INFORMATION FOR SPEAKERS


From an interview in the San Francisco Chronicle
with Christopher Herb Caen, Herb Caen's son:

Q. When you were a kid, what did you want to be?

A. When I was very young, I was at a birthday party.
My mom was going around the table saying,
"What do you want to be when you grow up?" 
Kids were saying, "An astronaut," "a fireman," "a policeman."
I said, "An Italian."

ALLA CORRENTE

Giorgione

Giorgione (born Giorgio Barbarelli da Castelfranco circa 1477-1510) was a Venetian painter of the High Renaissance in Venice, whose career was cut short by his untimely death when he was a little over thirty. Giorgione is known for the elusive poetic quality of his work, though only about six surviving paintings are acknowledged for certain to be his own work. The resulting uncertainty about the identity and meaning of his art has made Giorgione one of the most mysterious figures in European painting. . .
