Through a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach, this study uncovers the home as a vital center of spiritual renewal, shedding light on the myriad ways in which religion permeated daily life within the household. A meticulous examination of books, buildings, objects, spaces, images, and archival sources is conducted to shed new light on the various ways in which religion infused the joys and trials of domestic existence, ranging from childbirth and marriage to illness and death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy expanding beyond the traditional focus on Venice, Florence, and Rome, The Sacred Home investigates the diverse practices of piety across the Italian peninsula, with a special emphasis on Naples, the Marche, and the Venetian mainland. It also delves into the experiences of artisanal and lower-status households, highlighting the role of gender and age as significant determinants of religious experiences. Through the recovery of lost voices and captivating narratives at the intersection of the divine and the everyday, The Sacred Home provides unprecedented insights into the spiritual lives of Renaissance Italians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 926g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 164 x 241 x 28 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780198816553\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AbigailBrundin,DeborahHoward,MaryLaven","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44100478009594,"sku":"9780198816553","price":48.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/60b3264b462f4f3ed200297da4c53369.jpg?v=1631070530","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/sacred-home-in-renaissance-italy","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
