The frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, painted by Giotto at the beginning of the 14th century, mark the apex of the renewal of Italian and European painting between the 13th and 14th centuries. The volume, part of the series Mirabilia Italiae, a unique series of books that present itineraries for visiting Italy's most beautiful monuments, examines, for the first time in an exhaustive and thorough manner, not only the pictorial cycle but also the architectural structure of the building and the works of art inside.
