Abstract: Among the most recognizable and best-loved features of Rome are its fountains. The many varied examples that grace the urban fabric of the "Eternal City" were designed by some of Europe's greatest artists and architects, including Domenico Fontana, Giacomo della Porta, Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Nicola Salvi. Built at enormous expense, and often requiring new water-feeds to be constructed from miles outside Rome, the fountains were important elements of the urban renewal undertaken by the papal rulers, who were concerned with the creation of a new city which would demonstrate their triumphant and undisputed authority - echoing, where necessary, the heritage of Imperial Rome. A wide-ranging survey of these remarkable monuments is presented in this work, which includes colour photographs taken both at night and by day. The fountains are described individually, from the story of their commission and creation to stylistic and technical analyses. Maps and contemporary documents complete the survey.

Cinisello Balsamo, Silvana Ed. 1993, cm.26x29, pp.156, centinaia di ill.e tavv.bn.nt. legatura ed.soprac.fig.a col. La lunga storia della città di Roma è un esempio eccezionale di continuità urbana che, dai primi stanziamenti a oggi, ha superato i tre millenni: la città antica preromana e romana, la città nuova medioevale e dell'età moderna, la terza Roma infine, capitale d'Italia, cui è specificamente dedicata questa collana in tre volumi. In questo secondo volume si focalizza il periodo che va dall'ultima stagione della Belle Epoque alla fine del secondo conflitto mondiale, trentacinque anni decisivi, segnati da un tumultuoso sviluppo edilizio oltreché dal ventennio fascista: anni che vedono da una parte la nascita delle borgate, e dall'altra la tendenza a una retorica ""monumentale-imperiale"", che incidono profondamente sul tessuto urbano, per tacere dei bombardamenti del '43.

Papers Given at the Thirty-Sixth Annual Conference on Editorial Problems,University of Toronto, 3-4 November 2000. Toronto, University of Toronto Press 2003, cm.15x23, pp.206, legatura editoriale, sopraccoperta figurata a colori. Testo in inglese. Thirteenth-century theologian, philosopher, and church leader, Robert Grosseteste was one of the most learned men and respected scholars of his time. Elected as the Bishop of Lincoln in 1235, a post he held until his death in 1253, Grosseteste was something of a polymath, exploring subjects ranging from the natural sciences (physics, cosmography, etc.) to pastoral care and speculative theology. More than 1000 medieval manuscripts of his works are scattered in libraries throughout Europe, and as a result there are immense challenges faced by editors who wish to provide modern critical editions of his works. This collection of essays, in the series on Editorial Problems, offers historical and contextual discussions of several of Grosseteste's works, including the Super Psalterium, Le Chateau d'amour, and Grosseteste's translation of the pseudo-Dionysian Ecclesiastical Hierarchy, among others. In addressing specific aspects of the editorial process - questions of authenticity, chronology, textual transmission, editorial practice, and contemporary sources and influences - the contributors provide new insight into Grosseteste's work through the use of both traditional and cross-disciplinary approaches.
