	Amazon.com: Art in Renaissance Italy (Trade Version): Books: John T. Paoletti,Gary M. Radke (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		This fine work by Paoletti and Radke (art history, Wesleyan Univ. and Syracuse Univ., respectively) is wide in scope, covering the years from 1300 to the late 1500s, and purposely opens discussion to include many major Italian cities, in response to Vasari's bias solely for Florence.
		Art lovers and history students alike will welcome this new edition of a highly regarded work previously issued for the academic market.
		The art is gorgeous and the contextual discussions--of Renaissance artists in their world and of Renaissance art in Western art history--are unmatched.

	Art- Nouveau in Italy
		The cultural and aesthetic movement known as New Art, and also termed "floral" for its penchant for biological forms, both natural and phytomorphous, started off in England through the celebrated shop "Liberty and Co", and subsequently spread from France too, through another commercial venture called precisely "Art Nouveau".
		They sprouted up in painting, in sculpture, in the applied arts and in every object of everyday life: floral motifs, delicate wooded ribbings, vegetable environments, tendrils, mouldings.
		At the same time, in a climate of spring blossoming, art was populated by the smallest and most vulnerable of animal creatures, by insects and small water molluscs, unusual and shy.
