As one of the last works of the great Italian sculptor Arturo Martini (Treviso, 1946 – Milan, 1947) and the first commemorative monument to honour those who died in the resistance movement, Martini’s sculpture, Palinuro it is dedicated to the memory of Primo Visentin, the University of Padua graduate who was killed in an ambush just four days after Italy’s Liberation on April 29, 1945.

In a letter signed by Commander Andrea Cocco and the Chaplain of the Martiri del Grappa brigade (and President of the Committee) Don Giuseppe Menegon, states emblema universale delle aspirazioni umane ad astra, al riscatto e alla veritàas the reason for the donation of the work to the University. Preserved among the 1946 University of Padua rectoral papers, the letter continues to state,

"This marble of Masaccio (moniker for Primo Visentin) exalts the heroisms of the Brigades and the land made sacred by his blood is bestowed to this University of the Veneto... Never forgetting that this offer is for those who were one day Masters in Knowledge, and next, Masters and Brothers of War. This Committee honours Masaccio with this proposal and finds adequate acceptance.”

Commemorating the young master, the sculptor declares, "through him, are all the partisans", Martini refers to the Virgil’s myth of Palinurus in Aeneid, the helmsman who fell into the sea and found a cruel end waiting for him on the beaches of Italy. For years, the dramatic myth had fascinated Martini, an artist who changed and renewed the language of 20th century sculpture. Martini was involved in important public commissions during the Fascism reign, including some for the University of Padua, such as the majestic Tito Livio found in the atrium of Palazzo Liviano. After the first conception of the sketch for the sculpture, in which the basic idea was already configured but the subdued and mournful tone of the figure with a lowered head prevailed, Martini opted for its gaze to turn towards the stars, thus giving the work an accentuated positive meaning. The change is summarized by Martini in a conversation recorded by Nando Dunchi stating “a young man who (now) looks up, to a beautiful future.” The sculpture was unveiled and inaugurated in Padua on February 8, 1948.

palinuro restaurato

Today the Palinuro shines once more after its restoration under the supervision of the Superintendence of Archeology, Fine Arts, and Landscape for the metropolitan area of Venice and the Provinces of Belluno, Padua, and Treviso. The restoration was made possible thanks to the support of the Association of Friends of the University of Padua, the supervision of Monica Salvadori (Vice Rector of Historical and Cultural Heritage), the operational management of Chiara Marin, and executed under the restoration expert and art historian, Valentina Piovan.

Leading up to the restoration, Palinuro was in a non-optimal state of conservation. Incoherent deposits had given the sculpture a nonuniformed look with dark and light spots appearing such as to render the piece discoloured, especially along the areas of the abdomen, the folds of the drapery, and limb joints. The natural clarity and lustre of the marble had not been tarnished.

The restoration began with the removal of dirt along porous surfaces and scratch marks, while numerous, but not deep, these areas are now seen with greater clarity. The protective layers were also removed. Previously treated with polymerized linseed oil that had probably been applied in past to maintain the polish and to even out the imperfections. Layers of oil had formed stains and dripping as different absorption rates of the protective treatment depend on the porosity of the marble.

Incoherent deposits had given the sculpture a nonuniformed look with dark and light spots appearing such as to render the piece discoloured, especially along the areas of the abdomen, the folds of the drapery, and limb joints. The natural clarity and lustre of the marble had not been tarnished.

The restoration began with the removal of dirt along porous surfaces and scratch marks, while numerous, but not deep, these areas are now seen with greater clarity. The protective layers were also removed. Previously treated with polymerized linseed oil that had probably been applied in past to maintain the polish and to even out the imperfections. Layers of oil had formed stains and dripping as different absorption rates of the protective treatment depend on the porosity of the marble.

As one of the last works of the great Italian sculptor Arturo Martini (Treviso, 1946 – Milan, 1947) and the first commemorative monument to honour those who died in the resistance movement, Martini’s sculpture, Palinuro it is dedicated to the memory of Primo Visentin, the University of Padua graduate who was killed in an ambush just four days after Italy’s Liberation on April 29, 1945.

In a letter signed by Commander Andrea Cocco and the Chaplain of the Martiri del Grappa brigade (and President of the Committee) Don Giuseppe Menegon, states emblema universale delle aspirazioni umane ad astra, al riscatto e alla veritàas the reason for the donation of the work to the University. Preserved among the 1946 University of Padua rectoral papers, the letter continues to state,

"This marble of Masaccio (moniker for Primo Visentin) exalts the heroisms of the Brigades and the land made sacred by his blood is bestowed to this University of the Veneto... Never forgetting that this offer is for those who were one day Masters in Knowledge, and next, Masters and Brothers of War. This Committee honours Masaccio with this proposal and finds adequate acceptance.”

Commemorating the young master, the sculptor declares, "through him, are all the partisans", Martini refers to the Virgil’s myth of Palinurus in Aeneid, the helmsman who fell into the sea and found a cruel end waiting for him on the beaches of Italy. For years, the dramatic myth had fascinated Martini, an artist who changed and renewed the language of 20th century sculpture. Martini was involved in important public commissions during the Fascism reign, including some for the University of Padua, such as the majestic Tito Livio found in the atrium of Palazzo Liviano. After the first conception of the sketch for the sculpture, in which the basic idea was already configured but the subdued and mournful tone of the figure with a lowered head prevailed, Martini opted for its gaze to turn towards the stars, thus giving the work an accentuated positive meaning. The change is summarized by Martini in a conversation recorded by Nando Dunchi stating “a young man who (now) looks up, to a beautiful future.” The sculpture was unveiled and inaugurated in Padua on February 8, 1948.

Today the Palinuro shines once more after its restoration under the supervision of the Superintendence of Archeology, Fine Arts, and Landscape for the metropolitan area of Venice and the Provinces of Belluno, Padua, and Treviso. The restoration was made possible thanks to the support of the Association of Friends of the University of Padua, the supervision of Monica Salvadori (Vice Rector of Historical and Cultural Heritage), the operational management of Chiara Marin, and executed under the restoration expert and art historian, Valentina Piovan.

Il progetto europeo Appetite nasce dalla volontà di un gruppo di ricerca europeo di trovare le migliori strategie per favorire nelle persone anziane un invecchiamento positivo e in salute. L’approccio che è stato scelto è multidisciplinare e include sia aspetti legati alla nutrizione che all’esercizio fisico, entrambi elementi che nelle più recenti pubblicazioni scientifiche sono risultati ricoprire un ruolo cruciale per il benessere della persona anziana.

All’interno di un’eccellenza come l’Università di Padova, le ricercatrici e i ricercatori del Laboratorio di Fisiologia umana del Dipartimento di Scienze Biomediche, da tempo impegnati nello studio dei migliori percorsi per un invecchiamento attivo, hanno guadagnato una reputazione internazionale in questo campo e sono stati perciò chiamati da gruppi di ricerca di Irlanda, Germania e Francia, e come unico partner italiano, a contribuire con le proprie risorse e competenze al progetto Appetite.

Tutto parte da una banale quanto cruciale osservazione: la persona anziana inappetente, cioè con scarso appetito, non riesce a far fronte alle proprie esigenze nutrizionali con la consueta alimentazione. Così facendo si innesca una cascata di eventi che porta ad accelerare i processi di invecchiamento, tra i quali un ruolo preminente è rappresentato dalla perdita precoce e rapida di massa muscolare. Tale perdita si associa ad una riduzione della forza e più in generale della capacità di svolgere efficacemente ed autonomamente le normali attività della vita quotidiana. Allo stesso tempo però non dobbiamo dimenticare che gli esperti ci indicano come l’attività fisica da sola sia capace di ridurre tale perdita muscolare, prevenga molteplici patologie cardiovascolari (riduce ad esempio la pressione del sangue), metaboliche (ha effetto protettivo contro il diabete), oltre ad aumentare la massa ossea e contribuire al benessere cognitivo della persona.

Pertanto, questo ambizioso progetto in partenza per la fine del 2022, mira ad unire due aspetti centrali e fondamentali della vita di tutti noi: alimentazione e movimento.

La proposta dell’equipe guidata da Giuseppe De Vito, professore del Dipartimento di Scienze Biomediche dell’Università di Padova, è quindi rivolta a tutte le persone over-70 che hanno uno scarso appetito (cosiddette inappetenti) e propone un percorso di attività fisica sotto la guida di personale altamente qualificato unito ad indicazioni nutrizionali personalizzate. L’attività fisica sarà svolta in piccoli gruppi due volte alla settimana e verterà sull’incremento graduale delle capacità del singolo partecipante attraverso esercizi di forza degli arti inferiori e superiori, equilibrio e flessibilità. Inoltre, verrà valutato il profilo nutrizionale di ogni partecipante per fornire così indicazioni ottimali per il suo miglioramento.

In aggiunta a questo ogni partecipante potrà avvalersi di informazioni essenziali e complete riguardo il proprio stato di salute. All’interno del progetto, che è completamente gratuito, verranno infatti eseguiti esami strumentali avanzati tra i quali analisi della densitometria ossea e della composizione corporea, esami del sangue, indagine dei livelli di forza degli arti inferiori e superiori, ma anche test sulla funzionalità motoria e cognitiva.

Le attività proposte dal gruppo di ricerca terranno conto delle esigenze di ogni persona e verranno per quanto possibile adattate alla vita quotidiana di ogni partecipante. La speranza, dunque, è quella di poter coinvolgere una buona parte della popolazione del padovano per portare non solo un valido servizio alla nostra comunità ma anche fornire gli strumenti migliori per imparare a prendersi cura della propria salute.
