Color del mattone: finiture rosse nelle murature e terrecotte architettoniche ferraresi, tra XV e XVI secolo

In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, red finishes of a different kind, which we know only partially today, were applied onto brick walls and architectural terracotta; as they defined a specific image of architecture, its knowledge should be improved on. Different red finish types have been described and dated. They constitute primary terms of comparison, but it is necessary to deepen the studies begun in the mid-1980s and cross-reference analytical data with archival data, looking for correspondences between historical documents and traceable fragments in situ.
