republic Day, an international bicycle meeting, the Critical Mass and The Pride, June in Rome is a month of celebration for every taste. Next we will take you through small streets and marble statues of the centro storico to the Pentecost ceremony in the Pantheon, watching red rose petals dance in the air, a symbol of the renewal of life and the coming of the warmth of summer. Our artist of the month Tim Allen feasts our eyes with his interpretation of Salome while we discover the story of a 1st century dancer Telethusa. So wear something red and join us for this dance.

Contemporary Art - sanded metals- part 2 The stencils for printing are used in order to give it a new meaning, a new and different function in which the words imprinted can fly between the trails of light. In Incontri (Meetings - 1990) the curves, as in a mathematical function, come together to create full lines that float in a starry universe, recalled by the glitter band that surrounds the aluminum. The work Fantasie Colorate (Colored Fantasies - 1993) consists of three wavy plates of 115 x 100 cm that, once juxtaposed, create a sinusoidal sculpture that seems to project the observer into another dimension, delineated by the artist's signs. Colored triangles, applied at a later time, wander and open like fans in three-dimensionality. It is a marked sign that, like a flash, diagonally crosses the four slabs and challenges gravity to give its name to the work Linea senza peso (Line without weight - 1993). Colored triangles, pointing with the tip up or down alternately, are positioned on the junction between the plates. In Pendolari (Commuters - 1993) an airplane, flying between a trail of signs, recalls the artist's journey back to Italy after his period living in New York. The two applied geometrical elements are there to remember the United States from where he was moving away and Italy where he returned after such a long absence. The title also recalls the theme of the trip and especially all the passengers that he brought back home when he was driving the trains.

Contemporary Art - sanded metals- part 1 Italian original in the comments: The sanded metals are a series of works by the artist Baldo Diodato, made in the early 90s, in which the aluminum sheets are worked with the aid of a grinder creating signs on the surface. These are the years when the artist returns to Italy after having lived for a long period in the United States, experimenting with new artistic techniques, especially the frottage in his many performances on the streets. Again in the USA Diodato was able to deepen the study of Pollock's works, and it is precisely the dripping that greatly influences the series of sanded metal. In creating these works, the artist does not use a brush and color, but stencils already used for printing and a grinder with which he realizes signs with random and instinctively creative gestures. Once the smooth, shiny and gleaming surface of aluminum is altered with spontaneous signs of the artist, like splashes of paint on the canvas, the aluminium sheet becomes a work of art with different possible readings. Not just what Diodato wanted to trap inside, but what every single observer sees based on how light strikes the work, creating reliefs and grooves according to the position from which one observes. Lines, curves and sinusoids articulate and wander in a space rendered three-dimensional by light, which together with the sign of grinding, creates that game of depth and gray abyss on the two-dimensional surface of the aluminum plate. The plates are so covered with signs that rather than being made with a grinder, they seem the result of light painting, like trails in the dark space drawn by a light source when the shutter of a camera remains open.
