Riassunto

Goldthwaite (history, Johns Hopkins U.) argues that Italy's special place in the economic world of late medieval Europe led to the massing of excess wealth by merchant and noble families and religious houses. Art was separated out from the rest of material culture, as no where else in Europe, because it was in practical demand to decorate the newly constructed religious houses, and to place in private houses and public spaces as symbols of the merchants' new status.
