Public Lecture by leading Classical Archaeologist, Professor Jean-Paul Descoeudres from the University of Geneva
6pm on Wednesday 15 August 2007
The School of Humanities and Social Science are delighted to announce a public lecture which will be presented by one of the world's leading Classical Archaeologists, Professor Jean-Paul Descoeudres on Wednesday 15 August 2007. Professor Descoeudres, Professor of Classical Archaeology from the University of Geneva, is visiting the University of Newcastle on 15 and 16 August 2007 to meet with University of Newcastle PhD student Gina Caddies, whom he is co-supervising with Dr Elizabeth Baynham from the discipline of Classics. As part of the visit, Professor Descoeudres will be presenting an informative free public lecture on the 'Last Days of Pompeii' on Wednesday 15 August from 6pm in the Pacific Room at Noahs on the Beach.
The author of Pompeii Revisited: The Life and Death of a Roman Town (Sydney, NSW, Meditarch, 1994) and Initiator and Director of the first Australian Expedition to Pompeii in the late 1970s to mid-1980s, Professor Descoeudres is internationally renowned and highly respected for his research and fieldwork in the area of Pompeii in particular. His public lecture will provide the rare opportunity for students and staff of the University and local high schools, and the wider community with an interest in the ancient world, to hear from a world expert in the field.
Professor Descoeudres' public lecture will compare the traditional view of Pompeii's final hours with recent observations by both vulcanologists and archaeologists. According to the traditional view, which is largely based on Pliny's letters to Tacitus, the city was buried under a huge layer of ash and pumice stone, but this happened rather gently, without causing great damage - almost like a mountain village that slowly disappears under winter snow. Professor Descoeudres refers to this aspect as the "sleeping beauty model." However, recent vulcanological and archaeological discoveries, some of them made by Australians, suggest a rather different picture; one of a violent destruction that caused a large number of deaths, a final blow to a city which had already suffered heavy damage during the months and years preceding the eruption of 24-25 August AD79. The School of Humanities and Social Science invite you to join them for this unique event.
Professor Descoeudres holds an Honorary Professorship from the University of Sydney, where he held academic positions from 1973-1997. As well as being Director of excavations on numerous other Australian and Swiss expeditions to Pompeii and other areas of Southern Italy, Professor Descoeudres is also the Founder and Chief Editor of Mediterranean Archaeology: Australian and New Zealand Journal for the Archaeology of the Mediterranean World.

Esecuzione û´ una doppia video-installazione in cui i fratelli De Serio, partendo dal loro essere gemelli e dal paradosso dellãessere allo stesso tempo soli e inevitabilmente legati, mettono per la prima volta in gioco se stessi indagando il tema dellãidentitû , attraverso un linguaggio ibrido, tra messa in scena e performance.
Il video û´ un doppio autoritratto, realizzato attraverso il montaggio sequenziale dellãazione di fotografare se stessi (e lãaltro) come di fronte ad uno specchio, muniti entrambi di una polaroid. I protagonisti mostrano in questãazione meccanica e in questo costante slittamento temporale, lãincertezza nel riconoscersi nellãaltro, e la difficoltû nel mostrare con chiarezza la propria individualitû . Nellãopera permane quindi un elemento ambiguo che evidenzia la struttura aperta dellãopera. Lãesecuzione della foto diventa lãesecuzione che li uccide come identitû , li identifica nella loro comune ãmascheraã, e li reitera nel loop.

Renato Mambor (Roma, 1936) ã tra i protagonisti di quel particolare filone creativo sviluppatosi negli anni Sessanta in ambito romano e passato alla storia come Scuola di Piazza del Popolo ã si distingue per una ricerca iconica e oggettuale che tende a scardinare codici linguistici precostituiti. La sua opera si pone al confine tra varie forme espressive e, attraverso la sperimentazione di linguaggi diversi e lãabbandono dellãoggetto pittorico in sûˋ, si apre sempre ad un rapporto metalinguistico tra parole, immagini, cose e persone, creando un cortocircuito vitale tra oggetto e soggetto.
Lãesposizione, a cura di Benedetta Carpi De Resmini, rientra nel programma rivolto ai ãmaestri del contemporaneoã ã artisti della seconda metû del XX secolo ã che il Museo ha sviluppato negli ultimi due anni, con progetti speciali dedicati a Vasco Bendini, Claudio Cintoli, Gastone Novelli, Vettor Pisani e Giulio Turcato.

Museo Carlo Bilotti - Aranciera di Villa Borghese
Figures of desire is an exhibition born from the encounter between two artists of different backgrounds and nationality: Sonia Ros, Italian, and Katja Kotikoski, Finland.
This two-person exhibition presents a cross-section of the international art scene, suggesting the encounter and dialogue between two apparently different geographical and cultural contexts (the Baltic and the Mediterranean areas, the Northern and Southern Europe), but in fact similar to the attention to artistic research and innovation.
Some artists make of desire and its ability to ãshape the worldã the main theme of their work: this is the case of Sonia Ros and Katja Kotikoski. In fact, their artistic research is meant, in a different but complementary way, to investigate the relationship between desire, reality and humanity, staging the ãfigures of desireã seen from opposite points of view in some cases and coinciding in others. It is not just the expressive technique chosen by the two artists (for one of them sculpture, while painting for the other) to be different and complementary in this exhibition, it is the regime of the gaze that investigates the phenomenon and captures different moments of the relationship between
subject, world and desire.

Musei di Villa Torlonia: Casino dei Principi
La mostra presenta la figura di Bruno Canova, che nel suo ciclo L'arte della guerra ha realizzato opere di grande intensitû , di bruciante forza comunicativa e di raffinata qualitû costruttiva dedicate ai drammatici fatti storici della seconda guerra mondiale, agli eventi e alle scelte politiche che li hanno determinati.
Il ciclo û´ stato realizzato tra la fine degli anni Sessanta e gli anni Settanta, ma portato avanti fino alla scomparsa dellãartista, che ha scelto di usare il linguaggio delle arti visive per contribuire al grande mosaico collettivo della memoria, alla volontû e alla necessitû di continuare a trasmettere alle generazioni future il ricordo degli orrori delle dittature, della guerra, la memoria tragica della Shoah e della cancellazione violenta di tutti gli avversari del regime nazista. Per dare la sua testimonianza sulla tragedia in cui û´ stato coinvolto e sulle atrocitû a cui û´ sopravvissuto, Canova, internato nel 1944 come partigiano in un lager tedesco, ha dato vita a un progetto complesso, da cui û´ un nato un libro del 1972 e una mostra itinerante che ha toccato moltissime cittû italiane per piû¿ di quindici anni, dove hanno unãimportanza particolare le opere dedicate alle Leggi Razziali, alla persecuzione degli ebrei e alla Shoah. In questi lavori Canova unisce la sua formazione di avanguardia (legata alla grafica di Albe Steiner, Max Huber e alla fotografia di Luigi Veronesi) a una personale rielaborazione del collage futurista e dadaista e alla sua vocazione iconica di disegnatore e pittore. Questi lavori, frutto di lunghe ricerche storiche, utilizzano manifesti, ritagli di giornale e documenti originali inseriti nel corpo dellãopera, elementi verbovisivi, campiture quasi informali, disegni e parti dipinte. Il risultato û´ di grande forza espressiva e di dolente partecipazione, legata indubbiamente alla sua esperienza diretta, dove i simboli non restano sospesi come fredde evocazioni ma diventano elementi strutturali della potenza drammatica di opere colme di una intensa e sofferta capacitû di testimoniare ed evocare fatti e cose talmente spaventosi da giungere alla soglia dellãindicibile.

The HyperColumna project is an innovative approach to communication as it does not consider the visitor to be a passive recipient of culture, but wants to involve you in a process of knowledge that is personalized and free of constraints.
To achieve this goal, the project combines the potential of information technology with a hypermedia content platform, inspired by the frieze of Trajan's Column: HyperColumna brings to life the relationships between monuments, characters, historical events and places depicted in the very long bas-relief, connecting them with their reality and multiple contexts. Within the installation at the Trajanãs Markets - Museo dei Fori Imperiali, in collaboration with the University of Arkansas Rome Center, a pilot version of the system, which also innovates access to the information technological interface, will be hosted. It is a first taste of the project to give an idea of the flexibility and the potential of interaction and involvement of the user, who can roam freely within the narratives and related contents to fulfill the most diverse interests, driven by the curiosity and the pleasure of discovery in first person, whilst enjoying an innovative cultural experience. HyperColumna gives back all the original communicative value to the Trajanãs Column, making it also a key to spatial and chronological access: through it, the visitor will see the surrounding archaeological heritage through different eyes, no longer a silent witness of bygone eras, but also part of a wider matter that reaches the present.

Largely conceived and produced specifically for this exhibition, the works recreate and relive the rarefied and stylish atmosphere of a suspended time that fed itself on beauty.
The exhibition goes through the magical and mysterious world of emotions. Stolen from nature, returned from life, they welcome the visitors on a journey of contemporary art from the dreamlike and night space of Dependence. A sensory and emotional experience that relates to symbolism and history, looking at the stars and following the thoughts that shape the future.

The exhibition, organized by the European Chamber of Haute Couture, aims to show 60 years of the history of Italian costume, through the style of the Presidents of the Italian Republic.
Starting from 1948, the year in which De Nicola became the first President of the new Republic, Italy went through periods of crisis and recovery, major political and cultural goals, natural disasters and major political tragedies.
Our Presidents have accompanied, in their institutional role, along this journey, the profound changes in politics, society and culture. Their clothes, attitudes, verbal and physical, etiquette, and the relations with Italian people, are symbolic of this journey.
Fashion, as a social phenomenon, and particularly the great school of Italian Haute Couture, is certainly the best language to represent these years.

The National Museum in Palazzo Venezia is housing the first anthological exhibition to be devoted to the Venetian artist Carlo Saraceni, one of the first and most important disciples and interpreters of Caravaggio.
Arriving in Rome aged about twenty, at some time between 1598 and 1600, in the day when it was the capital of the Papal States, Saraceni worked there intensively for two decades, acquiring a substantial reputation before returning to his native Venice just a few months before he died there, aged only forty, in 1620. A gentleman painter, cultured, affluent and tending to the French taste according to several sources, Saraceni achieved a profound interpretation of the artistic culture of his day. Ranging from large altarpieces to tasteful little copperplates, his extensive artistic output is linked to the leading religious and aristocratic patrons of the time, as well as to several important painting projects, such as his work on the large fresco decoration of the frieze in the Royal Room in the Quirinale Palace, commissioned by Pope Paul V Borghese, providing us with a priceless cross-section of figurative culture in the early seventeenth century, especially in Rome.
The result of years of painstaking work, this exhibition was conceived by Rossella Vodret and is curated by Maria Giulia Aurigemma, assisted by an international academic committee chaired by Maurizio Calvesi and comprising scholars from the world's leading museums and institutions. The exhibition focuses on both the evolution of the painter's style, from the northern naturalism of his first landscapes to the style of Caravaggio, and the lively context in which he worked, investigating several notable aspects of his creativity, the fine balance of his composition, his pasty colours and his use of light, in works produced both for private patrons and for public altarpieces, achieving a keen sense of dialogue between the personalities depicted.
The works, some of which have been restored for the occasion, are on loan from churches, museums and international collections. Some of them, chosen from numerous countries in Europe and the United States, are now being shown in Italy for the first time. Their restoration means that these paintings can now be admired in all the splendour of their renewed colours, offering visitors new opportunities to interpret the various aspects of this great Venetian artist's work.
The catalogue is published by De Luca Editori d'Arte.

In the bicentenary of the Battle of Leipzig (16-19 October 1813) the Napoleonic Museum in Rome is planning a small exhibition focusing on an important piano dating from the second decade of the nineteenth century, belonging to the National Museum of Musical Instruments in Rome.
The piano lid, designed by the Viennese manufacturer Joachim Ehlers, represents the battle taken from a watercolour by the German painter Johann Adam Klein. The work of Klein is also known for a series of engraved versions, one of which, by Antonio Verico, is here on display with the painted version on the piano.
To complement the exhibition a series of graphic works depicting the different moments of the battle, some of them belonging to private collectors.

Over 70 photographs from the MAXXI Arte and MAXXI Architettura collections documenting the museum's long and successful collaboration with one of the greatest interpreters of architecture in Italy: this is MAXXI's tribute to Gabriele Basilico, a master photographer who succeeded though his work in offering the personal suggestions, reflections and visions of a great artist.
From the images of the Strait of Messina realised for the Atlante Italiano project in 2003, to the shots of the MAXXI construction site for Cantiere d'Autore in 2009 and through to the splendid photos dedicated to the exhibition of Luigi Moretti that inaugurated the museum in the May of 2010, the exhibition Gabriele Basilico. Photographs from the MAXXI Collections pieces together, through the numerous commissions undertaken, a true biography of MAXXI as well as the story of a fruitful partnership.
The show also features a series of photographs taken from the most significant chapters of Basilico's artistic career, such as the celebrated images of Beirut after the war and a series of portraits of Italian cities that testify to his extraordinary ability to read the urban landscape.
The exhibition is completed by a new documentary film by Amos Gitai devoted to the photographer: a long interview in which Basilico talks about his work and which is being previewed at MAXXI on the occasion of the exhibition.

The exhibition "MEDITERRANEUM" through sculptures, paintings, drawings, large mosaics presents the artistic artist Orestes Baldini around the icon of the "FISH".
This symbol of life, abundance, rebirth has strongly marked the culture of the peoples of the Mediterranean Sea, a source of livelihood but also redeeming food, a silent bearer of divine messages, a sign capable of penetrating and going beyond the unknown.
The exhibition has many influences, reflecting the multi-faceted aspect of the artist: sculptor, painter, set designer but also an actor and voice actor.

On display for the first time in Italy, a rich and complete corpus of engravings by the Serbian artist Veljko Mihajloviá: forty graphics (a characteristic technique of the Serbian artist) from the extraordinary cycle of Constantine and Elena, consisting of eighty aquatint works made in 2012.
Mihajloviá has chosen the most representative figure of Christian emperor iconographically associated to that of his mother Helen, the woman who, during a trip to Jerusalem, miraculously discovered the True Cross. The artist represented Constantine the Great and his mother Helena taking his inspiration from the frescoes of the churches and monasteries he visited in Serbia, Italy, Mount Athos, Albania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, and Hungary.

Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica - Palazzo Barberini
First monographic exhibition dedicated to the Renaissance painter Antoniozzo Romano (Antonio Aquili) (Rome 1435/40 - 1508), a leading figure of the Renaissance, who was active for almost half a century until the first decade of the sixteenth century in Rome and the Lazio region. The exhibition illustrates the context in which his artistic life developped and the key stages of his production.
About fifty works on display: polyptychs, large altarpieces, small devotional paintings, gold panels, and a cycle of frescoes, along with documents, that offer the public an overview of Antoniozzo's Renaissance "everyday life".
The event, sponsored and organized by the Soprintendenza, is curated by Anna Cavallaro and Stefano Petrocchi.

Lãartista tedesca, protagonista emergente della scena artistica contemporanea internazionale, presenta per la sua prima mostra personale in unãistituzione pubblica italiana unãinstallazione composta da una serie inedita di sedici lavori su carta di gradi dimensioni. La mostra û´ a cura di Maria Alicata.
Ogni disegno, come suggerisce il titolo della mostra, si riferisce a un capitolo o un estratto del libro di Niklas Luhmann Amore come passione, 1985, Laterza (titolo dellãedizione originale: Liebe als Passion. Zur Codierung von IntimitûÊt, 1982, Suhrkamp Verlag). Fedele alla teoria sistemica, lãautore traccia un quadro generale dell'evoluzione della semantica dell'amore che û´ innanzitutto un codice, un mezzo di comunicazione della sfera piû¿ intima e profonda della persona.
Partendo dallãanalisi del testo, Jorinde Voigt indaga a sua volta il processo di cognizione e comunicazione delle immagini interiori, individuali e collettive che risultano dal sentimento. Lãartista disegna dei modelli di pensiero, delle mappe concettuali, tramite una struttura di coordinate spazio-temporali e categorie, come la posizione e il movimento del soggetto, i punti cardinali, la velocitû del vento.

From the second half of the seventies Fiorella Rizzo tackles the mystery of life with a personal and authentic language.
The exhibition itinerary includes both her main historical works as well as her more recent oeuvres and takes the form of a real journey of discovery of the ego and of its realization through the creative act. This, according to the artist, coincides with the ãself-creativeã process. Her research integrates deep concepts and ideas to the knowledge of materials and means: land, seeds, glass and plexiglas as well as photographs and videos. Art, life and history are an area without borders for her research.
From the lightness of matter that characterized her first works of the seventies, unified by the common element of the seed, she passes to dense mixtures of red earth. This becomes, in the eighties, the artistãs usual medium, linked to an intense physical and spiritual relationship with her Southern origins.

Rome is the only European city to host for the first time an exhibition of the masterpieces of the Impressionist and Post Impressionist collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington.
Share your impressions on the exhibition on Twitter and Facebook using #impressionistiaroma.
The exhibition Gems of Impressionism. Paintings from the National Gallery of Art in Washington was born from the collaboration of two great institutions, Roma Capitale - Department of Culture, Creativity and Artistic Promotion, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington.
Towards the end of the 19220s, the American banker, businessman, industrialist, Andrew W. Mellon, started what would become one of the most important art collections in the world, with the ambition to embrace the best of European art from the Middle Ages to the eighteenth century. After his death in 1937, his offspring (Paul and Ailsa) carried on his legacy, cultivating the same passion of his father, enriching what is now known as the Mellon Collection, which is kept as a result of a donation, at the National Gallery of Art in Washington.
French artists in general and the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists in particular, have always had a great importance in the Mellon collection, not surprisingly it includes some of the most precious masterpieces of the period. The New exhibition space Ara Pacis will host artworks by arists such as Manet, Monet, Degas, Renoir, Boudin, Pissarro, Bonnard, Toulose-Lautrec, Cezanne, Gauguin, Van Gogh and Seurat.
The exhibition proposes a focus on the works of the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist collection. A unique exhibition of its kind, and made possible thanks to the loan of 68 artworks, with the intent to present not just an exhibition of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painters, but one that aims to present a different and exclusive point of view, that of a private art collection, with works purchased according to the personal and intimate taste of the collector, but with the communicative power that only the great masterpieces possess.

Emilio Greco, one of the great iconic sculptors of the twentieth century, was born one hundred years ago in Sicily and died in Rome in 1995, is the protagonist of an exhibition at the Museo di Roma, hosted in the halls of the ground floor of Palazzo Braschi. The exhibition includes drawings and sculptures that offer a sampling of the style and themes explored by the artist, especially related to the female body and expression.

From 2 October 2013 to 4 January 2014, for the first time in over two hundred years, an exhibition will bring back to life in the Vatican the charm of the eighteenth-century collections of the Profane Museums at the time of Pius VI, before the Napoleonic requisitions. It offers a unique opportunity to see reunited, in their original museum context, works previously exhibited in the Museum and now conserved in prestigious international cultural institutions. The exhibition will open simultaneously with the new display of the historical collections of the Profane Museum.
The Profane Museum, the original nucleus of the collections of profane antiquities in the future complex of the Vatican Museums, was created by Clement XIII (Rezzonico, 1758-1769) and enriched with further collections and furnishings under Pius VI (Braschi, 1775-1799). The conclusion of this demanding restoration project, which involved the entire collection and its context, is an opportunity to imagine a momentary "homecoming" of a nucleus of antique gems and cameos, mounted in elaborate Neoclassical settings at the end of the eighteenth century, and a valuable numismatic collection of Greek, Etruscan and Roman exemplars. Involved in the dramatic wartime events of the Napoleonic period, these works were transported to France as a war indemnity following the assassination of General Mathurin-Léonard Duphot in Rome in 1798.
Curated by Guido Cornini and Claudia Lega, curator and assistant in the Department of Decorative Arts of the Vatican Museums, the exhibition Precious antiquities: The Profane Museum at the time of Pius VI – presented in the evocative surroundings of the Room of the Aldobrandini Wedding – displays for the first time in over two hundred years works such as the Augustus Group, with its splendid portrait of the emperor in chalcedony, the famous Carpegna Cameo of magnificently engraved onyx depicting the Triumph of Bacchus, the "Delle Paste" Group, with a glass cameo pinax depicting the loves of Bacchus and Ariadne, and other Groups and cameos masterfully reinterpreted and infused with new life by Luigi Valadier, celebrated silversmith in Rome at the time of Pius VI.
Of particular note is the extraordinary Gonzaga Cameo, an exquisite Hellenistic creation portraying Ptolemy II Philadelphus and his wife Arsinoë, the final great acquisition of Pope Braschi in Rome still under the ancient regime. It was sequestered by Napoleon for Josephine Beauharnais, who subsequently gave it to the Tsar Alexander II of Russia, and is now one of the most admired pieces in the Hermitage. These works are accompanied by the beautiful copper plate engravings illustrating the collection of the Profane Museum, produced in the eighteenth century and held at the National Institute of Graphic Design, and a selection of coins from the Carpegna collection in the Vatican Numismatic Cabinet, alongside other pieces from the same original collection now held in the Cabinet des Médailles of the Bibliothèque nationale de France. Alongside these, there is the rare Etruscan coin from the "Valle Fuino" votive deposit near Cascia, unearthed at the time of Pius VI.
The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue published in three languages by Edizioni Musei Vaticani, which will present the works on display and their history, focusing on the Profane Museums during the pontificate of Pius VI, the period in which the collections reached the peak of their splendour.

This world-premiere exhibition presents the extraordinary work of Lee Jeffries, a self-taught photographer strongly influenced by the religious or spiritual and tolerant aspect of the city of Rome, where he took many of the most significant images on dispaly. Jeffries gave these people something more than personal dignity. He gave them a light in their eyes that depicts transcendence, a glimmer of light at the gates of Eden, so to speak.
Lee Jeffries, 41, lives in Manchester in the UK.
A chance meeting with a young homeless girl in the streets of London changes his artistic approach forever. Lee Jeffries recalls that, initially, he had stolen a photo from this young homeless girl huddled in a sleeping bag. The photographer knew that the young girl had noticed him but his first reaction was to leave. He says that something made him stay and go and discuss with the homeless girl. His perception about the homeless completely changes. They become the subject of his art. The models in his photographs are homeless people that he has met in Europe and in the United States: ô¨Situations arose, and I made an effort to learn to get to know each of the subjects before asking their permission to do their portrait.ô£ From then onwards, his photographs portray his convictions and his compassion to the world.
Until now, the photos were availble online only, where they have achieved fame, honors and awards.

The seventieth anniversary of the Allied Invasion of Italy with photos of the great war photographer on display at the Museo di Roma - Palazzo Braschi.
The exhibition aims to celebrate the seventieth anniversary of the Allied Invasion of Italy. The exhibition presents a selection of images taken by the Hungarian photographer and LIFE magazine reporter between July 1943 and January 1944 in the wake of the troops heading from Palermo to Monte Cassino. These photographs - previously unpublished - capture different moments of the military advance, such as the surrender of Palermo or the Four Days of Naples.
On 3 December 1938 Picture Post introduced 'The Greatest War Photographer in the World: Robert Capa' with a spread of 26 photographs taken during the Spanish Civil War.
But the 'greatest war photographer' hated war. Born Andre Friedmann to Jewish parents in Budapest in 1913, he studied political science at the Deutsche Hochschule fû¥r Politik in Berlin. Driven out of the country by the threat of a Nazi regime, he settled in Paris in 1933.
He was represented by Alliance Photo and met the journalist and photographer Gerda Taro. Together, they invented the 'famous' American photographer Robert Capa and began to sell his prints under that name. He met Pablo Picasso and Ernest Hemingway, and formed friendships with fellow photographers David 'Chim' Seymour and Henri Cartier-Bresson.
From 1936 onwards, Capa's coverage of the Spanish Civil War appeared regularly. His picture of a Loyalist soldier who had just been fatally wounded earned him his international reputation and became a powerful symbol of war.
After his companion, Gerda Taro, was killed in Spain, Capa travelled to China in 1938 and emigrated to New York a year later. As a correspondent in Europe, he photographed the Second World War, covering the landing of American troops on Omaha beach on D-Day, the liberation of Paris and the Battle of the Bulge.
In 1947 Capa founded Magnum Photos with Henri Cartier-Bresson, David Seymour, George Rodger and William Vandivert. On 25 May 1954 he was photographing for Life in Thai-Binh, Indochina, when he stepped on a landmine and was killed. The French army awarded him the Croix de Guerre with Palm post-humously. The Robert Capa Gold Medal Award was established in 1955 to reward exceptional professional merit.

Danubius is a photographic journey searching European identity after the enlargement to the east. It is a trip through the 2.860 kilometers of the river, from the source to the Delta, passing through several cities (Ulm, Linz, Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest, Vukovar, Belgrade, Tulcea) and small villages, great plains, wide landscapes, different people, customs and languages.
The author takes an inner and dreamlike path, lyric but also documentary overtone. Therefore, the river symbolizes both mystical-philosophical and historical-cultural aspects being at the same time a national, political and social border. It also holds a psychological, cultural and religious significance. Bulgarelli often leaves room for emotions, he focuses on moods, trying to trace different identities in a psychological and timeless dimension. Differences and similarities are the recurring themes of the various chapters. A metaphor of life cycles symbolized by the water of the river. The images were made with slides medium format (Mamiya 7 II) during seven trips in over two years.

On the occasion of the centenary of the first ready-made created by Duchamp (Bicycle wheel, 1913), the Galleria nazionale d'arte moderna is organizing, for the autumn 2013, an exhibition where will be presented the fourteen ready-mades donated by Arturo Schwarz to the museum in 1997, accompanied by a selection of important works and original documents, which are fundamental to an understanding of Duchamp's artistic path. The exhibition project focuses on organic and unconventional works, related to the word as a thought formulation: the art of Duchamp is concentrated on the dissociation between the content and the title, because he sees in the development of common objects the metamorphosis of a thought becoming action.
This show also intends to bear witness to the influence Duchamp had on the Italian art scene when, following the solo exhibitions at the Galleria Schwartz in Milan, from 5th June to 30th September 1965 and in Rome at the Spazio Gavina, in via Condotti, in June 1965, the artist gave the opportunity to some Italian artists to come into direct contact with him. In this exhibition are presented also works by: Baj, Baruchello, Dangelo, Patella,ecc.

Fondazione Roma Museo (Museo del Corso) - sede di Palazzo Sciarra
Promoted by Fondazione Roma and organised by Fondazione Roma-Arte-Musei, in association with the Museo del Tesoro di San Gennaro in Naples, the exhibition IL TESORO DI NAPOLI. I Capolavori del Museo di San Gennaro (Naples's Treasure. Masterpieces from the Museum of Saint Januarius) contains a selection of the most important works donated to this Saint over seven centuries by Popes, Emperors, European Kings and the very devoted people of Naples, which have never been shown before outside the Parthenopean city.
These works have a high artistic value: they were made, using an enormous amount of precious stones, by the most eminent goldsmiths of the time such as Michele Dato, author of the splendid Necklace of Saint Januarius and Matteo Treglia who created of the Mitre adorned with diamonds, emeralds, rubies; both masterpieces, together with many others, will be exceptionally displayed in the exhibition held in Palazzo Sciarra.
This exhibition proposes a critical-scientific approach to examining the Treasure, without overlooking the sensory echo aroused by the sight of its splendour and the historical references that surround its establishment.
During the exhibition the Fondazione Roma-Arte-Musei will organise a series of conferences and educational activities for schools and families in order to engage the public in the ancient art of goldsmiths.

Swinging at the Markets of Trajan in Rome. I liked everything of black music: rhythm, harmony, but I especially liked the swing, which I took inspiration from and still I do when I have to do something" (Lelio Luttazzi)
The exhibition "LelioSwing. 50 years of Italian history" - promoted by Roma Capitale, Department of Culture, Creativity and Artistic Promotion, Sovrintendenza Capitolina and the Fondazione Lelio Luttazzi - is a tribute to this unforgettable Maestro. An exhibition that tells the most important moments and the atmosphere of an era in Italy, from the postwar period through the sixties to the present time: personal objects, from the wooden radio to the television, space design, documents that mark the transition from "giazzo" to jazz. And photos of the post-war and the Dolce Vita periods, images and emotions that tell how a boy from Trieste, a "young fool", has managed to make his dream come true. A chronological path divided into 8 Halls and 7 Sections.

The occasion to dedicate an exhibition to Marcello Avenali, 20th century Roman artist who chose Rome as the centre of his activities, was generated by the donation in 2012 from the family Archives of a number of paintings that perfectly fit the Capitoline collection, established to document the tendencies and artists present in Rome.
The donated works are: Portrait of Anna, a panel painted in 1933 and depiction of absorbed interior contemplation that evokes the artistic culture of Novecento; Villa Borghese of 1938, a view of Rome of intense lyrical and expressive tension that denotes his adhesion to the Roman School; Angelina, a canvas painting of 1953 where, albeit with the force of the colour, we can detect that delicate moment of transition ã from figuration to abstraction ã that is characteristic of Avenaliãs art and, in general of Italian art in the middle of XX century.
These works are displayed together with the existing works in the collection, a result of previous acquisitions from Roman exhibitions and of other works from the sizeable Roman archive of his daughter Roberta, that have been expertly selected to testify the articulated abstract phase of the latter period of the artists production.
Within a limited exhibition space, the aim was to present a significant testimony of Marcello Avenaliãs entire production, his inexorable pursuit of expressive alternatives and technical solutions, an artist present in the main national exhibitions and with interesting experiences at an international level, enthusiastic teacher dedicated to his hole at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome where he shared with his students his immense experience.
A display of documentation lent by the Marcello Avenali Archive and by the Quadriennale di Roma foundation, completes the exhibition with photographs, letters, memorabilia, and sketches, showing the picture of an artist and of a period.

The Egyptian Museum of Turin, the Vatican Museums and the Capitoline Museums. The National Museum of Rome, the National Archaeological Museum of Naples and the Egyptian Museum of Florence. Not to mention the British Museum in London, the Louvre in Paris and the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. The world's most important museums have joined forces to loan out numerous prestigious pieces for several months, giving rise to one of the most fascinating and spectacular exhibitions of the year. Cleopatra returns to Rome after 13 years: the last major exhibition devoted to the Queen of Egypt was in 2000, when the Memmo Foundation paid tribute to her, bringing a record-breaking number of visitors to an exhibition in the Italian capital. A clear sign of the undoubted appeal that Cleopatra still holds: two thousand years after her death, the allure and charisma of the Egyptian Queen remain very much alive.
Produced by Arthemisia Group with DART Chiostro del Bramante, and curated by Giovanni Gentili, who previously curated the memorable exhibition devoted to Julius Caesar, the Cleopatra exhibition not only explores her life but for the first time examines her relationship with Rome. She was barely 20 when she seduced first Julius Caesar then Mark Anthony, interlacing sex and power in a way that has been instrumental in shaping world history ever since.
It is an intriguing coincidence that the city is hosting an exhibition on Augustus, Cleopatra's arch enemy, in the very same period: the two enemies appear destined to be eternally intertwined.
The 180 masterpieces on show include some leading highlights: the so-called "Nahman" portrait of Cleopatra, on show in Italy for the first time; an extraordinary portrait of Octavia, the wife of Mark Anthony and sister of Augustus, in the guise of Cleopatra, on show for the first time anywhere in the world; a portrait of the Queen of Egypt when very young, probably when she rose to the throne in 51 B.C., and also a world first; the "Guimet" portrait of Alexander the Great from the Louvre, a masterpiece of Hellenistic sculpture; an extraordinary bronze, never previously exhibited, depicting Alexander Helios, the son of Cleopatra and Mark Anthony, and the spectacular but little known mosaic of the Nile from the Museum of Priverno.
Lastly, two special treats for visitors: the internationally renowned archaeologist and writer Valerio Massimo Manfredi will be telling the story of Cleopatra and laying her secrets bare, and the audio guide to the exhibition is available to all free of charge.

An exhibition on the figure of Archimedes organized in collaboration with the Museo Galileo - Institute and Museum of the History of Science in Florence, with models he invented and archaeological findings from the ancient Syracuse, where the scientist lived in third century BC.
This exhibition presents Archimedes - a key figure of universal culture - to the wider public for the very first time. The staggering significance of his writings matched by his phenomenal intuition in the field of mechanical technology made Archimedes the precursor of the genius and inventor. His name is still synonymous with invention and innovation in industrial production and design.
This prompted the idea for an exhibition that would offer concrete testimony not only of his studies but of the city where he lived and of the technical and scientific civilisation that gained ground in the Mediterranean area in the 3rd century BC - and of which Syracuse was a splendid example. In the background are the relations between Syracuse and Alexandria in Egypt, a city visited by Archimedes and many learned figures in the 3rd century BC.
Archimedes' death at the hand of a Roman soldier during the siege of Syracuse in 212 BC was an epoch-making moment for the Ancient world and, paradoxically, marked Archimedes' rebirth, as the Romans started the process that turned him into a legend and celebrated the "divine genius" behind the concept of machines never previously seen.
The exhibition then narrates the second rebirth of Archimedes, commenced in the 13th century with the gradual rediscovery of his writings. After catalysing scholars, artists and scientists, Archimedes became a point of reference for the leading lights of the Scientific Revolution, who employed Archimedes' writings to lay the bases for the new science popularised in the 17th century.
The exhibit is divided into eight sections:
- Syracuse, Archimedes' Birthplace;
- Syracuse and the Mediterranean Area;
- Archimedes and Rome;
- Archimedes and Islam;
- The Western World Rediscovers Archimedes;
- Leonardo Vinci and Archimedes;
- Galileo Galilei and Archimedes;
- Archimedes and Geometry.

The exhibition reveals some unseen works by an extremely talented painter, still little known to the public of major art exhibitions.
The work documents, as in a cinematic sequence, the oil production chain: from the location of the wells to oil extraction and refining. A concatenation of images suspended in a rarefied light, with the logic of the Renaissance frieze. The impressive machines of the Centrale Montemartini, preserved in the Boiler Hall, is the backdrop to the painting, interacting in a natural way with the tangle of pipes, masts and drills that Bueno has imagined as a background for the figures of "Oil", creating an exciting relationship between the framework and the museum that houses it. The intent of Xavier Bueno is celebratory and dreamlike at the same time: "Oil" transforms the concreteness of the oil processing in an emblematic image of the industrial process, the effort of the workers: they become solemn figures and transmit the memory of Italy's Boom.

The artworks of the Gallery of Modern Art in Rome will offer a new and ideal reading of the correspondence between visual arts, literature and poetry in Rome, from the end of the XIX century to the 1960, when artists and writers worked together in a continuous exchange of ideas.
The exhibition aims to present to the public suggestions and ideas for a new reading of this intense and extended period, suggesting an easy journey through visual and sound materials.
The exhbition spans on the three floors of the museum presenting approximately 100works, including paintings and sculptures - including 85 works from the permanent collection of the Gallery of Modern Art in Rome and others from the Civic Museums or private collections - which interact with some writers, presenting an intense reading of the intense relationships and interactions between visual arts, literature and poetry, developed in Rome, from the beginning of the last century until the 1960s.
Each of the six thematic sections of the exhibition is dedicated to an important Italian author of the XX century (Gabriele D'Annunzio, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Bontempelli, Luigi Pirandello, Giuseppe Ungaretti, Alberto Moravia), recounted through the works of art, magazines, books, and multimedia devices.

Nel realizzare al MACRO un nuovo esemplare della serie Giant Decollage, l'artista sovrappone sulle pareti carte da parati da lei selezionate e poi, con unãazione repentina, le strappa e le distrugge, riproponendo visivamente lãapproccio consumistico - compulsivo e vorace -, legato allãacquisto e allãimmediato logoramento degli oggetti.

Organised to mark the 2000th anniversary of his death on 19 August 14 AD, the exhibition presents the stages in the dazzling personal story of Augustus in parallel with the birth of a new historical era. The adopted son and great-nephew of Julius Caesar, Augustus was a man endowed with exceptional charisma and political acumen. He succeeded, where even Caesar had failed, in putting an end to decades of bloody internecine strife that had worn the Roman Republic down to the bone, and in inaugurating a new political season: the Empire.
His reign, which lasted over forty years, was the longest in Roman history and the Empire achieved its moment of greatest expansion, covering the whole of the Mediterranean basin from Spain to Turkey, the Maghreb, Greece and Germany.
The end of the civil wars was skillfully peddled as an era of peace, prosperity and abundance: it was then that Rome saw the development of such crucial concepts as pax, pietas and concordia, sung by poets of the calibre of Virgil and Horace, and debated by the intellectuals and thinkers who met in the so-called circle of Maecenas.
The exhibition in the Scuderie del Quirinale, with a selection of approximately 200 exhibits of the highest artistic quality, offers visitors the opportunity to track the life and career of the princeps in parallel with the development of a new artistic culture and vocabulary that is still today the very foundation stone of Western civilisation.
The visual pivot of the exhibition comprises the celebrated statues of Augustus, brought together here for the very first time: Augustus as Pontifex Maximus from Via Labicana, now in the Museo Nazionale Romano, and the Augustus of Prima Porta from the Vatican Museums. This latter sculpture is set alongside its classical model, the famous Doryphoros from the Museo Archeologico in Naples, the standard par excellence of sculptural perfection in the Classical era. Visitors will also be able to admire part of the bronze equestrian statue of the emperor found at the bottom of the Aegean sea, loaned by Athens and on display in Italy for the very first time. While the splendid bronze portrait now in the British Museum comes from Meroë (Nubia, Egypt).
Evoking the flowering of a golden age, the so-called Grimani bas-reliefs depicting wild animals suckling their young are outstanding for their importance and their beauty, and they have been brought together exceptionally for this exhibition from the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna and the Museo di Palestrina. Also of outstanding importance is the group of the Niobids, an original Greek sculpture from a temple front which was set up in the Horti Sallustiani in Rome under Augustus and which has been reconstructed here by setting the two statues from the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen alongside the statue of an injured girl from the Museo Nazionale Romano.
The sculptural groups, expressing the new Classicism, are matched by such dazzling examples of decorative art as a large selection of pieces of silver from the treasure of Boscoreale, exceptionally loaned by the Louvre in Paris, and by such masterly representations of power in images of the ancient world as a set of extremely precious cameos from London, Vienna and the Metropolitan Museum in New York, that were used by members of the imperial family as personal gifts.
The exhibition winds up with an unprecedented reconstruction of eleven bas-reliefs, now split between Spain and Hungary, from a public building originally erected in Campania to commemorate Augustus after his death, telling to great effect the story of a naval clash at the battle of Actium in 31 B.C. which put an end to the civil war between Octavian and Mark Anthony and paved the way for the princeps' ultimate triumph.

Photo Exhibition
from 2009-05-09
L'esposizione, realizzata in collaborazione con Alinari Sole24Ore, presenta al pubblico una splendida selezione di immagini tratte dal ricco patrimonio iconografico raccolto nell'Archivio Storico Fotografico di Eur Spa.
Scorci, panoramiche, notturni: vedute inedite dell'evoluzione di un quartiere che rappresenta ancora oggi un modello urbanistico e architettonico imitato ed ammirato in tutto il mondo, riprodotte in oltre 30 scatti rigorosamente in bianco e nero, datati fra il 1938 e il 1960, selezionati a cura della direzione Comunicazione e Rapporti Istituzionali.
Nell'ambito della riqualificazione e rivalutazione degli ambienti dei suoi palazzi storici, all'interno del Palazzo delle Scienze - che già ospita il Museo dell'Alto Medio Evo - EUR SpA con questa mostra ha realizzato negli spazi della cosiddetta "Manica Lunga" un allestimento permanente con stampe attraverso cui è illustrato l'intero periodo della realizzazione del quartiere Eur, selezionate fra 3000 immagini già restaurate e catalogate da Alinari 24ORE di Firenze, che ne gestisce anche la fruizione on-line (www.alinariarchives.it), dal fondo che conta oltre 16.000 supporti fotografici fra lastre, pellicole e diapositive.
In questo modo EUR SpA mette a disposizione di studiosi, studenti e professionisti un importante spaccato storico, che al di là del periodo a lungo relegato solo nei libri scolastici, documenta dal punto di vista sociale e antropologico oltre che architettonico la sofferta crescita del "pentagono" romano, innestandola nella più vasta storia di Roma.

The Leonardo da Vinci Machines Exhibition in Rome – The genius and his inventions – celebrates the universal genius of Leonardo da Vinci by presenting about fifty full scale machines: flying machines, like the precursor to the parachute, a bicycle, a hydraulic saw, and many other inventions. They are all fully operational and they can be touched and set them in motion, to grant a deep interactive experience of understanding the genius of Leonardo da Vinci.
The machines are grouped into 5 sections. The four elements of nature - water, air, earth and fire and the mechanism section, which includes all those basic machines, with different possibility of application, like the conversion of motion or the endless screw. One of the most interesting project is the Armoured Tank, for the first time in Rome in life size: it weights two tons, and about six metres in diameter, and three metres high.
The Exhibition is inside the historical Palazzo della Cancelleria (Piazza della Cancelleria next to Piazza Campo de' Fiori) in Rome.
from 2013-11-01

I do not think I am alone in feeling that this country is in need of a serious overhaul. Sweeping reform, of a nature far deeper than the superficial changes conceived by consultants to seduce voters, is critical to our continued survival. If voter sentimentnat the last general election is any indication, I think I am similarly not alone in believing that a change of government is in order.

When Solly Walker '57CBA began his academic and athletic career at St. John's University in the early 1950s, little did he know that he was taking his first steps along a path that would lead him to become a legend in New York City. Solly came to St. John's from Boys High School in Brooklyn, where he excelled both in the classroom and on the basketball court, earning All-Scholastic and All-American honors. He continued his outstanding achievements at St. John's, leading his team in scoring, assists and rebounding.
It wasn't easy to be a Black man playing college sports during the era of Jim Crow. As one of the first Black college basketball players, Solly had to confront instances of racial discrimination when the St. John's team traveled to play colleges and universities in locations across the country. He was forced to deal with segregated rest rooms, water fountains and other public facilities, and on one occasion was refused meal service in a dining room, being relegated to eating away from his teammates in the kitchen.
Solly faced these unpleasant experiences with the quiet dignity and genuine respect for others that would characterize him for the rest of his life. He put aside the opportunity to play professional basketball, choosing instead to embark upon a career in education that would allow him to make a difference in the lives of thousands of young people both academically and athletically.
Beginning as a recreation teacher with the Bureau of Continuing Education of the New York City Board of Education even prior to his graduation from St. John's, his abilities to teach and inspire earned him promotions into the ranks of administration and, ultimately, a principalship. The classroom, however, was always his first love. "I loved the classroom," he said. "I always wanted to be with the kids there on the front lines. I became a family counselor, meeting with the kids and their families, making home visits, looking for kids who weren't coming to school, going with them to court if they got into trouble,"
Solly's day didn't end when the last classroom bell rang in the late afternoon. His commitment to the youth of New York led him to serve as a night center director, where he mentored and inspired young men while teaching them the intricacies of his beloved sport of basketball. "I was a teacher in the daytime and worked in recreation programs at night," he remarked. "I had the best of both worlds."
Now retired, Solly Walker looks back upon his life with a sense of accomplishment. He is grateful for the opportunity to have made a difference in so many lives, and hopes that many of them have reached out to others in similar fashion. He credits the University for instilling the values that have stayed with him throughout his life. "The values that I learned at St. John's have always been important to me," he said. "St. John's prepared me for life. It gave me the tools I needed to have a wonderful profession and the values I needed to raise a family in the best way."
Looking back on his career and his life, Solly Walker is pleased to offer some advice to the young people of today. "Time is precious. Every day is precious. Don't waste time, because a day lost you can never get back again. If you keep yourself occupied and on track, there's nothing that you can't do."

The "Around the World in 80 Ways" Dream Vacation Package
Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels
Talk about the trip of a lifetime! The "Around the World in 80 Ways" package is, of course, a tribute to the famous film "Around the World in 80 Days," and was created by The Leading Hotels of the World Ltd. as part of a fundraiser benefiting Elton John's AIDS Foundation. The trip was created as a celebration of the coinciding 80th anniversaries of the Academy Awards and The Leading Hotels of the World Ltd., and is LHW's effort to combine film and luxury travel into an extraordinary "Oscar-worthy" experience. The package covers the globe with gourmet meals, luxurious spa treatments, and tours of the local landscapes in exotic locales like Jaipur, Dubai, and Hong Kong, plus some more close-to-home destinations like London, New York, and San Francisco. Sounds like a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience -- see the details below.

Next up, Jimmy Hoffa.
Get a horse!
Michael Ibsen, the furniture maker, is the true King of England!
From what monarchal history I have read, various writers claimed it was slanderous revision of history on the part of the Tudors that made Richard out to be a murderous & evil crippled monster who killed the little princes in the tower in order to take the throne. Now the writers are going to have to make some historical revisions of their own.
For those who´d like an alternate theory from the now-is-the-winter-of-our-discontent Richard III, read "The Daughter of Time" by Josephine Tey. Fun alternative history cleverly disguised as a murder mystery.
#6, excellent suggestion. Tey is one of my favorite writers; in fact, I like her better than Christie for older British murder mysteries.
I´m excited. I love old English history. It was a long turbulent time.

Doctors offer free eye surgery for NFL ref
by Mike Garafolo, USA TODAY Sports
The NFL's long nationally televised nightmare is over.
After two full days of face-to-face talks following Monday's phone conversations, the league and the NFL Referees Association have reached an agreement to end the three-month lockout and send the regular officials back to work for this week's slate of games, beginning with Thursday's matchup between the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens.
The new agreement is for eight years and runs through the 2019 season, the longest such contract between the NFL and the officials in league history.
The replacement refs are gone after three chaotic weeks that included plenty of blown and missed calls, culminating in Monday's controversial call to end the Seattle Seahawks' victory over the Green Bay Packers in a touchdown instead of the proper call of an interception.
"We look forward to having the finest officials in sports back on the field, and I want to give a special thanks to NFL fans for their passion," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. "Now it's time to put the focus back on the teams and players where it belongs."
Referee Ed Hochuli, who has been working to keep the officials mentally sharp during the lockout via tests and weekly conference calls, spoke with USA TODAY Sports shortly after the agreement was announced.
"All of us are very, very happy that this got resolved," Hochuli said. "We're all excited to be back. And we're ready. I feel very good about the preparation of our leadership."
Hochuli said the officials will fly to Dallas on Friday and vote to ratify the agreement on Saturday. Goodell lifted the lockout so the regular officials can work Thursday's game, thus ensuring there will be no competitive disadvantage between the Ravens and Browns and those teams playing on Sunday.
Here's a look at how the major sticking points were resolved:
-- The defined pension plan will remain in place through the 2016 season or until the official reaches 20 years of service. After that, the 401(k) kicks in for all officials, with an average league contribution of $18,000 now up to an average of $23,000 by 2019.
-- The average salaries will increase from an average of $149,000 last year to $173,000 in 2013 and up to $205,000 by the end of the agreement.
-- The NFL's desire to hire more officials on a developmental basis was said to be an easy issue to work around, and that was the case. The union agreed to allow the league to hire those officials "for training and development purposes." There were indications the number of officials, who would basically serve as a "taxi squad" to make current officials more accountable, would be 21. The league didn't specify the number in their release announcing the agreement and said they have the right to determine the number of officials.
In short, the NFL got their environment of "accountability" for the current refs.
"The long-term future of our game requires that we seek improvement in every area, including officiating," Goodell said in his statement. "This agreement supports long-term reforms that will make officiating better. The teams, players and fans want and deserve both consistency and quality in officiating."
Said Hochuli, "We missed the preseason, but we're prepared from the standpoint of the video and the rules; we're prepared and ready to roll. And hopefully we can put this behind us. And we're all excited to be back."

Tomb Raider - More tombs, less torture please
- Categories
- Tomb Raider
- Square-Enix
- Crystal Dynamics
Ah, E3, that wonderful time of year when developers and publishers trip over themselves to announce their newest games or showcase the newest trailers for games they've already gushed over.
This year we've had a glut of hugely-exciting trailers already – and E3 proper hasn't even begun yet (take a look at what we're expecting from Microsoft and Nintendo at E3 2012). While we're sure we'll have a comment or opinion for all of them before the week is done, the one that caught our attention immediately is this one for Crystal Dynamics' and Square-Enix's Tomb Raider reboot.
While the trailer is certainly shiny and exhilarating, promising set-pieces and explosions and high-speed chases galore, we're not sure how "Tomb Raidery" it actually is. For a start, there're no actual tombs on display, no puzzles involving dragging blocks around, no dual-wielded pistols with which to annihilate endangered species of wildlife.
Also, we can't shake the slightly-unsettling "gore-porn" feel, or the fact that a lot of the trailer shows the charismatic Ms. Croft being roughhoused by various burly, grease-covered bad guy types. We're all for realism in games, but is this really the franchise for it? A franchise that, in ages past, has pitted its disproportionate heroine against Atlanteans, dinosaurs and actual magic? Also, it's an 18. That just doesn't feel right...
Heading in a vaguely (read: hugely) Uncharted-esque direction is a good move, we'll agree; combining large-scale platforming with breathtaking cinematics and light QTEs is all good, but – and we anticipate flack for this – how much of a Tomb Raider game is it? Really? Change the heroine's name and nationality and it could have been a brand new IP – something we had a chunter about recently in our article about videogame franchises. Hell, switch the perspective and it could double as Far Cry 3.
But we're not saying it doesn't look incredible; it definitely has the potential to blow us all away and, arguably, it's actually a brave move for Crystal Dynamics to take an established series down such a different path – but we're not entirely sure it deserves to be called Tomb Raider.
But what do you think?
Tomb Raider is developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Square-Enix. It is currently due for release in March 2013

I have no complaints for this product. Has cut 10 guage wire with no problem. I do demo work and these are my second pair. The first pair cut into a live wire (yes, it was suppose to be a dead wire according to electricans) and just like any other cutters it "ate" them up. The product cuts perfect for me with little effort.

I bought this with the primary purpose of cutting stainless steel cables for bicycles. These cables are thin, 2mm or less. I thought this tool would be overkill. Not a chance. The edge on blade was visibly rounded after the second attempt and the cable was mangled and useless. It's also ugly and rusted before I made it home. I don't understand the high ratings for it.

Good, cheap cutters
By Set Sail Marine

See all my reviews
These cutters work awesome on wire up to 2AWG, beyond that it is definitely a work out.I need clean cuts and that is difficult to achieve when you are having to work at cutting the wire.
Dirt cheap, works well
By Chris
from WA
About Me Beginner
Well... It's cheap and it does the job. The thickest it can cut is 2/0 cable. If you are cutting anything thicker like 4/0 - look into something bigger

Excellent value!
By bigboy1984
from Cameron, MO
I build large custom trucks for the electric and utility industry from pickup to semis. I use these multiple times a day cutting anything from 18 gauge wire to 4/0 cable. I have absolutely no complaints, they cut with ease and are sharp and stay that way.
Excellent tool!
from Cameron, Mo.
Used daily and handles up to 4/0 cable without any problems, sharp and cuts without much effort. Would be lost with out them.
Cuts Quickly, Efforlessly
By Expopro
from Cuauhtemoc, Chihuahua, MEXICO
This tool works great. It cuts quickly and effortlessly. I'm used to using electrician's pliers to cut and strip wire, but when you cut wires using this tool, you can really feel the difference. Do get it for large projects where you have to cut a lot of trams and when making pigtails before splicing.
Awesome Cutter's!!

These are great cutters, even at 3X the price. I was skeptical at first, but they've held up well and continue to work great 2 years later. They seem to cut wire very well, but also do a nice job cutting automotive hose with a nice clean, straight cut. Can't lose. Cobra 427 SC
