Heritage Landscapes vol.44

Divisare means to imagine and design with the mind: this was said by Leon Battista Alberti, architect and philosopher of the 15th century, describing the very heart of an architect's work. Today, this concept takes shape in a unique digital archive, built and curated entirely in Rome, which collects and organizes the best of contemporary architecture.

Divisare is much more than just a platform: it is a veritable library of thematic albums organized by elements, cities, houses, ideas, materials, plants, details, private and public interiors, topics, and types, providing a broad and organized overview of contemporary architectural design.

The result of over twenty years of selection and classification, the archive is updated image by image, project by project, to offer professionals and enthusiasts an ideal tool for navigating contemporary architecture. Instead of the quick and distracted browsing of the web, Divisare offers a slow and careful experience, inviting users to absorb knowledge without haste or distractions, focusing on the details.
With more than 30,000 carefully selected project files divided into over 600 thematic collections, Divisare is a valuable resource for those who want to keep up to date, study, and gain a deep understanding of the evolution of this art form.

"Architettore chiamerò io colui, il quale saprà con certa, e maravigliosa ragione, e regola, sì con la mente, e con lo animo divisare."
- Leon Battista Alberti

On the bicentenary of Giovanni Fattori's birth, Livorno celebrates its 19th-century master with a major cultural event. From September 6, 2025, to January 11, 2026, Villa Mimbelli, home to the Fattori Civic Museum, reopens after restoration to host the exhibition Giovanni Fattori. A revolution in painting. Over 200 works, including paintings, drawings, and etchings, recount the artist's evolution and his authentic view of nature, landscape, and social reality. The reopening of the museum also marks the launch of W FATTORI, the Livorno City Council's project to promote the city's artistic and cultural heritage. The program will transform Villa Mimbelli into a dynamic center, with new activities and renovated spaces.
