Founded from the lagoon settlements of refugees from the Veneto and Friuli ﬂeeing from the barbarian raids of the early Middle Ages, protected toward the mainland by the impenetrable lagoon, open to the sea to favor the development of trade with the Orient, Venice dominated the Mediterranean for at least 500 years, from the 1300s to the 1700s.
This book by Pedrocco, a renowned specialist on Venetian art and director of the Museo del Settecento in Venice, examines the golden centuries of Venetian painting: it starts with Paolo Veneziano, who developed a style of painting balanced between the Byzantine tradition and the Gothic language that held sway in Europe; then continues with Bellini, Giorgione, Titian and the masters who spread the language of the Venetian school to the European courts; and concludes in the Settecento, at the height of the wealth and glory of the Serenissima, with Tiepolo, Longhi and the Vedutists.
The text is accompanied by ﬁne illustrations showing the works held in
Venetian museums, churches and palaces, without overlooking the paintings that have migrated, over time, to foreign museums.

Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665) is one of the artists most thoroughly studied in the history of painting. His bibliography is boundless, and his work – held in museums and private collections all over the world – requires the kind of updated documentation no one could have accomplished better than Pierre Rosenberg. Author of the Catalogue raisonné of the drawings of Poussin in 1997, and a former director of the Louvre – the museum that holds the world’s largest collection of Poussin’s works – he has studied this painter for years, and recently curated an exhibition of great international impact (Bilbao, New York 2007/2008).
The project by Electa calls for a classic structure, with an introductory essay and the catalogue of 250 works, accompanied by historical-critical proﬁles, preparatory drawings and comparisons.
Appendices include the catalogue of the lost works, the rejected works, the bibliography and indices.

On the 24th August 79 A.D. Pompeii perished. On that day Vesuvius erupted an enormous quantity of lapilli, lava and poisonous gas, which destroyed the city forever, together with its neighbours: Herculaneum, Stabiae and Oplontis.
The eruption suddenly covered the whole city – houses and monuments, streets, civil and religious buildings, - and its people with lava and ash, suddlenly stopping life but also conserving everything as it was. This unique situation makes it possibile today to study how daily life used to be in Pompeii. The authors explain in this book not only how the city of Pompeii looked like in Antiquity, but they also reconstruct all different aspects of life of pompeian people – private life, social habits, economic rules, politics, religious beliefs – through the observation of archaeological ﬁnds, material culture, architectural traces and art. The structure they chose for the book is not the traditional topographical one, but a trasversal, thematic one.
The iconography of the archeological site is completed by plans of the main monuments and the paintings, mosaics and scultpures of the Archaeological Museum of Naples.

Eva Canterella is Professor of Institutions of Roman Law at the University of Milan.

Among her most recent publications: I supplizi capitali: origini e funzioni della pena di morte in Grecia e a Roma (1996), Secondo natura: la bisessualità nel mondo antico (1997), Passato prossimo. Donne romane da Tacita a Sulpicia (1997), Pompei, i volti dell’amore (1999), Itaca. Eroi, donne, potere tra vendetta e diritto (2002).
