Reconstructing Paul's journey to Rome, day by day In This Way We Came to Rome: With Paul on the Appian Way guides readers along Paul's 150-mile journey to face trial before the Roman emperor (Acts 28). Authors Glen L. Thompson and Mark Wilson draw from both ancient records and modern research to offer the most complete account available of Paul's journey along the ancient world's most famous road—the Appian Way. In addition to geographical and historical insights, the authors provide numerous images, maps, and GPS coordinates, allowing the reader to experience Paul's journey and better understand the ancient world in which he spread the gospel.
A Renaissance Architecture of Power
The growth of princely states in early Renaissance Italy brought a thorough renewal to the old seats of power. One of the most conspicuous outcomes of this process was the building or rebuilding of new court palaces, erected as prestigious residences in accord with the new ‘classical’ principles of Renaissance architecture. The novelties, however, went far beyond architectural forms: they involved the reorganisation of courtly interiors and their functions, new uses for the buildings, and the relationship between the palaces and their surroundings. The whole urban setting was affected by these processes, and therefore the social, residential and political customs of its inhabitants. This is the focus of A Renaissance Architecture of Power, which aims to analyse from a comparative perspective the evolution of Italian court palaces in the Renaissance in their entirety. Contributors are Silvia Beltramo, Flavia Cantatore, Bianca de Divitiis, Emanuela Ferretti, Marco Folin, Giulio Girondi, Andrea Longhi, Marco Rosario Nobile, Aurora Scotti, Elena Svalduz, and Stefano Zaggia.
A Companion to the Renaissance in Southern Italy (1350–1600)
A Companion to the Renaissance in Southern Italy offers readers unfamiliar with Southern Italy an introduction to different aspects of the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century history and culture of this vast and significant area of Europe, situated at the center of the Mediterranean. Commonly regarded as a backward, rural region untouched by the Italian Renaissance, the essays in this volume paint a rather different picture. The expert-written contributions present a general survey of the most recent research on the centers of southern Italy, as well as insight into the ground-breaking debates on wider themes, such as the definition of the city, continuity and discontinuity at the turn of the s...
Restauri e musei
Sui lungarni di Pisa s’incrociano gli sguardi dei viaggiatori del Grand Tour sullo sfondo del processo ottocentesco di trasformazione delle rive e degli edifici che vi si affacciano contribuendo a definirne la vocazione culturale. Il momento di svolta che innesca nuove dinamiche funzionali coincide col secondo dopoguerra e inizia dalla conversione dell’ex convento di San Matteo in museo nazionale, su progetto di Piero Sanpaolesi. L’intervento s’inquadra nel contesto del dibattito internazionale sulla cultura e la prassi museografica, offrendo importanti argomenti di riflessione sul rapporto tra restauro e musealizzazione, tra musei, città e recupero delle rive fluviali. Con la teoria dei musei, in continuità diacronica e contiguità di percorso (Palazzo Reale, Palazzo Lanfranchi, Palazzo Blu, delle Navi di Pisa e della scienza), prende corpo il concetto di 'sistema', come insieme di più musei, tra loro diversi, ma uniti dal legame col territorio che li accoglie, rappresentato dall’Arno che attraversa la città e la sua storia.
La Città Altra. Storia E Immagine Della Diversità Urbana: Luoghi E Paesaggi Dei Privilegi E Del Benessere, Dell'isolamento, Del Disagio, Della Multiculturalità. Ediz. Italiana E Inglese
This volume proposes a rich corpus of papers about the 'Other City', a subject only few times dealt with, but worthy of all our attention: it imposes itself on the scene of international modern and contemporary historiography for its undeniable topicality. Throughout history, the city has always had to deal with social 'otherness', i.e. with class privileges and, consequently, with discrimination and marginalization of minorities, of the less well-off, of foreigners, in short, with the differences in status, culture, religion. So that the urban fabric has ended up structuring itself also in function of those inequalities, as well as of the strategic places for the exercise of power, of the p...

Imatges del poder a la Barcelona del set-cents. Relacions i influències en el context mediterrani
El desenvolupament de l’economia catalana del darrer terç del set-cents va propulsar una important transformació social i cultural en els sectors més actius, representatius i poderosos del moment. Va generar una etapa de benestar econòmic que va beneficiar l’activitat constructiva i la producció artística, vinculada als nous corrents estilístics europeus. Així, es van remodelar i decorar les estances privades i públiques de palaus i cases de l’aristocràcia, l’alta burgesia i les jerarquies eclesiàstiques, de manera molt semblant a altres zones de l’àrea mediterrània, sobretot Roma, Nàpols i Palerm, ciutats amb què ens uneixen forts lligams històrics i artístics. Encara que poc coneguts, a Barcelona n’hi ha valuosos exemples, un patrimoni que, en alguns casos, es troba permanentment en risc, sotmès a destruccions, modificacions i restauracions poc sensibles.
Città e guerra : difese, distruzioni, permanenze delle memorie e dell’immagine urbana. Tomo I : fonti e testimonianze
I contributi contenuti in questo volume indagano il rapporto tra città e guerra dal punto di vista dell’archeologia, della storia e dell’architettura, saperi tra loro sempre fortemente connessi e collaboranti per studiare, analizzare, decodificare e ricostruire criticamente tracce, memorie e parole che riguardano i contesti urbani e i conflitti dall’antichità a oggi, all’interno di un paesaggio in eterno divenire. Proprio nella peculiarità degli approcci della ricerca, i diversi contributi disegnano un ricco mosaico di casi studio, di oggetti di indagine e di progetto che lascia appena intravedere l'estrema complessità di un tema di stringente attualità.
