These pages reconstruct  the story of the magnificent bas relief in the Acton Collection (Villa  La Pietra, Florence), commissioned to celebrate the marriage between  Antonio Basso Della Rovere, nephew of Pope Sixtus IV, and Caterina  Marzano d&#8217;Aragona, the niece of King Ferdinand I of Naples. The heraldic  symbols of the three coats of arms leave no doubt about the identities  of the characters and events surrounding its creation, and lead us to  the original location of the work, born as the overdoor to the main  portal of the Basso Della Rovere Palace in piazza della Maddalena in  Savona. Through close examination of the Della Rovere in Rome, this  study highlights some previously unknown facts about the family&#8217;s  origins and returns to Savona and its role as a political, cultural, and  artistic protagonist in late 15th-century Italy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The story of the magnificent bas relief commissioned to celebrate the marriage between the nephew of Pope Sixtus IV and the niece of King Ferdinand I of Naples.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":15084,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5601,5523],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-13998","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-architecture-landscape-design","7":"product_cat-art","8":"author-by-author-mauro-mussolin","9":"publisher-officina-libraria","10":"series-acton-collection-series","12":"first","13":"instock","14":"shipping-taxable","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
