These Uffizi drawings, both made during the first two years of Leo’s papacy, have been repeatedly cited as important examples of High Renaissance palace design and urbanism, and of Medicean aspirations. Within this detailed context are set the famous drawings produced after the cardinal was elected pope in March 1513: the Medici palace designs by Giuliano da Sangallo (GDSU 7949 A) and Antonio da Sangallo the Younger (GDSU 1259 Ar,v). Utilizing archeological, legal and cultural materials, both written and drawn, this article provides a comprehensive history of relevant properties: a chronicle of owners and transactions – including previously unpublished 1509 Medici contracts – and maps of their precise topographic boundaries. Because even basic facts affecting this project have remained unclear, the neighborhood’s specifics are here re-examined. Originating from a fine Renaissance house built up and improved by two different curial administrators amongst the medieval and ancient remains of the baths of Alexander Severus, the building and grounds of the future palace were rented in 1503 by Cardinal Giovanni de’ Medici (later Pope Leo X), and subsequently purchased and expanded by his family. The Dramatic Art of Athol Fugard demonstrates how Fugard's plays enable us to see that what is performed on stage can also be performed in society and in our lives how, inverting Shakespeare, Athol Fugard makes his stage the world.This architectural and urban study revises the history of Rome’s Palazzo Medici (later Palazzo Madama) in the Campo Marzio, from the 1470s through 1521. Beginning with the specifics of his homeland, Fugard's plays reach out to engage more far-reaching issues of human relationships, race and racism, and the power of art to evoke change. Albert Wertheim analyzes the form and content of Fugard's dramas, showing that they are more than a dramatic chronicle of South African life and racial problems. The energy and poignancy of his work have their origins in the institutionalized racism of his native South Africa, and more recently in the issues facing a new South Africa after apartheid. This book is aimed not only at teachers, students, scholars, and performers of Fugard but also at the person who simply loves going to see a Fugard play at the theatre.' - Nancy Topping Bazin, Eminent Scholar and Professor Emerita, Old Dominion University Athol Fugard is considered one of the most brilliant, powerful, and theatrically astute of modern dramatists. 'Albert Wertheim's study of Fugard's plays is both extremely insightful and beautifully written.
