Book Synopsis Florentine Villas in the Fifteenth Century by : Amanda Lillie
Download or read book Florentine Villas in the Fifteenth Century written by Amanda Lillie and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-04-18 with total page 734 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, which was originally published in 2005, Amanda Lillie challenges the urban bias in Renaissance art and architectural history by investigating the architecture and patronage strategies, particularly those of the Strozzi and the Sassetti clans, in the Florentine countryside during the fifteenth century. Based entirely on archival material that remained unpublished at the time of publication, her book examines a number of villas from this period and reconstructs the value systems that emerge from these sources, which defy the traditional, idealized interpretation of the 'renaissance villa'. Here, the house is studied in relation to the families who lived in them and to the land that surrounded them. The villa emerges as a functional, utilitarian farming unit upon whose success families depended, and where dynastic and patrimonial values could be nurtured.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Florentine Villas In early times the great Florentine families lived in their strong castles like robber chieftians, waging incessant war on each other and on the adjacent villages and towns, and when later they went to dwell in the walled city they built their palaces like strongholds. High towers and thick walls defended Guelf against Ghibelline, and as one party or the other obtained supremacy the beaten rivals were driven to seek refuge in their hill-castles. The nobles, writes Macchiavelli, were divided against each other and the people against the nobles. And from these divisions resulted so many deaths, so many banishments, so many destructions of families, as never befell in any other city.

Book Synopsis Hidden Lives / Secret Gardens by : R. T. Schnadelbach
Download or read book Hidden Lives / Secret Gardens written by R. T. Schnadelbach and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: hidden lives / secret gardens is a synthetic history about gardens and human sexuality. Written in an accessible style for the garden enthusiast, the serious landscape designer, and those interested in the lives of international celebrities, the book explores the very roots of Modernism as begun in Florence, Italy in the very first year of the twentieth century. For the past twenty-years, R. Terry Schnadelbach, FAAR, Professor of Landscape Architecture, University of Florida, has researched the Modernist era in landscape architecture. He authored a book, Ferruccio Vitale, Landscape Architect of the Country Place Era, on the Florentine landscape architect, who brought to America both the formal garden as well as its first Modernist landscapes. In hidden lives / secret gardens, Schnadelbach exposes the engaging and intertwined lives of a group of expatriates, their secluded hillside villas and secret new gardens that ushered a new direction in garden design. Three successive new gardens at Villas Gamberaia, La Pietra and I Tatti were among the earliest Modernist landscapes and were an inspiration many landscape professionals in Britain and America. While hidden lives / secret gardens manuscript focuses on the revival of the Renaissance aesthetic in Florence and paints a picture of each garden's history, it explores the new and emerging field of sexual psychology through the hidden lives of the Villa's owners and designers, revealing their artistic life styles, their commercial and sexual mores.
