Villa and villeggiatura w nowożytnej Europie 1400-1600 3105-VAV-K
The lectures will explore the amazing ascendancy and lasting popularity of villeggiatura, phenomenon rooted in the conviction that a stay in the country offered release from the anxieties of urban life. The course investigates diverse ideological underpinnings of the villeggiatura and will trace how the villa was adopted in different cultural milieus, both shaping and reflecting contemporary social relations. Changing meanings of the term itself will be discussed, ranging from the classical notion of the villa as a landed estate, through the villa as a residence of the owner (casa di villa), to the current understanding of the villa, as a “building in the country designed for its owner’s enjoyment and relaxation” (Ackerman). The course will demonstrate how the humanistic tradition stretching back to Pliny and Varro tied the ambiguous notion of the villa to the classical ideal of otium, without casting it into a specific architectural shape or style. Consequently, the lectures will present the spectacular formal diversity of villa architecture, dependent of location, function and social status of the owner. The chronological overview, based on examination of contemporary texts and buildings, will include the development of the villeggiatura in antiquity, its decline in the Middle Ages, and then its revival, first in Tuscany, then in the Roman Campagna and finally in the Veneto.
