Hemingway writer of portrait of oneself
Two romance of Hemingway The sun also rises and Farewell to arms are two national portrait to two country, Spain and Italy, but twice characterized by journalistic style; The sun also rises is a portrait of Spain and he described this country with all characteristic, but with a journalistic style, in fact we red this romance and is very difficult find a history, but we red alone episode very insignificant but it is credible Hemingway wanted show Spain alone, and habit, he took Spain culture and costume and he has showed alone this country, in fact he describe some town of Spanish cities that he visited, because we must consider that Hemingway was a journalist, therefore he seen these cities, and he shows his love to bullfight and he describes cities and towns and all is kept among description of actions and words with very little follow to history; Hemingway tells around daily actions and he portraits Spain and Spanish. To Farewell to arms is a tale during first word war, it follows same style and Hemingway tells around some character with wealth of particulars, also useless but necessary to history and tale, that is very adherent to reality because to Italy Hemingway has had a medal of valour at 1918 in Italy, therefore he, that begun his writer work at journal Kansas City Star, he translated this style in his literacies romance, and this romance is particular autobiographical because he tells his stay in hospital, time he passed in hospital because he was hurt, therefore he described this time and his hurt to knee, and he describes Italian towns where is happened first word war, and some episode that he was protagonist; then it is a personal diary of first word war, has had Hemingway capacity of storyteller; or better his story.

Angelo Guerra: a painter for cloisters

I understand that this title is very strange to assay of art history, but i have considered this necessary to portrait a painter that has worked very much to cloisters, at last three, he is a painter between 16th and 17th century, and he worked above all on the south Latium, in the towns called Sermoneta, Cori and Carpineto Romano, whose at last two to Franciscan order, as in Sermoneta and Carpineto, but in Cori church and cloister was Agostinian, in the church of Sant’Oliva. To cloister of Carpineto argument of this assay an attribution to lunettes now lacks but, we can to style to identify Angelo Guerra; the style is very poor, but we must search author and not certainly ask compliment and praises; anyway Guerra painted this cloister after 1602, after lunettes of Sermoneta, but before that he painted other in same town; this decoration is now uncertain but in return we can recognize Guerra; it is sufficient  consider cloths of some figures(Figg.1-3), that have some characteristic very personal used just to other paintings, as on lunettes of Franciscan convent in Sermoneta; the architecture follows style of Guerra, above all to tried uncertainness of style just present in Sermoneta(Figs.4-7), then same definition: the line describes much summary the architecture structure but, in return, the roofs(Figs.4-5) as rose window(Figs.5-6) and the gable(Fig.5) that, to painting of Carpineto Guerra has remembered from Sermoneta(Fig.4). The cloths stand out to plastic matter, although this isn’t to luxury tailor, but we must consider that Guerra to some lunettes, cured cloths with attention with brushstroke less speed than other and much definite(Fig.8): the fields are thickened but less summary; but some moment of refinement shows that Guerra has adopted this style; light and shade are better coordinated and painted, although style is very poor .
