Abstract (en)

Brief discussion of recent literature on the stucco decoration of the Casino of Pius IV (Rome, Vatican), designed by Pirro Ligorio; particularly, disputes Loren Partridge's moralizing approach and his interpretation of the decoration in terms of the Catholic Church and its Counter-Reformation preoccupations.
