{"product_id":"italian-courts-and-european-culture-marcello-fantoni-9789463729420","title":"Italian Courts and European Culture","description":"Between the fifteenth and the eighteenth century, princely courts dominated the Italian political scene. These courts were effervescent centers of cultural production. As such, they became a model for European monarchies who imported Italian courtly \u003ccite\u003eforma del vivere\u003c\/cite\u003e ('style of life') to legitimize their power and to define social status. This phenomenon included architecture and painting, theater and music, manners and aesthetics, and all the objects, behaviors and beliefs that contributed to homogenize European culture in the age of the Old Regime. It involved a hemorrhage of art and a continuous circulation of people, texts and symbols. The foundational material for this process was classicism and its purpose was political. This delineates a new geography and chronology of a truly European cultural history. It also provides the key traits for the European cultural identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcello Fantoni\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9463729429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789463729420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amsterdam University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.29h x 6.22w x 0.94d","brand":"Marcello Fantoni","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44069322522879,"sku":"9789463729420","price":131.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9feda0bc-2275-42b5-9dc3-40e3c29c2936.jpg?v=1685424075","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/italian-courts-and-european-culture-marcello-fantoni-9789463729420","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
