“Multa renascentur”. Tammaro De Marinis studioso, bibliofilo, antiquario, collezionista.

This volume provides an account of the conference held at the Fondazione Giorgio Cini and organised by the Institute of Art History to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Tammaro De Marinis (1878–1969), Neapolitan by birth and Florentine by adoption.

The publication brings together the contributions of over twenty speakers who have studied the figure of De Marinis: an early and tireless scholar of bindings, manuscripts and illustrated books, a bibliophile and collector of refined taste, not to mention a very active and cultured antiquarian. Both as a result of his research work and his own antiquarian activity, there is evidence of his passage through the most prestigious Italian and European cultural institutions, with some traces left even overseas. His close ties with the Fondazione Giorgio Cini, given by the presence at San Giorgio of his working library, a significant portion of his antique book collection and numerous archival and study documents form the basis of new research promoted by the Foundation.
