Synopsis

This book, a comprehensive survey of historical dress in Italy, explores the sartorial evolution of a nation from ancient times through the sixteenth century. The author traces the development of Italian fashion from its origins in the garments of Roman soldiers and patricians, through the medieval period, and into the Renaissance, when Italy became a center of artistic and cultural innovation. Drawing on a wealth of sources, including paintings, sculptures, and written accounts, the author provides a detailed and richly illustrated account of the materials, styles, and social significance of Italian clothing. This book is a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the history of fashion and the cultural heritage of Italy.
