Istanbul, com'è stata chiamata fin dalla conquista ottomana del 1453, ma com'è denominata ufficialmente solo all'indomani della Prima guerra mondiale. "Nèa Ryme", Nuova Roma, secondo il suo nome ufficiale. Costantinopoli, il suo vero nome, da sempre e per sempre. Un nome che evoca immagini mirabili: il sogno dell'Oriente, le lontananze raggiungibili attraverso il Bosforo e l'Anatolia. Le moschee, gli harem, i sufi danzanti, gli aromi dei bazar. Da mezzo millennio l'Europa identifica in quella sola città il prezioso anello di congiunzione fra l'antichità perduta e la modernità.

Some cities impress you, cities that entertain you, and cities that educate you. Then some cities seem to exist outside ordinary categories altogether. Istanbul belongs firmly in that final group. It is not simply a destination on a map or a famous collection of landmarks visited by tourists carrying cameras and guidebooks. Istanbul feels older, heavier, louder, stranger, and more emotionally layered than most places people encounter in their lives.

Il grande Maometto il Conquistatore, nelle stanze del palazzo reale di Costantinopoli appena sottomessa, andava recitando una triste poesia persiana. Trovandosi di fronte all'immensità della sua conquista, il vincitore dell'ultimo basileus non poteva evitare di provare la malinconia della decadenza. Tra il Trecento e il Novecento gli ottomani edificarono un enorme impero incastrato tra Occidente e Oriente, con il chiaro proposito di unire l'Asia e l'Europa.

Inspired by Istanbul Research Institute’s exhibition at Pera Museum titled “What Byzantinism Is This in Istanbul!”: Byzantium in Popular Culture, we invited artists, authors and musicians to converse with researchers of Byzantine history on how they have engaged with Byzantine history in their works.

İnsanlar, olaylar, mekânlar, gelenekler ve ihtiyaçlar üzerinden şehrin tarihinden sayfalar... (Hazırlayan ve sunanlar: Cem Erciyes, Kansu Şarman)

Per dieci secoli Costantinopoli è stata l'altra Roma. Poi, in una giornata di primavera del 1453, tutto è cambiato. Roma s'inabissava, nasceva Istanbul. Una città eterna, prodigiosa, inquieta. Un luogo del mondo dove è possibile incrociare le storie di imperatrici belle e crudeli, di sultani folli e saggi, di schiave e avventurieri. Storie piccole e grandissime ritrovate e raccontate da un autore capace, come raramente accade, di fondere in un unico sguardo sapere e meraviglia.

Constantinople—later Istanbul—stands as the world's only city to have served as the capital of two universal empires: the Christian Roman (Byzantine) and the Islamic Ottoman. In this series, Lucas and Luna guide listeners through the city's transformation from the foundation of Nova Roma by Constantine the Great in 330 CE to the conquest by Mehmed II in 1453, and its evolution into a modern Turkish metropolis. We explore the theological controversies that split Christendom at the Council of Chalcedon, the Nika Riots that burned half the city, the strategic brilliance of the Theodosian ...
