Gianroberto Scarcia

Università Ca' Foscari di Venezia

Gianroberto Scarcia, one of Italy's most authoritative Orientalists, offers a stimulating view of mutual relations between figurative art and literature in the Islamic world. His detailed analysis down the ages highlights in particular the historical events that have marked Islam's contact with the Christian world and the mutual influence, as well as the misunderstandings and the trends and fashions, that that contact has spawned.
