Need help!
A friend of mine is writing her thesis in order to graduate and she has to write the abstract in english too. Can anybody correct these notes?
"This work focus on a new swim structure/system in the area of the former racetrack in Prato, a project created in order to replace the existing/current open swimming pool on the purpose of giving a response to the athletic community in this town and promote a better development of all the water-based activities.
It was necessary to search, discover and make all the trails emerge from this district which was a flourishing area, whose resources have been analysed so that it was possibile to use all these elements as the starting point for new structures.
We interpreted all the layers of the previous cultures occured during the centuries, such as centuriazione romana etc(..) in order to preserve/mantein the connection/bond with the foundation of the city, the nature and the human labour in this spaces caracterizing the growth of the town.
The particular morphological conditions of this area allowed all the populations to create the structures based on the organisation of the water, fundamental for the livelihood of the city, the reason why Prato became the city of the factories.
The main idea was to follow and respect all the lines, the units and the partitions created by the canals, moats and trenches useful for the mills in order to draw attention to the regulation of the water discharge and the subdivison of fields and especially to highlight the natural relationship bewteen the human being and the water.
For that reason it was necessary to conceive a place which should be used for competions but also for leisure activities.
The structures alternate with a free method sequence which allows/permits to add other structures in case of need/requirement. Simple facilities intertwined with open spaces made to create a connection between the public park and the one reserved/restrained for the guests/costumers of the swimming pool."
Does it make sense?
Thank you!

puzzle
I decided to create a little story using some expressions and the new vocabulary i've learnt.
So..
Yesterday morning I met a very clever person, whose name is Mark. I was at the train station and I was very anxious, because I had a job interview at 12 a.m.
He looked at me and asked "how are you?"; I looked up and I saw this guy, who started to talk and suddenly the atmosphere became very soothing. We talked about work and study and he tryed to cheer me up.
He prompted me to do my best and he told me that he was thrown out during one of his work experience, but he had never drop by the wayside.
It was a very important meeting for me, so that today I feel much more self-confident!

Masterpiece
The Venus of Urbino is one of Titian’s best known paintings, commissioned by Guidobaldo della Rovere, the duke of Urbino, for his wife in 1538.
It derives its inspiration from Giorgione’s Sleeping Venus, which Titian himself completed but it’s rather different. The idealized classical landscape (in Giorgione’s work) is replaced by a magnificent venetian interior and the nude female is represented reclining on a white bed sheet looking straight at the observer with calm but challenging expression, completely devoid of embarassment. It is a pagan allegory through which are underlined all the virtues that a bride would have been. The dog on the right side it’s a symbol of loyalty and fidelity and the two girls on the background represent the maternity even if they could be considered as clues to understand the richness of the setting.
Anyway the most relevant aspect is the use of color directly applied on the canvas without a clear draw, in this way he(Titian) could adjust the shapes and the silhouettes day by day and obtein original results and a particular shading effect that give us the impression of softness.

Santa Maria Novella, the façade
In 1456 the wealth merchant Giovanni Rucellai, ordered/commissioned to Leon Battista Alberti to redesign the façade of the Dominican church of Santa Maria Novella. At the beginning of the work Alberti had to solve a big problem that was the integration of the existing tombs of famous florentine citizens and the gothic doors of the previous building.
He was able to overcome it trasforming the lower part/zone with classical elements like the four coloumns and the two side pilasters. Then he enclosed the large central main door with an arch and separated the lower part of the facade from the upper part by means of a wide horizontal strip decorated with square inlay. On the top he created a structure/architecture that refers to a classical temple with these two spirals connecting the two different areas.
His skill was realizing a façade in which two different styles were put together and nevertheless they seem harmonious and balanced. Despite gothic elements it’s still considered a masterpiece, one of the biggest example of Renaissance architecture thanks to the use of a regular design, ordered by mathematical and geometrical rules.

I need revision!
This little painting is part of a group made by four tabernacles created/done by Beato Angelico, one of the most important renaissance artists in Florence. It was commissioned/ordered by fra Giovanni Masi(friar) for the church of Santa Maria Novella and this is the reason why it shows many gothic elements like gold background, many decorations and pinnacles. In the centre there is Vergin Mary, upright and covered by a blue cloak that doesn't hide her silhouette. She is holding the Baby, dressed with a rose-coloured clothing that seems soft and delicate, in this way Beato Angelico underlined the human being of Christ, emphasized also by his gestures. In fact he is laying his face to his mother's cheek, a very natural movement for a child; looking well to the representation we can notice this tendereness.
Around them there are many angeles put like a frame and such as a decoration. On the top God the Father is looking to them, giving us the example.
This work is also called as Madonna della stella or Madonna of the star, because of the star on her head, symbol of purity and perfection. The same as the entire work because Beato Angelico was able to connect two different styles in a very little painting.

Story and description of Santa Croce
Today I would like to write something about Santa Croce church in Florence.
The beginning of its construction started at the end of 1200 thanks to Arnolfo Di Cambio, the most important architect in Florence in that period, but it was built on a pre-existing oratory erected by franciscans. They arrived in Florence during the twenties of 1200 and they established in one of the poorest areas of the city, in fact all the manifacturing was settled near the Arno.
Over the years the church has changed, but it was and it's still now the most important franciscan church in Florence.
The façade was created only at the end of 1800 by Nicolò Matas, so it's a neo-gothic work such as the façade of Santa Maria del fiore.
In front of the church there is an important square, used by franciscans to preach and house many people during the sermons; now it's better known as the place where "Calcio Storico" is played.
Entering in the church one can admire the magnificent gothic apse (or apsis, i don't know) and architectural elements, typical of gothic period such as pointed arch or stained glass wondows, even if florentine gothic isn't the same as International Gothic.
However tombs are the amazing aspect of this place, this church is like a big mausoleum dedicated to important people like, for example, Galielo Galilei or Michelangelo.
Last but not least are Giotto's works, they're placed near the major chapel in Bardi and Peruzzi chapel. The works in Bardi chapel are frescos, instead of the ones in Peruzzi chapel that are paintings on the wall done "a secco".
Unfortunately they were covered in the 1500 and now they can't be seen entirely, anyway they're suggestives and they express Giotto's concepts on/about art very well.

Artwork
This morning I went to the Uffizi Gallery because I had to study some famous paintings. My teacher asked me to introduce The Adoration of Magi by Botticelli, and it was very difficult for me. So I would like to try again and write something on it.
The subject is related to the birth of Jesus and the visit by the three man called Magi who carry with them presents for the child.
This painting is a very important work because it's not a typical composition, in which people come from a side and "walk" up to the other side where is settled the cabin. In this case the hut is exactly in the middle of the representation and it hosts the Holy Family; the attention to the most important characters is underlined by the disposition of the people who are attending the scene, they're divided into two lines that ideally meet precisely on the Baby.
The very great use of perspective is underlined also by the fact that Botticelli put the cabin on a higher level than the ground.
This painting is also important because Medici family is represented, infact we can observe Cosimo Il Vecchio at the feet of the Baby and his sons. Probably the one with dark cloak on the right side is Lorenzo il Magnifico, but he wasn't the master of Florentine's Signoria yet.
It was commissioned by Guaspare del Lama, a supporter of Medici family for his chapel in Santa Maria Novella church. The fact that a man payed an artist for a work representing the most important family in Florence in 1400, even if it was intended for his own chapel, gives us an idea of Medici's power.
