A related essay by Simonetta Antellini discusses de Chirico&rsquo;s writing style and use of the German language. Other essays include Fabio Benzi&rsquo;s examination of Florence&rsquo;s cultural milieu in the years 1910&ndash;1911, which analyzes the musical, artistic, literary, and philosophical context in which Metaphysics was born. Elena Pontiggia presents a large and previously unpublished collection of letters written by de Chirico to his mother Gemma Cervetto, which has recently been acquired by the Foundation. Riccardo Dottori&rsquo;s article offers a new interpretation of the painting <em>Serenata<\/em> (1910), based on a fresh literary source: <em>On the Cave of the Nymphs<\/em> by the ancient Neoplatonic philosopher Porphyry. Completing this volume is a narrative essay by Italo Calvino entitled <em>Cities of Thought<\/em> (1983), translated into English and introduced by Anne Greeley, which was published alongside a major Paris retrospective of de Chirico&rsquo;s metaphysical works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This issue of Metaphysical Art closes with a description of the Foundation&rsquo;s activities and publications for 2021\/2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":36579,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5523],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-36578","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-art","7":"author-by-author-fondazione-giorgio-and-isa-de-chirico","8":"publisher-manfredi-edizioni","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
