Reviews
"... has been thoroughly investigated using a vast bibliography of original and modern texts, but mostly through a very serious documentary research which brings to light several unpublished sources, appropriately transcribed and meant to be published as part of the scientific impact of the contribution. .... It can be concluded that the study of Laura Giacomini makes an important contribution to the knowledge of the Milan residential architecture and noble way of life."

"Dr. Giacomini has shown excellent interpretative skills in shedding light on unresolved nodes in the previous Lombard historiography, and in particular the ability to give greater breadth to the historical framework reconstructed with thoughtful implications for international studies."
