public while some 1,305years have elapsed since herfirst Doge, Pauluccio Ana-festo, was elected. Venice wasthus a leading player on theEuropean and world stage foreleven centuries – an unparal-leled achievement for anystate. Such extraordinary lon-gevity stemmed from manyfactors and many were theevents that contributed to for-ging the character of theVenetians and the city itself:the lagoon environment - pro-tective yet difficult to control -the hostility of enemies fromboth land and sea, theVenetians’ awareness of beingdifferent, to name but a few.These factors and morebrought a propensity towardscommitment, action and soli-darity among the Serenis-sima's inhabitants and alsoimplanted over the years astrong consciousness of theState. Such sentiments engen-dered a respect for all the“public assets”, seen as a civicand collective possession asopposed to the private owners-hip. The history of Veniceshows that the political incli-nation of the government wasalways to pursue the publicinterest. Even the peoples'assemblies, when they were incharge of running the State,proved capable of taking ap-parently conflicting decisionsdepending on the practicalrequirements. For their part, the political par-ties became united in facinghazards or promoting new

NIl Doge
una figura emblematica
THE DOGARESSA In the Serenissima Republic, after the Doge himself, the next
dignitary in line was his wife, the Dogaressa. From the
Promissione of 1229 she too made her entrance into the Palazzo,
she too crowned with a ducal “corno”. Over time, though, the
ceremony became so elaborate and expensive that in 1645 the
Republic decreed its abolishment. The dogaressa kept her posi-
tion and title, but could no longer don the ducal cap, a prohibi-
tion that was to last until the fall of the Republic with one sole
exception: after the conquest of Morea in 1694 and the conse-
quent coronation of Elisabetta Querini Valier.
LA DOGARESSADopo il Doge, la dogaressa fu la più importante figura rappre-
sentativa dello Stato. Dalla Promissione del 1229 fa anch'essa il
suo ingresso nel palazzo e viene coronata col corno ducale. La
cerimonia diventa nel tempo così dispendiosa che la
Repubblica nel 1645, durante la guerra di Candia, la elimina. La
dogaressa mantiene la sua posizione ed il titolo ma non porta
più il corno ducale in testa. La legge proibitiva dura fino alla
caduta della Repubblica con una sola eccezione: 1'incorona-
zione di Elisabetta Querini Valier, dopo le gloriose vittorie del
Morosini e la conquista della Morea nel 1694.

The Dogean emblematic figure
Dalla caduta della Re-pubblica di Veneziasono passati poco più
di duecento anni e dall'ele-zione del suo primo Doge,Pauluccio Anafesto, milletre-centocinque. Venezia ha vis-suto dunque da protagonistain Europa e nel mondo perundici secoli: un record a tut-t'oggi imbattuto. Molti i fat-tori all'origine di una cosìstraordinaria longevità e mol-ti i fatti che contribuirono aformare il carattere dellacittà e dei Veneziani: l'am-biente lagunare protettivoma difficile da controllare, l'ostilità di nemici di terra e dimare, la coscienza della pro-pria diversità. Tutto ciò svi-luppò nella Serenissima e neisuoi abitanti la propensioneall'impegno, alla azione, allasolidarietà, a radicare unforte senso dello Stato. A questi sentimenti si deve ilrispetto per tutto ciò che era"bene pubblico", inteso comepossesso civico e collettivo, incontrapposizione al possessoprivato. La storia di Veneziamostra, infatti, che l'orienta-mento politico del governo èsempre stato quello di perse-guire l'interesse pubblico;persino le assemblee popola-ri, quando la condotta delloStato era loro, sapevano pren-dere decisioni apparentemen-te contraddittorie a secondadelle esigenze e i partiti poli-tici si trovavano uniti quandosi era di fronte a un pericoloo a una impresa da promuo-vere.

ventures. Venice was an aristo-cratic republic for 500 years,but no government or demo-cracy has ever succeeded inexerting the power the Sere-nissima wielded with suchdexterity: the control of power,its limiting and channellingtowards what was consideredto be the best for “the com-mon good”. The figure of the Doge isemblematic in this scenario. A figure evolving over the cen-turies, he resided first on thecoast, at Eraclea, then Mala-mocco, and lastly on Venice'smain island, at Rialto, fromDuke and officer of Byzan-tium, he went on to becomean independent Doge withabsolute power. Later againhis powers were to be curtai-led, reducing him to a Stateemblem, still aloof but a meresymbol of the Grand Republic.In solemnitatibus imperator, in curia senator, in urbe captivus, ex urbe reus.Electoral law changed overthe centuries. The one of 1268- which aimed above all at pre-venting ballot rigging - lasted,with a few variations, until thefall of the Republic. Uponappointment, the Doge wascalled to swear his “Promis-sione ducale”, the oath regula-ting his powers. Since the 13thcentury, responsibility forchanging it according to theneeds was in the hands theCorrettori della Promissione;in 1501, these figures wereadded to by the Inquisitors,who, after the death of theDoge, checked that he hadkept faith to his oath. Thepolitical scope of the Doge’sactivity was extremely limited.Without permission, he couldnot renounce his appointmentbut could be forced out ofoffice; he could not increasehis powers, nor own assets

THE DOGES' CLOTHES The best-known feature of the Doges' attire is the traditional small hat,which was called the "corno” (horn) for its characteristic pointed shape.It was soft in the first years - somewhat reminiscent the berets of theOrient (the Doges' robes were inspired by Byzantine tastes) - while inaround 1200 it became stiffer and conical, as one of the symbols of thecoronation. The Doge would wear a cap of gold or silver cloth, scarletfabric, damask, and crimson velvet. At his coronation, he was crownedwith the “zoia”, a "corna" encrusted with precious gems that belonged tothe State and kept by the Procuratori of St. Mark. To have an inkling of itsvalue, the zoia renewed in 1555 was estimated at 194,092 ducats. Underthe peak, the Doge would wear a smaller cap of fine cloth, called“rensa”, which was worn even during the elevation ceremony in church.The ceremonial garb was made up of the dogalina, a sort of cassock, themajestic ducal mantle, and the collar. The dogalina and the mantle weremade of fabric while the collar, fastened with a gold clasp or bejewel-led, was in fur. The stockings and shoes, which were leather or fabricboots, were red. When not seen in public, the doge wore the Romana, ashaved crimson gown while, to attend the Councils, he put on a similarone called collegiale. The Doges' costume did not undergo any greatchanges over the centuries. Two curious things are worth noting about the doges' appearance: first,their hair, which was at first worn long, then short and then long againuntil, in the 18th century, it was ‘replaced’ by powdered wigs; the other isthat they could never wear anything which was black.
tere di Stato, ricevere doni.Doveva pagare le imposte,pur con qualche agevolazio-ne. Non poteva lasciare Vene-zia senza il permesso del Mag-gior Consiglio. Non gli erapermesso di andare ai caffè enei teatri o mettersi in vista:quando usciva vestiva comegli altri patrizi e non avevaonori speciali. Pur con questilimiti ad un Doge rimanevaun buon campo d’azione: pre-siedeva, però, tutti i consessidello Stato e poteva proporree votare. Gli atti pubblicidovevano portare la suafirma, doveva vigilare sulbuon andamento delle magi-strature e sulla amministra-zione della giustizia. Doveva appartenere ad unafamiglia iscritta nel MaggiorConsiglio ed avere un'etàinferiore ai quaranta anni. In realtà si sceglievano piùvecchi per esperienza e per-ché non rimanessero molto alungo sul trono. Non doveva possedere grandie straordinarie doti intellet-tuali, bastava che non fosseun'assoluta nullità e cheavesse prestanza fisica e capa-cità nel trattare. La lista civile fu sempre esi-gua e perciò doveva esserericco per poter sostenere lacarica. Nelle grandi cerimo-nie e nelle processioni segui-vano il Doge le insegne ed idistintivi particolari della suaalta dignità. Dopo la morteun suo ritratto veniva dipin-to, a spese della Repubblica,e collocato in Palazzo Ducale. Il 4 giugno 1797, caduta laRepubblica, in mezzo al paz-zesco tripudio dei Muni-cipalisti, le insegne dogalivennero arse sopra un rogoinsieme al libro d'oro e le ce-neri sparse al vento. Ma sono cose che accadono:sic transeat gloria mundi.
zia, seppur retto da unanomenclatura di elite, ha maisaputo esercitare così bene ilpotere acquisito, cioè control-larlo e limitarlo, indirizzan-dolo verso ciò che era ritenu-to essere il meglio, per il cosi-detto bene "nostro".La figura del Doge è emble-matica in questo scenario.La sua fisionomia non è statasempre la stessa. Residenteprima ad Eraclea, poi aMalamocco ed infine a Rial-to, da Duca e funzionario diBisanzio divenne Doge indi-pendente con potere assolutoe poi il Doge dei tempi stori-ci con poteri sempre minori,ridotto a simbolo della gran-de Repubblica ed insegnadello Stato.In solemnitatibus imperator, in curia senator,in urbe captivus, ex urbe reus.La legge elettorale mutò nelcorso dei secoli, quella del1268 durò con poche varian-ti, volte sopratutto ad evitarebrogli, fino alla caduta dellaRepubblica. Il Doge, al momento dellanomina, doveva giurare la"Promissione ducale" cheregolava i suoi poteri. A modificarla secondo lenecessità si occuparono, finodal secolo XIII, i Correttoridella Promissione; ad essivennero, nel 1501, aggiuntigli Inquisitori che verificava-no che il Doge defunto laavesse osservata. L'attivitàpolitica del Doge era limita-tissima. Non poteva rinun-ciare senza permesso al doga-do, ma poteva essere costret-to a farlo, aumentare i suoipoteri e possedere beni fuoridello Stato. Non poteva,senza l'assistenza e il permes-so dei suoi consiglieri, riceve-re personaggi in veste ufficia-le, dare risposte agli amba-sciatori, spedire o aprire let-
outside the State; he could notreceive persons in his officialcapacity, give official answersto ambassadors, send or openletters of State, or receive gifts.He also had to pay taxes. He could not leave Venicewithout permission from theGrand Council. He was notallowed to flaunt his presencein the cafés or theatres, couldonly go out when dressed likethe other patricians, not enjo-ying special honours. Despiteall these restrictions, the Dogewas free to preside over all theState’s meetings, at which hecould both make proposalsand take part in the voting.Public deeds had to bear thedoge’s signature and he hadthe responsibility of supervi-sing over the good working ofthe magistracies and justicesystems. He had to belong to afamily of the Grand Counciland, at least according to therules, he had to be youngerthan forty. In practice, though,doges were chosen from oldercitizens for their experienceand so that they would notremain in office for too long.As to their personal capacities,they were not required to haveexceptionally-gifted intellects,it being enough that they werenot completely inept, that theywere healthy and showed acertain degree of ability in theart of negotiation. After hisdeath, a portrait was paintedof him at the Republic'sexpense and put up in theDoges’ Palace. On 4 June1797, with the fall of theRepublic, in the midst of theMunicipalists’ jubilation, theducal insignias were burnt ona bonfire, together with thegolden book, and the ashesthrown to the wind. Howquickly the fame of the worldpasses: sic transeat gloriamundi.

I VESTITI DEI DOGI Il particolare più noto dell’abbigliamento dei Dogi è il tradizionale ber-retto che si chiamava “corno” per la sua caratteristica forma a punta.All’inizio era morbido e ricordava i berretti del vicino Oriente (gli abiti deiDogi erano del resto ispirati al gusto bizantino) mentre attorno al 1200diventò più rigido, di forma conica, uno dei simboli dell’incoronazione.Il Doge infatti usualmente portava un corno di tessuto d'oro o d'ar-gento, di panno scarlatto, di damasco, di velluto cremisi, mentre venivaincoronato con la “zoia”, un corno ricoperto di pietre preziose cheapparteneva allo Stato e veniva custodito dai procuratori di S. Marco.Per dare una idea del suo valore basti dire che quello rinnovato nel 1555fu stimato la somma di 194.092 ducati. Sotto il corno indossava una cuffietta di tela finissima di nome “rensa”che neppure durante l'elevazione in chiesa veniva tolta. Il vestito di ceri-monia si componeva della dogalina, specie di veste talare, del mae-stoso manto ducale e del bavero. La dogalina ed il manto erano di stoffa, mentre il collare fermato conborchia d'oro o gemmata era di pelliccia. Le calze e le scarpe, stivalet-ti di pelle o di stoffa, erano di colore rosso. Privatamente il doge indos-sava la romana, veste di raso cremisi, e per assistere ai Consigli una simi-le detta collegiale. Il costume del Doge sostanzialmente non cambiò nelcorso dei secoli. Due sono le curiosità, una riguarda i capelli che furonoprima lunghi, poi corti ed ancora lunghi fino ad essere sostituiti nel XVIIIsecolo da parrucche incipriate e l’altra il fatto che il Doge non potevamai portare il colore nero.

GENOESE DRAWINGS The exhibition presents Ligurian Drawings from the 16th and17th Centuries that are part of the permanent collection ofdrawings of the Office for Drawings and Prints (Gabinetto deiDisegni e Stampe) of the Accademia Galleries. Although theLigurian collection is rather small in size, its quality is beyonddoubt: it reaches extraordinary heights in some studies,especially those by Cambiaso and Grechetto. Their worksare flanked by Genoese artists of the 1500 and 1600s, inclu-ding Ottavio Semino, Lazzaro Tavarone, Giovan Battista Paggi,Gio Andrea Ansaldo, Bemardo Castello and DomenicoPiola.

The renowned polyptic by Carlo Crivelli, that was origi-
nally hosted in the Cathedral of Camerino and separated
in the 1800s, has been temporarily reassembled by the
Accademia Galleries. This is a unique chance to appreciate not
only the main parts of the masterpiece but also to reconstruct
the historical events and the many different stages of its conser-
vation that the three panels were subject to.
For this exceptional occasion the history of the panels and the
archives were carefully researched, a full iconographical study
was made and the paintings were scientifically appraised – using
advanced techniques – to shed new light on the pictorial exper-
tise of Carlo Crivelli.
II celebre polittico di Carlo Crivelli, originariamente nel duomo
di Camerino, danneggiato e scomposto nell'Ottocento,
viene provvisoriamente ricostruito alle Gallerie della
Accademia. Si tratta di un'occasione imperdibile per poter
apprezzare l'opera nelle sue componenti principali ma anche per
ricostruirne vicende storiche e vicissitudini conservative che,
assai diverse, hanno avuto come protagoniste le tre tavole. Per
quest'occasione straordinaria è stata condotta una accurata ricer-
ca storica e archivistica e uno studio iconografico mentre i dipin-
ti sono stati fatti oggetto di una indagine scientifica completa -
utilizzando anche tecnologie d'avanguardia - per portare nuova
luce sulla grande perizia pittorica di Carlo Crivelli.

ries and laceworks, and anumber of items of furniture,mosaic and silverware.However, the heart of theexhibition is made up of hisworks in glass, with a selec-tion of about 150 items:highly colourful murrine,enamelled and gilded glass,delicate objects in clear glassand refined incisi (engravedglass). The re-composition ofthe extraordinary decorativecycle of The Thousand andOne Nights is of particularimportance. This work, crea-ted for the Hotel Terminus inVenice in 1914, was later divi-ded up and it is beingbrought together now for thefirst time in its original lay-out. The work consists of aseries of twelve panels, cove-ring an area of about fortysquare metres, on which isrepresented, in a fairy-tale man-ner, a sumptuous procession ofmaidens, escorted by warriors,accompaniying Alladin, as headvances to ask for the hand ofPrincess Bard Al Budur, theSultan’s daughter. She acts asthe hieratic fulcrum of the com-position, which is permeated bya wholly Venetian sense ofcolour. Zecchin clearly harksback to Byzantine decorationand this endows the cycle withsuggestions of the Orient,although the artist is also care-ful not to lose sight of hisMuranese roots.Allusions to these origins canbe seen in the presence ofvarious circular elements, simi-lar to murrine, which adorn thegowns of the princess. Thegrand cycle thus constitutes aparadigm and a symbol of theclose continuity between pain-ting and glasswork.
una notevole selezione dellasignificativa produzione vetra-ria, esemplificata da circacento opere: dalle coloratissi-me murrine, ai vetri a smalti eoro, dai delicati trasparenti airaffinatissimi incisi. Di particolare rilievo edimpatto scenografico è laricomposizione, realizzata perla prima volta secondo la dis-posizione originaria, dellostraordinario ciclo pittoricodecorativo de Le Mille e unanotte eseguito nel 1914 perl’Hotel Terminus di Venezia,smembrato nel corso deglianni e in parte custodito oggialla Galleria Internazionaled’Arte Moderna di Ca’ Pesaro.L’opera si articola in una suc-cessione di dodici pannelli, suiquali è rappresentato, inun’atmosfera quasi fiabesca,un fastoso corteo di fanciulle,scortate da guerrieri che accom-pagnano Aladino, mentre sireca a chiedere in sposa laPrincipessa Badr Al Budur,figlia del Sultano. Essa funge da ieratico fulcrodella composizione, permeatadi un senso del colore tuttoveneziano in cui Zecchin recu-pera e trasforma il gusto bizan-tino della decorazione, densa disuggestioni orientali ma nondimentica delle radici murane-si dell’autore. A queste sembra infatti allude-re la presenza dei diversi ele-menti circolari, simili a murri-ne, che nelle varie declinazionicostituiscono ora i preziosi abitidelle principesse ora gli ele-menti della scena. In questo contesto il grandeciclo costituisce quasi il para-digma e il simbolo della strettacontinuità tra lavoro pittorico eproduzione vetraria.

La mostra presenta unaricca selezione di opererecenti in vetro – alcu-
ne create per quest’occasione– dell’artista Giorgio Vigna,integrate in un allestimentodello stesso autore, in cui ilvetro si fa tramite di unimmaginario percorso traacqua, fuoco e vento. I cinquanta lavori esposti -realizzati tra il 1998 e il 2002– includono, oltre ai celebrivasi-scultura, un’installazionedi sassi e una serie di gioielli,affiancati dalla singolare pre-sentazione del progetto e-jewels, ovvero gioielli virtualida scaricare dal web e“maneggiare” liberamente,proposta su supporti HewlettPackard. La ricerca artistica diGiorgio Vigna si snoda intor-no a forme e materiali capacidi mettere in risonanza forzaimmaginativa ed elementidella natura nei suoi aspettiprimari e primordiali.Avventure geologiche di terrae d’acqua, di fuoco e di ventocostituiscono il fulcro dellasua ricerca in cui si combina-no naturale e artificiale, pove-ro e prezioso, elementi delsenso comune e fantasticherieardite. Vigna si muove infatti su uninsolito confine tra il mondoreale e quello immaginario ele sue creazioni hanno il fasci-no degli oggetti che abitano isogni, familiari e alieni altempo stesso.
The exhibition presentsa rich selection ofrecent glass-art works
– some created for this occa-sion – by the artist GiorgioVigna, who has also organisedthe presentation format. Glasstakes us on an imaginary jour-ney amidst wind, fire andwater. As well as the famoussculpture-vases, the fiftyworks on show - all createdbetween 1998 and 2002 -include an installation of itemsand a series of jewellery, flan-ked by the unique presenta-tion of the e-jewels project:using technical solutions byHewlett Packard, these arevirtual jewels that can bedownloaded from the Internetand “handled” freely. Theartistic search of GiorgioVigna weaves in amongstforms and materials that cancreate a vibrancy of imagina-tive strength and elements ofnature in its primary and pri-mordial facets. Geologicaladventures of land and water,and of fire and wind, constitu-te the fulcrum of a search inwhich we witness a fusion ofthe natural and the artificial,the poor and the precious -elements of common senseand purely reckless fantasies.Vigna moves along an unusualboundary between the realand imaginary world and hiscreations withhold the allureof objects that dwell in one’sdreams: at once familiar and
alien. The material is workedfollowing its nature but alsoexploring its limits to thepoint of paradox and revea-ling its concealed potential,until it transcends itself tobecome a concrete expressionof possible worlds. The shapestoo are primary, elementary,unassailable and natural, uni-versal and timeless and alwaysreplete with symbolic values.A multi-talented artist anddesigner, Vigna creates jewels,sculptures, jewellery and itemsfor the home, some of whichalso having a practical use.
La materia viene lavorataassecondandone la natura maanche esplorandone i limitifino al paradosso e svelando-ne possibilità nascoste, fino adiventare altro da sé, concretaespressione di mondi possibi-li. Le forme sono anch'esseprimarie, elementari, forti enaturali, universali e senzatempo, sempre ricche divalenze simboliche. Artista e designer polivalente,Vigna è autore di gioielli,sculture, oggetti per il corpo eper lo spazio, dotati anche divalore d’uso.

The exhibition is dedica-ted to Niccolò Tom-maseo (Sebenik 1802 -
Florence 1874), on the secondcentenary of his birth. It cele-brates his cultural and lingui-stic interests and - more widely- the regions of Italy, Franceand the Adriatic of his times.Organised by FrancescoBruni, Professor of history atVenice University, the eventexpounds the role played byTommaseo in weaving Italian,southern-Slavic and neo-Greekculture into three inextricablestrands. Tommaseo thus beco-mes a window through whichwe can gain a better glimpse ofa world of rela-tionships - attimes pacific atothers wrackedin conflict -with the cultu-res vergingonto that cultu-ral space - theAdriatic Sea -which, beingopened up by the VenetianRepublic, lasted much longerthan the end of the politicalspace marked by the treaty ofCampoformio (17.10.1797).The exhibition is divided intothree parts dealing in turn withItaly, the southern Slavicworld, and Greece. Printedvolumes, maps, portraits,engravings and paintings com-plete the works on display.

Cannaregio, alla ricerca
della Venezia nascosta.Per conoscere una
delle zone più “vere” dellacittà, quella di Cannaregio, lacosiddetta Venezia dei vene-ziani, il percorso inizia dalGhetto ebraico, un complessourbanistico, architettonico emuseale unico nel suo genere,istituito dalla Repubblica diVenezia nel 1516 quale luogodi residenza coatta per gliebrei. Si parte dalle sinagoghe,o "Scole", costruite dai varigruppi etnici tra il primo quar-to del 1500 e la metà del 1600e dal piccolo ma ricchissimomuseo. E poi con una brevepasseggiata si giunge in campoSant’Alvise per visitare lachiesa omonima ove sono l’an-tico “barco”, il coro pensile
Cannaregio, discove-ring the hidden soulof Venice.
This walking tour offers achance to discover one of themost authentic areas ofVenice, the sestiere Can-naregio, called “Venice ofVenetians”. The route startswith a visit to the JewishGhetto. The ghetto, ancientseat of the “geto” (MetalsFoundry) was estabilished bythe Republic of Venice in1516 as the compulsory resi-dence for Jewish people. Thebest way of approaching thearea of the ghetto is through itssynagogues, or “Scole”, builtby different ethnic groupsstarting from the early 16thcentury to the first half of the17th century and the Jewish

The Le Zoie collection wasborn out of a dream - itscreator's dream of holding
Venice, the most beautiful city inthe world, in his hand. Keeping itthere in the palm of his hand fora few moments as if it had justcome out of a jewellery box. Ifyou walk around Venice's alleys,bridges and squares, you will rea-lise that this city is never still -reflections flicker on the walls ofthe palaces, waves break on thesteps of the landings, and theropes holding the gondolas andthe arches supporting the porti-coes move. To hold onto it, youneed to take the pieces apart andmount them in bracelets, broo-ches, pendants and rings
La collezione Le Zoie nasceda un sogno: il sogno dell'i-deatore di tenere in mano la
città più bella del mondo, Venezia.Tenerla per qualche istante nelpalmo della mano, come se fosseappena uscita da uno scrigno. Chi cammina per le calli, i ponti ei campi si accorge che questa cittànon sta mai ferma: oscillano iriflessi sui muri dei palazzi, sispaccano le onde sui gradini degli approdi, si muovono le cordeche trattengono le gondole, simuovono gli archi che sostengonoi portici. Per trattenerla, si devono smonta-re i pezzi e incastrarli nei braccia-li, nelle spille, nei pendenti, neglianelli.

Successful dinners are the result of the chef’sskills and the freshness and quality of every ingre-dient. The original product plays the initial lea-ding role, and a veil of extra-virgin Apulian oliveoil on a toasted slice of home-made bread maywhet the appetite as much as many a refinedgourmet dish. But without further ado, let’s lookat the tips from our Chef Antonella Pugliese.
Dietro il successo di una cena, oltre l’indispensabi-le abilità del cuoco c’è la freschezza e le qualità diogni singolo ingrediente. Il prodotto di partenzasvolge un ruolo di primaria importanza: un filod’olio extravergine di oliva della terra di Puglia suuna calda fetta di pane casereccio ci soddisfano isensi più del più elaborato piatto.

La polenta è il cuore della casa veneta,il simbolo popolare della sua cucina.Anche se a Venezia esistevano dolci
fatti con farina gialla prima della scopertadell'America e già dalla metà del 17° secoloin Friuli si faceva la polenta con il "granosaraceno", il che fa pensare che il mais siaarrivato nel Veneto attraverso i traffici vene-ziani con l'Oriente, le prime coltivazioni dimais si ebbero molto dopo. Solo allora i tra-dizionali cereali, in uso fin dai tempi deiromani, come il frumento, la segala, il farro,l'avena, l'orzo, il miglio vennero affiancati ein molti casi sostituiti dal mais americano,chiamato anche grano turco, e dalla patata.L’uso della polenta di granoturco risolsemolti dei problemi alimentari delle popola-zioni povere, fino a quando , nella metà del18th secolo, il grande consumo di questo ali-mento fu considerato la causa della pellagra.Ci vollero molti anni prima di capire che lapellagra era dovuta ad una carenza di vita-mine e che il mais avrebbe potuto continua-re ad essere la base della alimentazione pur-chè si provvedesse ad una giuta integrazione. La preparazione della polenta è da sempre lastessa: si fa cuocere la farina in acqua obrodo, vi si aggiunge burro, latte, formag-gio, carne sughi o altro e si ottengono lapolenta impastizada (pasticciata), la polentainfasolà (con i fagioli), la polenta onta(unta): tutte preparazioni attuali che sirifanno ad antica usanza.

Polenta is the heart of the Venetohome, the popular symbol of itscooking tradition. Although some
desserts were made with yellow flour inVenice before the discovery of America,and already from the mid 17th centurypolenta was made in Friuli using "buck-weat" - making one think that corn arrivedin Veneto through the Venetians' trade withthe Orient -, the earliest corn was actuallycultivated much later. Only then were thetraditional cereals that had been used sinceRoman times - such as wheat, rye, spelt(ancient cereal grain), oats, barley, millet -along with, and often replaced by,American sweetcorn and the potato. Theuse of sweetcorn to make polenta solvedmany food problems of the poor until themid 18th century, when its widespread con-sumption was blamed as the cause of pella-gra (niacin deficiency). Many years went bybefore the real culprit was singled out asbeing a lack of vitamins, and that corncould have continued to be the staple dietprovided more variety was added in. Thepreparation of polenta has remained largelyunchanged: the flour is cooked in water orbroth, and the butter, milk, cheese or otheringredients are added to obtain a host ofvarieties, including "polenta impastizada","polenta infasolà" (with beans), "polentaonta" (oily) – almost all still enjoyed todayand based on the ancient recipes.

Lusso senza tempo, gustoimpeccabile e alta qualità: èquesta la filosofia su cui si
fonda il marchio Tod’s, e che ha con-tribuito a rafforzare la fedeltà deisuoi clienti. Investimenti, ricerca,innovazione e una forte presenza sulmercato internazionale: ecco i puntiforte di Diego Della Valle.L’idea della scarpa con i gomminisulla suola è nata alla fine degli AnniSettanta. Per Diego Della Valle c’erabisogno di una scarpa che coniugas-se eleganza e alta qualità, e chepotesse essere indossata in ogni occa-sione, sia sul lavoro che durante iltempo libero. E’ nato così il mocassi-no di lusso, famoso oggi in tutto ilmondo, con la suola dai caratteristi-ci 133 gommini. Il 1997 ha visto unampliamento della collezione, nellaquale è stata introdotta una linea diborse al contempo classiche, moder-ne e chic, che rispecchiano sotto ogniprofilo lo spirito, la qualità e il designdella collezione di calzature Tod’s.Ogni fase della realizzazione di cia-scun pezzo è un vero capolavoroartigianale, dal taglio del pellamealla cucitura a mano delle parti, tuttielementi che contribuiscono al lussosenza tempo e all’alta qualità deiprodotti Tod’s. La filosofia di Tod’s èalla base del successo delle scarpe edelle borse. Ogni singolo prodotto èoggetto della medesima attenzione ericerca, dall’ideazione fino alla distri-buzione su mercati internazionali,dove viene amato dai clienti più affe-zionati e dalle celebrities.
Refined, understatedluxury, impeccabletaste and enviable
quality; these are the signposts that have alwaysdistinguished Tod’s, andthis is what has created theloyalty amongst our fans.The idea of the signatureshoe was born in the late1970s. It was Mr. DellaValle’s belief that peopleneeded a beautiful, wellmade shoe, that could beworn every time, in both aprofessional or elegantenvironment. He studied the conceptand the evolution led to thenow internationally renow-ned luxury moccasin, withthe trademark 133 rubberpebbles on the sole, and in1997 expanded its collec-tion, introducing a classic,modern, yet chic bags collection which reflectsthe spirit, quality anddesign of the Tod’s shoescollection perfectly.The philosophy behind oursignature shoes and bags iswhat drives Tod’s andevery piece that is madereceives the same care and research, from it’sinception to when it rea-ches the celebrities andcustomers that have grownto love Tod’s.
