TRANSCRIPT
A Century of Marvel: The Italian
Baroque The 17th century is the age
of Caravaggio, Bernini, Galileo, Monteverdi, Vico. It
is a time of contradictions and marvels, when modern science and philosophy are
born, opera and commedia dell’arte develop,
experimentation and tradition overlap in a new
form of art. What is the Baroque? Why does it
originate in Italy? Why was it rejected and then
rediscovered in the 20th century? This course proposes an aesthetic
reflection on the 17th century and offers a
multidisciplinary itinerary through the Italian culture
of the age, touching upon literature, painting,
sculpture, architecture, and theatre. !
