D.R. Edward WrightIL «DE PICTURA» DI LEON BATTISTA ALBERTI E I SUOI LETTORI (1435 -1600)
The author proposes a reading of Alberti’s De pictura through the analysis of the Florentine cultural context of the 1430s in an attempt to verify the purely educational purpose of the treaty. The investigation starts from the ancient sources regarded as a model of style and content, and extends up to proposing a hypothesis on the category of readers which the work intended to address.

Giuseppe SquillaceIL PROFUMO NEL MONDO ANTICO
Con la prima traduzione italiana del «Sugli odori» di Teofrasto
Prefazione di Lorenzo Villoresi
The volume contains the Italian translation of Perì Osmòn by Theophrastus alongside the original Greek text, as well as a collection of passages by ancient authors on the theme of perfumes: from Herodotus to Xenophon, from Pliny the Elder to Athenaeus, from Hippocrates to Nicander, from Plato to Aristotle. It constitutes a tool for additional research while fulfilling the curiosity of those not working directly in the field, an area, that of perfumery, always rich in fascination.

Amelio Fara«L'ARTE VINSE LA NATURA»
Buontalenti e il disegno di architettura da Michelangelo a Guarini
Within the scope of architectural drawing, the ties that bind Michelangelo, Bernardo Buontalenti and Guarino Guarini are primarily structural. Those same ties prompt the need to reread some of Michelangelo’s drawings, to reformulate Buontalenti’s artistic development in light of the influence of Michelangelesque architectural documents in his possession; and, furthermore, to innovatively introduce, within the framework of studies on Guarini, the research on the relationship, never before established, between Teatino and Florence.

Massimo De Vico FallaniIL VERO GIARDINIERE COLTIVA IL TERRENO
Tecniche colturali della tradizione italiana
Supported by the author’s long experience in the field, this book deals with the theme of garden conservation, with special attention to ancient techniques, and particularly those of the Italian tradition. It focuses on the value of man and his craftsmanship, in a concept of garden of man that, through the cultivation methods applied, returns to its origin; a ‘biological’ garden where the binomial man-nature can rediscover its productive identity and mutual benefit.
