A sure sign that interest in the past is not fading is the preponderance of books, events and exhibits on the myriad themes centred around humanist art and architecture. As an independent site, we do not have the means to pay for articles published but we are keen to become a lively forum of opinions and discussion and with this objective in mind, we invite contributors to use our venue to publish their work. The categories are as set out in this index and we would also welcome reviews of all activities centered around humanist art and architecture. Letters are always welcome and must be addressed to our muse, Poliphilo.
