Excerpt from Descrizione dei Ruderi Monumentali: Ritrovati Negli Scavi a Fiesole
Coloro che impresero quello scavo scoragg1t1 dalla spesa necessaria a rintracciare il rimanente fabbricato, poichè erano stati accecati soltanto dall'interesse di trovare oggetti d'arte di un qualche valore, desisterono da ulteriori ricerche, ed anzi dai canonici furono obbligati a rimettere il terreno nel suo primiero stato, adoperando tutto il rintracciato materiale.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an overview of the monumental ruins found in archaeological digs at Fiesole, a town in the Florence province of Italy. The author, an architect and engineer, begins with an overview of the history of the settlement from its Etruscan origins through its Roman and medieval periods, placing it in the context of other archaeological discoveries in Italy. The author then takes an in-depth look at the excavated remains of the town's amphitheater, which was discovered in the early 19th century, and the elaborate baths, which were unearthed more recently. The author's measured drawings form the basis for the book's detailed illustrations, which allow readers to visualize the scale and artistry of these structures. Going beyond mere description, the author presents a thematic analysis of the ruins, exploring how the Etruscans and Romans used public spaces for entertainment, leisure, and social interaction. The author also discusses how these structures influenced later architectural developments and artistic movements, making the book relevant to readers interested in architecture and cultural history. The book concludes with a discussion of the significance of the ruins for understanding Fiesole's past and its role within the broader context of ancient Italy. The author argues that the town's public spaces were central to the community's cultural and civic life, providing insights into the social and political organization of Etruscan and Roman society.
