The British in Italy
The British in Italy is a fascinating exploration of the enduring relationship between the English and Italians, dating back to the times of Shakespeare, Leghorn, The Grand Tour, Florence, and Venice, up to the cataclysmic events of World War II. The author draws parallels between Victorian England’s progress and the Italian Renaissance, particularly the British presence in Italy during the 19th century. In a unique approach, the author embarks on a journey through Italy, beginning in the Alps and continuing on foot and by bicycle from Monviso to Trieste, then down to Sicily. Along the way, he rediscovers the forgotten Anglo-Saxon characters who played a significant role in shaping Italyâ€...

Papi in Posa
The exhibition entitled “Papi in Posa,” i.e., “Papal Portraiture,” with the highly refined and historically significant Braschi Palace – home of the Museum of Rome – in 2004, and now in Washington, The John Paul II Center, is not offered only as an excellent exposition of masterpieces from major international museums – such as the Vatican Museums – and prestigious private collections, but stands out in particular because it is one of the most important expositions of portrait painting ever because of both the outstanding quality and the considerable number of paintings and sculptures offered – executed by Europe's leading artists from the last five centuries – and the gre...

Between Raphael and Galileo
Although largely unknown today, during his lifetime Mutio Oddi of Urbino (1569–1639) was a highly esteemed scholar, teacher, and practitioner of a wide range of disciplines related to mathematics. A prime example of the artisan-scholar so prevalent in the late Renaissance, Oddi was also accomplished in the fields of civil and military architecture and the design and retail of mathematical instruments, as well as writing and publishing. In Between Raphael and Galileo, Alexander Marr resurrects the career and achievements of Oddi in order to examine the ways in which mathematics, material culture, and the book shaped knowledge, society, and the visual arts in late Renaissance Italy. Marr scr...
Quando l’ornamento non è delitto
L’origine della contrapposizione tra architettura e decorazione nasce dalla definizione di ornamento come parte accessoria, secondaria. L’arte dell’Italia meridionale viene etichettata come meramente decorativa, quindi limitata perché priva dell’elemento «strutturale». Questo volume attraversa cinque secoli di tradizione visiva siciliana per documentare, invece, la tendenza a integrare spazio, architettura e decorazione. I casi studio qui analizzati – dal tardogotico al Novecento – dimostrano come forma architettonica e decoro convivano, divenendo una caratteristica identificativa dell’arte siciliana.

Vaticano dossier top secret
“Chiunque tu sia che scrivi qui il tuo nome, per aver preso a prestito dei libri dalla biblioteca del Papa, sappi che incorrerai nella sua indignazione ed esecrazione, se non li restituirai intatti ”. (Bartolomeo Sacchi, Biblioteca Vaticana 1475). Vangeli gnostici e discendenza dinastica di Cristo; conoscenze perdute e segreti iniziatici; sette esoteriche e massoniche che complottano per l’instaurazione di un Governo parallelo del mondo, fino alla documentazione ufologica che dimostra come la Chiesa sia da sempre a conoscenza dei contatti tra extraterrestri e esseri umani. Queste le indagini svolte dall’autore sui documenti custoditi in uno dei luoghi più misteriosi e inaccessibili del mondo: la Biblioteca Vaticana.
