L'arte è fuori di sé perché sta vivendo una crisi d'identità senza precedenti, ingabbiata in un sistema autoreferenziale per addetti ai lavori, pilotato più da logiche di mercato e di immagine che da una sincera ispirazione, lontano dal vissuto e dalle sensibilità della gente. L'arte è fuori di sé perché sono esplosi tutti i codici e i confini. Il pubblico e gli stessi studiosi faticano a valutare che cosa sia arte e cosa non lo sia, e molti la confondono con la pubblicità, il design, la comunicazione, o con la mera replica di frammenti di realtà.

Avido di piacere non meno che di conoscenza, Raffaello Sanzio intuisce molto presto che soltanto nella Roma libera, felice e sfrenatamente sensuale di Giulio II e Leone X il suo talento potrà essere apprezzato. Vi arriva venticinquenne, la incarna e la seduce diventando nel giro di pochi mesi la stella più brillante del suo firmamento intellettuale. La morte, a soli 37 anni, lascia la città nella disperazione che segue la scomparsa di un principe ammirato e amato.

Che cosa hanno in comune Galla Placidia e Adriano Olivetti? La risposta è semplice: la passione per la bellezza, intesa non come effimero piacere estetico, quanto come un desiderio di meraviglia, alimentato dalla consapevolezza che attraverso l'arte si può migliorare il mondo e lasciare un segno duraturo nella storia. Come Isabella D'Este, Federico II di Svevia, Cosimo de' Medici, Alvise Pisani, Pio IV e molti altri, hanno "combattuto" per il trionfo dell'arte, aiutato e ispirato i creatori di opere immortali e finanziato progetti grandiosi sebbene, a volte, velleitari.

"Non basta essere competenti storici dell'arte per descrivere i luoghi in cui Paolo Sorrentino ha ambientato le splendide scene del suo film 'La Grande Bellezza'. Bisogna conoscere la città in profondità e aver esplorato alcuni tra i suoi angoli più segreti e privati, che spesso non appaiono neanche sui libri." Costantino D'Orazio ha investigato per anni la sua città, ne ha scandagliato i luoghi magici e sconosciuti, ne ha scrutato l'anima invisibile ai turisti.

Why has music so often served as an accomplice to transcendent expressions of gender? Why did the query "is he musical?" become code, in the 20th century, for "is he gay?" Why is music so inherently queer? For Sasha Geffen, the answers lie, in part, in music’s intrinsic quality of subliminal expression, which, through paradox and contradiction, allows rigid gender roles to fall away in a sensual and ambiguous exchange between performer and listener. Glitter Up the Dark traces the history of this gender fluidity in pop music from the early 20th century to the present day.
