A luxurious and definitive exploration of how and why the Renaissance flourished in Italy for two centuries. The idea of “renaissance,” or rebirth, arose in Italy as a way of reviving the art, science, and scholarship of the Classical era. It was also powered by a quest to document artistic “reality” according to newly discovered scientific and mathematical principles. By the late 15th century, Italy had become the recognized European leader in the fields of painting, architecture, and sculpture. But why was Florence the center of this burgeoning creativity, and how did it spread to other Italian cities? Brimming with vivid reproductions of works by Leonardo, Michelangelo, Botticelli, Raphael, Titian, and others, this book showcases the creative achievements that traveled from Florence to Rome to Venice. Art historian Norbert Wolf explores the influence of secular and religious patronage on artistic development; how the urban structure and way of life allowed for such a rich exchange of ideas; and how ideas of humanism informed artists reaching toward the future while clinging to the ideals of the past. Insightful, accessible, and fascinating, this thoroughly researched book highlights the connections and mutual influences of Florence, Rome, and Venice as well as their intriguing rivalries and interdependencies.

With stunning photography, Italy: An Amazing Place looks at Italy’s most famous architectural, archaeological, and artistic sites, studying the ways they intersect to form cultural and civic identity—while reveling in their incredible beauty. Palaces and castles, villas and abbeys, churches and archaeological complexes: Italy’s signature structures tell extraordinary stories and are crucial to understanding its cities and cultures. One of the defining aspects of Italy’s art is its widespread distribution throughout the country. Indeed, Italy is a nation densely populated by extraordinary examples of art and architecture, and this network of treasures includes extraordinary symbolic structures, true universal icons that are known and loved around the world. These masterpieces are seen from a new perspective, in the context of their history and the cities and towns around them. Artistic, social, and human angles are covered. This book pays homage to the eternal beauty of Italy’s signature architectural works, which for centuries have relayed a message of serene beauty and human potential. Many times it has been noted that one of the most distinctive things about Italy’s great artistic heritage is that the art and architectural works that comprise it are so evenly distributed throughout the country, so that Italy itself is a kind of open-air museum. There are impressive works to be seen everywhere, from its major cities to its smallest towns and most isolated country villages. That’s actually unsurprising, given the incredibly varied geography of this nation, home to the highest mountains in Europe, nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean, with a wide variety of landscapes, climates, and historical and cultural backgrounds. Even the smaller locales are rich in sites and structures in numerous styles and reflect an array of models. A building, cathedral, castle, or archaeological complex becomes “great” when it stands as a memorable example that endures over time and expresses the needs, hopes, and dreams of the person who conceived of it and built it. A masterpiece clearly speaks to its original era, but also lives in the present. It fills us with emotion and tells us stories about the people who came before us—bonding us to the city and even the country where it is located. Examples of astounding mastery of visual mediums fill the pages of this book—Italy, it seems, has a limitless supply of buildings and other structures that move us, excite us, and claim our hearts forever.

I have frequently heard the lovers of art express a doubt whether the Roman School possesses the same inherent right to that distinctive appellation as the schools of Florence, Bologna, and Venice. Those of the latter cities were, indeed, founded by their respective citizens, and supported through a long course of ages; while the Roman School, it may be said, could boast only of Giulio Romano and Sacchi, and a few others, natives of Rome, who taught, and left scholars there. The other artists who flourished there were either natives of the cities of the Roman state, or from other parts of Italy, some of whom established themselves in Rome, and others, after the close of their labours there, returned and died in their native places. But this question is, if I mistake not, rather a dispute of words than of things, and similar to those objections advanced by the peripatetic sophists against the modern philosophy; insisting that they abuse the meaning of their words, and quoting, as an example, the vis inertiæ; as if that, which is in itself inert, could possess the quality of force. The moderns laugh at this difficulty, and coolly reply that, if the vis displeased them, they might substitute natura, or any other equivalent word; and that it was lost time to dispute about words, and neglect things. So it may be said in this case; they who disapprove of the designation of school, may substitute that of academy, or any other term denoting a place where the art of painting is professed and taught. And, as the learned universities always derive their names from the city where they are established, as the university of Padua or Pisa, although the professors may be all, or in great part, from other states, so it is with the schools of painting, to which the name of the country is always attached, in preference to that of the master. In Vasari we do not find this classification of schools, and Monsignor Agucchi was the first to divide Italian art into the schools of Lombardy, Venice, Tuscany, and Rome.[1] He has employed the term of schools after the manner of the ancients, and has thus characterised one of them as the Roman School. He has, perhaps, erred in placing Michel Angiolo, as well as Raphael, at the head of this school, as posterity have assigned him his station as chief of the school of Florence; but he has judged right in classing it under a separate head, possessing, as it does, its own peculiar style; and in this he has been followed by all the modern writers of art. The characteristic feature in the Roman School has been said to consist in a strict imitation of the works of the ancients, not only in sublimity, but also in elegance and selection; and to this we shall add other peculiarities, which will be noticed in their proper place.
