What happens in Florence... Valtieri’s Bride
This book aims to understand the different readings of Castiglione's Cortegiano or Book of the Courtier from the Renaissance to the twentieth century.
Valtieri's Bride - Caroline Anderson Swapping chef's whites for ivory silk, Lydia Fletcher's competing in a contest to win her beloved sister her dream wedding. But a chance meeting with the gorgeous but guarded widower Massimo Valtieri is something the contest's small print failed to mention!

But with the heat between them rising fast, her sister's wedding might not be the only one Lydia has to plan! Lorenzo's Reward - Catherine George What did handsome Italian businessman Lorenzo Forli mean when he said that Jess would be his 'reward'? When Lorenzo proposed, Jess thought she understood: to make her his wife was what he ultimately wanted. But there was a shock in store! Lorenzo had failed to tell Jess something about his past. Could it be that he'd used all the means he possessed to claim the reward he'd really wanted - to seduce Jess into his bed? The Secret That Changed Everything - Lucy Gordon Tired of being in the shadow of her sisters, Charlotte Patterson decided to leave Manhattan behind and discover just what Italy's la dolce vita had to offer - good food, fine wine...and delicious men? But even Charlotte's Roman holiday can't help her escape a devastating family secret and she finds herself seeking solace in the arms of Lucio Constello. Unable to deny their attraction, they share one intensely passionate night together - a night that will affect them more than they could possibly imagine...
This book offers a new view of Italian Renaissance intellectual life, linking philosophy and literature as expressed in both Latin and Italian.
In Drawing and Painting in the Italian Renaissance Workshop, Carmen Bambach reassesses the role of artists and their assistants in the creation of monumental painting. Analyzing representative wall paintings and the many drawings related to the various stages of their production, Bambach convincingly reconstructs the development of workshop practice and design theory in the early modern period. Her exhaustive analysis of archaeological and textual evidence provides a timely and much-needed reassessment of the working methods of artists in one of the most vital periods in the history of art.
"The Fat Woodworker" is a delightful story in the tradition of the Italian Renaissance "beffe," stories of practical, often cruel jokes. It is the tale of a prank engineered by the great Renaissance architect, Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1446), played upon an unsuspecting (and perhaps less-than-brilliant) friend and woodworker named Manetto, in reprisal for the woodworker's social slight. While the prank is indeed cruel, it is so ingenious, and the victim is so comical, that the reader soon forgets the architect's - and the author's - malice and settles in for a delightful turn as part of the unfolding conspiracy set in motion by Brunelleschi's circle of friends. The tale brings the reader into the social world of Florence's craft- and tradespeople, its lawyers and judges, artists, architects and intellectuals and gives a vibrant sense of the city's close-knit social fabric, its packed streets and busy shops and offices. It is as much a portrait of the Renaissance city as of one very befuddled and delightful woodworker. Robert and Valerie Martone provide a solid contemporary translation that carries across the ironic distance of the original. They include an introduction to the story, its author and genre, and to the social and intellectual world of Brunelleschi and Renaissance Florence. Illustrated, introduction, bibliography. Fiction
