Poppone. L'età d'oro del patriarcato di Aquileia

This catalogue is drawn from an exhibition mounted by Aquileia's Gruppo Archeological and is part of a group of Great Exhibits promoted by the regions of Friuli-Venezia Giulia for 1996-1997, and offers a contribution to our understanding of the history of Aquileia, not only in the Roman or Paleochristian periods, but in the Medieval as well. Thanks to the work of the illuminated patriarch Poppone, the city was able to live a true and proper renaissance that can still be seen in the grand works of the eleventh century that are still standing. In this volume, both the figure and the works of the Iron Patriarch are therefore considered within the general framework of the of year 1000. Over one hundred entries of individual exhibition pieces, some of which have never be published before, are structured in a well articulated fashion and complement the ample text.
