The growth of princely states in early Renaissance Italy brought a
thorough renewal to the old seats of power. One of the most
conspicuous outcomes of this process was the building or rebuilding
of new court palaces, erected as prestigious residences in accord
with the new 'classical' principles of Renaissance architecture.
The novelties, however, went far beyond architectural forms: they
involved the reorganisation of courtly interiors and their
functions, new uses for the buildings, and the relationship between
the palaces and their surroundings. The whole urban setting was
affected by these processes, and therefore the social, residential
and political customs of its inhabitants. This is the focus of A
Renaissance Architecture of Power, which aims to analyse from a
comparative perspective the evolution of Italian court palaces in
the Renaissance in their entirety. Contributors are Silvia
Beltramo, Flavia Cantatore, Bianca de Divitiis, Emanuela Ferretti,
Marco Folin, Giulio Girondi, Andrea Longhi, Marco Rosario Nobile,
Aurora Scotti, Elena Svalduz, and Stefano Zaggia.
