Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Having travelled extensively all his life, Francesco da Mosto, author of the bestselling Francesco's Venice, has always been fascinated by the differences in language, traditions, cuisine, art, architecture and landscape of each region of his country, despite their proximity to each other. He believes such rich variations and surprising contradictions reflect the true nature of Italy and this is the subject of Francesco's Italy, which explores the history, culture and everyday life of Italy. Accompanying a vibrant BBC2 series, Francesco's Italy takes the form of a journey. From Venice, his birthplace and home, Francesco travels southwards to the Sicilian capital Palermo, his mother's hometown. As he visits the spectacular lakes and fashionable cities of the north, and passes through the hills of Tuscany, heading south towards Rome, Naples and finally Palermo, Francesco describes the local artistic and architectural treasures and cultural traditions, while exploring the historical background and uncovering fascinating legends. He introduces us to many of the characters who populate Italy's history, from Federico da Montefeltro, quintessential Renaissance man and illegitimate brother of the Count of Urbino, who unexpectedly rose to power in the fifteenth century after his brother's assassination, to Michaelangelo and his difficult relations with Pope Julius II while painting the frescoes in the Sistine Chapel in the early sixteenth century. Francesco's narrative journey also encompasses Italian society and the Italian people as they are today, and he delights in sharing anecdotes from his own family life as well as stories he picks up from friends and unusual characters he meets on his travels. Illustrated with stunning photographs by John Parker, Francesco's Italy brings together the Italy we all know and love and the secret side of the country that only an insider can reveal. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Condizione: Used - Like New. The Art Mysteries series examines several highly regarded masterpieces in an attempt to unravel the mysteries that surround them. Edited by Marco Carminati and Stefano Zuffi, they present an up-to-date and spectacular reading of famous paintings, investigating key clues to previously unknown background information. The sublime synthesis of Piero della Francesca's art, the Montefeltro Altarpiece, now in the Pinacoteca di Brera, is one of the most famous works dating from the painter's maturity. It was executed in the refined context of the Urbino court, probably to be placed above Duke Federico da Montefeltro's tomb in the Church of San Bernardino. Napoleon's soldiers took it to Milan in 1811, and since then it has never ceased to fascinate and intrigue viewers. What does its perfect marble architecture mean? Who exactly are the characters portrayed? Above all, what is the egg hanging from the shell-shaped vault above the Virgin Mary's head intended to convey? Seeking the answers to these questions involves an exciting journey of discovery leading to the solution of Piero della Francesca's enigmas.

The Italian Renaissance is remembered as much for intrigue as it is for art, with papal politics and infighting among Italy's many city-states. The attempted assassination of the Medici brothers in Florence in 1478 is one of the best-known examples of the machinations of the age. While the assailants were the Medici's rivals, the Pazzi family, questions have always lingered about who really orchestrated the attack. Five centuries later, Marcello Simonetta, working in a private archive in Italy, stumbled upon a coded letter written by Federico da Montefeltro, the Duke of Urbino, to Pope Sixtus IV, containing proof of a power grab by the Pope for control of Florence. Montefeltro, long believed a close friend of Lorenzo de Medici, was in fact conspiring with the Pope to unseat the Medici. Their failure changed the course of Italian and papal history.

Brossura. Condizione: fine. Atti del convegno internazionale di studi, Roma-Urbino, 8 ottobre - 11 ottobre 2006.A cura di Sinisgalli R.Testo Italiano e Inglese.Foligno, 2009; br., pp. 448, ill. b/n e col., cm 17x24. This volume collects the proceedings of the International Congress of Studies (Rome, Swiss Institute, 9 October 2006; Urbino, Palazzo Ducale, 10 - 11 October 2006) promoted by the International Center of Studies Urbino e la prospettiva and intended to investigate in its multiple aspects the relationship between the mathematical sciences and the arts, with the contribution of some of the most authoritative experts in the field. The fulcrum of the reflections which emerged from the congress lies in the acknowledgment of the central role played in the history of perspective by the studies carried out in the Renaissance court of the Dukes of Urbino by personages such as Piero della Francesca, Bramante, Raphael, Federigo Commandino and Guidobaldo del Monte. From the second half of the fifteenth century to the first half of the seventeenth century, in fact, the Dukedom of Urbino was at the center of a vast artistic, technical and scientific debate, intended to define the idea of perspective as a rigorous system of representation of reality founded on mathematical bases, and to clarify its possible applications in painting and in architecture. After the empirical studies of Brunelleschi and Masaccio, in 1435 Leon Battista Alberti (many times guest in Urbino of the Duke Federico da Montefeltro) supplied in his De Pictura a first systematic analysis of the idea of perspective and of the perspective-linear method. The merit to have driven the study of perspective along the rails of the scientific codification, however, goes to Piero della Francesca. In his treatise De Prospectiva Pingendi - composed in 1475 and dedicated to Duke Federico - the geometric foundations of the science of perspective are exposed for the first time in a mathematically rigorous way. The effective separation between the study of perspective addressed towards painting and architecture and its purely mathematical formalization has to be attributed instead to Federigo Commandino from Urbino and to his brilliant student Guidobaldo del Monte. The latter published in Pesaro in 1600 his Perspectivae libri sex, an almost exhaustive treatise of the entire discipline which would have opened the road to sectors of our modern mathematics as descriptive geometry and projective geometry, as well as to a wide range of applications in mechanics, architecture, theatrical scenographies and computer graphics. Inspired by these stimuli, the interventions contained in this volume analyze with great thoroughness the history and the applications of perspective in art, architecture and science from the Renaissance to the late seventeenth century, and reflect on the role of mathematics in the study and the most recent developments of the discipline.
