Biography

Giancarla Periti

'... a group of lively, stimulating essays which fulfil the aims of the collection. They are contributions that will appeal primarily to a scholarly art-historical readership, but the new and interdisciplinary approaches adopted will make the collection one that will be recommended reading for, and of interest to, students of Italian Renaissance art as well as to academics.'
