Many writers feel less and less comfortable in a literary environment densely populated by publishers, editors, agents, distributors, brokers, advertising, chain bookstores, sales staff, cameras and photographers. The writer and his reader, the two most key chain, today are more isolated than ever. [it] Molti scrittori si sentono sempre meno a loro agio in un ambiente letterario fittamente popolato di editori, redattori, agenti, distributori, mediatori, pubblicitari, catene di librerie, addetti alla vendita, telecamere, fotografi. Lo scrittore e il suo lettore, le due figure più importanti della catena, oggi sono più isolati che mai. Dubravka Ugresic

Sat, 07 Feb 2009 10:07:04 -0800 Living in the beauty of Palladio http://oddtag.posterous.com/living-in-the-beauty-of-palladio http://oddtag.posterous.com/living-in-the-beauty-of-palladio txt: Endlessly copied, but never bettered - from Guardian Unlimited Art
The results over the next 40 or so years were new civic buildings in Vicenza, the glorious churches of San Giorgio Maggiore and Il Redentore in Venice, but most of all the stupendous series of villas - original, timeless, amazingly beautiful - he built for the gentleman farmers of the Veneto. Just to recite their names and locations is to enter into a reverie of educated paganism: Lonedo, Maser, Fanzolo, Piombino, Dese, Malcontenta, Poiana Maggiore, Finale di Agugliaro, Vancimuglio, Villa Rotonda, Bertesina, Quinto, Lisiera, Caldogno, Montecchio. These designs have been endlessly copied all over the world.

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:31:52 -0700 Palladio: too provincial, too innovative http://oddtag.posterous.com/palladio-too-provincial-too-innovative http://oddtag.posterous.com/palladio-too-provincial-too-innovative [txt] Andrea Palladio Architect Super Partes - www.palladio2008.info
This having been said, we also must acknowledge that Palladio's life was not a bed of roses. In Vicenza, for instance, he worked on commission for public works that changed the aspect of the town (just think of the Basilica on the Piazza dei Signori,) but in return he sadly had the pleasure of seeing only few of his palazzi being fully built, as these works were too ambitious for the urban families. In Venice also a different odd phenomenon happened: Palladio's palazzi were not considered apt for the capital, maybe because they were too innovative, or more likely because they were labelled as provincial; so that's why only few Palladian churches are reflected in the Venetian lagoon.
