Cities are shaped as much by a repertoire of buildings, works and
objects, as by cultural institutions, ideas and interactions
between forms and practices entangled in identity formations. This
is particularly true when seen through a city as forceful and
splendid as Venice. The essays in this volume investigate these
connections between art and identity, through discussions of
patronage, space and the dissemination of architectural models and
knowledge in Venice, its territories and beyond. They celebrate
Professor Deborah Howard's leading role in fostering a historically
grounded and interdisciplinary approach to the art and architecture
of Venice. Based on an examination and re-interpretation of a wide
range of archival material and primary sources, the contributing
authors approach the notion of identity in its many guises: as
self-representation, as strong sub-currents of spatial strategies,
as visual and semantic discourses, and as political and imperial
aspirations. Employing interdisciplinary modes of interpretation,
these studies offer ground-breaking analyses of canonical sites and
works of art, diverse groups of patrons, as well as the life and
oeuvre of leading architects such as Jacopo Sansovino and Andrea
Palladio. In so doing, they link together citizens and nobles, past
and present, the real and the symbolic, space and sound, religion
and power, the city and its parts, Venice and the Stato da Mar, the
Serenissima and the Sublime Port.
