PRESS RELEASE
The exhibition, Made in Warhol, inserted into the schedule of TAORMINA ARTE, and with the sponsorship of the City of Taormina, is organized by Studio Soligo and cared by Giuseppe Stagnitta and Julie Kogler with the scientific advice of the art psychologist Alberto Angelini , documenting the great communicative power of the most eclectic personalities and important art of the ‘900: Andy Warhol. The works on display will be 60, coming from the famous collection Rosini-Gutman (from known Campbell’s Soup and Brillo the famous Marilyn Monroe and Mao, from Man Ray to John Gotti and Liz Taylor and rare work on canvas by Liza Minelli to name a few …) . At the same time the exhibition will propose the celebration of “Things”, “People” and “Symbols” applicants in business art of Andy Warhol (giving a cut exposure strictly “analytical” which will focus more on the personality of the artist, thanks to the contribution of the psychoanalyst Alberto Angelini) that have made him perhaps the most famous artist of the modern era: the posters of his films, the album covers including those of the Rolling Stones, Velvet Underground, Graces Jones, some clothes designed by himself portraits and video. You will find on display, in addition, the screening of a rare interview conducted by journalist Vanni Ronsisvalle in 1977 in Rome, where the artist is taken in his wanderings to the Eternal City, she meets characters right of the social fabric of the Roman period, as Federico Fellini and dwells contemplating the baroque architecture of the city center. Fame, fashion, act as triggering agents for the products of art, rather than works, made by manager / artist Warhol. Products in which the unique art is sublimated in the strength of the violent and disruptive screen printing, silkscreen granting the reproducibility of a matrix of originals that remain such, they become tools of communication. A serial production of objects / subjects as newspapers, decontextualized and made accessible to the general public due to their image / icon that does not require multiple interpretations or readings that have always addressed, limiting it, the vision of the art work towards spectators prepared. The portraits of some of the most famous celebrities of the international jet set testify the period “mundane” and glamorous undertaken by Andy Warhol during which the artist were commissioned portraits from all over the world and from many different social categories of people, as long as wealthy (“Painter of the court of the Seventies” is how the critic Robert Rosenblum defines Warhol). The development of communication skills, virtual or not, confirmed with the passage of time functionality, sometimes subliminal, aesthetic and stylistic choices of production made in Warhol in relation to the persuasive power of the image. A power increasingly inevitable, primary element in all social contexts in which Warhol and sociological communicates, impresses, conveys its values and its techniques and quotes.
The exhibition space will also cultural path Made in Benanti: contemporary art and especially the Pop Art, so closely linked to marketing and communication, approaches to wine and his way of communicating with a “Project “for Winery Benanti, TRANSFORMING the bottle containing the wine, and the wine itself, Work of Art.

Taormina Greek Theatre, June 11th 2015 @ 9.30pm
Twenty-two years after the events of Jurassic Park, Isla Nublar, an island located off Central America’s Pacific Coast near Costa Rica, now features a fully functioning dinosaur theme park, Jurassic World, as originally envisioned by John Hammond. This new park is owned by the Masrani Global Corporation. Owen Grady (Chris Pratt), a member of the park’s on-site staff, conducts behavioral research on a group of Velociraptors, known as Blue, Charlie, Delta and Echo. At the corporation’s request, the park’s geneticists create a hybrid dinosaurs known as Indominus rex (created from the DNA of Giganotosaurus, Rugops, Majungasaurus, and Carnotaurus) to boost visitor attendance. Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) is the park’s operations manager. Her nephews, Zach (Nick Robinson) and Gray (Ty Simpkins), are visiting the island when the hybrid escapes and are subsequently caught up in the creature’s deadly rampage. Now, it is up to Owen and Jurassic World’s security team to contain the hybrid dinosaur before she can cause more damage.

April 3 – Good Friday Procession
Taormina, April 3 2015 – Late afternoon/night
Good Friday is a religious holiday observed primarily by Christians commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. The holiday is observed during Holy Week on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday. In Taormina, the event starts in the late afternoon just before dusk, as hundreds of women clad in black, carrying orange-colored lanterns, descend the narrow steps linking the main streets, and begin the procession. A group of women support on their shoulders a statue of the blessed mother engulfed by flowers. A band playing somber music processes behind them, while the men of begin their march, bearing the statue of Jesus on their shoulders. The entire group slowly walks to the duomo and back.
All shop’s lighting and all street illumination on the Corso Umberto will be switched off, as soon as the procession is arriving. Only the candles of the procession give some low light. When it is passed by, the shopkeepers switch on the lights again.
Whether you’re Catholic or not, you can’t help but get caught up in the beauty, the history and the solemnity of the occasion.

The terraced gardens of Casa Cuseni are a remarkable feat of careful design, sound construction and skilful engineering. To hold the winter rainfall until the summertime, Kitson designed a set of large cisterns under the front terrace and the pergola, for which several wells and the swimming pool made further provision. The gardens were filled with citrus and other fruit trees as well as roses, vines and wisteria, some of which still adorn the terraces. They were an integral part of Kitson’s overall design, lined up on the axis of the house and enlivening the steep access to it. At every level there is a major feature to catch the eye (…).
