• Sommario/riassunto: This scholarly volume examines the historical movement, transformation, and reuse of objects across the Mediterranean region from the 10th to the 20th centuries. Edited by Beatrice Falcucci, Emanuele Giusti, and Davide Trentacoste, the work brings together essays analyzing the Mediterranean as a dynamic space of cultural, economic, and material exchange. By focusing on the flows of objects—ranging from textiles and bronze doors to manuscripts and luxury goods—the book explores how these items shaped local and global connections across diverse historical, geographical, and cultural contexts. The contributors challenge linear narratives, emphasizing the multidirectional and entangled histories of displacement, adaptation, and repurposing. This work is intended for historians, archaeologists, and scholars of cultural studies interested in Mediterranean studies, material culture, and global history.
