Il mobile a Roma: il Settecento
Auteur(s) : Alvar González-Palacios
A continuation of the volume Il mobile a Roma dal Rinascimento al Barocco published in 2022, this new work by Alvar González-Palacios offers an overview of the history of Roman furniture from the late sixteenth to the early eighteenth century. Archival and bibliographical research has been carried out here with greater ease than in previous periods, not least because the archives of the period are far more numerous and accessible, and many more pieces of furniture from the century closest to our own still exist.
The photographic apparatus includes more than 500 reproductions, the result of a vast photographic campaign specially carried out for this book, as well as a series of historical illustrations from the author's personal archives compiled over the last fifty-five years.
