Book Description
How art has evolved from the Soviet era through modern Russia. The Way of Enthusiasts is a translation of the name of the Moscow landmark Shosse Entuziastov, an avenue that connects the city center to the residential districts. The romantic and impassioned foundations that were laid under this name in the 1920s-as well as the urban environment it designated-gradually changed as the Soviet social project evolved. The book features spatial commentaries by Russian artists over the last few decades and uses urban and architectural material as a parallel narrative to contextualize and depict the patterns underlying artistic practices since the shift from the Soviet era to a post-ideological society.

Book Description
Questo volume documenta la genesi e l'evoluzione di Interior Landscape, un progetto concepito per gli spazi contemporanei e gli interni della collezione museale del palazzo storico della famiglia Querini Stampalia a Venezia. L'opera di Mona Hatoum si rivolge alla nozione di dislocamento, di incertezza e conflitto. Attraverso l'uso di oggetti familiari e di vita domestica trasformati in sculture estranee e misteriose, sovvertendone le forme in messaggi cifrati di ambiguità e minaccia, l'artista crea un territorio che non è più spazio rassicurante e protettivo.

Book Description
This book explores the history of Venice, a State unparalleled in Europe for permanence and stability. For centuries Venice occupied that position of maritime supremacy now held by Great Britain, and time was when an English king was fain to crave the loan of a few warships to vindicate his rights in France. The autonomy of the Venetian Republic was so imposed on men's minds that it was regarded as in the very nature of things, and even so acute an observer as Voltaire wrote in the Dictionnaire Philosophique, less than three decades before her fall: "Venice has preserved her independence during eleven centuries, and I flatter myself will preserve it forever." In this book, the author has freely drawn from the old chronicles, while not neglecting modern historians, the chiefest of whom is the Triestine Hebrew scholar, Samuele Romanin...For purposes of description in this book, the author divided the city and outlying islands of the Venetian lagoon into twenty sections, arranged rather concerning their relative historical and artistic importance than to strict topographical considerations, although these have not been lost sight of.

Book Description
Aldo Rossi was a practicing architect and leader of the Italian architectural movement La Tendenza and one of the most influential theorists of the twentieth century. The Architecture of the City is his major work of architectural and urban theory. In part a protest against functionalism and the Modern Movement, in part an attempt to restore the craft of architecture to its position as the only valid object of architectural study, and in part an analysis of the rules and forms of the city's construction, the book has become immensely popular among architects and design students.

Book Description
Tuscany is a landscape whose cultural construction is complicated and multi-layered. It is this very complexity that this book seeks to untangle. By revealing hidden histories, we learn how food, landscape and architecture are intertwined, as well as the extent to which Italian design and contemporary consumption patterns form a legacy that draws upon the Romantic longings of a century before. In the process, this book reveals the extent to which Tuscany has been constructed by Anglos — and what has been distorted, idealized and even overlooked in the process.

Book Description
During the 17th and 18th century musicians' mobilities and migrations are essential for the European music history and the cultural exchange of music. Adopting viewpoints that reflect different methodological approaches and diversified research cultures, the book presents studies on central scopes, strategies and artistic outcomes of mobile and migratory musicians as well as on the transfer of music. By looking at elite and non-elite musicians and their everyday mobilities to major and minor centers of music production and practice, new biographical patterns and new stylistic paradigms in the European East, West and South emerge.
