Giulio Giovio’s Comment on Varro’s Aviary (On agriculture)

Résumé

In their desire to live as the ancient Romans, the Humanists attempted to discover in their texts how the ancients lived and to imitate aspects of their daily lives. From this perspective, some members of Paolo Giovio’s family tried to reconstruct the architecture of the famous Aviary of Varro’s Villa in Casinum, which he described in his third book on Agriculture. Giulio Giovio’s comment on Varro’s description was originally accompanied by a drawing of the building that is lost. This talk analyses Giovo’s comment in the light of the unique renaissance drawing of the Aviary that survives--that of Pirro Ligorio. Such an analysis gives us valuable information that can help to resolve the long standing academic debate on the form and function of Varro’s Aviary.
