Abstract: The artistic genius of Michelangelo (1475-1564) is beyond question. One the most important figures in the history of art, his monumental paintings in the Sistine Chapel, his sculpture David in Florence, and his Pietà at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome are among the greatest human achievements of all time and remain the most visited and admired works of art in the world. Michelangelo's life has been the subject of many biographies over the centuries, but it was not until the appearance of John Addington Symonds's The Life of Michelangelo Buonarroti, in 1893, that a biographer had complete access to the artist's family archives.The Buonarroti archives were to be available to the public with the passing of the last family member, but even when that event occurred, in 1858, material from the archives remained closely guarded and only fragments emerged through the hands of family friends. The Italian government, predisposed to Symonds for his impeccable scholarship of Renaissance art, gave Symonds full access to the Buonarroti archives in the 1880s, the first independent scholar so honored.With the ability to consult the massive amount of material in the archives, Symonds produced the first documented, and considered by many still to be the best, biography of Michelangelo. Symonds's expertise as a historian and critic gives added depth to this biography, and it is here that the public first learned that translations of Michelangelo's poetry had been altered to opaque the artist's sexuality. Yet this great work, the last of Symonds's life, has largely been forgotten by students of Michelangelo.In this new edition, the first in more than fifty years, preeminent art historian Creighton E. Gilbert reintroduces Symonds's masterful study of Michelangelo to a new audience through a discussion of the historical context in which the biography appeared, a biographical sketch of Symonds, an openly gay man who worked rigorously to evaluate and promote the contributions of gay artists and scholars to mainstream life, and concludes with an appreciation of The Life of Michelangelo Buonarroti, for its scholarly and literary merits, as an account of the most brilliant painter and sculptor of the Italian Renaissance.

#299927 Automobili Moto Mezzi di Trasporto
Grantour 2003, cm.24x33, pp.368 illustrato a colori. legatura editoriale cartonata, sopraccoperta figurata a colori, cofanetto. In otto capitoli Victor Seara, giornalista de "El Mundo" e di "Motor 16", ripercorre le tappe dell'attività di Michael Schumacher presso la scuderia di Maranello. Il testo inizia con l'arrivo di Schumacher alla Ferrari, a partire dal 1995, dal suo debutto fatto con una tuta bianca - ancor priva di sponsor nella pista di Fiorano a bordo di una 412 T2 e termina con la conquista del sesto titolo iridato. La storia di questi successi è introdotta da Froilan Gonzales, il primo pilota che ha vinto un campionato del mondo F1 con una Ferrari nel lontano 1951. Il testo accompagna le fotografie di Flavio Mazzi, fotografo accreditato FIA dal 1995, che sono le vere protagoniste di questa pubblicazione.
