Summary: The monastic complex of San Zeno, situated on the right bank of the Adige in close proximity to the river and only a slight remove from the ancient Roman urban centre, has been a major fulcrum of the cultural, religious and artistic life of Verona since the early Middle Ages. The prosperity of the site, which housed one of the most outstanding Benedictine communities in northern Italy, is manifested in the extraordinary number of works of art and in the architectural stratifications that result from over one-thousand years of history. Cierre Edizioni has prepared a volume in large format that narrates the history and illustrates the artistic richness of the abbey complex. Through the photography, the exciting course of centuries of artistic virtuosity and cultivated patronage is retraced. Alternating full views and closely focused details make it possible to observe often inaccessible features for the first time. The book offers an unprecedented portrait of the basilica, dedicated to Verona's patron saint, symbol of the city and place of encounter in the diversified local social milieu in the medieval and early modern periods - Language : english and italian texts - Tiratura 800 esemplari numerati ( il nostro è l'esemplare n.° 259 ) Size: 300 X400 mm.
