Index  aThe Fonte Gaia from Renaissance to Modern Times' examines the history of Siena's famous public fountain, from its fifteenth-century origins to its eventual replacement by a copy in the nineteenth century (and the modern fate of both). The book explores how both the Risorgimento and the Symbolist movements have shaped our perceptions of the Italian Renaissance, as the Quattrocento was filtered through the lens of contemporary art and politics.  0aSculpture, RenaissancezItaly 0aFonte GaiazItaly 0aFountainszItaly 0aFountainsxConservation and restorationzItaly 0aFountainsxRenaissancezItaly 0aEurope HistoryzWestern. 0aLiterary criticism.xModernxGeneral 0aItalyzSiena  aBoffa, David
