    Conference, symposium - Europe

    State-Rooms of Royal and Princely Palaces in Europe (14th-16th c.)

    Spaces, images, rituals

    From the fourteenth to the sixteenth century, European monarchies saw a gradual centralisation of power. This was accompanied by the dissemination of political ideas that contributed to the making of a new image of the prince, which relied on visual instruments to assert and construct the prince’s sovereign power. Royal and princely residences with their designated state-rooms were at the centre of this phenomenon. Their decors, particularly during ceremonies, reflected political interests and ambitions that were essential to the image of the prince. By placing a particular emphasis on the decor of those state-rooms, this workshop aims to increase our insights into the relations between the architecture, decoration, and rituals of monarchical power in state-rooms from the late middle ages to the beginning of the early modern period.

    Relações luso-italianas nos séculos XV-XVIII

    Balanço e novas linhas de investigação no âmbito da celebração dos 150 anos da União de Itália

    Em 1998 a saudosa Professora Carmen M. Radulet organizou, no Instituto Italiano de Cultura de Lisboa, um colóquio internacional sobre as relações lusoitalianas e sobre a presença italiana em Portugal nos séculos XV-XVIII. Os contributos, ao aprofundar aspectos peculiares da actividade económica da comunidade italiana em Lisboa, proporcionaram aspectos inéditos das relações comerciais e culturais luso-italianas.
