The proceedings of the conference on art and literature in Renaissance Florence (“Proxima Studia”: arte e letteratura a Firenze 1300-1600), held at ISI Florence’s Palazzo Rucellai in October 2008, came out last summer in a special issue of the prestigious journal Letteratura e Arte (vol. IX, 2011). Our professor Stefano U. Baldassarri edited the proceedings, wrote the introduction, and contributed one of the essays. Among the other contributors is Michael W. Kwakkelstein (Prof. of Art History, International Studies Institute and director of The Dutch Institute for Art History in Florence), who wrote an article on Leonardo da Vinci, proposing a new dating for his famous Annunciation of the Magi.
