Dialogue on the Errors and Abuses of Painters
Giovanni Andrea Gilio’s Dialogue on the Errors and Abuses of Painters (1564) is one of the first treatises on art published in the post-Tridentine period. It remains a key primary source for the discussion of the reform of art as it unfolded at the time of the Council of Trent and the Catholic Reformation. Relatively little is known about Gilio himself, a cleric from Fabriano, Italy. He was evidently familiar with Cardinal Alessandro Farnese’s lively court circle in Rome and dedicated his book to the cardinal.

Laura Battiferra and Her Literary Circle
Internationally known during her lifetime, Laura Battiferra (1523-89) was a gifted and prolific poet in Renaissance Florence. The author of nearly 400 sonnets remarkable for their subtlety, intricate narrative structure, and learned allusions, Battiferra, who was married to the prominent sculptor and architect Bartolomeo Ammannati, traversed an elite literary and artistic network, circulating her verse in a complex and intellectually fecund exchange with some of the most illustrious figures in Italian history.

101 cose da fare nelle Marche almeno una volta nella vita
Dagli Appennini all’Adriatico, attraversando l’Italia centrale. Le Marche hanno la fortuna di accogliere un territorio eterogeneo che va dalle montagne dell’entroterra fino al mare, con una costa a sua volta variegata, ricca di spiagge basse come pure di riviere scoscese e promontori rocciosi. E poi riserve naturali, colline, castelli, rocche, laghi e santuari. Per non parlare di arte, cultura e storia: dalle architetture di Urbino, autentica perla tra le città rinascimentali, a quelle di Jesi, che diede i natali a Federico II di Svevia, l’imperatore del Sacro Romano Impero soprannominato stupor mundi. E poi la tradizione eno-gastronomica: dai vincisgrassi alle olive all’ascolana,...
