Opera
Carattere e ruolo delle fabbriche cittadine fino all'inizio dell'età moderna

‘Opera’, ‘opus’, ‘fabbrica’ as initiative of the two most important citizen forces, the Commune and the Church, in the construction or the re-building throughout the centuries of public buildings - often for worship- singling out the artistic committence, the organizing body and the means available. The outcome is comparable to the political and social evolution of Medieval cities sparking off a civic ideal from which emerges the concept of unitary aspiration for citizen regulations. The work of several expert scholars comprising an impotant comparison on the historical-urbanistic and institutional relationships within the limits of the most significant works realized in the Middle Ages.
