cultural resources, which has been granting public access
to its unparalleled collections for half a millennium. For the

BOOK N OTICES
A RENAISSANCE EDUCATION:
The University of Toronto Press has just published A Renaissance Education: Schooling in Bergamo and the Venetian
Republic, 1500–1650, by Christopher Carlsmith. The book
uses a case study approach to examine educational practices
LQWKHQRUWKHDVWHUQ,WDOLDQFLW\RI%HUJDPRIURPWR
1650. Carlsmith illustrates how education in this and other
Venetian cities was affected by Renaissance humanism,
Tridentine Catholicism, and Venetian domination, and how
cooperation among various institutions resulted in a surprising array of options for schooling in these provincial cities.
A Renaissance Education’s close analysis of civic, ecclesiastical, confraternal, and family records not only paints a
vivid portrait of how schooling functioned in one city but also
explores this small city’s dynamic interconnections with other
locales and with larger regional processes.
TRADING PLACES:
Brill announces the publication of Trading Places: The
Netherlandish Merchants in Early Modern Venice by
Maartje van Gelder. The book examines the Netherlandish
merchant community in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century

their social and communal relations, as well as their interaction with the Venetian state, which was accustomed to
protect its own trade. The Netherlandish merchants in Venice, as part of an extensive international trading network,
were ideally placed to connect Mediterranean and Atlantic
commerce. They quickly became the most important group
of foreign merchants in the city at a time of rapid economic
changes. Drawing on a wide variety of primary sources, this

Chronologisch führt der Autor durch die Geschichte der
1895 als kleine Kunstausstellung gestarteten Ausstellungsreihe, die mit der Übernahme des nationalen Pavillonkonzepts 1907 vor und nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg große Erfolge
feiern konnte. Die internationale Resonanz auf die Biennale, die anhand zahlreicher Quellen dokumentiert wird,
war ein Garant für diesen Erfolg. Die Verstaatlichung 1930

führte Ende der 1930er Jahre mit der Kooperation mit der
nationalsozialistischen Kulturpoltik zu ihrer größten Krise.
Die Arbeit endet mit dem Jahr 1948, dem Startpunkt der
bis heute anhaltenden Erfolgsgeschichte, deren Grundlagen jedoch in den Entwicklungen der ersten 50 Jahre ihres
Bestehens liegen.
Der Autor zeigt, wie intensiv und wie konsequent
Venedig die Chance ergriffen hat, aus einem alle zwei Jahre
wiederkehrenden kulturellen Großereignis einen wichtigen
Motor des modernen Lebens in der Lagunenstadt zu machen. Hier galt es wichtige Forschungslücken zu schließen,
aber auch Erkenntnisse verschiedener Disziplinen zusammenzufassen. Es wird deutlich, dass die Flexibilität und

women lived in a religious community. Historian Sharon T.
Strocchia analyzes this stunning growth of female monasticism, revealing the important roles these women and institutions played in the social, economic, and political history of
Renaissance Florence.
Strocchia has mined previously untapped archival materials to uncover how convents shaped one of the principal

textile industry and shows the contributions that ordinary

THE BOOK OF HUMAN SKIN:
Bloomsbury announces the publication of The Book of Human Skin, a new historical novel by Michelle Lovric. Midday, 13th May, 1784: An earthquake in Peru tears up the
white streets of Arequipa. As the dust settles, a young girl
with fanaticism already branded on her face arrives at the
devastated convent of Santa Catalina. At the same moment,
oceans away in Venice, the infant Minguillo Fasan tears his
way out of his mother’s womb. The great Palazzo Espagnol,
built on Peruvian silver and New World drugs, has an heir.
Twelve years later, Venice is in Napoleon’s sights and
Minguillo, who has already contrived to lose one sibling,
is listening to the birth-cries of his new sister Marcella, a
delicate, soft-skinned threat to his inheritance. Meanwhile,
at Santa Catalina, the scarred young girl has become Sor
Loreta, whose craving for sainthood is taking a decidedly
sinister turn.
Minguillo’s livid jealousy will condemn his sister to a
series of fates as a cripple, a madwoman and a nun. But
Marcella Fasan is not quite the soft target Minguillo imagines. Aided by a loyal servant, an irascible portrait-painter,
a young doctor obsessed with skin, a warhorse of a Scottish
merchant and a cigar-smoking pornographer nun, Marcella

heart against Minguillo’s pitiless machinations. Her journey takes her from Napoleon’s shamed Venice to the last
picaresque days of colonial Peru – where the fanatical Sor
Loreta has plans of her own for the young girl from Venice.
The Book of Human Skin is a story of unmitigated villainy,
Holy Anorexia, quack medicine, murder, love and a very
unusual form of bibliomania.

Artists as Agents in Venice: Artistic Exchange and Cultural Translation with the Mamluks, Constantinople, and Moscow, 1400-1500
Tatiana Sizonenko, University of California, San Diego
Artists as Agents outlines a set of theoretical
and historical frameworks for understanding
the nature and dynamics of the interaction of
Venetian visual culture with foreign artistic traditions in the period 1400-1500, particularly in
relation to the issues of cross-cultural dialogue,
the translation and interpretation of foreign
forms in the native artistic tradition. A foundation of this research is a close examination
of artists who traveled and worked at foreign
courts, the Ottoman and Muscovite courts
being primary, in association with diplomatic
missions.
This group includes the painter Gentile
Bellini and the architect Alevisio Lamberti da
Montagnano (better known as Alevyz Novy
from Russia). Their work made an impact othe
developing artistic tradition, particularly the
2WWRPDQSRUWUDLWXUHLQ,VWDQEXODQG0XVFRYLWH
architectural style in Moscow and its provinces, and can be viewed as
key examples of the transmission of Venetian artistic tradition in foreign
lands.
This dissertation also further investigates the impact of Gentile
Bellini’s work and workshop practices on the development of representations of Muslim people in Venetian art upon his return to Venice from
Constantinople. This dissertation analyzes and explores to what extent
experience of travel and work at foreign courts affected the artists’ style
and informed representation of foreigners and foreign lands in the native
artistic tradition.

Il collezionismo poetico: Cardinal Pietro Bembo and the Formation of
Collecting Practices in Venice and Rome in the Early Sixteenth-Century
Susan Nalezyty, Temple University
Cardinal Pietro Bembo (1470-1547) owned
a substantial art collection and library. This
dissertation seeks to explore Bembo as an agent
of cultural exchange through an examination of
the objects he sought, owned, lent and gifted.
Approaching this poet and linguist as a collector provides access to his intellectual activities and considers the role visual art played
in his thinking. A highly visible proponent of
imitation and the vernacular, he once described
antique coins as “images of ancient memory”.
These artifacts embodied meaning, an unmediated dialog with those worthy of emulation.
He installed his collection in a house in the
university town of Padua, a center for cultural
consumption singular for its scholarly ambient.
This casa aperta became a meeting place, an
academic court of sorts, and a valuable resource
for scholars, with special exhibitions even being held for prominent visitors.
Bembo’s letters, which survive in abundance, are crucial to a portrayal of his musaeum because no inventory survives. This
approach has the advantage of contextualizing
their acquisition and display, and thus reveals
that the collection was not static, and nor was
he. Bembo lent works and gifted others. He
installed objects at the family villa outside
Padua, and in the house in town, and he sent for
DUWLIDFWVZKHQKHOLYHGDZD\,QHDFKFDVHKH
sought to create an appropriate space for them,
whether it was a bed canopy for his rooms in
the Vatican, a statue of Priapus for his garden
at the villa, or frescoes by Giovanni da Udine
in the townhouse. These previously unknown
items no longer survive, but their recovery
places them and Bembo against a background
as varied and as rich as his career, thus illustrating that his wide-ranging ambitions were
intimately intertwined. Whereas the works of
SUHYLRXVVFKRODUVKDYHLGHQWLÀHGFRPSRQHQWV
of Bembo’s holdings, each starting and ending
with Michiel’s well-known passage, none have
approached the collection as evidence for an
intersection of familial legacy and cultural
UHSRVLWRU\DV,SURSRVHWRGR
Here the art object is a means by which the
social and political motivations for ownership are considered via the material setting for
display. The Renaissance interior is a unifying
IUDPHZRUNIRUVWXG\LQJQRWRQO\ÀQHDUWVEXW
also for considering objects typically overlooked: those that no longer survive or those
that are categorized as decorative arts, which
often fall out of the scope of traditional art historical inquiry. The methodology and debates
of studying collections have been eloquently
outlined in the work of Paula Findlen and
Richard Goldthwaite, who explore the complex
relationship between the urge to own material
remains and the desire to possess the immaterial knowledge they contain.
Challenging many assumptions about
decorative strategies in the Renaissance, this
study combines primary research with a new
approach to the complex heritage of humanism.
This dissertation offers a catalog of Bembo’s
objects and explores the theoretical implications of those works, which have foundations
in the classical, but also look forward to the
goals and motivations of the next century’s
collectors. A study of the mobility of Bembo’s
material goods highlights the cyclical nature of
ownership. These objects were re-purposed,
and thus do not illustrate a single moment in
the historical record, but rather are sites for
the re-working of ideas. The careful selection,
acquisition and display of objects from the
past connects cultural consumption to history
writing, a task Bembo took up for the Republic
late in life. Thus a consideration of Bembo’s
collecting of material culture accesses his
thinking. He is thus revealed as a mediator of
the distinctive changes we connect to Renaissance culture.
A realist, in Venice, would become a romantic
by mere faithfulness to what he saw before him.

Art patronage of condottieri families in the Veneto 1455-1571: The Colleoni, Martinengo and
Savorgnan
Rebecca Norris, University of Cambridge
My doctoral thesis entitled Art patronage of
condottieri families in the Veneto 1455-1571:
The Colleoni, Martinengo and Savorgnan focuses on these three noble families based in the
western- and eastern-most regions of the Venetian terraferma. Their cities - Bergamo, Brescia and Udine, respectively - were commercial
centres along borders that played a crucial role
in the Republic’s defence against outside forces
including the Milanese, Austrian, Hungarian
and Turkish threats. The strong, independent
character of these outer-lying regions is clear in
their political relationship with Venice, which
offered these families concessions in exchange
for their service to the Republic. Their power
lay in the shifting loyalties of their volatile
regions. Playing a central role in the defence of
Venice and its mainland holdings, these nobles
supplied the necessary infantry captains and
condottieri. They were an exclusive, clannish
group with blood ties, military service and a
tendency to intermarry. The captains passed
their regiments onto their families retaining a
monopoly of increasingly professional military
men. Members of this elite group, the Colleoni,
Martinengo and Savorgnan, maintained strong
connections with Venice and moved among

Francesco Maria della Rovere, and Marino
Sanuto, among others, even becoming members
of the Venetian patriciate themselves.
The aim of this research is to consider the
visual arts contributions of these powerful,

status as condottieri with connections among a
broader social network throughout the Veneto.
This investigation will be a systematic case

scholars to venture just beyond the
lagoons, in 2006 Michael Alexander
contributed an essay to this newsletter
extolling the virtues of Padua. This
article seeks to explain the archival,
artistic, and culinary treasures awaiting late medieval and early modern
scholars at the far end of the terraferma, in the city of Bergamo.
Routinely overlooked by scholars
and tourists alike, Bergamo nevertheless boasts a superb library, several
important archives, a beautifully-preserved historical center, and an array
of excellent restaurants that go far
beyond polenta taragna. The city is
located about 210 kilometers (130
miles) west of Venice, at the foot of
the Orobian Alps. For those with a
car, the A4 passes just south of the city;

Bergamo is really two cities in one.

and industrial growth that spurred Bergamo in the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries. Regular bus service, as well
as a funicular railway, connect the two
halves of the city. The Serenissima,
which ruled Bergamo from 1428-1797,
recognized the value of Bergamo as a
military outpost against the Milanese
and as a way station on important trade
routes to Switzerland. The stereotype
of Bergamo and its residents as illiterate hillbillies and hardscrabble farmers
has recently been challenged on a
number of fronts, as Anglo-American

showcase some of this recent research.
The crown jewel of Bergamo for
scholars is surely the Biblioteca Civica
‘Angelo Mai.’ Housed in a stunning
seventeenth-century palazzo in the
heart of the upper city, it was initially
the Town Hall but since 1768 has
served as a public library and comPXQDODUFKLYH,QDGGLWLRQWR

in the Biblioteca Civica, two of the

Bergamo (Archivio del Comune), and
of the powerful confraternity known as
WKH0,$$UFKLYLRGHOOD0LVHULFRUGLD
Maggiore). The latter in particular
has been the source of numerous dissertations and books in medieval and
early modern history, art history, music
history, and archival studies. The
collections about the poet Torquato
Tasso, and the composers Gaetano
Donizetti and Simone Mayr, are
equally important for literary scholars
and musicologists respectively. The
library staff is friendly, professional,
and well-trained; free wireless access
is available to anyone working in the
library; and the library catalogues and
indexes are up-to-date.
Across the Piazza Vecchia is the
Archivio Storico Diocesano (formerly the Archivio della Curia), which
houses 700 linear meters of episcopal
and Church documents in the bishop’s
palace. The oldest parchments date to
the thirteenth century, but the strength
of the collection is in the series of
pastoral visitations, synodal records,
cathedral chapter documents, and so
forth from the early sixteenth century
onward. The diocesan archive contains several smaller archives within
it (e.g., Archivio Mensa Vescovile,
Archivio Tribunale Ecclesiastico,
Archivio Capitolare). This diocesan
archive has been slow to digitize its
indices and collections but a new
website and additional support from
WKH&RXQFLORI,WDOLDQ%LVKRSVVXJgests that soon many parts of the
collection will be available virtually.
Massimo Firpo’s two recent studies
of Bergamo’s heretical bishop Vittore
Soranzo (1547-1558) demonstrate
how much can still be gleaned from
these archives, as do half a dozen other
publications in 2008-09 noted on the
archive’s website.

of other museums, churches, and
institutes which may interest scholars. The diocesan seminary, named
after Bergamo’s hometown pope
-RKQ;;,,,KDVRQO\DVPDOODUFKLYH
but the seminary library has 170,000
published volumes and is particularly
strong for ecclesiastical sources. The
Museo Storico (formerly Museo del
Risorgimento) is located in the Rocca,
the historic fortress that commands one
end of the city, while the museum’s liEUDU\DQGRIÀFHVDUHLQWKHH[FRQYHQW
of S. Francesco nearby. The Museo
Donizettiano commemorates the life
DQGZRUNVRIWKHSUROLÀFFRPSRVHU
Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848) and
includes a small library and archive
with autograph musical scores, libretti,
and correspondence. There is also an
Archeological Museum and a Museum
of Natural History, both in Piazza
della Cittadella, the traditional military
stronghold of the city and still today
the home of the carabinieri.
No scholar can live on books alone;
fortunately Bergamo’s upper city
offers a number of culinary options,
all within a three-minute walk of the
Piazza Vecchia. For a mid-morning
cappuccino, the elegant Pasticceria
Cavour or the equally lovely and

twenty steps from the civic library. A
massive plate-glass window allows
you to consider the many choices of
pizza, calzone, focaccia farcita, or
plain bread, which can be consumed
on premises or (better yet) as a picnic
in the Piazza Vecchia. The salumeria/
gastronomia Mangili, just below the
civic library, offers a delicious torta

meats and cheese as well as the best
selection of local wines like ValCaOHSLRRU)UDQFLDFRUWD,I\RXZDQWWR
sit down for a quick meal, two birrerie
and a tavola calda are within a stone’s
throw of the Piazza Vecchia. For a
more formal meal, Trattoria Tre Torri
offers a superb veal shin or ossobuco
in an intimate surrounding of rounded
brick walls, while the Trattoria Ornella
is famous for its casoncelli (a Bergamasque version of ravioli stuffed
with pork, breadcrumbs, and parmesan,
twisted in a spiral and served with
butter and sage); both trattorias are
located less than one hundred meters
from the Piazza Vecchia on the way to
the funicular station. At least ten more
restaurants are located on the main
(read: only) street of the Città Alta, so
one will never lack for easy access to
a meal.
The lower city includes the Archivio di Stato, which for many years
was located in the monastery of S.
Spirito but as of January 2010 will
be in a new building in via Fratelli
Bronzetti. Due to the fact that this
state archive was opened only in
1959, much of the material that one
PLJKWH[SHFWWRÀQGKDVLQVWHDGEHHQ
deposited in Milan’s Archivio di Stato
or in Bergamo’s Biblioteca Civica.
Nevertheless, Bergamo’s state archive
still contains a massive collection of
14,000 notarial cartularies dating from
1245 to 1902, as well as a few private
family archives and many administrative documents from the modern

archives in the lower city, those of S.
Alessandro in Colonna and S. Alessandro della Croce, which were small but
offered a window into neighborhood
activities and day-to-day life of their
respective parishes. The Accademia
Carrara, in Piazza dell’Accademia just
three minutes’ walk below the gate of
S. Agostino, is currently closed for a
building restoration, but it features one

Bellini, Donatello, Mantegna, Fra Angelico, Lotto, and many others.
While it is certainly possible to do
a day trip to Bergamo from Venice,
several options are available for those
staying overnight. There are plenty of
XSVFDOHKRWHOVLQWKHORZHUFLW\EXW,
focus on places in the historic center,
which is far more charming. The best
value are the bed-and-breakfasts in the
Città Alta, which can include selfcatering apartments or private rooms
in an independent house. Appartamenti Eulalia e Nastasia features three
beautiful apartments in Via Colleoni
that can sleep 2-6 persons; the owner
will transport you to and from the train
station or assist with a parking permit.
The B&B Entro le Mura offers two
private rooms with access to a garden,
while the B&B Al Vicolo has several
rooms next to the church of S. Andrea and the historic via Porta Dipinta. Casa Gandini offers a two-room
apartment with kitchen and splendid
view from the terrace for a two-night
minimum stay. Two traditional hotels
have long served the upper city: the Albergo Sole faces onto Piazza Vecchia
and is in the center of the action, with
a downstairs restaurant. The Agnello
D’Oro, also in the heart of the upper
city, features a traditional restaurant
with copper pots hanging from the
ceiling, but the twenty bedrooms can
be tiny. Two new hotels are lovely,
more pricey, and still in the middle of

an element of artistic life particularly relevant
to 16th century Venice. The careers of Titian,
Tintoretto and Veronese overlapped for almost
forty years and inevitably these artists, together
with many others, competed for commissions
and prizes in their home city, one of the richest
in Europe at that time, thereby creating an innovative and fertile artistic milieu. The recent
exhibition in Boston and Paris, organised by the
0XVHXPRI)LQH$UWV%RVWRQDQGWKH0XVpH
du Louvre, Paris, aimed to bring to the fore this
aspect of 16th century Venetian life. Within
this concept of rivalry between ‘the big three’
of 16th century Venetian painting, the catalogue essays discuss the social, political, and
HFRQRPLFFRQWH[WZLWKLQZKLFKLWÁRXULVKHG

colouring and often sensual subject manner.
)UHGHULFN,OFKPDQWKHH[KLELWLRQFXUDtor, considers the art of Titian, Tintoretto and
Veronese to be ‘one of response, critique and
emulation’. Even though Titian as the oldest
of the three, born thirty years before Tintoretto
and forty years before Veronese was clearly
LQÁXHQWLDORQKLV\RXQJHUFROOHDJXHV,OFKman considers that Titian’s later career was

EULHÁ\DSSUHQWLFHGWR7LWLDQEXWOHIWTXLFNO\
possibly due to Titian’s jealousy or the fact that
he was a poor mentor to his pupils. A strong
antipathy seems to have developed between
the two artists with attempts to outdo each
other. Veronese, moving from Verona to Venice
permanently in the 1550s, may have been put
forward by Titian or possibly used by him to

us that Titian and Jacopo Sansovino were the
judges. Tintoretto, although not alone in this,
was frequently known to offer to work free or
at a cut price to promote his work. A famous
example of his aggressive tactics is his behaviour at the competition to paint the ceiling of
the Sala dell’Albergo in the Scuola Grande di
San Rocco. Tintoretto had managed to get access to the building and had already painted a
picture on the ceiling instead of submitting the
required drawing.

to be suave and diplomatic, Tintoretto more
aggressive and thrusting, whilst Veronese, who
appears to have had a more diplomatic disposition, apparently moved comfortably amongst
the nobility.

theme, the transformation of Venetian painting
around 1500, highlights the main two changes
as being the increasing use of canvas and oil
as opposed to wooden panels and egg tempera.
This facilitated softer contours, complex paint
layers, the opportunity for expressive brushwork, new approaches to the depiction of light
and atmosphere and the development of subjects such as landscape, portraits and the erotic

works for their beauty alone. Titian, initially
trained in Giovanni Bellini’s workshop, is seen
DVWKHNH\ÀJXUHLQWDNLQJWKHVHGHYHORSPHQWV
to new heights. Titian’s dominance of Venetian
art went unchallenged after Bellini’s death in
1516 and it wasn’t until 1548 that the thirty
year old Jacopo Tintoretto came to the fore
ZLWKKLV¶0LUDFOHRIWKH6ODYH·,QWKHV
with Titian occupied with work for clients
outside of Venice, the situation was ripe for a
new challenger to Tintoretto in Veronese. With
the sense of decorum and repose in his works
he became a foil to Tintoretto’s more unsettled
and restless nature.
The comparison of sacred works shows all
three artists occupied with altar-piece composition with Veronese developing a particular
reputation for painting Biblical feast scenes
for refectories in monastries. The challenge to
demonstrate virtuoso effects such as depicting
DUPRXUDQGRWKHUUHÁHFWLYHVXUIDFHVSURYLGHG
the artists with the opportunity to show their
SURZHVV7KHGHSLFWLRQRIVRIWÁHVKXVLQJWKH
possibilities of oil paints became another opportunity to demonstrate skill and talent.
The catalogue deals in depth with the styles
of portraiture of the three artists charting the
development from a frequently stiff portrayal
RIKHDGDQGVKRXOGHUVRIWHQLQSURÀOHFRPmon in 15th century Venice, to the more direct
gaze of the sitter leading to a sense of connection with the viewer and to beautifully painted
still-life details. The reputation of Titian in this
area spread across Europe and his successful
approach made him a key person to emulate.
Both Tintoretto and Veronese followed in his
style. That Tintoretto should have taken such a
step is indicative of his acknowledgement that
in this area Titian was the one to follow rather
than compete with if fame and fortune were to
be gained. Veronese is known to have painted
Titian’s portrait (now lost) suggesting a close
relationship between the two.
The Appendices provide much interesting
information. A history of the collecting of
Venetian painting in Boston is followed by a
chronology placing the lives of the three artists
in the context of historical events and with reference to each other. The select bibliography
gives the books most referenced here and those
which are considered to be most important for
a general knowledge of Venetian renaissance
painting. All the catalogue entries are illustrated full page size and in colour and the text is
accompanied by over a hundred other illustrations also in colour. For an in-depth approach
to the often complex Venetian art world of the
time this is an excellent volume dealing with
the issues in a clear but never simplistic way.
