Always gratifying to see a publication on the Renaissance honoured with
a prize. The RIBA announced on 29 May that:
"The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) announced at an awards
ceremony last night, the four winners of the 2008 RIBA International
Book Awards.
"Siena : Constructing the Renaissance City by Fabrizio Nevola (Yale
University Press) won The Sir Nikolaus Pevsner International Book Award
for Architecture. The judging panel said of the book: "This book is the
first complete history of the urban history of Siena, looking at the
city as a whole and the reality between the ideal representation of the
city and the reality."
