Description: Firenze: Centro Di, 2013. 28cm., pbk., 100pp. illus. Includes English abstracts. The major part of this issue (pp. 2-81) is the important essay by Francesco Caglioti, Il 'San Giovanino' mediceo di MICHELANGELO, da Firenze a Ubeda". From the abstract: For almost half a century art historical literature has concurred that the marble "San Giovannino" (Young Saint John the Baptist) carved by Michelangelo for Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de' Medici is an entirely lost and unknown work. this article, already announced by the author in 2000, seeks instead to demonstrate that it is one of the six or seven candidates unsuccessfully proposed by scholars up to 1964, and indeed the least successful of all: the "San Giovannino" that belonged to Francisco de los Cobos (c.1477-1547), secretary of the Emperor Charles V, and was given by him to his chapel-mausoleum of El Salvador in Ubeda (Andalusia) - a sculpture with a doubly unfortunate fate, as it was half destroyed in 1936, during the Spanish Civil War (trans. Frank E. Dabell).
