The Renaissance of Grottoes. Nature, Art and Architecture in 16th-Century Italy and France, edited by Emanuela Ferretti, Marco Mozzo, Sabine Frommel, Alessandra Giannotti 

The 2019 issue of Opus Incertum brings together the papers presented at the conference that was held on 22 February 2018, with a fruitful exchange between Italian and French scholars. The issue is also open to new contributions, bearing in mind the chronological framework (1530-1630) and the main geographical focus, Italy and France, with inroads into the German world. The epistemological perspective adopted is a highly interdisciplinary one: it ranges from architecture to sculpture, from the decorative arts to iconology, and from compositional aspects to building techniques.
