The Book Trade in the Italian Renaissance
This work offers the first English-language survey of the book industry in Renaissance Italy. Whereas traditional accounts of the book in the Renaissance celebrate authors and literary achievement, this study examines the nuts and bolts of a rapidly expanding trade that built on existing economic practices while developing new mechanisms in response to political and religious realities. Approaching the book trade from the perspective of its publishers and booksellers, this archive-based account ranges across family ambitions and warehouse fires to publishers' petitions and convivial bookshop conversation. In the process it constructs a nuanced picture of trading networks, production, and the distribution and sale of printed books, a profitable but capricious commodity. Originally published in Italian as Il commercio librario nell’Italia del Rinascimento (Milan: Franco Angeli, 1998; second, revised ed., 2003), this present English translation has not only been updated but has also been deeply revised and augmented.
"If I had XRay Glasses..."
Sergio Bossi born in Genoa, Italy, on the 6th of February 1964, married to Anna and father of three little rascals: Pietro, Giovanni and Andrea. His debut in 2007 with "Voices from the verb Bossing", a light-hearted piece, which pretends to be removed from reality, this piece was followed two years later by "My Three Men", a parody of a father in love with his three young boys, full of funny anecdotes and much more. With "IfIhadX-rayglasses", explodes all of the humor and the curiosity of discovering the truth which is often hidden even when it can appear to be in the palm of your hand. The narrator analyses more than just the desire to discover our neighbor's secrets, delving into intricate and controversial political issues which till now continue unsolved. Cases such as that of Aldo Moro, the mysterious death of Lady Diana, the assassination of the President of the United States of America J. F. Kennedy or the moon landing...yet thanks to the infallible x-ray glasses those events are no longer secret.
Lomazzo’s Aesthetic Principles Reflected in the Art of his Time
Lomazzo's Aesthetic Principles Reflected in the Art of his Time explores the work of the Milanese artist-theorist Giovanni Paolo Lomazzo (1538–92) and his influence on the circle of the Accademia della Val di Blenio and beyond. Following reflections on Lomazzo's fortuna critica, the accompanying essays examine his admiration of Gaudenzio Ferrari; Lomazzo’s painted oeuvre; his influence on printmaking with Giovanni Ambrogio Brambilla; on drawing and painting with Aurelio Luini; on the decorative arts and the embroideress Caterina Cantoni; his pupils Giovanni Ambrogio Figino and Girolamo Ciocca; grotesque sculpture outside Milan; and Lomazzo in England with Richard Haydocke’s translation of the Trattato. In doing so, this book takes an innovative approach—one which aims to bridge the scholarship, hitherto disjoined, between Lomazzo the artist and Lomazzo the theorist—while expanding our knowledge of a protagonist of Renaissance and early modern art theory. Contributors: Alessia Alberti, Federico Cavalieri, Jean Julia Chai, Roberto Paolo Ciardi, Alexander Marr, Silvia Mausoli, Mauro Pavesi, Rossana Sacchi, Paolo Sanvito, and Lucia Tantardini.
MAVI'
There is a small village in South America where it is often told that, for newborns, abandoned by their parents, there exists a guardian angel. An angel that, during the night, comes down from the clouds and searches through the villages, visiting those unfortunate souls and caring for them whilst they sleep. He watches over them for their first few months, defending them from that evil twist of fate which disturbs both their sleep... and their dreams...
