The Herla project aims at gathering and inventorying documentary materials regarding the spectacular
activities under the patronage of the lords of Mantua, the Gonzaga, in the period when they reached the
zenith of their splendour, i.e. from 1480 until 1630.
Such materials, which at present are scattered throughout European archives (Paris, London, Madrid, Wien,
Munich, Innsbruck, Lyons, Lisbon, etc, as well as the Italian towns which were in touch with the Court of Mantua at the time),
is a great amount of the entire world documentation on Renaissance and Baroque spectacle.
