Guido has been a consummate mentor and friend whose groundbreaking work on gender and crime has paved the way for a generation of younger scholars like me. I have been lucky to have his constant support, guidance, and friendship . Teachers at many institutions shared their enthusiasm and passion for literature, history, and ideas with me. At the University of Connecticut, I want to thank Joseph Cary, Jack Davis, and the late Robert S. Dombroski for their friendship and for providing ongoing encourage­ ment, advice, and rigorous critical assistance through the years. My undergraduate advisor Robert Dombroski was a model mentor, teacher, and friend whose critical acumen, deep political commitment, and sense ofhumor made him a rare and special person. He was, without question, il miglior fabbro. Teachers in far-flung places like Naugatuck, Connecticut, especially Patricia Pawlak and Mary Eileen Galliette, stim­ ulated my curiosity at a young age and laid the foundations for my passion for literature and languages. This book draws on research from my dissertation . My dissertation adviser Louise George Clubb gave me the freedom and courage to work on Cellini, considered a major artist but minor writer. I want to thank her for her unwavering support, encouragement, and critical acumen . She has been a model mentor, scholar, and friend whose pioneering work in the Renaissance continues to serve as a model for me to follow and emulate. Randolph Starn challenged the limits of my theoretical boundaries and helped me to conceptualize a crucial aspect of my project when it was just an intuitive thought of mine that legal matters provided a grid through which writers like Cellini viewed their world. Randy has provided unwavering support and encouragement at every stage and has become a cherished friend. Gavriel Moses provided unstinting encouragement and acute critical judgments at the earliest x I ACKNOWLEDGMENTS stages of my work. The University of California at Berkeley offered financial support and an unrivaled community ofscholars and friends. Research for this book has been supported by grants and fellowships from the Fulbright Commission, the National Endowment for the Humanities, which sponsored my participation at the Newberry Library Summer Institute in the Italian Archival Sciences in 1993, the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation, and the Renaissance Society of America. New York University hosted me as a Visiting Scholar in 1997; a special thanks to Francesco Erspamer who organized my stay there. I also wish to express my gratitude to the directors and personnel of the Archivio di Stato, Florence, the Archivio della Confraternita dei Buonuomini di San Martino, Florence, the Biblioteca Riccardiana, Florence, the Biblioteca Moreniana, Florence, the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, Florence, the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Florence, the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, Venice, as well as the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York, the Houghton Library at Harvard University, the Newberry Library, the Bobst Library at New York University, Butler Library at Columbia University, and the Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Columbia University without whose collective resources and assistance this book could not have been written. To the staff ofall these organizations and institutions I am deeply grateful. In particular, I want to thank Dottoressa Anna Lenzuni at the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, Florence, for allowing me to study the part-autograph manuscript of Cellini's Vita, Dr. Alberto Brini ofthe Confraternity of the Buonuomini di San Martino, Florence, Dr. Carlo Picchietti of the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Florence, and Dottoressa Paola Benigni of the Soprintendenza Archivistica per la Toscana for permission to consult documents and manuscripts. Thanks are due to Robert Dunkin at Art Resource, Mary Corliss at The Museum of Modern Art Film Stills Archive, the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale in Florence, and the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York for granting permissions to reproduce texts or images from their collections. Friends and fellow scholars read and commented orr various portions of the manuscript, including James Amelang, Albert Russell Ascoli, Marvin Becker, John Brackett, Ross Chambers, Timothy Hampton, Dennis Looney, Ronald Martinez, Michael Rocke, Guido Ruggiero, Peter Sahlins, James Saslow, Randolph Starn, and Ruggero Stefanini. Franca Petrucci Nardelli and Armando Petrucci helped me with the transcriptions and continue to provide friendship, encouragement, and critical judgments about matters paleographic and codicologic. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS / XI Laura Giannetti Ruggiero helped me with the English translations. Any errors, however, remain my own. To all of them I am deeply indebted. Gloria Allaire acted informally as my copy editor when this project was merely an unruly dissertation and has provided friendship and encouragement at every stage since we met as fellow Fulbrighters in 1990. Gloria is my model of rigorous scholarship and genuine friend­ ship. To her, a special and deep thanks. I want to thank members of my extended family, especially Amelia Viola Callucci-Cirio, who contributed toward the completion of this project in ways too complex to enumerate. I also want to remember the late Joseph L. Gallucci, the late Margaret T. O'Connor, and the late Aldo Cirio who helped along the way in more ways than they know but who did not live to see the completion of this project. Kristi Long, my editor at Palgrave, was a joy to work with. All ofthe staff at Palgrave, especially her assistant Roee Raz, was knowledgeable and helpful at every stage. A very special thank you is owed to David Finn who generously provided his beautiful and incomparable photographs ofCellini's art for half of the illustrations that appear in this book as well as the jacket design. I am grateful to him and to his wonderful assistant Rosie Lue for helping make my book so much better than it was. Without the support of Michael Rotondi the years I spent working on this project would have been much lesssuccessful and happy. My family-parents, sisters Carole and Mary, brother Joe-provided a lifetime of support of every kind. My parents, Charlotte O'Connor Gallucci and Donald Thomas Gallucci, both public schoolteachers, set the example of teaching as a vocation and a passion, and for this and so many other things I am deeply indebted. Among those so many other things, my parents taught me intellectual curiosity, a passion for living abroad among strangers, and a love of reading. As a wholly inadequate gesture ofmy appreciation for their ongoing love, constant support, and intellectual guidance, I dedicate this book to them.

  • Illustrations for Dante's Inferno
    Cultural and Religious Studies, August 2016, Vol. 4, No. 8, 488-520 doi: 10.17265/2328-2177/2016.08.002 D DAVID PUBLISHING Illustrations for Dante’s Inferno: A Comparative Study of Sandro Botticelli, Giovanni Stradano, and Federico Zuccaro Liana De Girolami Cheney SIEALE, Universidad de Coruña, Spain This essay is twofold: the first part focuses on the interpretation of the concept of Hell in Dante’s Inferno and Italian culture as depicted in Last Judgment scenes such as Giotto’s in the Arena Chapel of Padua; Signorelli’s in the Orvieto Cathedral; and Michelangelo’s in the Sistine Chapel in Rome. The second part deals with the drawing illustrations for the text of Dante’s Divine Comedy composed by the Florentine painters Sandro Botticelli, Giovanni Stradano, and Federico Zuccaro. Here the emphasis is on Dante’s Inferno, which comments upon Neoplatonic personalities, Florentine politics, and current popular art. Comparisons with some of Botticelli’s, Stradano’s, and Zuccaro’s drawing illustrations indicate the assimilation of classical artistic concepts such as Horace’s ut pictura poesis [as is painting so is poetry] as well as Plato’s furor poeticus [poetical inspiration] promoted in the writings of Marsilio Ficino, a Renaissance Neoplatonic philosopher. Keywords: Dante, Divine Comedy, canto (chant), Hell, creativity, poetry, drawings, Botticelli, Stradano, Zuccaro, Neoplatonism, ut pictura poesis, furor poeticus, Marsilio Ficino Introduction Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita mi ritrovai per un a selva oscura che la diritta via era smarrita. [In the middle of the journey of our life I found myself astray in a dark forest Where the straight road was gone.] Dante’s Inferno, Canto I The Divine Comedy or poema sacro [sacred poem], the masterpiece of the Florentine poet Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), is the most widely illuminated book of medieval literature.

    TUSCANY TRAVELS THROUGH ART Searching for brilliance in the footsteps of scientists, important historical figures, poets and musicians tuscany TRAVELS THROUGH ART Searching for brilliance in the footsteps of scientists, important historical figures, poets and musicians The first guide that leads to the discovery of poets, and musicians, scientists and religious figures, politicians and revolutionaries, great historical figures who, over the centuries, have made their home in Tuscany, and who have left an indel- ible mark of their presence in the region, making it famous worldwide. Page after page give visitors on the road an opportunity to discover a different Tuscany through the lives and achievements, the inventions, the words and mu- sic of these geniuses; new routes are revealed across cities and borghi, famous sites and hidden corners. A fresh interpretation of the area for locals too, to find out more about the great people of the past whose names now identify our squares and streets. Tuscany is a region that has always been a source of inspiration to great men and women: through their biographies, the places where they worked and lived, accompanied by a wealth of images, we find, in this travel guide, a new way to perceive the true soul of this extraordinary land that continues, century after century, to attract visitors from across the world. SOME PLACES ALONG THE ITINERARIES ARE MARKED FOR RELEVANCE. ** NOT TO BE MISSED * INTERESTING AND TO AVOID GETTING LOST ALONG THE WAY, EACH SECTION IS WELL MARKED SCIENTISTS HISTORICAL FIGURES
