Pirro Ligorio’s Worlds brings renowned Ligorio specialists into conversation with emerging young scholars on various aspects of the visual, antiquarian and intellectual production of one of the most fascinating and learned artists in the prestigious entourage of Cardinal Alessandro Farnese. The book takes a more nuanced approach to the complex topic of Ligorio’s ‘forgeries’, investigating them in relation to previously neglected aspects of his life and work.
