Leonardo Benevolo – författare

This volume forms part of the 2 volume facimile Architecture of the Renaissance. This set considers the effect of the new artistic culture on the changes that took place in the fifteenth century Italian cities and then throughout Europe.

This is a history of the European city from the early Middle Ages to the present. Tracing the city from the survival of urban life after the collapse of the Roman Empire to the effects of modern industrialization and transportation, Professor Benevolo's book also provides a fascinating account of the relationship between urban life and cultural and intellectual life.

This is the second volume of the first English translation of Benevolo's well-known history of European architecture and urban planning between the middle of the fifteenth century and the early years of the eighteenth century, based on the revised second Italian edition of 1973.
