Alexis Culotta specializes in sixteenth-century Roman art and architecture with a particular focus on the working relationships between the creative protagonists of the era. This fueled her first book (Tracing the Visual Language of Raphael's Circle to 1527; Brill 2020), which framed the foundation for this second project.
