Awarded with the 2020 Premio San Francesco by the Pontificia Università Antonianum

While the essays included in the volume cover domains ranging from methodology and (the history of) historiography, over archaeology and epigraphy, to politics and religion, they all resort under the main theme of ‘the past as present’.

Resulting from the international conference "The Italian Maiolica in the Renaissance. Studies and Research" (Assisi, 9-11 September 2016), this volume brings together contributions by experts from various national and international institutions, and in particular from museums housing dedicated collections of Renaissance ceramics.
