Cesare Vecellio's Venetian Costumes

Lucie Skeaping explores traditional dress and custom in late 16th-Century Venice, illustrating various styles with music by Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli.

"Art and Early Music Month."Lucie Skeaping looks at the publishing sensation of the 1590s in Venice: Cesare Vecellio's guide to the dress and customs of the world, and she talks to the book's two translators, Margaret Rosenthal, Professor of Italian at the University of Southern California, and Ann Rosalind Jones, Professor of Comparative Literature at Smith College. The book is the first to depict world costume through history and in addition to the vivid illustrations, it includes a detailed and often amusing social commentary of the habits of people all over the world. Music in the programme includes Carnival music by Giovanni Croce, and works by both Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli.
