Description

This session, one of three that is sponsored by the Italian Art Society, explores civic foundation legends in the art of medieval and Renaissance Sicily and Apulia. The aim is to advance our understanding of the interrelation between civic identity and visual culture while exploring the complex sociopolitical circumstances underlying the manufacture and propagation of historical narratives.
