A Casket of Learning by Gianfranco Malafarina photography by Massimo Listri Faithful to that spirit of tolerance which, together with immense learning, has always characterised the industrious and studious order of the saint from Norcia, the Benedictine Library of Admont, in Styria, is reminiscent of a precious rocaille casket holding a panoply of acts and prayers, treasures of biblical exegesis, ponderous treatises by interpreters, commentators and scholiasts of the divine word; but it has also preserved the flower of sacred and profane classical thought for posterity, "ut in omnibus glorificetur Deus", in order that God may be glorified in all things.

Souvenirs from Barbados by Noel Riley photography by Danila Garavaglia After crossing the storm-tossed Atlantic on creaking sailing boats or the first wheezy steamships, the British sailors who landed on the island of Barbados, restored by a glass of good rum, went in search of some small memento to take back to the girl-friends, mothers and sisters gathered in tremulous expectation around the home-fires awaiting their return. To fulfil these tender requirements, a craft tradition of valentines made up of shells grew up, marine mosaics whose briny tang w to remind those left at home of the enduring affections of the absent toilers of the deep.

Impossible Cities by Alessandra Borgogelli with a text by Gustave Flaubert photography by Massimo Listri With the unflagging fantasy of Italo Calvino, and a wayward archaeological learning all his own, the painter Antonio Basoli (1774-1848) produced a series of canvases forming a sort of imaginary urbanistic encyclopedia of the ancient and modern worlds, creating dream versions of Carthage and Delhi, Piraeus and Thebes, Mexico and Rhodes in the form of tumultuous accretions of titanic buildings, with snaking crowds of fearsome priests and delectable vestals processing among them.

Warrior's Rest by Gianni Guadalupi photography by Araldo De Luca Twelve Grand Masters of the Hospitaller and Military Order of St. John sleep their last in the crypt of the cathedral of Valletta in Malta. They ruled the island from 1530 to 1623, during a fraught and dangerous century, a time of battles and vendettas between the Cross and the Crescent. This gloomy pantheon, holding the illustrious corpses of these bellicose monks, is also a doleful subterranean anthology of mannerist and baroque funerary art.

Chinoiserie in the Boudoir by Silvana Musella Guida, Nicola Spinosa photography by Luciano Romano, Indulging with regal exaggeration in the triumphant eighteenth-century fashion for chinoiserie, Maria Amalia of Saxony, the consort of Charles de Bourbon, king of Naples, had a glittering drawing room entirely in porcelain, from walls to floors to fittings, incorporated into her private apartment at Portici. This was the masterpiece of the Real Fabbrica di Capodimonte (Royal Factory of Capodimonte), of which King Charles was so proud that, when he left Naples to don the crown of Spain, he took it with him, lock, stock and barrel. This article pays tribute to those expert craftsmen and to the museum in Capodimonte, where the queen's "Chinese" boudoir can now be seen.
