Lorenzo de'Medici, Collector of Antiquities
Lorenzo de' Medici was a key figure in the creation of the Renaissance. An important patron of the arts in fifteenth century Florence, he was also a passionate collector of objects from antiquity and the post-antique period. His activities as a collector are documented in a group of 173 letters, previously unknown and published here for the first time, which provide the most complete picture of a well-known and historically important collector. As revealed in these letters, Lorenzo acquired sculpture to embellish his palace, but his real predilection was for small objects: coins, hardstone vases, and gems. His main source was the Roman dealer Giovanni Ciampolini, whose scandalous behavior demonstrates the gamesmanship of the art market. This book reveals how objects were studied, where they were displayed, the criteria for their selection, and their monetary worth.

Piero di Lorenzo de' Medici and the Crisis of Renaissance Italy
Following the life of one man, Piero de' Medici, Lorenzo the Magnificent's son, Alison Brown sheds new light on several of the most important themes of Renaissance history and culture by combining political history, the history of ideas, and cultural history. This interdisciplinary study weaves together an understudied period of crisis in Italy which brought down three leading dynasties, the revolution that in turn led to the new political realism of writers like Machiavelli, Guicciardini and Francesco Vettori, and, finally, the transition from the civic culture of the early Renaissance to the courtly or princely culture of the Cinquecento. Focusing on Piero's full life and colourful character, Brown grants us a unique and contextualised insight into the patronage, culture and politics of Renaissance Italy whilst grounding broader trends within the lived experience of Florence's most famous ruling family.

Quando Torni?
Serena e una ventenne con il sogno di diventare una giornalista. Sandra una madre smarrita ed una moglie tradita. Simone, un giovane cresciuto con due unici punti fermi: sua madre e la sua chitarra. Tre vite destinate a sfiorarsi senza mai toccarsi pienamente, pur condividendo lo stesso destino: quello di crearsi un futuro lontano da casa, da quei piccoli centri del Sud Italia, trasferendosi a Londra. Serena, Sandra e Simone hanno il volto di quel mezzo milione e piu di italiani che secondo le stime dell'ambasciata e del consolato risiedono in Regno Unito. Non sono storie di chi ce l'ha fatta, ma di chi ha vinto nonostante le debolezze. Di chi ha creduto nella grandezza dei propri sogni e nell' inconsistenza delle proprie paure. Di chi non ha temuto di mostrarsi per quello che e. Di chi una casa ha deciso di portarsela dentro, per farvi ritorno ogni giorno.
