The articles in "Patronage, Gender & the Arts in Early Modern Italy" celebrate the work and legacy of Carolyn Valone, professor of Art History, teacher, mentor and friend to many. Valone's publications on "matrons as patrons" and "pie donne" became influential, ground-breaking work in the 1990s. Her continuing research on women as patrons of art and architecture has pioneered a methodological approach that many scholars have followed. Contributions include: Katherine A.
