Urania
Presented for the first time in a critical English edition, Urania: A Romance provides modern readers with a rare glimpse into the novel and novella forms at a time when narrative genres were not only being invented but, in the hands of women like Giulia Bigolina (1518?-1569?), used as vehicles for literary experimentation. The first known prose romance written by a woman in Italian, Bigolina's Urania centers on the monomaniacal love of a female character falling into melancholy when her beloved leaves her for a more beautiful woman. A tale that includes many of the conventions that would later become standards of the genre—cross-dressing, travel, epic skirmishes, and daring deeds—Urania also contains the earliest treatise on the worth of women. Also included in this volume, the novella Giulia Camposampiero is the only extant part of a probable longer narrative written in the style of the Decameron. While employing some of those same gender and role reversals as Urania, including the privileging of heroic constancy in both men and women, it chronicles the tribulations that a couple undergoes until their secret marriage is publicly recognized.
L'orma del cerchio
Affascinato dalla materia e dalle sue libere possibilità, con un mero movimento che da inventivo si trasforma in fattivo, Fausto Maria Franchi tende a trasmettere, tramite il fare delle mani, immaginose forme e delicate texture alle superfici dei metalli apportando infinite sfaccettature per speculazioni luminose. L’opera rompe i limiti della convenzionalità, chiude e dischiude il cerchio della ricerca, e porta lo spettatore a ripensare il proprio modo di guardare le cose, evadendo da una visione prestabilita e aprendosi al nuovo. Fascinated by material and its open possibilities, with a simple movement that transforms from inventive to active, Faust Maria Franchi aims to transmit, through the work of his hands, imaginative forms and delicate textures on metal surfaces, creating infinite facets for luminous reflections. His work breaks through the limits of conventionality, closing and opening the circle of exploration, and leads viewers to reconsider their own way of looking at things, escaping from a pre-established vision and opening themselves up to the new.

Veneranda antiquitas
Questo volume presenta una raccolta di saggi sul tema della fortuna dell'antico nella cultura umanistica veneta della Rinascenza. La prima parte del libro è dedicata ad un'importante espressione del culto tributato al mondo classico, il collezionismo di antichità, che ebbe manifestazioni di primo piano a Venezia e nel Veneto. La trattazione si sofferma su alcuni casi esemplificativi, come la raccolta di Pietro Bembo, il lapidario creato dalla famiglia Maggi da Bassano, la bottega dello scultore padovano Agostino Zoppo, inseriti in una prospettiva più ampia, nell'intento di evidenziare i molteplici risvolti storici del fenomeno e restituire lo spaccato di un ambiente multiforme e complesso...
