WEBINAR RECORDING | “Renaissance Courts in Italy”
Presented by Dr. Rocky Ruggiero

While Renaissance cities such as Florence, Rome, and Venice are the better-known touristic destinations, Italian court towns such as Urbino, Mantua, Naples, Milan, and Ferrara are equally beautiful. Ruled over by dynastic families such as the Gonzaga, Monefteltro, Anjou/Aragonese, Sforza, and Este, these towns not only offered Renaissance artists the opportunity to work for a single princely patron, but to also live princely lifestyles themselves. Join Dr. Rocky for this webinar where he will explore the world of the Italian Renaissance court and the magnificent art and architecture that they produced.
