Investigations of an Italian Inspector
These two stories are the first of the long series of detective stories published by Maurizio Vecchi in Italian. In fact he wrote them to participate in the international literary contest named "j. Prevert 2005," in which he placed finalist, but not the winner. The author wanted to publish his literary composition only to maintain the memory over time. The two stories tell of two separate murder cases in which the Carabinieri Marshal, Commander of a Station, called to resolve them, making the complex investigations that lead to the solution. This English version has been released so that fans of other Nations can learn stunts of the character described by the author."

The Controversy of Renaissance Art
Sansovino successively dismantled and reconstituted the categories of art-making. Hardly capable of sustaining a program of reform, the experimental art of this period was succeeded by a new era of cultural codification in the second half of the sixteenth century. --
Nuns and Reform Art in Early Modern Venice
Decorated by Giovanni Buonconsiglio, Jacopo Tintoretto, Palma il Giovane, Sebastiano Ricci and Giambattista Tiepolo, the church of the former Benedictine female monastery Santi Cosma e Damiano occupies an outstanding position in Venice. The author of this study argues that from its foundation in 1481 to its dissolution in 1805, Santi Cosma e Damiano was a reform convent, and that its nuns employed art and architecture as a means to actively express their specific religious concerns. While on the one hand focusing, on the basis of extensive archival research, on the reconstruction of the history and construction of the convent, this study's larger concern is with the religious reform movement, its ideas concerning art and architecture, and with the convent as a space for female self-realization in early modern Venice.
