Firenze, Olschki Ed. 2012, cm 17 x 24, xvi-192 pp. con 17 figg. n.t. e 4 tavv. f.t. a colori. Historiae Musicae Cultores - Biblioteca, 123. Dalla grandiosa ricostruzione che segue il rovinoso terremoto del 1693 sino ai bagliori di una fin de siècle illuminista, musica e cultura urbana interagiscono in un fitto intreccio di relazioni, narrate qui sulla base di un approfondito riesame documentario. Nell’attività dei teatri, nelle feste religiose, negli apparati spettacolari, nella vita quotidiana delle cappelle ecclesiastiche si rispecchiano le ‘scene urbane’ di una città che a fine ’700 conquista a buon titolo l’appellativo di «grande Catania». / From the reconstruction after the earthquake of 1693 up to the glows of a fin-de-siècle Enlightenment, music and urban culture interact in a web of relations described here thanks to a thorough documentary reconstruction. The activity of theatres, the religious festivities, the spectacular apparatus, the everyday life of chapels reflect the ‘urban scenes’ of a town that at the end of the XVIIIth century deserved the name of «great Catania».

More than a musical genre, more than a mode of dress or dance, hip hop is a way of life. Born in the Seventies, on the multicultural streets of New York, hip hop is the result of numerous cultural influences, reworked through continuous experimentation, processes of globalisation, and media and commercial exposure. Rich in photographs, graphics and illustrations, this book celebrates the multiform imagery of hip hop culture, explaining the underlying meaning of hip hop slang, the origin of the look and the unmistakeable rhythm. It traces its evolution from the street to the catwalk, from videoclips to TV series, from New York block parties to controversial celebrities and stardom. A tribute to the historical and cultural value of the movement, Hip Hop: From Street Culture to Global Trend will be an inexhaustible source of inspiration for all lovers of music, fashion and graphics. Enter hip hop's extraordinary world.
