Garden and Grove
Garden and Grove is a pioneering study of the English fascination with Italian Renaissance gardens. John Dixon Hunt studies reactions of English visitors in their journals and travel books to the exciting world of Italian gardens: its links with classical villas, with Virgil and farming, with Ovid and metamorphosis, its association with theater, its variety, its staged debates between art and nature. Then he looks at what English visitors made of these Italian garden experiences upon their return home and at how they created Italianate gardens on their estates, on their stages, and in their poems. With a wealth of literary and visual materials previously untapped, Hunt provides a new history of an intriguing and vital phase of English garden history. Not only does he suggest the centrality of the garden as a focus for many social, aesthetic, political, and philosophical ideas but he argues that the so-called English landscape garden before "Capability" Brown, in the late eighteenth century, owed much to a long and continuing emulation of Italian Renaissance models.

Architecture, Death and Nationhood
In the nineteenth century, new cemeteries were built in many Italian cities that were unique in scale and grandeur, and which became destinations on the Grand Tour. From the Middle Ages, the dead had been buried in churches and urban graveyards but, in the 1740s, a radical reform across Europe prohibited burial inside cities and led to the creation of suburban burial grounds. Italy’s nineteenth-century cemeteries were distinctive as monumental or architectural structures, rather than landscaped gardens. They represented a new building type that emerged in response to momentous changes in Italian politics, tied to the fight for independence and the creation of the nation-state. As the first...

L’architettura dei Carmelitani Scalzi in età barocca
N. 27 della collana “Roma. Storia, cultura, immagine” diretta da Marcello Fagiolo La vicenda evolutiva delle fondazioni secentesche dei Carmelitani Scalzi entro i confini dello Stato Pontificio ne inquadra il primo fertile ciclo insediativo fuori dal mondo iberico d’origine, rappresentando, per l’intensità del fenomeno, una sorta di reviviscenza in area romana dell’eroica epopea vissuta tra il 1562 e il 1582 da Teresa d’Avila e Giovanni della Croce. L’esplorazione della genesi e formazione di questi complessi porta alla luce, al di là degli specifici processi esecutivi, significati aggiuntivi collegati allo sviluppo dei contesti di inserimento e alle particolari condizioni si...
