Talk:Carlo Maderno

message: If Carlo Maderno was a "Swiss architect" as naively insisted upon, the "Swissness" of his architecture needs to be discussed. We await enlightenment from User:Cate. --Wetman 19:28, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: (Note: This is my first change about "swissness"). Your version was: Italian architect, born in Ticino (now part of Switzerland), which is not correct. The now implied that Ticino was not in Switzerland in 16 century. So I corrected in a formal way. But I wrote in changelog that nationality was not important in that epoch, so IMHO we could remove the "Swiss" (and "Italian"). Maybe you can enlight me what relation has nationality with architecture style. Cate 19:59, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: "Swiss architecture"

message: The page says that pope Paul V (former Camillo Borghese) appointed Maderno chief architect of St Peter's in 1603. This is strange because Camillo Borghese only bacame pope in 1605. 
The question is, is the date, the pope or just the name wrong...

thread_title: "Dates"

message: In the lead it is stated that Maderno was a Swiss-Italian architect, but the used reference (Britannica) says that he was Italian (in the link), and Roman (in the lead). I am well aware that he was born in today`s Ticino, but one should notice that at that time those territories were not a Canton, but merely a possession of Swiss German cantons. Moreover, he left his homeland when he was not notable. According to this criterium, we should write that Gian Lorenzo Bernini was a Spanish-Italian artist, since at that time Spain was owner of Naples. Alex2006 (talk) 16:55, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Alex2006, I think simply "Italian" would suffice. No need for the extra part about either Swiss or Spanish heritage given he didn't really have either. He wasn't "Swiss" in that same sense that we would think of Swiss heritage now. Nor was he "Spanish" either - he just happened to work in an area which was at that point under Spanish control. If someone was born in American-controlled Kabul after US troops arrived, we wouldn't call them "American". I say we stick to simply "Italian" like Britannica (and other sources) and that should be fine. Stalwart111 23:48, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with you, Stalwart: moreover, there is the WP:OPENPARA guideline, which is clear. Maderno (but also Borromini, Fontana, etc.) became all notable in Rome, and lived in Rome most of their life. I think we should write for all of them Italian, or at most Roman. Maybe it would be good to bring the discussion on Borromini's talk page. Alex2006 (talk) 06:43, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: For sure. I think "Italian" would be fine ("Roman" is generally taken to mean "Ancient Roman") and we should have a discussion about the same for other similar articles. Stalwart111 07:07, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

message: Hi. I was writing an article on some of Luca's works and got to this page. It got to my attention that only here is it written that he died in 1502. That makes no sense to me since this article ends by saying that he disappears from all written references from 1494. The most optimistic date I found on other sources was towards the end of 1495 (G. Milanesi, in G. Vasari, Le vite, II, Firenze 1878, p. 546 n.).

message: The death date is given in two different forms in this article, once as 26 Mar 1676 and once as 5 Apr 1676. This appears to be a new style / old style issue?

Talk:Thelma Terry

message: This article was nominated for deletion. The outcome was a speedy keep. Capitalistroadster 00:54, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Nomination for deletion under AFD

message: I've made significant changes to this page. My sources were David Apolloni's essay on Thelma Terry (Apolloni is a known and respected amateur jazz historian - virtually all jazz historians are amateurs, so that's not a slag at him) and the Red Hot Jazz website. I tried to retain a neutral point of view on this. 
One of the problems historians have researching 1920s jazz musicians is that outside of those that remained popular into the post-war period (Louis Armstrong and Gene Krupa to name two), there isn't much information on them and many of their recordings have disappeared. There wasn't as much money in recording as there was in touring in those days; fewer people owned record players and the sound quality wasn't that great. Often even notable pressings would only reach 1000 or 2000 copies.
I'll add photos when I figure out what is fair use and whether any of them could be public domain (pre-1923). Apolloni's article includes photos but says they're all copyright Thelma Terry's daughter. That's patently incorrect with respect to the MCA promo pieces, which (I'm guessing) are copyright MCA. 
For the person who asked who that guy was whose image was in an old edit - good question! He looks a bit like he should be running for elected office or giving financial advice on an American cable channel. I think he was in there simply because the file name is terry.jpg. --Charlene 01:35, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Pietro Rosa

message: How is it possible that Salvator Rosa be still alive in 1849 : 
:One of Rosa's ancestors was Salvator Rosa (1615-1673), an avid patriot for the defense of the city of Rome in 1849 during the Roman Republic (!!!)
as far as I can see, this would be a mistaking translation of the italian page :
:Pietro Rosa, nato a Roma il 10 novembre 1810, morto a Roma il 15 agosto 1891, discendente di Salvator Rosa, fu fervente patriota nel 1849 per la difesa della città durante la Repubblica Romana. 
I think it would be better like this : 
:One of Rosa's ancestors was Salvator Rosa (1615-1673). During the Roman Republic, Rosa was an avid patriot for the defense of the city of Rome in 1849.

Talk:Giovanni Branca

message: I was wondering if anyone would like to translate these for me: 
"Il manuale d'architettura di Giovanni Branca
Tesi di laurea discussa all’I.U.A.V., laureande N. Purin, E. F. Vittorini, relatori F. Laner, U. Barbisan, a.a. 1995-1996.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Oggetto della tesi è l’analisi del Manuale d’architettura, edito ad Ascoli nel 1629 e scritto da Giovanni Branca, primo manuale “tascabile” della disciplina.
Il Manuale si presenta come una “guida” pratica per la progettazione e costruzione, secondo i canoni del Seicento, strumento di lavoro che lo stesso autore definisce essere “solamente fatto per suo commentario portatile” ed utile perché “non potendo haver sempre commodità de libri”, compendiava lo stretto necessario per l’arte del costruire.
A riguardo del legno, Branca ripropone la classificazione dei legnami, perfezionandole, del Palladio, le riflessioni dell’Alberti e di Vitruvio. 
Nell’edizione del 1772, curata da Leonardo De Vegni, sono apportate alcune integrazioni che riguardano anche la resistenza del legno, sulla scorta delle osservazioni di Buffon e Du Hamel. Le sistematiche ricerche di Buffon sulla resistenza del legno, compiute attraverso un gran numero di sperimentazioni, risultano di grande interesse per il De Vegni che le definisce “esperimenti fatti modernamente con massima accuratezza”. De Vegni evidenzia che “i legni da sostenere peso, come le travi etc, non debbono aver la base quadrata, cioè non debbono essere tanto grossi quanto alti; mi starà l’altezza loro alla larghezza come 2 a 1, o almeno come 5 a 7. Crescendo l’altezza cresce all’eccesso la resistenza. Facendo uso di questa verità, potrà talora risparmiarsi molta spesa e molto peso nelle fabbriche”
Il De Vegni sembra aver chiaro il vantaggio della sezione rettangolare, questione intuita nel Seicento da Galilei e correttamente codificata nel Settecento da Parent."
