Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the transformative role of Renaissance antiquarians in shaping art and knowledge through their discoveries. Highlighting significant finds like Livy's remains and Nero's Golden House, it delves into the methods used by these scholars and their collaborations with alchemists and craftspeople. The narrative reveals how the revival of ancient artifacts not only inspired new artistic and scholarly pursuits but also intertwined with religious devotion, challenging the perception of antiquarianism as purely secular.
