Book excerpt: War and Art: The Preservation of Italian Treasures is the result of a joint effort by the Embassy of Italy in Washington, D.C., the Museo Centrale del Risorgimento in Rome, the National World War I Museum in Kansas City, and the Woodrow Wilson House in Washington, D.C.. All joined forces to ensure that the 100th anniversary of the start of the Great War is not forgotten. On July 27, 2014 the Embassy of Italy remembered the last day of peace before the tragedy of WWI with a touching ceremony. At Arlington National Cemetery, a trumpeter played the moving notes of our “The Silence” – our equivalent of “Taps” in the US, and traditionally performed when bidding farewell to the fallen – while musicians in other cities throughout the world simultaneously did the same. To fully understand such a world-changing event as the Great War is to ensure and preserve peace and democracy today. In addition, its comprehension enables us to reconcile our legitimate pride in our national identities with the deep awareness of being citizens of the world. This photographic exhibition, based on images from the Museo del Risorgimento’s archive, highlights the ravages that war can wreak not only on human beings, but also on what should be the inviolate beauty of art. This exhibit represents a unique opportunity to recapture and gain more insight into a significant part of our history. The specific focus on preserving cultural heritage provides a first-hand cultural and historical perspective of the conflict, as well as of the broader Italian framework. It was also thanks to the vital support of the US that Italy was able to preserve most of its artistic treasures – and thus of its identity – from ruthless annihilation. This was in some ways the precursor of a tradition that was later embodied by the notable Monuments Men during the Second World War.

Book excerpt: From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Monuments Men: "An astonishing account of a little-known American effort to save Italy's…art during World War II." —Tom Brokaw When Hitler’s armies occupied Italy in 1943, they also seized control of mankind’s greatest cultural treasures. As they had done throughout Europe, the Nazis could now plunder the masterpieces of the Renaissance, the treasures of the Vatican, and the antiquities of the Roman Empire. On the eve of the Allied invasion, General Dwight Eisenhower empowered a new kind of soldier to protect these historic riches. In May 1944 two unlikely American heroes—artist Deane Keller and scholar Fred Hartt—embarked from Naples on the treasure hunt of a lifetime, tracking billions of dollars of missing art, including works by Michelangelo, Donatello, Titian, Caravaggio, and Botticelli. With the German army retreating up the Italian peninsula, orders came from the highest levels of the Nazi government to transport truckloads of art north across the border into the Reich. Standing in the way was General Karl Wolff, a top-level Nazi officer. As German forces blew up the magnificent bridges of Florence, General Wolff commandeered the great collections of the Uffizi Gallery and Pitti Palace, later risking his life to negotiate a secret Nazi surrender with American spymaster Allen Dulles. Brilliantly researched and vividly written, the New York Times bestselling Saving Italy brings readers from Milan and the near destruction of The Last Supper to the inner sanctum of the Vatican and behind closed doors with the preeminent Allied and Axis leaders: Roosevelt, Eisenhower, and Churchill; Hitler, Göring, and Himmler. An unforgettable story of epic thievery and political intrigue, Saving Italy is a testament to heroism on behalf of art, culture, and history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War and Art: USA in Italy è la seconda tappa di un progetto di ricerca iniziato con War & Art: The Preservation of Italian Treasures. Questo secondo volume sottolinea l'importanza dell'ingresso degli Stati Uniti nella Prima Guerra Mondiale da diverse prospettive. La mostra fotografica, ora esposta al Pentagono, comprende immagini dal Museo del Risorgimento, dal Museo della Battaglia Vittorio Veneto, dal Museo Hemingway e della Grande Guerra, dagli archivi dei Foggiani e del U.S. 332nd Infantry Regiment WWI Centennial Committee, ed è stata coordinata dall'Ambasciata d'Italia a Washington. L'uso di fotografie per sottolineare il rapporto tra guerra e opere d'arte è stato strumento di propaganda nazionale, ma ci ha anche permesso di avere una documentazione dettagliata di ciò che veniva fatto a protezione delle stesse opere. I monumenti? Protetti e avvolti con sacchi di sabbia o alghe. I dipinti? Imballati e inviati in luoghi più sicuri. Gli affreschi? Protetti con materassi. L'Italia è riuscita a proteggere la maggior parte dei suoi tesori artistici – e quindi la propria identità – da uno spietato annullamento. All'epoca i fotografi e i pittori-soldati erano estremamente importanti nel mondo figurativo: attraverso le loro opere - disegni, schizzi e dipinti e, in questo caso, fotografie – hanno catturato gli orrori della guerra e li hanno saputo trasformare in qualcosa di unico: Arte. War and Art: USA in Italy is the second instalment in a longterm research project which started with War & Art: The Preservation of Italian Treasures. This second volume underlines the importance of the entrance of the United States into the war from a number of different perspectives. This photographic exhibition, now on display at the Pentagon, includes images from the Museo del Risorgimento, the Museo della Battaglia Vittorio Veneto, the Museo Hemingway e della Grande Guerra, the archives of the Foggiani and U.S. 332nd Infantry Regiment WWI Centennial Committee, and is the result of a joint effort coordinated by the Embassy of Italy in Washington, D.C. The use of photographs to underscore the relationship between war and works of art was a domestic propaganda tool, and also provided detailed documentation of efforts made to try and stop these artworks from being damaged and even destroyed. Monuments were protected and wrapped with sacks of sand or seaweed, paintings were packed and sent to safer places, and mattresses placed in front of frescoes and sculptures. Italy preserved most of its artistic treasures – and thus identity – from ruthless annihilation. At the time, photographers and soldier-painters were extremely important in the figurative world: through their works - such as drawings, sketches and paintings, and in this case photos – they captured the horrors of war and transformed them into evidence, as well into something unique: Art.

Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller "A poignant, fascinating story, bringing to life the soldier-scholars who saved Italy's treasures."—Evan Thomas, best-selling author of Ike’s Bluff and Sea of Thunder When Hitler’s armies occupied Italy in 1943, they also seized control of mankind’s greatest cultural treasures. As they had done throughout Europe, the Nazis could now plunder the masterpieces of the Renaissance, the treasures of the Vatican, and the antiquities of the Roman Empire.
