Politicized Space: Florence and Milan

Filmed on location and divided into three sections, this program examines how civic planning was tailored to suit the varying political agendas of Republican Florence, Ducal Milan, and Ducal Florence. By taking the viewer on a detailed tour of urban plazas and buildings, including the Piazza and Palazzo della Signoria in Florence and the Castello Sforesco in Milan, the program shows how architecture, heraldic imagery, commissioned artworks, and even religious iconography can be used to reinforce the public status of governing parties. Produced by the Open University. (51 minutes)
