The flowering of Gothic architecture depended to a striking extent on the use of drawing as a tool of design. By drawing precise "blueprints" with simple tools such as the compass and straightedge, Gothic draftsmen were able to develop a linearized architecture of unprecedented complexity and sophistication. Examination of their surviving drawings can provide valuable and remarkably intimate information about the Gothic design process. Gothic drawings include compass pricks, uninked construction lines, and other telltale traces of the draftsman's geometrically based working method. The proportions of the drawings, moreover, are those actually intended by the designer, uncompromised by errors introduced in the construction process. All of these features make these drawings ideal subjects for the study of Gothic design practice, but their geometry has to date received little systematic attention. This book offers a new perspective on Gothic architectural creativity. It shows, in a series of rigorous geometrical case studies, how Gothic design evolved over time, in two senses: in the hours of the draftsman's labor, and across the centuries of the late Middle Ages. In each case study, a series of computer graphics show in unprecedented detail how a medieval designer could have developed his architectural concept step by step, using only basic geometrical operations. Taken together, these analyses demonstrate both remarkable methodological continuity across the Gothic era, and the progressive development of new and sophisticated permutations on venerable design themes. This rich tradition ultimately gave way in the Renaissance not because of any inherent problem with Gothic architecture, but because the visual language of Classicism appealed more directly to the pretensions of Humanist princes than the more abstract geometrical order of Gothic design, as the book's final chapter demonstrates.

In Monumental Sounds, Matthew G. Shoaf examines interactions between sight and hearing in spectacular church decoration in Italy between 1260 and 1320. In this "age of vision," authorities' concerns about whether and how worshipers listened to sacred speech spurred Giotto and other artists to reconfigure sacred stories to activate listening and ultimately bypass phenomenal experience for attitudes of inner receptivity. New naturalistic styles served that work, prompting viewers to give voice to depicted speech and guiding them toward spiritually fruitful auditory discipline. This study reimagines narrative pictures as site-specific extensions of a cultural system that made listening a meaningful practice. Close reading of religious texts, poetry, and art historiography augments Shoaf's novel approach to pictorial naturalism and art's multisensorial dimensions. This book has received the Weiss-Brown Publication Subvention Award from the Newberry Library. The award supports the publication of outstanding works of scholarship that cover European civilization before 1700 in the areas of music, theater, French or Italian literature, or cultural studies.

Examining Bernini's works from 1665 on, from Paris and Rome, this book demonstrates the wealth of material still to be drawn from close visual and material examination, archival research, and comparative textual analysis. On the whole, this collection deals with Bernini's position as the leading creator of portraits - in oils, marble, monumental architecture, and metaphor - of some of the most powerful political players of his day. These studies speak to the growing distance of Gallic absolutism from the fading dreams of papal hegemony over Europe, and to the complexities of Bernini's role as mouthpiece, obstacle, and flatterer of the Princes of the Papal States.

Opera in Italy Today offers a panorama of Italy's dynamic operatic scene. Descriptive text and evocative illustrations recreate not only Italy's historic major houses - including La Scala, the San Carlo, and La Fenice - but also her most important regional theaters. Ten of Italy's most famous opera festivals, including the Puccini, the Bellini, the Donizetti, and the Rossini, are discussed in detail as well, and more than twenty others are listed with address, season, and ticket information. A brief history of each opera house and venue, along with cartelloni of recent seasons, lets the opera lover know who has conducted and performed there in the past. For the armchair fan, discographies and bibliographies are provided. The book also includes a chapter on the La Scala Theatrical Museum, a chapter on children's opera, and a concluding chapter, "Opportunities for Young Singers", rich in information on Italian workshops, programs, and contests for aspiring young vocalists. Finally, lucky visitors to Italy will find the glossary of Italian words and phrases most useful during their travels.

In Lombardia, a Loreto o in Vaticano i luoghi di Bramante mi sembrano concorrere a delineare aspetti generali di una città e di un paesaggio costruito ancora adeguati. Una costruzione forse frammentaria, sospesa, ma comunque capace di rappresentare il valore pubblico della città e di attribuire senso e misura a preesistenze, persino a rovine. Come frammenti ancora affioranti le opere di Bramante sanno riunire impianto, topografia e aspetti naturali del paesaggio, permanenze e costruzione tecnica, luogo del progetto e progetto. Sino a poter costituire ancor oggi un irrinunciabile insegnamento.

Il volume documenta l’origine e l’evoluzione della cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta a Siena tra la fine del X-inizi dell’XI secolo e il XIV secolo. Partendo da un’analisi di tipo archeologico dell’edilizia storica, le vicende costruttive dell’edificio sono inquadrate all’interno dell’evoluzione del colle del Duomo e del contesto urbano di riferimento, con l’obiettivo di ricostruire i processi storici che ne hanno determinato la formazione, individuare gli scambi tra il cantiere, l’ambiente urbano e il territorio limitrofo, principale bacino di approvvigionamento di maestranze, manodopera e materiali. Nella prima parte del testo si descrivono gli ampliamenti e le trasformazioni della cattedrale, suddivisi in base ai grandi progetti costruttivi che ne segnano l’evoluzione: dalla chiesa a terminazione absidale della fine del X-inizi dell’XI secolo, all’ecclesia maior a croce latina della seconda metà del XII secolo, completamente rinnovata a partire dagli anni ’60 del XIII secolo, fino ai grandi progetti di ampliamento del XIV secolo. Nella seconda parte si analizzano gli “indicatori” che caratterizzano il monumento e lo collegano alla città (i materiali, l’organizzazione delle maestranze e gli strumenti da loro impiegati, le tecniche costruttive), contestualizzando i numerosi cantieri che si sono succeduti nella costruzione della cattedrale in un più vasto quadro socio-economico.
