Description: The Villa in the Life of Renaissance Rome

BOOKThe Villa in the Life of Renaissance Rome

David R. Coffin

https://doi.org/10.37862/aaeportal.00163

Stable URL: https://aaeportal.com/?id=-18520

Tracing the history of the Roman villa during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, David Coffin presents the first comprehensive study of the subject of villeggiatura (withdrawal to a country residence) in English. Further, his book is the first in any language to analyze the villa in terms of its social function and meaning rather than its architecture and formal properties. Coffin draws on a wide variety of printed material and previously unused sources to explore twenty of the most important residences built by dignitaries of Church and State. Early plans and drawings and photographs aid him in reconstructing the leisure activity of the leaders of Renaissance society in the settings that were built to enhance it.
