'Rinascimento privato'. The Adventures of a Renaissance Sculpture: Antonio Minello's Apollo from Padua to Rome and Vienna, Milano, Walter Padovani, 2019

Il testo presenta un rilievo raffigurante Apollo attribuibile allo scultore padovano Antonio Minello. Ne discute l'attribuzione in relazione con le altre opere dello scultore; discute la genealogia e la fortuna del genere dei rilievi all'antica veneti e studia la complessa vicenda collezionistica di questo pezzo, attestato nel Seicento in collezione Patrizi a Roma e passato poi nella collezione del conte Stroganoffe in quella di Camillo Castiglioni

From the late 1st century BC to the first half of the 3rd century AD the Sanctuary of Apollo at Hierapolis saw a succession of various building projects. The recent architectural studies of the temples and porticoes and the archaeometric analyses provided an opportunity to study, in a diachronic perspective, the stone procurement strategies for these various building programmes. The use of freshly carved local marbles, the role of the Marmar Tepe and Thiounta quarries and the hypothetical existence of a number of separate work lots in the Augustan and Julio-Claudian period are discussed. For the 2nd and 3rd century phases, new trends, such as the use of coloured and imported column shafts and the increasing importance of the re-use of older blocks, are highlighted.

This paper suggested the possibility that a small terracotta head in the British Museum (GR 1852.1-12.4) might belong to the terracotta statue of Latona holding the young Apollo, an acroterion from the ridge of the Portonaccio temple in Veii. Subsequent display of the two works of art together in Leiden, however, demonstrated that the head is slightly too large for the body of young Apollo.
