- Summary:
- It was decided to narrow the focus of the fourth conference to hand-made terracotta roof decorations in temples in ancient Central Italy, Campania and Magna Graecia, and Sicily. Among the topics are identifying terracotta bird-women in Central Italy, the winged horses on the Ara della Regina temple at Tarquinia, architectural terracottas from the Sanctuary of the Dolphins on Monte Pallano, the sanctuary to the west of the Santa Venera, and a new reconstruction of an acroterial statue of young Apollo from Veii. Nine of the 61 papers are in English, the rest in Italian. There is no index. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
