Reviews

'Usually books covering such a wide span are multiauthored, but Camerlenghi bravely and successfully tackles the whole life-span. His thoughtful meditations on layered identities and how a building, like a new varietal grafted onto an old rootstock, can change but remain the same might be what readers in fields far from Rome will take away from this fine book.' Joseph Connors, Renaissance Quarterly
