This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ...of all the constructive arts, and as ready to build a bridge as to paint a Madonna. Their backgrounds sometimes portray a whole city, worked out with the care of an architect's plan. Wherever we are able to check Gozzoli, we find that he tells the literal truth about the appearance of the world of his day, and we can therefore safely make, on his authority, certain statements about the dwellings of the well-to-do in Italy in his century. The traditions of Roman architecture had never been altogether drowned out in Italy by the Gothic; and the discovery at the end of the thirteenth century of the manuscript of Vitruvius, the great Roman architect, renewed the authority of these traditions. The Gothic ideas were soon abandoned and left their mark only in the shape of a certain eclecticism and liberty of fancy which prevented the slavish reproduction of the antique. For although the houses of Gozzoli are far nearer to the Roman villa than to the Gothic donjon, they have nevertheless a radical difference. The Roman house, like the Greek house, presented as nearly as possible a blank wall to the world. Within there was space, air and light, but no one could guess it from without. The early Italian house on the other hand is open and accessible. The people who live in it wish to see and are willing to be seen. Contrasting the house with the donjon we can see that life has become relatively safe and peaceful; contrasting it with the Roman house we can see that life has become democratic and simple. In a word, it has become modern. The loggia has appeared with all its social connotation. It may occur on the ground floor, on the first floor or on the roof; it may be covered with trellised vines or with a roof, and sometimes another story rests upon it....
