Discover the profound journey of Mark Rothko, the artist who transformed his works into a universal language. Our latest article explores the unbreakable bond between the artist and Florence, from the discovery of Fra Angelico’s frescoes in the Convent of San Marco to the major retrospective at Palazzo Strozzi in 2026. Join us on a journey through the colours and emotions of a master whose legacy remains the ultimate bridge between tragedy and hope.
In this article, we’ll discuss Mark Rothko, recognized as the most influential figure of his generation in the United States. However, the path that led him to become the leading exponent of Abstract Expressionism is not linear. This is because his story is made up of many elements, such as his migration as a child and his travels to Italy, which led him to create the artworks for which…

The Fragile Business of Making Films That Matter

Somewhere between the sequels and the franchises, a different kind of cinema is still quietly fighting for its life.
It begins fittingly, with a whisper of something strange. A girl confesses: “It was I… It was a witch.” At that moment, “The Witch” announces itself as something rare. A film uninterested in pleasing everyone. Austere, unsettling and unapologetically specific. It…

No One Stayed Still: BLPSA’s “Tonight We Gotta Footloose!”

The lights dimmed, the first beat dropped, and for two hours, no one stayed still. With “Tonight We Gotta Footloose!”, BLPSA turned Roentgen’s Aula Magna into something far bigger than a school stage: a space filled with movement, music, and the kind of energy that refuses to sit quietly.

Il canto di chi non ha perdono 

Articolo in collaborazione con Tra I Leoni. Da Tutti morimmo a stento a La Buona Novella, Fabrizio De André costruisce una poetica degli ultimi che rifiuta di ridurre l’essere umano ai suoi errori, al suo status o alla morale dominante. Indaghiamo come Faber trasformi emarginati, prostitute, ladroni e condannati in voci capaci di interrogare la responsabilità collettiva, osservando l’umanesimo anarchico della sua musica, la critica alle istituzioni punitive e la centralità della pietà come forma radicale di riconoscimento.
di Alessandro Mazza e Chiara Corbella Ogni società si racconta attraverso ciò che celebra; più raramente accetta di riconoscersi in ciò che abbandona. Da questa frattura nasce Tutti morimmo a stento, il primo concept album di De André pubblicato nel 1968 e concepito nella forma di Cantata in si…

Shorter Skirts and Other Economic Forecasts

If you see a guy in a three-piece suit staring out the window at female legs this autumn, don't jump to sexist conclusions. Maybe he's not just a chauvinist pig, after all: he could be diligently seeking clues to the financial future.
The Roaring Twenties were a period of experimentation, boldness, youthfulness at the expense of tradition. Glitz and glamour, paired with underlying simplicity, revitalised post-war fashion, as skirts shortened and silhouettes grew linear. While convenience and rejection of formality were key, beadwork, sequins and embroidery adorned evening-wear. Both waistlines and hemlines mirrored this new sense of audacity, respectively falling and rising throughout the decade. At the…
