The Cambridge Urban History of Europe
Volume II charts European urbanism between 700–1850, the millennium during which Europe became the world's most urbanised region. Featuring thirty-six chapters from leading scholars working on all the major linguistic areas of Europe, the volume offers a state-of-the-art survey that explores and explains this transformation, how similar or different such processes were across Europe, and how far it is possible to discern traits that characterise …
Introduction
This special issue draws on new research conducted by the PUblic REnaissance: Urban Cultures of Public Space between Early Modern Europe and the Present project, funded by the Humanities in the European Research Area (see: www.hiddencities.eu ). The project considers how public spaces, from street corners to major city squares, were shaped by the everyday activities of ordinary city dwellers between 1450 and 1700. We have focused on the urban fab…

Immersive Renaissance Florence
While visualizations of various types—such as maps, 3-D models, and animations—have become staples in digital humanities approaches to art and architectural history, how to integrate analog data (artworks and drawings, archival documents, and so on) into born-digital outputs remains a fundamental concern. This article discusses processes developed through ongoing work on the art historical visualization project Florence4D. It proposes an integrat…
Hidden Florence revealed? Critical insights from the operation of an augmented reality app in a World Heritage City
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, overtourism was a major topic in global tourism management discourse. The continued growth of international tourism placed pressure on many high-profile urban destinations containing some of the world's most important intrinsic cultural heritage. This paper critically examines the operation of Hidden Florence, a heritage tourism augmented reality (AR) application (app) for the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Florence…
Afterword
This afterword reflects on how the concept of mobility offers a valuable framework for the analysis of individuals and groups moving into and within early modern urban environments, of the privileged sites of encounter and exchange for such movements, and of the physical trajectories of particular objects as they traverse and connect urban spaces of encounter. Particular attention is given to the material life of objects and how these both enable…

Pamela O. Long. Engineering the Eternal City
The city of Rome is the archetype of the urban palimpsest, layer upon layer of history visible in a built fabric that documents a human presence from Etruscan times to the present day. Contrasting the changing forms of buildings and their functions, the network of streets and aqueducts, and the River Tiber provides instead a surprisingly stable armature of infrastructure that has received significantly less scholarly attention than the grand buil…
Ideal Cities (Renaissance)
Renaissance ideal cities are an enduring construct that tended to express, through ideals of order and symmetry, the centralized authority of princely rulers, and by the later sixteenth century combined with this military functions as fortified new towns. The symmetry that defined ideal city designs of the early Renaissance, like the fortified cities of the following centuries, articulated in visual terms a totalizing vision of centralized author…

"El Papa non verrà"
In late October 1515, the government authorities of Siena were busy preparing the city for the visit of Pope Leo X de' Medici, expected in the middle of the following month. Palaces were requisitioned to house the pontiff and his entourage, while artists set to work to create the ephemeral architectural elements for a grand all'antica triumph through the streets. Under the supervision of Vannoccio di Paolo Biringucci, artists of the caliber of Do…
Introduction
From late antiquity until the nineteenth century the Italian peninsula was made up of numerous states and city-states, governed as republics, or ruled by kings, dukes or popes. While diverse attempts were made to unify these disparate political entities through language and culture, or warfare and realpolitik, the dominant situation was one of intense rivalry and intermittent conflict. That uniquely Italian idea of campanilismo , or pride in one'…

Siena

This book is the first to focus on Sienese architectural and urban history during the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Fabrizio Nevola offers a comprehensive picture of the city, describing in detail how the layout and appearance of Siena changed between 1400 and 1520, as political and social eve…
