Vite di artiste eccellenti
Dall'antica Grecia a oggi sono moltissime le donne che hanno dipinto, scolpito, decorato. Tanti dei loro nomi sono finiti – ingiustamente – nell'oblio. È arrivato il momento di raccontare un'altra storia dell'arte. Già nell'antica Grecia esistevano artiste donne, che hanno decorato palazzi e lasciato tracce del loro lavoro. Durante il Medioevo, per lo più considerato un periodo nel quale le donne non godevano di alcun rilievo nella società, molte opere sono nate grazie alla manualità femminile, che si poteva esprimere soprattutto nei conventi. L'esplosione dell'arte al femminile risale però al Rinascimento, quando alcune artiste sono arrivate a occupare posti di rilievo nelle corti...
Rome: Continuing Encounters between Past and Present
Few other cities can compare with Rome's history of continuous habitation, nor with the survival of so many different epochs in its present. This volume explores how the city's past has shaped the way in which Rome has been built, rebuilt, represented and imagined throughout its history. Bringing together scholars from the disciplines of architectural history, urban studies, art history, archaeology and film studies, this book comprises a series of studies on the evolution of the city of Rome and the ways in which it has represented and reconfigured itself from the medieval period to the present day. Moving from material appropriations such as spolia in the medieval period, through the carto...
Mona Lisa and her mysteries
This book tells the story of Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa, based on a pedagogical approach, in order to present information accessibly, even for those who do not have a background in History or History of Art. On the other hand, the book brings well-documented information, based on testimonials of some of the most renowned researchers who have studied the subject. Before addressing the subject of the book, the author presents the stories of the first three portraits painted by Leonardo Da Vinci: the portrait of Ginevra de’ Benci; the portrait known as The lady with an Ermine and the portrait of La Belle Ferronnière, aiming to use these three paintings to observe Leonardo’s evolving creative process in portrait painting (non-religious paintings), before painting his iconic Mona Lisa, which is thoroughly analyzed in many aspects.

Bulgari - Roma
A "cool" guide to Rome, with an emotional tour of the city's key historical sites and monuments revisited through the inspiration behind Bvlgari's jewelry.

Vite di artiste eccellenti
Dall'antica Grecia a oggi sono moltissime le donne che hanno dipinto, scolpito, decorato. Tanti dei loro nomi sono finiti nell'oblio. È arrivato il momento di raccontare un'altra storia dell'arte. D'Orazio analizza le vite delle artiste, soprattutto quelle meno note, dal mondo classico ai nostri giorni, per darci testimonianza della grinta e dell'ostinazione che le hanno animate e della pervicacia degli uomini nell'ostacolarle. Mirella Serri, "La Stampa" Le vite de' più eccellenti pittori, scultori e architettori è il titolo della celeberrima opera di Giorgio Vasari che, nel Rinascimento, ha costituito un vero e proprio canone. Oggi Costantino D'Orazio prende spunto da quel titolo e rende onore alle tante 'eccellenti artiste' di cui i canoni si sono troppo spesso dimenticati.
