This lecture entitled “Re-Mapping the Italian Renaissance,“ is part of Professor Campbell’s four-part series on the topic “Inventions of Place: Rethinking Peripheral Identities in the Age of Lotto and Titian.“ Over the course of four lectures, Professor Campbell challenges assumptions about the Italian Renaissance as he examines peripheral personalities in the age of Titian.
