  <dc:description xmlns:ns0="xml" ns0:lang="en">This article offers a fresh reading of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century architecture in  Russia based on methodological  assumptions that scholarly debate has rarely taken into account. First of all, the  Council of Ferrara and Florence (1437–1439)  is considered an important starting point for the renewal of architectural discourse in  Russia. Secondly, the Italian contribution  to the so-called Russian Renaissance is evaluated by taking into account the different  backgrounds of the individual architects  due to their varying provenance (Bologna, Venice, Tuscany). The study analyses four  important religious buildings in or near  Moscow: the cathedrals of the Dormition (1475) and of the Archangel (1505–1508) in  the Kremlin, the church of the Ascension  in Kolomenskoye (1532), and the cathedral of the Intercession of the Mother of God  on the Moat (or Saint Basil, 1555–1561).  These churches share some common features: they were the result of the patronage  of Russian rulers and were designed by  Italian architects. In fact, on account of an eighteenth-century source that has been  neglected so far, together with stylistic  analysis, this article proposes that Saint Basil can be attributed to a group of  architects that included an Italian master.  Therefore, all these buildings are interesting cases in which foreign architects  attempted to match local needs, each time  adopting a different balance between local 'antiquity' and formal solutions drawn from  their own store of knowledge.</dc:description>
