It contains nine case studies which discuss, among others, the relationship between biblical imagery and the realistic depiction of urban disasters; the religious, political and ritual meanings of ?destruction subjects? in early modern painting; the image of fire in Renaissance treatises on architecture; the first photographic campaigns documenting earthquakes? damages; the role of contemporary art in the elaboration of a cultural memory of urban destructions. Thus, this book intends to address one of the main issues of Western civilization: the relationship of European towns with their own past and its discontinuities. Contributors are Alessandro Del Puppo, Isabella di Lenardo, Marco Folin, Sophie Goetzmann, Emanuela Guidoboni, Philippe Malgouyres, Olga Medvedkova, Fabrizio Nevola, Monica Preti and Tiziana Serena. 410 0$aArt and Material Culture in Medieval and Renaissance Europe$v3. 606 $aCities and towns in art 606 $aDisasters in art 606 $aCities and towns$zEurope 606 $aDisasters$zEurope 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCities and towns in art. 615 0$aDisasters in art. 615 0$aCities and towns 615 0$aDisasters 676 $a704.9/444 702 $aFolin$b Marco 702 $aPreti$b Monica 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460915803321 996 $aWounded cities$91506049 997 $aUNINA
