About the Author

Andrea Daninos has studied ceroplastic - the art of modelling in wax - for many years. He recently held a course on the subject at the University of Milan and he has edited and annotated the Italian translation of Julius von Schlosser's History of Portraiture in Wax (Milan: Officina Libraria 2011), the seminal book on the argument. Guido Guerzoni teaches Cultural Heritage and Art Markets at the Universita Lugi Bocconi in Milan. His research interests are focused on the cultural and arts markets and his latest book has been translated into English in 2011 (Apollo and Vulcan: The Art Markets in Italy, 1400-1700, Michigan State University Press). Giovanni Ricci is professor of Modern History at the University of Ferrara. He is the author of several books on urban history, the real and perceived presence of the Turks in Europe, marginal strata of society and social mobility, and funereal rites and their political use. Emanuele Trevi is a literary critic and writer. He writes on a number of daily newspapers and has collaborated with RAI-3 Radio, one of Italy's national radio stations. He lives in Rome.
