A number of institutions and individuals have made this book possible. First of all to the many people who in different ways have commented, criticised, advised and supported my work over the years: Mario Ascheri, Didier Boisseuil, Jill Burke, Peter Burke, Howard Burns, Monika Butzek, Marilena Caciorgna, Joanna Cannon, Giuliano Catoni, Gioachino Chiarini, Giuseppe Chironi, Sam Cohn, Paul Crossley, Jonathan Davies, Barbara Deimling, Nick Eckstein, Caroline Elam, Gabriele Fattorini, Francesco Paolo Fiore, David Friedman, Julian Gardner, Christa Gardner von Teuffel, Richard Goldthwaite, John Henderson, Tom Henry, Machtelt Israëls, Philippa Jackson, John Law, Wolfgang Loseries, Kate Lowe, Michael Mallett, Alick McLean, Gianni Mazzoni, Luca Moià, Sandy Murray, Mauro Mussolin, Diana Norman, Nicholas Oldsberg, John Paoletti, Ludwin Paardekooper, Simon Pepper, Petra Pertici, Brenda Preyer, Guido Rebecchini, Michael Rocke, David Rosenthal, Gervase Rosser, Ingrid Rowland, Pat Rubin, Christine Shaw, Fulvia Sussi, Maurizio Tuliani, Evelyn Welch, Caria Zarrilli. I also thank Graham Wallinger for first teaching me about buildings. The staff of the Archivio di Stato, the Biblioteca Comunale degli Intronati and the Soprintendenza in Siena, and the Courtauld Institute and the Library of the Warburg Institute in London, have all provided invaluable facilities and assistance. My particular thanks go to Yanel de Angel, whose maps and plans communicate information so much more effectively than my earlier rudimentary efforts. Much the same can be said for the photographs that enrich this book, many of which were taken by Matthias Quast and Fabio Lensini; thanks also to Geoffrey Fisher of the Courtauld Institute’s Conway Library and Fabio Torchio of the Fototeca at Siena’s Soprintendenza. For a grant that assisted with the cost of photographs, I especially thank the generous support of Lila Acheson Wallace – Readers Digest Publications Subsidy at Villa I Tatti. The community and staff of Villa I Tatti, the Harvard University Centre for Italian Renaissance Studies, provided the ideal context for a year spent (2004–5) completing the manuscript, and I particularly thank Joe Connors for making me so welcome there. Work on this book has spanned my years at the University of Warwick, Villa I Tatti, the Università degli Studi di Siena and will now see the light from Oxford Brookes University. I thank all these institutions for their generous support. Very special thanks go to Toni Clark, Georgia Clarke, Richard Ingersoll and Luke Syson, whose careful reading of different versions of the book have improved it beyond recognition. At Yale University Press, I thank Gillian Malpass for her enthusiastic encouragement of this project, and Emily Lees for her work on the practicalities and impracticalities of putting it together.
