/Il Maestro di Ippolita Sforza e il suo atelier: ipotesi di un percorso
/ /Giuseppa Z. Zanichelli / p. 5
The author resumes the problem of the catalogue of the miniaturist known
as Ippolita Sforza's Master; she confirms the close relation of
continuity with the Master of the Vitae Imperatorum, whereas she revises
all the attributions pertinent to the final phase of the miniaturist's
activity, in which she discerns different artificers personalities.

/L'"usanza moderna" e la "maniera antica": San Sigismondo di Cremona
nella cultura architettonica lombarda
del XV secolo. Parte Prima./ / Jessica Gritti / p. 33
The first part of this study interprets the documentation related to the
church and the monastery of St. Sigismondo in Cremona in order to lay
down the chronology of the interventions. This church was founded by the
duchess Bianca Maria Visconti in 1463, but it was ended only during the
first decade of the 16th century. Its bell tower was erected in 1510.

Geddo / p. 63
The author analyses a young woman profile belonging to a private

/Antonio da Sangallo il Giovane e Pier Francesco da Viterbo, ingegneri
militari ad Ancona e Ascoli Piceno/ / Francesco Menchetti / p. 89
Starting from unpublished documents, the author studies the plans and
the realization of the fortifications situated in Ancona (1532) and in

Paul III to Antonio da Sangallo the Younger and Pier Francesco da
Viterbo.

/Proposte per Francesco Cavazzoni / /Michele Danieli / p. 135

revises the artist's catalogue and assigns him some sacred paintings and
other drawings.

/«Manifestazioni d'allegrezza». L'entrata in Milano dell'arcivescovo
Alfonso Litta/ / Alessandra Casati p. 153
The author analyses the ephemeral apparatus which were prepared on the
occasion of the archbishop Alfonso Litta's entry in Milan (1652) and the
procession way from St. Eustorgio basilica to the cathedral. Both plans
and documents let us clearly identify the designer with the architect
Carlo Buzzi and let us know the names of all the painters and sculptors
who achieved the
works.

/Sulle orme di Giovanni Morelli. Emilio Visconti Venosta e il
collezionismo privato nell'Italia postunitaria/ / Gianpaolo Angelini /
p. 175
Emilio Visconti Venosta (1829-1914), an italian patriot and statesman,
kept up a personal relation and frequent correspondence with Giovanni
Morelli. This article examines Morelli's contribution to the creation of
Visconti Venosta's paintings collection. The documents allow an
investigation of the dispersion of great private collections after the
unification of Italy.

/"Una grossa e violenta manifestazione contro la critica d'arte": il
carteggio fra Enrico Baj e Piero Manzoni nella Milano

Enrico Baj in the years 1957-1958 and which are nowadays kept at the
Enrico Baj Archive in Vergiate. The letters concern the selling of some
works and the organization of the Fontana Baj Manzoni exhibition, held
in 1958.
