The recent recognition of the high scientific profile of Aestimum and Aisthesis resulted in their inclusion in Scopus: an extraordinary step forward! This important milestone ensures that articles published in those journals are easily found when searching for land economics and aesthetics literature and enables authors to keep track of how often their articles have been cited by others.

Paramenti bugnati e architettura nella Firenze del Quattrocento

Belli, Gianluca

Il libro indaga l’evoluzione dei paramenti bugnati in uno dei contesti forse più significativi per la loro storia, vale a dire nell’ambito dell’architettura fiorentina del Quattrocento, quando questo tipo di muratura intreccia il proprio sviluppo con quello dei palazzi realizzati durante il corso del secolo. Il tratto caratteristico è il naturalismo, che in forme e gradi diversi permea tutti i paramenti divenendo una sorta di inflessione locale, che contamina anche i linguaggi più aggiornati. A Firenze la renovatio dell’architettura antica passa infatti anche dalle murature, come non mancano di registrare gli scritti dei contemporanei, che descrivono i paramenti a bugne coevi paragonandoli al massiccio opus quadratum antico. Pur accogliendo la lezione di magnificenza dei bugnati giulio-claudî, i paramenti fiorentini tuttavia non diverranno mai una riproduzione pedissequa dei modelli romani, ma conserveranno sempre caratteri e schemi tradizionali, oscillando costantemente tra libertà espressiva e anelito al rigore della forma.
