FIRMA ....,.- _ i• Old a·ster drawin EXHIBITION OF ITALIAN OLD ITALIAN MASfER DRAWINGS IN LONDON , , Following her highly successful London exhibition last December, Munich art dealer Katrin Bellinger, is mounting her second show at the galleries of Harari & johns, leading London art dealers. This exhibition of 30 Italian Old Master Drawings represents the major Italian schools and most of the drawings have not been seen on the art market before. They will be on, view to the public, at 12 Duke Street, St. james's, London S.W.I. from Wednesday 30th November to Saturday 10th December 1988. . Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo Head of a Bearded Man . One of the most striking works on view, will be a' large drawing in pen and brown ink by Baccio Bandinelli' (14931560) the Floreri,tine sculptor, goldsmith and painter, whose career was largely spent trying (unsuccessfully) to outshine Michelangelo.· He did, however, enjoy the patronage of the Medici and some of his best work' is to be found in the Duomp in Florence. This impressive sheet depicts the Holy Family with St. john, and this. particular composition is the most elaborate and ambitious of several versions devoted to this theme. This drawing featured in an 'exhibition of drawings from. private Belgian collections, held in Belgium in 1983, and is particularly notable for its strongly hatched forms and extravagantly swirling draperies. - Tanzio in S. the pairiting by Brizio in Vagna depicting The. Visi tation. The delicate sensitivity in the treatment of the Virgin's lifted hand and the detailed attention to each fold of her garment allowed the artist to use thesefstudies almost. unchanged in the. final compostition. In sharp contrast with, this -rather tranquil study is an' arresting selfportrait by Pier Leone Ghezzi (1674-1755). The artist stares out intently at the viewer, a young man with a shock of curly hair sitting in his study, with shelves of 'Iearned tomes lining the walls behind him. Gheizi portrays himself in a strangely frozen attitude, his left hand resting on a bust that stands on his desk, his right hand hovering over a portrait he has been woiking on, as if suddenly interrupted. ' This imaginative exhibiton also features a number of preparatory, studies for 'Iargescale compositions, including a fine work by Antonio d'Errico known as Tanzio da Varallo (c. 1575-1635). The sheet is a detail study in red chalk on pink paper ofa hand and an arm, and. relates _to·, One of the stars of this show is a pastel drawing by Rosalba Carriera (1675-1757), a' Venetian artist who enjoyed enormous popula~ity during the early part of the 18th century, especially in Venice, Paris and Vienna. This drawing,· ·entitled "Dianawith Flowers and ,Blue Ribbon ,in , her Hair" was probably commissioned by Frederic. August ' 11, Elector of Saxony and re'mained in the Royal Gallery of Dresden's collection until the early 1920s. It survives with its original ornate rococo frame intact, typical of the work of Joseph Deibel who had an important workshop in Dresden. Diana is depicted · in the attire of a fashionable courtier of the period, her pale complexi9n offset by dark hair, decorated with a · jewelled clasp and blue ribbon. Her costume is also meticulously observed,the bodice swathed in lace and blue velvet, and her shoulders draped in a delicately embroidered chiffon shawl - all very much a bravura display of Carrier's skilled use of this medium. Representing Italian art of the · mid-18th century is a fine study by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo (1727-1804). This drawing depicts the head of a bearded man in profile, executed in red and white chalk on blue paper, and comes from a series of four such studies. The artist served as assistant to his father, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, but was also an accomplished artist. in his own right and is most commonly associated with pen and ink ,drawings of Pulcinella scenes 'depicting the exaggerated antics of clowns and mountebanks. This makes the chalk drawing in this exhibition all the rarer, being a medium -more ,typical of his father's oeuvre', but'the strong modelling of the head, with its craggy features and wild hair denote the more characterful handling of Domenico. This exhibition of Italian Old Master Drawings will be complemented by an accompanying show, also at Harari & Johns, entitled "An Exhi"bition of European Sculpture ,and' Works of'Art'!. 11 Cronaca attivita della nostra comunita . , • • , , , • • • SOGGIORNO MARINO - .CULTURALE CAMPANO 15-31 AGOSTO 1988 Un gruppo di 40 studenti dai · 10 ai 18.aJ:lni di origine cam'. pana,figli' di emigrati in In; ghilterra, e' sta'to ospite del , l'lstit'uto.

In Francia e in Belgio pero' De Benedetti e' considerato il piu' potente e in Inghilterra Craxi. The Italian authorities faced a series of unpleasant questions yesterday over what seems to have been a gross security lapse after a senior judge and his son were murdered on a lonely road in Sicily by Mafia gunmen. Incredibly, Judge Antonio Saetta and his 23-year-old son, Stefano, were travelling without protection late one Sunday night when they were • ambushed. Judge. Saetta was expected to preside over the appeal hearing for many of the mafio'si convicted in last year's mass trial. He had a reputation for honesty and stern sentencing in organised crime cases, including the trials of those who murdered his fellow judges. The judge wl!-s driving his Lancia between Caltanissetta and Palermo just before midnight. The gunmen opened fire from the side of the road riddling the car and its occupants with bullets. Out of control, the Lancia crashed into a metal barrier at the side of the road. Two Italian ports, Manfredonia and Ravenna, agreed to allow the last two ships carrying Italian industrial waste from Nigeria to dock if the cargo is stored a':ld treated elsewhere. The Vatican Bank and Olivetti chairman Carlo De Benedetti were implicated in the collapse of Banco Ambrosiano; according to an indictm.ent drawn up by Milan magistrates 'Yho have spent six years investigating the case.

Most of the missing money had been channelled by Mr. Calvi through offshore subsidiaries to a network of shell • compames. According to the indictment, the Vatican Bank was 'closely involved in the "hiding, dissipation and consequent destruction" of the bank's capital. The indictment also accuses Mr. De Benedetti of extortion. He is said to have made "an unjust profit" in a deal with Calvi. Lawyers for Mr.- De Benedetti say the charge is groundless.

The perform'ance of Rossini's, Stabat Mater aroused so much 'interest that it was performed on the first Sunday of each ,month from 1863 til 1910 when such music, was declared, non-liturgical by Pope Pius X. Even today the church still maintains its good ' name in the music, field. It has a choir which performs pieces py famous composers and has often sung with some of the, best voices in the world. Gigli, Silveri, Raimondo and other performers of the Scala of Milan, the Opera in Rome and the Opera of San Carlo in Naples have often sung here ,since the last war.

Well blow me down if this isn't exactly what's been happening of late with some record companies! Pearl is the first to place us' in their debt. To kick off they have transferred their, great Ezio Pniza double set onto CD. No question. This is the greatest bass voice ever heard in Italian opera. So solid and even throughout it's range. And a voice with the greatest Bel, canto techniques. A pure line and able ,to • negotiate coloratura with ease. , . . , The CD kicks off with the Temple Scene from Aida. Giovanni Martinelli is an ardent Radames - one regrets the ' whole opera was never recorded complete by them. With Rosa Ponselle as Aida I can only dream of what this recording would have sounded, like! Then we have one of . ' Pmza's greatest recordings, Silva's aria from Act I of Ernani. Has there ever been heard a voice better than this in this work I wonder? The phrasing of the opening recitative is so full of light and shades that it can only compete to Gielgud in his speech from Hamlet. usicale--,= Other arias include Don Giovanni, ,Faust, I Vespri Siciliani, and Verdi's Requiem where theslightlyfastv,ibrato in ~he voice conveys the awe and meaning of. the words. Please, please I beg you all to try this CD and if you're not ,knocked over by' this man, BACKHILL will refund your money (that's got my ~ditor sweating)!!! The greatest bass Once again a big thank you to Pearl for their re-release of the legendry La Traviata with Rosa PonseI1e and Lawrence Tibbett. The performance was 'made privately by Tibbett on very old and scratchy 78s. Generous allowances have to be made for the sound. One moment clear, the next very crackly, but at least we have something that had been thought lost for ever - a complete Ponselle performance of La Traviata. What can one say about this voice that has often been re- ferred to as a Caruso in petticoats?Ponselle fairly pops out of the speaker in the fi rst act. This is no wilting woman, but a lady who is going to grab what she can out of her life no matter how ill she may be. Then' in Act 11, her world suddenly crumbles around her when asked to give up ,the only good thing she has ever had out of life. Sadness there is, but also anger for the realisation that she set too much on her love for Alfredo. The last Act will have even the hardiest Traviata in tears. , The letter scene again h~s the bitterness on the word "Taidi ". Too late and this woman knows it. With Tibbett as a sympathetic: Papa Germont and in wonderful voice, this should be heard by all lovers of great singing. As a bonus' two' extra tracks have been included on the COs' of. Ponselle's com mercial recordings of the Casta Diva and Mira 0 Norma (with Marion Talva)~ Will I ever be lucky to hear such a voice as this in an opera house? Only the great one in Heaven, I think!

WORLD ' A APART Director: Chris Menges Star: Barbara Hershey , A World Apart is based on the true life of Shawn Slovo, a ~hite South African girl then In her teens. Her father is ~n anti-apartheid activist (he IS now the only white ANC executive) who, in 1963 was in danger of arrest aft~r the 90 day law (this allowed the security forces to hold a prisoner for 90 days without charge). He, flees the count.ry le~ving behind his journahst wife Diana Roth (Barbara Hersley) and three daughters. Diana is promptly arrested, released 90 days later then immediately re-arrested. She is released once more 'after an attempted suicide. At the end of the fil'm we are told that the family move to London where 'Diana was killed by a parcel bomb 20 years later. The above isn't the heart of the film, merely background. The true story revolves around. Molly Roth (jodhi May) and the relationship with her mother which is a world apart. It is about the child's reaction, in her delicate teens, to the inexplicable events • around her. Her inability to , trust and be trusted by her parents. Firstly because her 'Jather is never there and secondly because her mother is ~nable to, involve her daughfer In her political activities for obvious security reasons. So she finds herself with parents who are admired by some, or loathed by others, but with whom she is unable to . shar.e a child-parent relationship. A mother who constantly abandons her without explanation when arrested. < 'Natural' is maybe the forte of this fil m.
