During the workshop the students will follow the essential steps to making a fresco: for example they will learn how to prepare the arriccio (the preliminary layer of plaster spread on the tile), the cardboard for the sinopia and the use of the pigments.

The most peculiar quality of the fresco painting lies undoubtedly in its making: the pigment - a natural material – is laid on a fresh plastesetr several times in a short lapse of time, and through a cohesion process it fixes itself in the plaster, creating warm and subtle tones.

The teacher will guide the students through the different phases of this original and ancient technique. At the end of this short but very intensive workshop, students will have acquired the necessary skills for making a fresco on their own.

For more details please visit the Fresco Workshop page or contact AdG school at info@adg.it.

Mercado de Navidad en Florencia

Con la llegada de diciembre nos acercamos a las celebraciones más alegres del año, la Navidad y el cierre del 2011. Varias serán las manifestaciones que se realizarán en Florencia durante este mes y hasta el día de la Epifania, empezamos con el ya clásico Mercado de Navidad que desde hace 10 años alegra la explanada de Santa Croce, en esta ocasión con algunas modificaciones, ya no se trata del “Weihnachtsmarkt” de Heidelberg, ahora es un Mercado Navideño que contará con la presencia de 55 casitas de madera que representarán a 16 países entre los que se encuentran, además de Italia y Alemania, Bielorusia, Lituania y Eslovenia entre otros.

El “Mercatino di Natale” estará abierto a partir del 30 de noviembre y hasta el 18 de diciembre todos los días de las 10:00 a las 22:00 hrs, ofreciendo, como cada año, stands con adornos navideños típicos de Alemania, los tradicionales puestos con salchichas, chamorros, Pretzels y como novedad encontraremos espacios reservados a la comida típica de la Región Toscana, donde la pappa al pomodoro, ribollita, frijoles con salchicha y la chianti-burger, jugarán en casa, siempre acompañados de un buen Chianti.

No podemos dejar de mencionar la Fierucola dell’Immacolata que se llevará a cabo el Jueves 8 de diciembre en la Plaza de la Santísima Annunziata durante todo el día a partir de las 9:00, este mercado se caracteriza principalmente por la oferta de productos de temporada de agricultura biológica y artesanal, una buena idea para comprar regalos de Navidad con sabor Toscano.

El Domingo 18 de diciembre en la plaza del “Santo Spirito”, se realizará la tradicional Fierucolina de Navidad, durante todo el día encontraremos stands con productos típicos de la Región.

Y para ayudar a quien más lo necesita, a partir del Viernes 2 de diciembre a las 15:30 y hasta el Domingo 4 a las 19:00 en el OBIHALL tendrá lugar el tradicional Mercado de la Cruz Roja Italiana. Basta visitar el Mercado, que tiene un costo de 5 Euro para dar una mano a las personas necesitadas del área fiorentina, realizar nuestras compras de Navidad durante la manifestación también será de ayuda ya que se pondrán a la venta varios objetos donados a la CRI, las más variadas especialidades gastronómicas, ropa, decoraciones para la casa y para alegrar  las fiestas natalicias.

Y si su agenda se los permite incluyan también los cursos de italiano para extranjeros que organiza Accademia del Giglio.

Fresco

El fresco es una de las técnicas pictóricas más antiguas y complicadas, ya que requiere varios días de trabaj y reposo obligartorio. Los inventores fueron los egipcios, más tarde transmitieron la técnica a los griegos, pero fue con Giotto que el fresco adquirió la importancia histórico artística reconocida universalmente.
