Being the proceedings of the international conference held in the church of the SS. Annunziata in Siena on 27 and 28 September 2002.
Moving in what had hitherto been fairly unexplored terrain, the conference adopted an interdisciplinary approach to iconographical, stylistic, historical, technical and scientific issues. Thus, taken as a whole, these proceedings make a valuable and in many ways innovative contribution to the interpretation, conservation and enhancement of this crucial monument in the history of Sienese art.
