La seconda guerra mondiale è finita. Nella campagna veneta, nel Basso Piave, si respira un’aria nuova. I lutti e le storie drammatiche dei soldati e dei sopravvissuti, che hanno alimentato a lungo i racconti di tanta gente, cedono finalmente il passo alla normalità della vita quotidiana fatta di lavoro duro e di qualche occasione di festa. La Casa delle Statue, un ex convento di monache, sembra un universo a sé stante, un luogo dove convivono persone e famiglie di diversa provenienza, anche se la maggioranza è composta da contadini mezzadri. Rinetta è una bambina orfana di entrambi i genitori e vive con i nonni, i cugini e gli zii. Negli ambienti della grande casa e soprattutto all’esterno, per Rinetta e gli altri bambini sono molte le occasioni di gioco e di scoperta, ma talvolta l’innocenza e la spensieratezza vengono macchiate dalla violenza degli adulti. Romanzo familiare di grande intensità, La Casa delle Statue descrive storie individuali situandole in un contesto più ampio di vicende e fatti realmente accaduti, dall’evoluzione della vita contadina alla realtà delle guerre mondiali, dalle migrazioni in Belgio e in Sud America alla condizione delle donne, vero perno e motore di un microcosmo sociale durato a lungo. Manuela Piotto è nata nel 1960 e vive a San Donà di Piave. Si è laureata in Lettere presso l’Università “Ca’ Foscari” di Venezia con una tesi su Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa. Da molti anni opera nel mondo della scuola, attualmente insegna Lettere presso un istituto superiore. Ha già pubblicato la raccolta di racconti Rami di salice nel 2008.

In the past decade, there has been a surge of Anglophone scholarship regarding Spain in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, which has led to a reframing of the discourses around Spanish culture of this period. Despite this new interest-in which painting, in particular, has been singled out for treatment-a comprehensive study of sculpture collections and the status of sculpture in Spain has yet to be produced. Sculpture Collections in Early Modern Spain is the first book to assess the phenomenon of sculpture collecting and in doing so, it alters the previously held notion that Spanish society placed little value in this art form. Di Dio and Coppel reveal that, due to the problems and expense of their transport from Italy, sculptures were in fact status symbols in the culture. Thus they were an important component of the collections formed by the royal family, cultivated noble collectors, humanists, and artists who had pretensions of high status. This book is especially useful to specialists for its discussion of the typologies of collections and objects, and of the mechanics of state gifts, transport, and collection display in this period. An appendix presents extensive archival documentation, most of which has never before been published. The authors have uncovered hundreds of new documents about sculpture in Spain; and new documentary evidence allows them to propose several new identifications and attributions. Firmly grounded in extensive archival research, Sculpture Collections in Early Modern Spain redefines the socio-political and art historical importance of sculpture in early modern Spain. Most importantly, it entirely transforms our knowledge regarding the presence of sculpture in a wide range of Spanish collections of the period, which until now has been erroneously characterized as close to non-existent.

In the first comprehensive study of Roman ancestor masks in English, Harriet Flower explains the reasons behind the use of wax masks in the commemoration of politically prominent family members by the elite society of Rome. Flower traces the functional evolution of ancestor masks, from theirfirst attested appearance in the third century BC to their last mention in the sixth century AD, through the examination of literary sources in both prose and verse, legal texts, epigraphy, archaeology, numismatics, and art. It is by putting these masks, which were worn by actors at the funerals ofthe deceased, into their legal, social, and political context that Flower is able to elucidate their central position in the media of the time and their special meaning as symbols of power and prestige.

In recent years, art historians have begun to delve into the patronage, production and reception of sculptures-sculptors' workshop practices; practical, aesthetic, and esoteric considerations of material and materiality; and the meanings associated with materials and the makers of sculptures. This volume brings together some of the top scholars in the field, to investigate how sculptors in early modern Italy confronted such challenges as procurement of materials, their costs, shipping and transportation issues, and technical problems of materials, along with the meanings of the usage, hierarchies of materials, and processes of material acquisition and production. Contributors also explore the implications of these facets in terms of the intended and perceived meaning(s) for the viewer, patron, and/or artist. A highlight of the collection is the epilogue, an interview with a contemporary artist of large-scale stone sculpture, which reveals the similar challenges sculptors still encounter today as they procure, manufacture and transport their works.
