Beijings Forbidden City is a huge, walled palatial city within the new (more northern and eastern) capital chosen over Nanking by the great Ming emperor Chengzu Yongle, who seized the throne in 1402 from his elder brothers son by military coup. It symbolizes the vast empires then unequaled wealth and power, being the largest palace ever in the world, with halls worthy of the mandate of heaven, impressing any foreign delegation, accommodating thousands of courtiers, public/domestic servants and guards. This required crushing taxes and over a million laborers for most of his reign (until his death in 1424), using the best craftsmen and the finest materials, sparing no expense nor imports (like pigments from Europe), and innovative ways to produce and transport (partially on ice). It would require near-constant maintenance -modern restoration contributes to and benefits from studying its secrets- and frequent rebuilding, mainly after fires, but astonishingly survived well hundreds of seismic shocks, thanks to a brilliant, complex system of leading pressure from shaken pillars (with lose bases) and heavy roof structures to elaborate shock-breaking woodwork with intricately interlocking parts.

For Lucio
6.1
2021
Movie
HD
This is a tribute to an artist whose songs told the story of Italy at a time of rapid social and cultural change. Thanks to the testimony of the singers manager and friend Tobia Righi, and an effective and original use of archive material, Pietro Marcello retraces the life of Lucio Dalla, making him a spotlight through which Marcello sheds light on a country that rose from the ruins of the Second World War to sever its roots with peasant culture and move towards a future of factories, consumerism and mass car production. Not handsome or dashing like the other singers of his generation, Lucio Dalla embodied a different role model that was closer to ordinary people. For here was an artist capable of transposing the poetry of Roversi, who provided the lyrics for some of Dallas most beautiful songs, into a musical arrangement that spoke to everyone. The director of Martin Eden returns to the documentary form with a film that pays tribute not only to a great singer but also to a notion of a people that has vanished with him.
