Dalla quarta di copertina

The Renaissance interior is increasingly becoming a focus of historical debate. This volume brings together recent research drawing on the perspectives of an interdisciplinary group of scholars, combining innovative approaches, case studies, and methodological critiques. Through a shared interest in domestic practice, the collection expands the discourse on the Renaissance home, ultimately challenging traditional notions of public and private, interior and exterior, ideals and reality. Essays examine understudied spaces of the interior, such as baths and chapels, and offer new insights into more familiar topics such as identity, status, and family memory. Firmly grounded on a wide range of primary sources – ranging from visual and material evidence to archival documents – these contributions provide a genuinely fresh outlook on the Italian interior and will form a rich resource for scholars and students of the Renaissance.
