Mons. Timothy Verdon talking (in Italiano) about the glazed sculpture of Della Robbia in Barga

The glazed sculpture of Luca Della Robbia and his family, admired by Leonardo da Vinci and whose technique still baffles experts was at the centre of an extremely interesting meeting this afternoon in Barga.

As the Renaissance master Luca, (or his nephew Andrea and the latter’s son Giovanni, nobody is still absolutely sure just who was the actual hand behind the work in the Chiesa di Santa Elisabetta), was at the centre, literally and figuratively of a discussion about sacred art and its position in the church by the art historian and author, Mons.Timothy Verdon.
