    Description

    Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding

    In the publisher's original green cloth binding.

    First published in 1915 by the same publishing house, this copy is a later reprint. 

    Illustrated with 192 monochrome photographic plates by the Fratelli Alinari photographic firm.

    Fratelli Alinari is one of the world's oldest photographic firms, with the original founder being joined by his brothers to establish 'Fratelli Alinari Fotografi Editori', which focussed on photographing Italian monuments, sculptures, paintings and architecture. Collated complete. 

    This work was put together and written by Arduino Colasanti, an Italian Renaissance scholar and the general director of the Department of Antiquity and Fine Arts in Rome.

    This collection of photography depicts a range of beautiful and intricate ceilings and vaults, showcasing the beauty in Italian architecture.
