Professor Nino Zchomelidse (Johns Hopkins University) presented a lecture in Italian titled 鈥淪cena Sacra 鈥 Tribuna Civica: Il ruolo dell鈥檃mbone nella Campania medievale.鈥 Prof. Zchomdelidse is a specialist in the arts of medieval Italy and their connections with the lands of the eastern Mediterranean\, and her recent work has focuse d especially on liturgical furnishings\, manuscripts\, and pulpits.\n\n\ n\n黑丝国产在线 Secretary (now Executive Vice President) Sean Roberts introduced the speaker\, whose lecture built upon research first presented in her r ecent book Art\, Ritual\, and Civic Identity in Medieval Southern Italy (Pennsylvania State University Press\, 2014).  \;Approximately 35 pe ople were in attendance\, split roughly 50/50 between English speaking s cholars and Italians. These included professors and students at the Univ ersit脿 degli Studi di Napoli Federico II\, several current Fellows from the Villa I Tatti in Florence\, and graduate students from American uni versities.\n\n\n\nIn her lecture\, Prof. Zchomdelidse sharpened the broa d geographic scope of her previous project to focus on mutable conceptio ns of ecclesiastical space\, and their relationship to a changing tradit ion of liturgy\, aptly within the environs of eleventh through thirteent h-century Naples and especially its environs in Campania. \; In part icular\, through readings of both extant examples and illustrations in p eriod manuscript illumination\, she explored the evolving function of th e ambo\, or pulpit\, in the churches of medieval Campania. Through a fin e-grained analysis of the use of these pulpits for staging readings of S cripture\, as well as the iconography of their decoration\, she presente d a compelling case for the ways in which liturgy was celebrated as a di stinctive and highly localized practice that varied widely from region t o region. The early twelfth-century pulpit at the cathedral of Ravello\, for instance\, employed the motif of Jonah being swallowed by and subse quently emerging from the whale both to emphasize a typological relation ship to the liturgy and simultaneously as a galvanizing image for the lo cal congregation as the story played a particularly prominent role in th e Easter Mass in Campania. In this way\, Prof. Zchomelidse convincingly demonstrated the ways in which pulpits served the dual purpose of re-sta ging scriptural\, and especially Christological\, spaces and events for believers while helping to craft a civic identity specific to medieval C ampania. A lively question and answer session followed the talk.\n\n\n\n The 黑丝国产在线 is deeply grateful to Vinni Lucherini\, Professoressa di Storia dell鈥檃rte medievale in the Dipartimento \;di Studi Umanistici\, Un iversit脿 degli Studi di Napoli Federico II\, Naples\, who organized the lecture as well as to Dr. Alessandra Rullo who provided invaluable assi stance in Naples and to Professore Francesco Aceto of the Universit脿 de gli Studi di Napoli Federico II who welcomed attendees.
