Overview

Verona Illustrata is an annual art-history journal published by the Museo di Castelvecchio in Verona, Italy. It takes its title from the 1732 work of the same name by the Veronese scholar Scipione Maffei, an encyclopedic study of the history, writers and monuments of the city of Verona. The journal was founded in 1988 under the direction of Licisco Magagnato and was carried forward by Sergio Marinelli; it is today regarded as one of the most important art-history periodicals in Italy. It publishes contributions from a range of authors, often international, on subjects that are predominantly connected to the history and personalities of Verona and the Veneto region. Its editorial committee is composed of Sergio Marinelli and Paola Marini as directors, together with Gino Castiglioni, Alessandro Corubolo and Giorgio Marini. The journal is printed by the Stamperia Valdonega, one of the oldest printing houses in Verona. It is addressed to Italy's Soprintendenze (heritage superintendencies), universities, and "fuori ruolo" contributors outside the institutional roles.
