(syllabus)
Farnese residences and sites in Tuscia and their pictorial decorations (unit 1).
The course is devoted to the study of Farnesian residences and sites in Tuscia, with particular attention to their pictorial decoration. In this context, special attention will be given to the palace of Tiberio Crispo in Bolsena, the Farnese Palace in Gradoli and the Farnesian Fortress in Capodimonte. In this context we will consider, urban interventions and urban transformations promoted by the household in the Duchy of Castro: urban interventions in Ronciglione, Viterbo and Caprarola. Palazzo Farnese in Caprarola, because of its importance, will be a point of reference both for issues pertaining to its design and those related to its pictorial decoration. The vicissitudes of the Farnese family in the late fifteenth century and during the sixteenth century will provide the necessary background for approaching the themes that will gradually be discussed in the course. Classroom lectures will be supplemented by visits to the various sites, privileging de visu knowledge of what is covered in the course.
