How did religion colour daily life in the Italian Renaissance home? Peering into the privacy of family rites of passage -- childbirth, marriage, and death -- the authors expose patterns of piety that helped individuals to confront both the dangers and delights of everyday life, using such material objects as books, artworks, jewellery, and relics.
