463 pages : colour illustrations ; 29 cm. in Italian. 'A fine volume, available exclusively in Italian, dedicated to the Pope's liturgical vestments preserved in the Papal Sacristy. The author analyses the importance of vestments and the solemn ritual of investiture, and illustrates in detail the robes of all the popes who have succeeded over the last four centuries, from 1600 to 2000, paying special attention to the evolution of style. The first two chapters explain everyday robes and those used in liturgical celebrations, the meaning of the colours, and the relationship between popes and artisans, especially weavers and embroiderers; these are followed by a catalogue of vestments divided by papacy. Each section begins with the biography of the pope, and offers detailed art-historical descriptions of the various types of robes he wore - gowns, mozzettas, stoles, skullcaps, capes and shoes - as well as detailed informative notes on location, cataloguing, measurements, state of conservation and, above all, an exhaustive analysis of the embroidery. The volume is richly illustrated with numerous colour photographs and splendid details enabling a close-up view of the fabrics and in particular the embroidery, highlighting its preciousness and beauty.'

Tweets and the Streets analyses the culture of the new protest movements of the 21st century. From the Arab Spring to the 'indignados' protests in Spain and the Occupy movement, Paolo Gerbaudo examines the relationship between the rise of social media and the emergence of new forms of protest. Gerbaudo argues that activists' use of Twitter and Facebook does not fit with the image of a 'cyberspace' detached from physical reality. Instead, social media is used as part of a project of re-appropriation of public space, which involves the assembling of different groups around 'occupied' places such as Cairo’s Tahrir Square or New York’s Zuccotti Park. An exciting and invigorating journey through the new politics of dissent, Tweets and the Streets points both to the creative possibilities and to the risks of political evanescence which new media brings to the contemporary protest experience.
