The abbey of San Sebastiano, which lies not far from the town
of Alatri in Southern Lazio, preserves within its walls almost fifteen
hundred years of history. This history is unusually bound to a number
of important figures, from Saint Benedict to Pope Nicholas V and his
circle of humanists. For the past four years a small team has been
investigating the standing structures of the abbey, analyzing the
stratigraphy of the standing walls and tracing the various phases
through the building. The
study has produced some startling discoveries: the plan and preserved
walls of one of the oldest monasteries in Europe, and one of the
earliest Renaissance villas. The book gives an account of the
architecture and the history of the building, showing how each phase
relates to the last both structurally and thematically.
The project was
initiated at the American Academy in Rome, where Elizabeth Fentress was
Andrew Mellon Professor, and Caroline Goodson, Margaret L. Laird and Stephanie C. Leone were Fellows. Margaret Laird
and Stephanie Leone are now assistant professors at the University of
Washington, Seattle and at Boston College. Other contributors
include Caroline Bruzelius, Professor of the History of Art at Duke
University, Antonio Manfredi, Vatican Library, Serena Romano, Professor
of the History of Art at the University of Lausanne, Marco Rossi,
director of the Museum of Alatri, and Ingrid Rowland, Andrew Mellon
Professor at the American Academy in Rome.
