Writing Italian Film History: A First-Person Account
This article argues that art history may well provide a suitable template for film criticism and history. It argues, in contrast to some recent film theory, that the fundamental artefact of our analysis is the film itself and it elevates the object of study over the theory of the object of study. Two important concepts — ‘crisis’ (derived from a medical and/or political metaphor) and ‘rebirth’ (derived from Italian humanism’s desire to imitate, e…

My Life
Thus spoke Pope Paul III on learning that Cellini had murdered a fellow artist, so great was his reputation in Renaissance Florence. A renowned sculptor and goldsmith, whose works include the famous salt-cellar made for the King of France, and the statue of Perseus with the head of the Medusa, Cellini’s life was as vivid and enthralling as his creations. A man of action as well as an artist, he took part in the Sack of Rome in 1527; he was temper…

Machiavelli's close analysis of Livy's history of Rome led him to advance his most original and outspoken view of politics - the belief that a healthy body politic was characterized by social friction and conflict rather than by rigid stability. His discussion of conspiracies in Discourses on Livy is …

The Eternal City: Roman Images in the Modern World
A major new interpretation of the impact of ancient Rome on our culture, this study charts the effects of two diametrically opposed views of Roman antiquity: the virtuous republic of self-less citizen soldiers and the corrupt empire of power-hungry tyrants. The power of these images is second only to those derived from Christianity in constructing our modern culture. Few modern readers are aware of how indebted we are to the Roman model of our po…

The Portable Machiavelli
Edited and translated by Peter Bondanella and Mark Musa, The Portable not only gives the casual reader a chance to read different personal and professional works of Machiavelli, but also strives to do away with many of the myths that have plagued the man's posthumous fame. For example, the famous 'the ends justifies the means' quote is actually a gross exaggeration of what Machiavelli originally wrote, which was 'in the actions of all men...when …
