| Summary |
Among the capitals of Europe, Rome is unequaled in architectural riches and variety and yearly draws a stream of scholars as well as tourists who seek information about the city's monuments and buildings.This new guide reproduces in facsimile the plates from Itinerario figurato degli edifici più rimarchevoli di Roma by Giovanni Battista Cipriani, published in Rome in several parts between 1835 and 1837. Superbly printed, it includes one hundred plates with a total of seven hundred thirty elevations, floor plans, sections, and site plans of ancient monuments, churches, bridges, fountains, public and private buildings of architectural significance-all exceedingly carefully and skillfully executed engravings. For architects and architecture students this will be invaluable as a practical guide for architectural tours of Rome, as a reference work, and as a source book. It is a stunningly handsome record of the architectural heritage of Rome and directory to the endlessly varied fabric of the city. -- from book jacket |
