New Events




Friday, December 07, 2012
 5.30 PM
Italian Institute of Culture, Melbourne

The Italian Culture Institute will host a series of research seminars involving academics in Melbourne as well as guest speakers. The series of seminars titled Research in Italian Studies in Melbourne (RISM) is organized by Dr Patrizia Sambuco (Monash).
  
On the 7th of December at 5.30 RISM will offer a seminar by A/Prof. Susanna Scarparo who will talk on: 'Reconfiguring the Mother-Daughter Relationship in Francesca Comencini's Lo spazio bianco'. In this seminar, Susanna Scarparo discusses ways in which Francesca Comencini's Lo spazio bianco shifts the attention from the institution of motherhood and mother-daughter relationships to the complex and intimate account of the experience of bringing a daughter into this world from a mother's point of view.

Free event. Bookings essential.

Istituto Italiano di Cultura Melbourne

      

High Dynamic Rome is an exhibition portraying some of the most picturesque lanes and unique squares of Rome and the Vatican City. Some famous sites as the Pantheon, built by Emperor Hadrian in about 126AD, to some hidden corners, as the awesome back lanes of Navona Square. All the photos were made in a week long project in November 2011.

Rome is an open air museum and it deserves the right time to explore every square, every lane, every corner, every step, every gate, every bit of it. Rome required a greater usage of dynamic range from the lightest to the darkest area. This is my best way to represent and paint the city. I have decided to use a photography technique called HDR (High Dynamic Range) taking it to the extreme to give a soft and delicate painting effect.
