Views from the Grand Tour: On Cinema and Architecture
Over the centuries, grand tourists have produced numerous literary
and artistic works that disseminated knowledge and captured the
imagination of Italy. How has cinema, an art form that emerged during
the fin-de-siècle and is uniquely adept at capturing architectural
and town-planning configurations, depicted the Grand Tour cities?
Following the lead of Bruno (1993), Bertozzi (2001), Cresti (2003)
and others, we invite panelists to consider the nexus between Italian
cinema and architecture, be it formal, structural, aesthetic,
ideological, socio-historical, cultural, functional, or gender-
related. Interdisciplinary and comparative studies are particularly
welcome.

University.
