Brossura. Condition: new. Traduzione di Cocchi C. Firenze, 2013; br., pp. 285, ill. col., cm 21x28. (Studi e Percorsi Storico-Artistici). "Questa nuova edizione in lingua italiana è venuta alla luce grazie alla passione e alla dedizione di Costanza Cocchi nel Dipartimento di Architettura all'Università di Firenze, che nel corso della sua tesi su Palazzo Spinelli, aveva tradotto per conto suo l'intero testo del nostro libro, 'The Spinelli of Florence: fortunes of a Renaissance merchant family', uscito oramai tredici anni fa. Ci siamo conosciuti tramite internet, scambiandoci le nostre idee sull'architettura e sul mecenatismo d'arte rinascimentale. Dopo non molto tempo abbiamo trovato un altro collaboratore, Simone Gismondi, che s'interessava al progetto per conto della casa editrice Edifir-Edizioni Firenze. Vogliamo ringraziare di cuore Elena Mariotti, per il suo lavoro di redazione e di impaginazione di questo volume. Ringraziamo anche le nostre rispettive istituzioni, The George Washington University e Vanderbilt University, per aver sovvenzionato questa pubblicazione e, in particolare, per avre trovato i fondi per riprodurre alcune immagini a colori. Molti colleghi hanno condiviso generosamente con noi la loro conoscenza profonda delle fonti archivistiche, e per questo gli esprimiamo la nostra gratitudine. Cogliamo l'occasione per ringraziare tutti coloro che ci hanno facilitato l'accesso ai monumenti, agli archivi e alle biblio-teche (sono troppi per citarli tutti!) e in particolare, Robert Babcock e Stella Cecchi, che hanno guidato l'acquisto e la catalogazione dell'archivio Spinelli."

Hardcover. Blue cloth, yellow & illus. dust jacket, 376 pp., BW illus. "Traces the attempt by Renaissance humanists to verify the historical foundations of Rome and to map its nascent urban formation. Remarkably, their debates hinged as much on polemics as on the evidence of inscriptions and texts. Antiquarians, apart from what they could observe from the vestiges of ancient Rome, actively reinterpreted the meaning of classical antiquity in light of their own culture. In analyzing the archaeological, philological, and historical methods of this period, [this book] demonstrates how the ancestry of Rome -- its myths, rituals, and artistic symbols -- were continually redefined and reappropriated. To Roman citizens this inheritance seemed part of their historical destiny. Yet in city after city throughout Italy, local humanists showed the same determination to establish their descent from ancient civilization." (dj). VG- (Slight water damage to top of first few pages, which doesn't interfere with text or illus.; top edge of DJ has some wear and age; otherwise crisp and clean.). …

Hardback. Condition: New. The private archive of the Spinelli, acquired by Yale University's Beinecke Library in 1988, constitutes the largest fund of information about a Florentine family anywhere outside Italy. The Spinelli of Florence tells the story of these merchants and their ascent to social and economic prominence during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. This book gives an intimate portrait of daily life-the worlds of papal finance, silk and wool manufacturing, and household affairs-as recorded in letters and financial ledgers preserved for two hundred years since the extinction of the male line.The fame of this family rests largely on the extraordinary success of one individual, Tommaso Spinelli, who broke into banking through the Alberti and Borromei organizations, later to serve as depository general under Pope Eugenius IV and financial officer to three subsequent popes. Tommaso sought to raise his status in society through ties of marriage and business rather than entering the political arena, which had led to the demise and exile of older, established Florentine families, notably the Peruzzi and Alberti. Like his contemporaries, Cosimo de'Medici, Giovanni Rucellai, and Francesco Sassetti, Tommaso poured his considerable wealth into the patronage of private palaces and villas in Rome and Florence, as well as through donations to the great Franciscan church of Santa Croce. Despite his reputation for magnificence, it was Tommaso's obeisance to the codes of religious decorum and his adherence to older artistic traditions that allowed him to commemorate himself and his family without censure.The authors of this collaborative study, an architectural historian and economic historian, add significantly to our knowledge of private and papal banking, wool and silk manufacturing, and patronage of the arts. The Spinelli of Florence is important for scholars of history, economic history, social history, and art history.…
