Giulia Nuti (Prato, 1800 – Prato, 1869) è stata una pittrice italiana.

Biografia

Figlia dell’incisore Luigi Nuti (1748-1821), direttore della Scuola di disegno di Prato, nel 1821 sposò
il pittore e restauratore pratese Antonio Marini (1788-1861). Pittrice essa stessa e dedita in particolare alla litografia, fu in contatto con i maggiori pittori del suo tempo, operanti a Firenze, con i quali ebbe anche frequenti rapporti epistolari, fra questi Carlo Lasinio, Luigi Mussini, Ettore de Garriod e, nell’ambito del purismo, soprattutto il pittore franco svizzero Adolf von Stürler, allievo di Ingres.
Di mano dello Stürler rimangono, presso il Museo di Palazzo pretorio di Prato, due suoi ritratti: il primo,
in tre pose, venne realizzato nel 1835, il secondo, senza data, ritrae la Nuti con il calamo in mano a testimonianza della sua passione per il disegno. Dei dipinti a olio della Nuti, quasi tutti perduti, si conosce una Veduta di paese del 1826, donato
dall’autrice alla Galleria degli Uffizi, dove tuttora è conservato, e, dello stesso anno, le è stata attribuita la tela Campagna conservata nei depositi di Palazzo Pitti.
Realizzati con la tecnica litografica, introdotta per la prima volta in Toscana proprio dal marito, restano i Ricordi di paese, del 1832. Ma sicuramente Giulia collaborò spesso con il marito, impreziosendo le sue opere con la perfezione dei suoi dettagli floreali e botanici. Legatissima alla sua città natale, dove volle tornare a risiedere negli ultimi anni di vita, nel 1861 donò per disposizione testamentaria alla biblioteca Roncioniana l’archivio del marito e alcuni manoscritti (fra cui un prezioso autografo manzoniano) raccolti da lei e dai familiari. Donò inoltre al Comune di Prato alcuni oggetti d’arte, fra i quali un busto del marito, accompagnandoli con una lettera che ben dimostra il motivo di tale lascito: “Ill.mo Signor Gonfaloniere di Comune di Prato, Figlia di un Padre, cittadino pratese, quale era Antonio Nuti, educata nella mia adolescenza d’una famiglia di parenti pratesi, che per seguitare il padre nella carriera del suo Impegno mi convenne allontanarmi da Prato, non è per questo che scemasse in me l’affetto congenito dei primi miei Anni al luogo nativo, e questo affetto crebbe anzi e maggiore divenne col matrimonio, che mi unì ad un altro cittadino Pratese, al pittore Antonio Marini. Rapito (ahi! troppo presto) dalla morte, e senza discendenza, il Marini, che straordinario affetto portava anco Esso al luogo di sua origine, la sua Vedova è rimasta sensibilmente commossa, ed ha preso gran parte alle pubbliche dimostrazioni di affetto e di stima dei di lui concittadini. In aumento a queste dimostrazioni e con la veduta di esternare il proprio vivissimo amore di patria all’intero Comune, la Vedova Marini che possiede il busto di marmo rappresentante il defunto consorte, opera rimarchevole di valente scalpello, si è determinata di farne come ora ne fa, al Comune stesso un dono, riservandosi soltanto il diritto di concertare coll’autorità Municipale il luogo del suo collocamento, quale intende di eseguire a proprie spese. Giulia Nuti Vedova Marini”, (Ricordi di Prato negli acquerelli delle pittrici dell’Ottocento, op. cit.,pp. 8-9).
Tra i Manoscritti Roncioniani è conservato il Fondo Giulia Nuti.

Ozzy Osbourne’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Ozzy Osbourne Net Worth: Ozzy Osbourne is an English singer, songwriter, actor, and television personality who has a net worth of $220 million. He is best known as the lead vocalist of heavy metal band Black Sabbath, as well as for his successful solo music career. Early Life: John Michael Osbourne was born on December 3, 1948, in Birmingham, England. He has three older sisters and two younger brothers. He has been known by the nickname “Ozzy” since he was in primary school. He credits the Beatles and their song “She Loves You” (1963) with inspiring him to pursue a career as a musician. He left school at age 15, and worked a variety of jobs from construction site laborer and trainee plumber, to apprentice toolmaker and car factory horn-tuner, among others. Music Career: Osbourne was recruited by Geezer Butler to be the vocalist for the band Rare Breed in late 1967. Although Rare Breed broke up after playing only two shows, Osbourne and Butler reunited to form the bank Polka Tulk Blues, along with guitarist Tony Iommi and drummer Bill Ward. They changed their band name to Black Sabbath in August 1969, inspired by the film of the same title. They began playing a heavy blues style of music, including gloomier and darker lyrics. Black Sabbath signed to Philips Records in November 1969, and released their first single “Evil Woman” in January 1970, with their debut self-titled album releasing the following month. Although their first record did not receive a positive critical response, and their US record label Warner Bros. Records only invested modestly in the band, their debut was a huge commercial success. Their successive albums Paranoid (1970), Master of Reality (1971), and Volume 4 (1972) all received similar unfavorable critical reviews but were resounding commercial successes. Master of Reality was certified gold less than two months after its release, and Volume 4 achieved gold status within a month. Their 1973 album Sabbath Bloody Sabbath was their first album to receive positive reviews from the mainstream press and was their fifth consecutive platinum album in the United States. Other albums Osbourne worked on with the band include Sabotage (1975), Technical Ecstasy (1976) and Never Say Die! (1978). In April 1979, Osbourne was fired from the band by his bandmates. They cited their reasons as his unreliable behavior and excessive substance abuse issues. After leaving Black Sabbath, the band’s manager Don Arden signed Ozzy to Jet Records. Osbourne formed the band the Blizzard of Ozz in late 1979 in Los Angeles, California, and they released their debut album Blizzard of Ozz (1980), which was credited solely to Osbourne and marked the beginning of his solo career. Other albums of his include Diary of a Madman (1981), Speak of the Devil (1982), No Rest for the Wicked (1988), No More Tears (1991), among others. His first solo album in more than 10 years, Ordinary Man, was released on February 21, 2020. Osbourne has sold more than 100 million albums. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Black Sabbath and he is also in the UK Music Hall of Fame both as a member of the band and a solo artist. Osbourne has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as well as the Birmingham Walk of Stars. In 2014 he received the Global Icon Award at the MTV Europe Music Awards. Other Ventures and Projects: In the mid-1990s, Osbourne pioneered the metal festival tour Ozzfest, which he continues to organize and at which he has performed on an occasional basis. It is managed by his wife/manager Sharon Osbourne and assisted by his son, Jack. The first Ozzfest was held in Phoenix, Arizona, on October 25, 1996. It has since welcomed five million attendees and grossed over $100 million. Thanks to the success of Ozzfest, Osbourne was the first hard rock and heavy metal star to hit $50 million in merchandise sales. Additionally, Osbourne and his wife Sharon starred in the 2004 MTV reality show Battle for Ozzfest, which featured several unsigned bands competing for a spot in the 2005 Ozzfest. The Osbourne family also had their own reality television show The Osbournes on MTV, which ran from 2002 to 2005. The show’s first season was credited as the most-viewed series ever on MTV at the time. Osbourne and his son Jack also starred in the reality series Ozzy & Jack’s World Detour on the History Channel from 2016 to 2018. Other projects Osbourne has been involved in include the publication of his autobiography I Am Ozzy in October 2009. He has appeared in television commercials for brands and products such as I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! and the video game World of Warcraft. He is also featured as a playable character in the video game Guitar Hero World Tour. Personal Life: Osbourne met his first wife Thelma Riley at a nightclub in Birmingham in 1971, and they married that same year. Together they have two children, and Osbourne also adopted Thelma’s son from a previous relationship, although they eventually divorced. Osbourne married his manager Sharon Arden in July 1982, and they have three children together. The Osbourne family divide their time between their homes in Buckinghamshire, England, and Los Angeles, California.
