Description:Between 1600 and 1660, the cultural life of the city of Florence has been associated almost exclusively with the ruling Medici family. This PhD thesis aims to change this view by showing that educated members of the Florentine patriciate contributed substantially to the cultural success of the Medici court and that their networks were responsible for many cultural innovations in Florence.In different chapters I demonstrate the ways in which the patricians contributed to the cultural climate in Florence and to the cultural success and social representation of the Medici court, in the period 1600-60. I focus on their art patronage and collections, their brokerage activities, their cultural academies, their relations with Medici princes, their cultural exchange and the accompanying innovations and experiments, and finally on their role in the cultural and sociopolitical representation of the Medici court.Over the past fifteen years, an increasing number of books and articles have appeared on the cultural activities and patronage of individual patrician families. This thesis has a broader scope, as it aims to highlight the patricians’ contribution as a group, and to provide insights into the mechanisms behind their cultural input.Much of the new information and findings presented here is drawn from the extremely rich and well-preserved archives of the Niccolini, Guicciardini, and Buonarroti families in Florence. By integrating my findings with the results of previous studies on the cultural activities of Florentine patricians I hope to convince the reader of the remarkable skills and creativity of the seventeenth-century Florentine patricians as a group.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
