controlli: sul testo, sulle immagini e sulle relazioni che si stabiliscono tra essi.
Lʼesperienza suggerisce che è praticamente impossibile pubblicare un libro privo
di errori. Saremo quindi grati ai lettori che vorranno segnalarceli.
Nel caso di eventuali errori od omissioni nelle citazioni delle fonti, la Casa Editrice provvederà, nella prossima edizione, alle rettifiche che verranno comunicate
dagli aventi diritto.
Nei casi in cui non è stato possibile reperire chi potesse concedere il permesso
di riproduzione, si precisa che la Casa Editrice è a disposizione degli aventi diritto.
