Abstract (en)

Analyzes restrictions imposed on the one hand by the Comune of Prato, which proposed to build a pilgrimage church to house a miraculous image of the Virgin, and on the other by the Florentine magistracy, which was concerned with the military sensitivity of the site, upon the committee appointed to choose the design for the church; concludes that Giuliano da Maiano's project was abandoned because it was too close to the castle, that the project was much larger than hitherto suspected, and that Lorenzo de' Medici was involved less in the aesthetic aspect of the project than in the resolution of the dispute.
