Abstract

The writing of the second edition of the Vite, published in Florence by Giunti in 1568, was a crucial time for discussions and fruitful exchanges of ideas between Vasari and his closest friends and collaborators. Adriani’s work was conceived to fill the space, temporal and historio-critical, left empty by Vasari in the edition of Vite published in 1550 (Florence, Torrentino), which starts from the Middle Ages and ends with the artists who were his contemporaries.
