From Urbino to Manhattan: The Della Rovere Library with Joseph Connors
In 1607, the last duke of Urbino, Francesco Maria II Della Rovere, built a great library in his ducal summer palace in Urbania to celebrate the birth of a long-awaited heir. Two and half centuries later, the Library's magnificent shelving was shipped across the Atlantic by an aesthete-architect, Egisto Fabbri, one of the early collectors of Cezanne, for the Fabbri Mansion, one of the loveliest houses of the Upper East Side, while other fragments from the break-up of Urbino - the Studiolo of Gubbio and the Barberini Panels - found a worthy home in the Metropolitan Museum. Join Joseph Connors, author and Professor of History of Art, Architecture and Renaissance at Harvard University, as he explores this story of how Manhattan became a safe haven for the wreckage of a splendid Renaissance duchy. Tickets $25.
