Recommended Reading

Most these books are on reserve in the library at Dipartimento di Storia delle Arti Visive e della Musica, Piazza Capitaniato 7. It is important that the books stay in the library at all times as several students of this class may be assigned to read passages from the same book during the same week.

The books are in Prof. Durante's office in a reserved area: the shelf on the right hand side as you enter his office. To access the books, you will need to get a proper loan (this is only possible when somebody is on duty). Those students who are not enrolled at the University should get a permanent permission from Prof. Durante.
