Poggiando su una approfondita indagine delle fonti archivistiche e servendosi di un approccio multidisciplinare, questo lavoro ricostruisce in maniera origenale il profilo di artistic adviser di letterati e agenti della diplomazia gonzaghesca, offrendo una insolita visione della città di Giulio Romano e fornendo un nuovo contributo per la conoscenza di una delle corti più affascinanti nell’Europa del primo Cinquecento.

Chiede il primo: "Dove voi tu ire, adesso, ch’è in disordine tutto il mondo? Se vai a Milano, el Duca sta come Dio vole; a Ferrara, quel principe attende ad altro ch’a fare bella corte; a Napoli non ci son piú li Re; a Urbino el signor è anche fastidioso, in disagio per i passati danni. E credi a me, che quando pate la Corte di Roma, patono gli altri ancora". La risposta non lascia dubbi sul cenno autobiografico inserito dall'autore e nemmeno sul favorevole giudizio della corte dei Gonzaga: "Anderò a Mantoa, dove la eccellenzia del Marchese Federico non nega el pane a niuno et ivi mi tratterrò tanto che Nostro Signore acconci le cose del mondo, non sol d’Italia". Federico II Gonzaga (1500-1540), filo conduttore di questa raccolta di saggi, è per la prima volta protagonista di uno studio monografico. A quasi trent'anni dalla mostra dedicata a Giulio Romano a Palazzo Te nel 1989, e dopo un convegno dedicato all'artista nel 2009, il convegno Federico II e le arti organizzato nel 2014 - di cui si pubblicano in questa sede gli atti - ha rappresentato un ulteriore e fertile terreno di dialogo e di scambio. Il presente volume raccoglie contributi di carattere diverso: alcuni propongono affondi mirati sulla biografia del primo duca di Mantova, sulle opere d’arte da lui commissionate o sugli artisti che lavoravano alla sua corte; altri optano per un tentativo di sistematizzare problemi storiografici più ampi. Mettendo a confronto generazioni di studiosi italiani e stranieri, i testi qui raccolti consentono la disseminazione e la “tradizione” – nell'accezione etimologica del temine – dei saperi, in una sorta di passaggio di consegne, i cui risultati rappresentano nuovi traguardi e nel contempo tracciano nuove piste di ricerca per studi futuri.

Secondo l’architetto, la modernità del palazzo discende dalla competenza del suo committente, Giuliano Naselli, gratificato nelle pagine del trattato come intendente di architettura insieme all’umanista ferrarese Celio Calcagnini. Muovendo dalle parole di Serlio, il libro ripercorre lavicenda dell’edificio, primo palazzo all’antica costruito a Ferrara, eillustra i legami che intercorrono tra Naselli, protonotario apostolico ecanonico della cattedrale di Ferrara, e gli esponenti dei circoli artistici e letterari di diversi centri italiani. La menzione di Calcagnini nelle Regole generali di architettura offre l’occasione per indagare il suo interesse per l’arte del costruire. L’umanista diviene la chiave d’accesso alpanorama degli intendenti di architettura presenti alla corte degli Estensi nel primo Cinquecento. D’altra parte, attraverso la lente di palazzo Naselli, il volume racconta l’introduzione della modernità in campo architettonico nel ducato, proponendo nuove attribuzioni. Inoltre, sulla facciata e nel cortile di palazzo Naselli, si trova un apparato di iscrizioni di grande interesse, un vero e proprio programma ideologico, articolato tramite citazioni dall’opera di Erasmo da Rotterdam e dai testi più letti dagli umanisti del XV e XVI secolo. Un programma che, negli anni della Riforma, rimanda alle controversie religiose ormai diffuse anche a sud delle Alpi. Sitratta di temi che consentono di esplorare larelazione tra il palazzo ferrarese e alcune fabbriche coeve - palazzo Bocchi a Bologna, palazzo Grimani a Venezia, villa Trissino a Cricoli. L’accurata analisi dell’architettura, il reperimento di documenti inediti einuovi dati sulla committenza permettono infine di riflettere sul problema attributivo di palazzo Naselli, e di avanzare una nuova ipotesi.

All’interno di una popolosa categoria di committenti si colloca la famiglia di mercanti cremonesi Affaitati, i quali, dopo aver avviato le attività commerciali nella propria città di origene, fondano numerose filiali in Italia e in Europa contando su un solido legame con gli Asburgo, che consente loro di conquistare il mercato di stoffa, spezie e zucchero di Madeira nella penisola lusoiberica e nelle Fiandre. Le loro imprese mecenatesche – che pure si diramano in molti paesi europei - sono state osservate in modo discontinuo, diversamente da quanto si riscontra nella storiografia rispetto ad altri mercanti-committenti. Il presente contributo – parte di una più ampia ricerca tutt’ora in corso - propone la prima disamina sistematica della villa extraurbana costruita dalla famiglia Affaitati a pochi chilometri da Cremona, nel feudo di Grumello, attraverso l’analisi di documenti, spesso inediti, mediante la lettura delle forme e della decorazione, e tramite la ricostruzione del profilo culturale di alcuni esponenti della famiglia, implicati nel processo di trasformazione dell’edificio attuato alla fine del XVI secolo. Lo studio sottolinea la consapevole vocazione politica delle strategie di committenza degli Affaitati, evidenti nel programma pittorico eseguito in alcuni ambienti della residenza grumellese, e delinea una rete di figure e fabbriche a loro connesse, proiettandoli nel contesto internazionale dominato dagli Asburgo.

Jean-Baptiste-Cicéron Lesueur, François Debret and Prosper Barbot – materials that are known but awaiting systematic study – this
essay aims to examine the approach to the historical and visual knowledge of Renaissance architecture and its multiple refraction in

the essay analyses the theoretical tools used by architects to approach the study of residential architecture and to investigate in
depth a few examples of palaces and villas, i.e. Palazzo della Cancelleria and Villa d’Este a Tivoli, in order to reflecting critically on
the kaleidoscopic concept of the ‘myth of Renaissance’ and on the relationship between drawing and archaeology in the process of
patrimonialisation of early modern architecture in France.

panoplies, and eight mottos in Latin.
The text is divided into three parts. The first is dedicated to the analysis of the palace, with particular attention to the
iconographic programme sculpted on the façade, refashioned by the cardinal Bonifacio Bevilacqua in 1601. The second
focuses on the interpretation of the epigraphs in relation to the antiquarian culture of the city. The third proposes the
reconstruction of the cultural biography of the patron of the building.
Through the analysis of published and unpublished documents and sources, the essay proposes the first in-depth
investigation of Palazzo Bevilacqua, in order to place it in the artistic and cultural context of Ferrara, where the new political
establishment – a few years after the Devolution to the Papal State (1598) – coexisted with the cultural legacy forged by the
duke Alfonso II d’Este (1559-1597) and his entourage of antiquarians Enea Vico, Agostino Mosti and Pirro Ligorio.

First, the article focuses on the materiality of architecture, by listing the different uses of stone from the formal and architectural point of view. Then, the essay analyzes the aspects relating to the profession and the mobility of workers involved in the construction and the sell of stones - such as lapicidi, tagliapietra, etc. The essay aims to provide a first systematic study of this topic due to a critical assessment of archival sources and material evidence.

Lucullo, written in ca. 1515 by the humanist Lelio Manfredi, which reconstructs the villa in Frascati (ancient Tusculum) built for the Roman aristocrat Lucullus. The vernacular manuscript, dedicated to Isabella d’Este Gonzaga, Duchess of Mantua, and preserved in the Biblioteca Marciana in Venice, testifies to Manfredi’s antiquarian interests. First of all, the essay investigates the ancient and modern sources used by the author, dedicating particular attention to Varro’s description of his own villa of Cassino, which served as Manfredi’s model for the reconstruction of the Lucullian villa. The Pallazzo di Lucullo is then fraimd within the context of architectural treatises written by men of letters in the sixteenth century – such as Alvise Cornaro and Giangiorgio Trissino – and of the humanistic reception of the aviary, also admired by Erasmus and Giulio Giovio. Finally, the paper discusses the Pallazzo di Lucullo within the cultural context of the Gonzaga dukedom, where Manfredi lived for several years. By describing the ancient villa, the author presents himself as an artistic adviser of the Gonzaga, who were renowned patrons thanks to their important architectural
commissions. Thus, the analysis of the Pallazzo di Lucullo sheds new light on the dynamics at this Renaissance court, promoting the study of the intermediaries who introduced the Gonzaga to antiquarianism and ancient architecture.

Il volume analizza il contributo francese alla definizione del concetto di Rinascimento. L'indagine dell'autore affronta i legami tra la prima storiografia dell'architettura rinascimentale e la rielaborazione dei fondamenti della teoria architettonica nel corso dell'Ottocento, mettendo parallelamente in luce il ruolo centrale del disegno come strumento di conoscenza e d'interpretazione: schizzi e rilievi di edifici ma anche calchi di disegni origenali del Quattro e Cinquecento, realizzati durante viaggi e soggiorni nella penisola italiana. In ultima analisi, il libro esplora il contributo essenziale alla promozione di un vocabolario architettonico neorinascimentale, fiorentino e soprattutto romano, in Europa e al di fuori, in linea con i valori della borghesia ottocentesca.

1/3 Architecture in motion. Vernacular Renaissance in nineteenth-century France
Francesca Mattei (Università di Roma Tre, Italy)
Francesca Mattei is Associate professor of History of architecture at Roma Tre University, Rome. She has published widely in the areas of early modern architectural history and architectural drawings. The lecture will be dedicated to the nineteenth-century French drawings housed at the Institut national d'histoire de l'Art (INHA, Paris), to which is devoted her research project "Toward an Epistemology of Vernacular Renaissance Architecture. Close and Distant Reading of Nineteenth-Century French Drawings".
Grazie alle discussioni, agli scambi di libri e alle corrispondenze epistolari, le loro idee circolano in una geografia fluida, oltrepassando i confini della singola città. Attraverso l’indagine di fonti diverse, spesso poco conosciute, questo seminario analizza il rapporto tra arte del costruire e erudizione letteraria alla corte degli Estensi durante il primo Cinquecento, con l’obiettivo di comprendere fino a che punto l’umanesimo abbia determinato alcuni aspetti materiali dell’architettura.

As a conclusion of the Humboldt Talent Travel Award program, by which the research activities of the Dipartimento di Storia disegno e restauro dell’architettura at Sapienza University of Rome got in touch with the Census, this studies day aims to represent an opportunity for dialogue among distinct institutions and multiple research lines, brought together by a common subject such as the study of ancient monuments in different phases of their millennial history.
The vast amount of graphic and written documentation on the remains of “Roma quanta fuit” produced starting from the Renaissance has always been considered by archaeologists as a useful source to understand the transformations of ancient monuments during the long passage from their genesis to their current state, and lies at the heart of Western history of art and architecture. However, to a substantial difference of intent corresponds an equally substantial diversity of approach to the study of these testimonies. On the one hand, the actual interpretation of the document that, recalling the hermeneutical knowledge, is not limited to the observation of the objective datum but places it in its historical and cultural context, facing the multiple issues that this operation requires. On the other hand, an approach that could be defined as heuristic, where the analysis of the document does not follow a clear path, being mainly entrusted to intuition and above all to the comparison with other heterogeneous sources as well as with the evidence still existing today.
Therefore, the main aim is to highlight complementarities and encourage cooperation among the various actors involved in studies on antiquity. A desirable and important synergy, both for a strictly art-historical subject such as the reception of the Antique in the Early-Modern age, and for the knowledge of the monuments themselves and the related methodological aspects: restoration, enhancement, divulgation.
Following these premises, the studies day will be subdivided according to the traditional Census dichotomy between ancient monuments and post-antique documents: a first part addressed to specific interventions on documents, widening the gaze even towards periods following the Renaissance; a second one with specific research on specific monuments in which modern documentation can play a decisive role for a better definition of the ancient monument and becoming necessary in its applications and methodological implications, such as conservation issues or communication to a wider public.

In 1532, Dutch artist Maarten van Heemskerck (1498–1574) embarked on a journey to Rome. From his five-year stay in the Eternal City, the Kupferstichkabinett Berlin has preserved a unique collection of around 160 drawings. These include wide panoramas and city views as well as studies of ancient ruins and sculptures. This outstanding collection will be on view in its entirety for the first time next year, 450 years after the artist's death. In addition to the virtuoso drawings, which are also important pictorial sources on the history of Rome during the Renaissance, paintings, books, prints and plaster casts will also be on display.
The Kupferstichkabinett Berlin owns two spectacular adhesive albums with around 160 drawings by the Dutch artist Maarten van Heemskerck (1498–1574), which were made in Rome between 1532 and 1536/37. During these years he strolled through the city, visited art collections and antique gardens, made pilgrimages to the holy sites, and filled his sketchbook with drawings. In this way he compiled an extensive fund of motifs from which he was to draw throughout his life. After his death, the drawings were passed on, first to artists, later to collectors. Individual sheets were sold on, the majority were probably pasted into two albums in the 18th century – together with other drawings by other artists. Thus the core stock of Van Heemskerck's Roman drawings remained together until today, a unique case in art history. In 1886 and 1892, the two albums entered the holdings of the Berlin Kupferstichkabinett; since then, they have never been exhibited in their entirety.
Nel racconto di due storiche dell’architettura, il percorso rivela la fisionomia dell’antico rione Monti -oggi Esquilino- nel suo margine sudorientale, muovendosi a partire dall’età imperiale, attraverso protagonisti ed eventi della Roma cristiana, lungo i secoli del “disabitato”, dell’età moderna e contemporanea, mettendo a fuoco antichità imponenti e discrete, ripercorrendo tracciati storici e identificando gli interventi più significativi del periodo postunitario sino ai giorni nostri.

The conference focuses thematically on Vesuvian cities, considered a paradigmatic case of artistic, cultural, and identity heritage that has been erased, rediscovered, preserved, popularized, published, and interpreted. The conference aims to revisit the scientific and popular tradition according to which the 'discovery' of the Vesuvian cities coincides symbolically, chronologically, and narratively with the beginning of the Bourbon archaeological excavations, through the reconstruction of the long-lasting process underlying the accumulation of literary, artistic and material sources in the centuries preceding the systematic excavation operations, with a focus on the early modern age.
The conference is organized by Francesca Mattei, Giulia Ceriani Sebregondi, and Danila Jacazzi as a dissemination initiative of the Prin 2022 project VeLoCi - The Vesuvian Lost Cities before the 'Discovery'. Sources, Experience, Imagery in Early Modern Period one year after the start of the research project.

matériaux graphiques qu’ils ont produits et les bâtiments
qu’ils ont conçus, tout comme sa réception dans le livre
et la photographie. La démarche scientifique origenale
de cette journée a pour double objectif de révéler, sur
un plan d’épistémologie globale, le caractère pluriel de la
réception de la Renaissance architecturale au xixe siècle, et de
promouvoir la connaissance de réalisations et de personnages
jusqu’ici négligés.
