The current volume aspires to fill this gap, using the case of \"Bellezza\" as a kaleidoscope for looking through Italian history and culture, drawing on new primary sources and extraordinary iconography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eVacirca, Silvia:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Silvia Vacirca is a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Udine.
