Jesuit Foundations and Medici Power, 1532-1621
In Jesuit Foundations and Medici Power, 1532-1621 Kathleen M. Comerford traces the rise of the Medici Grand Dukes and three Jesuit colleges in Tuscany. The book focuses on church/state cooperation in an age in which both institutions underwent significant changes.
The Villa Farnesina
The frescoes of Peruzzi, Raphael and Sodoma still dazzle visitors to the Villa Farnesina, but they survive in a stripped-down environment bereft of its landscape, sealed so it cannot breathe. Turner takes you outside that box, restoring these canonical images to their original context, when each element joined in a productive conversation. He is the first to reconstruct the architect-painter Peruzzi's original, well-proportioned, well-appointed building and to re-visualize his lost façade decoration‒erotic scenes and mythological figures who make it come alive and soar upward. More comprehensively than any previous scholar, he reintegrates painting, sculpture, architecture, garden design, topographical prints and drawings, archaeological discoveries and literature from the brilliant circle around the patron Agostino Chigi, the powerful banker who 'loved all virtuosi' and commissioned his villa-palazzo from the best talents in multiple arts. It can now be understood as a Palace of Venus, celebrating aesthetic, social and erotic pleasure.

Covers all aspects of medieval studies within the date range of 450 to 1500 for the entire continent of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa for the period before the Muslim conquest and parts of those areas subsequently controlled by Christian powers.
Honos alit artes. Studi per il settantesimo compleanno di Mario Ascheri. II. Gli universi particolari
Le ricerche confluite nel volume, dovute a storici di diversa vocazione, illustrano svariati aspetti della storia dell’Italia medievale e moderna (ordinamenti, economia, società, istituzioni ecclesiastiche e civili, architettura, arte, urbanistica); sono incentrate sulle singole realtà cittadine e su circoscritte aree geografiche e politiche. Fra queste, particolare attenzione è riservata alla città di Siena e al suo territorio, che costituiscono uno dei centri di interesse dell’illustre studioso al quale è dedicata la serie di quattro volumi di cui fa parte il presente. The researches accounted in the volume, being reported by historians who had different vocations, illustrate various aspects of medieval and modern history (laws, economy, society, church and civil institutions, architecture, art, urban planning); they are focused on single town realities and limited geographical-political areas. Among these, particular attention ought to be given to the city of Siena and its territory, which constitute one of the centres of interest for the illustrious scholar to whom is dedicated the series of four volumes, which the present also belongs to.
