Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By exploring the evolution of the Medici family’s villas, Cultivating the Renaissance charts the shifting politics, philosophy and aesthetics of the age and chronicles the rise of an extraordinary family from obscure farmers to European royalty. From the fourteenth to the eighteenth century, the Medici family dominated European life. While promoting both arts and sciences, the Medici helped create a new style of architecture, present a new idea of villa life and promote the novel idea of living in harmony with nature. Used variously for pleasure and sports, scholarly and amorous liaisons, commercial enterprise and botanical experimentation, their villas both expressed and influenced contemporary ideas on politics, philosophy, art and design. Each patron's public interests and private passions, as well as the architects, artists and philosophers they employed, are examined. Through a chronological approach, this book reveals how the villas were used, their reception by contemporary commentators, their legacy and their current state five centuries after they were first built. Lavishly illustrated, Cultivating the Renaissance is of great interest to students and scholars of architecture, horticulture, landscape history, philosophy, art and the history of the Renaissance in Italy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utile guida alle ville e ai giardini nei dintorni di Firenze, il libro permette di conoscere i complessi architettonici rurali delle più illustri e nobili famiglie fiorentine, prima fra tutte quella dei Medici, e le testimonianze archeologiche della Piana e delle colline a nord-ovest di Firenze. "Circondate da splendidi parchi e giardini - recita la presentazione di Matteo Renzi - le ville medicee, ma non solo, sono una grande ricchezza per i fiorentini ma anche per i turisti". A partire dalla formidabile triade delle ville medicee della zona di confine con Sesto: Petraia, Castello e Corsini, recentemente rilanciata anche grazie al restauro e all'esposizione di pezzi antichi provenienti dagli Uffizi. Ma tante altre ville, musei, luoghi privilegiati per l'incontro con la natura e con l'arte costellano il percorso: ognuno potrà divertirsi a scoprirli, sul territorio e sul volume. "L'iniziativa inviterà chi non ne ha l'esperienza diretta - scrive Cristina Acidini - a familiarizzare con le novità degli ultimi anni, dalla sistemazione delle magnifiche fontane cinquecentesche di Castello e Petraia alle colture introdotte nei giardini.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Italy boasts a rich cultural history that has found its expression in beautiful, powerful architectural forms, at times measured and hidden, at times ostentatious and triumphant. This volume focuses on about thirty residential villas and palaces, giving the reader the opportunity to visit the magnificent palaces of Venice, Genoa, and Mantua, the elegant villas designed by Palladio and decorated by Tiepolo; the country villas of Tuscany, hidden in olive groves and vineyards; and the austere palaces of Florence-not to mention the Versaces' villa on Lake Como. The interiors of these palaces are magnificent to behold: splendid tapestries, exquisite paintings and murals, sumptuous furniture and interior decoration of all kinds, from elegant carved molding to magnificently inlaid and tiled floors to beautiful renaissance, baroque, and neoclassical furniture.
