Digital Library — Collection “Habitus paths between costume and architecture”

The collection includes the digital images taken by Prof. Domenico Attademo to the vintage clothes that Tommaso Lagattolla, professor of Costume Chair for the Scenography of the Academy of Fine Arts in Bari, has made during the workshops of Costume for the Show and Theatre of the Festival. During the workshops, the students have skillfully practiced the faithful reproduction of the costumes that the photographs collected here represent, learning both the main tailoring techniques for the scenography and the history of the Apulian costume. The dresses reproduced are only a small part of Prof. Lagattolla’s work, chosen to be exhibited in the exhibition "Habitus. Paths between Costume and Architecture", set up at the underground space of the Fortino di Sant’Antonio di Bari curated by him, from 10 to 15 June 2014. The exhibition, sponsored by the Municipality of Bari, the Academy and the FEDAC (Federation of Associations for Culture of the Land of Bari) and supported by the Agorà Mediterranea Cultural Association, includes the clothes faithfully reproduced on three exhibition islands that trace the history of the city from the 4th to the 20th century. For this reason, together with the exhibition, 3 cultural paths have been studied that reflect the chronology of the clothes proposed, curated by the Cultural Association of Bari ArTA. The Byzantine/Medieval route has touched Palazzo Simi, the Case Torri dell’Isolato 49, the Succorpo of the Cathedral and Santa Maria del Buon Consiglio; the Renaissance and neoclassical one involved Piazza Mercantile, the Church of San Michele Arcangelo, the Church of Sant’Anna, after touching Castello, Basilica of San Nicola and Palazzo Zizzi, places linked to the figure of Bona Sforza. The elegant and charismatic atmosphere of the Liberty and Deco period has been relived by visiting Piazza Ferrarese, the Church of San Domenico and especially the places of worship of the worldly life and the Baroque bourgeoisie of the twentieth century: Piccinni Theatre, Mincuzzi Palace, Petruzzelli Theatre, Bank of Italy, Palace of the Chamber of Commerce and Margherita Theatre
