The titles bestowed on Giangaleazzo by Wenceslas, king of the Romans, in 1395 and 1396 had raised Milan initially, and then the other Vis- 2 conti territories in Lombardy, to the status of duchy . Giangaleazzo himself al- luded to his cities collectively as such: in the testament of 1397, produced in the first flush of his acquisition of the second diploma, he appointed his son Giovanni Maria heir to two areas – «the duchy, or rather the city and diocese of Milan», and «the duchy of the cities of Brescia, Cremona, Bergamo, Como, Lodi, Piacenza, 3 Parma, Reggio and Bobbio» . The duke would surely have been disappointed that his greatest achievement was not recognized on Bueno de Mesquita’s map. And yet the author’s terminology was more realistic than Giangaleazzo’s: it would take more than a dazzling diploma to create a new territory with a name and a rec- ognized identity.

  • 'Sforziada' Frontispieces of Giovan Pietro Birago
    NEW LIGHT ON THE 'SFORZIADA' FRONTISPIECES OF GIOVAN PIETRO BIRAGO M. L. EVANS D. H. TURNER'S interest in the Milanese miniaturist Giovan Pietro Birago dated from his cataloguing ofthe detached full-page miniature ofthe Adoration ofthe Magi from the renowned Sforza Hours, which entered the British Museum in 1941, published in the Gatalogue of Addittons to the Manuscripts igj6-Tg4§.'^ Many years later. Turner selected both the Sforza Hours and the Grenville Library Sforziada, with its frontispiece by Birago, for the exhibition 'Renaissance Painting in Manuscripts' held in 1983-4.^ During the run of this exhibition a previously unknown calendar leaf from the Sforza Hours was brought to the attention of British Library staff and was purchased by the Department of Manuscripts.^ Turner encouraged the publication of the calendar leaf by the present writer in a recent issue of The British Library Journal (vol. xii (1986), pp. 21-7). He was also instrumental in the preparation of this essay on the Sforziada although, sadly, he did not live to see it completed. Since his emancipation from the name of convenience ^Master ofthe Sforza Hours*, by which he was known prior to 1956, Giovan Pietro Birago has emerged as a leading figure in the last great era of Milanese manuscript illumination.''^Outstanding amongst the series of commissions which Birago executed for members of the Sforza dynasty during the last decade ofthe fifteenth century are three illuminated frontispieces^ in de luxe copies ofthe printed edition of Giovanni Simonetta's life of Francesco Sforza, known as the Sforziada (British Library, London, Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris and Biblioteka Narodowa, Warsaw) (pl.

  • La Cultura Figurativa a Pavia Nell'età Di Leonardo E Le Raccolte Civiche
    Da Foppa a Giampietrino: LEONARDESCHI dipinti dal Museo Statale Ermitage di San Pietroburgo e dai Musei Civici di Pavia Pavia, Castello Visconteo 20 marzo - 10 luglio 2011 LA CULTURA FIGURATIVA A PAVIA NELL’ETÀ DI LEONARDO E LE RACCOLTE CIVICHE di Susanna Zatti Nella primavera del 1952 il Castello visconteo di Pavia aveva ospitato la mostra Arte e ambiente pavese al tempo di Leonardo, organizzata dal Comitato nazionale di onoranze a Leonardo nel V centenario della nascita. Erano stati allora esposti vari materiali d’arte provenienti da collezioni pubbliche e private, tra cui ceramiche, sculture, manoscritti, disegni, smalti, miniature. Un particolare rilievo era destinato ai dipinti di artisti dell’età e della cerchia del sommo maestro - tavole e pale di V.Foppa, A.Bergognone, Giampietrino, B.Luini, A.Solario, B.Lanzani, B.De Conti - richiesti in prestito dalla Pinacoteca di Brera di Milano, dai Musei di Brescia, dalla Certosa e da chiese pavesi, oltre che provenienti dalle raccolte dei Musei Civici. La mostra odierna restringe il campo alla pittura e focalizza l’interesse sulle opere di quegli artisti che nelle collezioni russe dell’Ermitage sono qualifi cati come “leonardeschi” e affi anca a loro, mettendoli in confronto e a colloquio, sia tavole e tele di quei medesimi autori possedute dai Musei pavesi, sia altri dipinti pervenuti alle collezioni civiche nel corso del XIX secolo con attribuzione a Leonardo e alla sua maniera, vuoi per la cifra stilistica, vuoi per l’iconografi a: dipinti che sono stati poi confermati dagli studi più recenti quali pertinenti a quella felice e feconda temperie culturale che caratterizzò, nella seconda metà del Quattrocento e nei primi decenni del Cinquecento, il territorio del Ducato visconteo-sforzesco (e si ricordi che Pavia era il secondo centro per importanza).
