The Year's Work in Medievalism, 2004
The Year's Work in Medievalism: 2004 is based upon but not restricted to the 2004 proceedings of the annual International Conference on Medievalism, organized by the Director of Conferences for Studies in Medievalism, Gwendolyn Morgan, and, for 2004, Christa Canitz of the University of New Brunswick, Fredericton. The essays of the current volume center on the question of individual responsibility in humanizing one's society through the use of medievalism. - Gwendolyn A.

Paolo de Matteis
This volume represents a long overdue reassessment of the Neapolitan painter Paolo de Matteis, an artist largely overlooked in English language scholarly publications, but one who merits our attention for the quality of his work and the originality of its iconography, as well as for his remarkable ability to respond creatively to his patrons? aesthetic ideals and agendas. Following a meticulous examination of the ways in which posterity?s impression of de Matteis has been conditioned by a biased biographical and literary tradition, Livio Pestilli devotes rich, detailed analyses to the artist?s most significant paintings and drawings. More than just a novel approach to de Matteis and the Neapolitan Baroque, however, the book makes a significant contribution to the study and understanding of early eighteenth-century European art and cultural history in general, not only in Naples but in other major European centers, including Paris, Vienna, Genoa, and Rome.
Stella d'Italia
«Dall'11 maggio al 5 luglio del 2012 è avvenuta in Italia una cosa difficile da classificare e mai accaduta prima: un migliaio di donne e uomini hanno attraversato da ogni parte la penisola percorrendo a piedi, in cinque diversi bracci, più di 4000 chilometri per raggiungere L'Aquila, cuore terremotato del nostro Paese. Non pensavamo che così tante persone tra loro sconosciute si sarebbero incontrate in posti mai visti prima e si sarebbero messe a camminare insieme sotto il sole cocente e sotto la pioggia, su sentieri di montagna e costeggiando i mari, su piccole strade bianche e sulle grandi vie delle periferie industriali; avrebbero dormito insieme nelle camerate di ostelli e conventi ...
Architettura del Ventennio. Palazzi di Roma
Una guida ai più bei palazzi di Roma del Ventennio fascista, che si differenzia profondamente rispetto a quelle finora scritte. Anzitutto, viene dato adeguato spazio agli edifici costruiti nel primo decennio fascista, solitamente trascurati dalla critica. Inoltre, sono trattate le principali opere d'arte (pittura, scultura, arti decorative) che nel Ventennio abbelliscono i grandi palazzi romani.
