Author Information

Giulo Carlo Argan (1902-1992) was an Italian art and architecture historian, critic, and strong anti-Fascist voice. He taught at the University of Palermo in the mid-1950s and moved to Rome in 1959, where he was a professor at the University of Rome. He served as mayor of Rome as a Communist from 1976 to 1979, and then as an Italian senator. He is the author of several classic works of art history, including History of Italian Art, The Baroque Age, and Brunelleschi. He was the subject of a conference at the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei in Rome in February 2003. Bruno Contardi (1952-1999) was a curator and arts administrator, and Milan's Superintendent of Artistic and Historical Works.
