In homage to Carbonara: between Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages
Presenting the essays included in the section Storia e rappresentazione dell’architettura e della città. The
studies deal with topics that fall within the field of historiography, that of the history of architecture, urban
planning, building techniques and restoration. Most of them reflect areas of research already dealt with by
Giovanni Carbonara and develop their study methodology, despite their different location by epoch and
geographical area. In addition to specific themes of gothic architecture in the English context, the precise
study of pagan and religious buildings in the Mediterranean area, case studies on themes of ancient Rome
and research concerning the reading of the urban fabric and the transformations of historical cities, various
contributions deal with themes relating to the study of construction techniques and medieval building
sites, with particular attention to historical masonry and its restoration. [n.d.r.]
