Spring 2023:  Lombardia:  The Other Renaissance

"A prosperous and industrious Duchy, a culture presided over by a brilliant court; Francesco Filefo, who dominated the intellectual life of Milan until his death in 1481, which coincided with the ascendancy of Ludovico Il Moro, the latter together with his wife Beatrice d'Este, aspired to make Milan the Athens of Itay, attracting many literary and artistic figures. The three Solari (Giovanni, Gianforte, Pietro) influenced, in the Tuscan stye of Brunelleschi, Filarete, Michelazzo, the works of Bramante, Cristofo Mantegazzo--another Lombard artist--and created this little-known Renaissance" 
                      --From the 1958 review of Giovanni Treccani's classic Storia di Milano
