Purchase options and add-ons

A stunning collection of photographs celebrating the excellence of the Italian Renaissance period through palaces and gardens built between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.

The book illustrates nine locations of extraordinary artistic and architectural interest, conceived by prominent Italian families and dynasties as urban villas or country houses centered around the pursuit of entertainment and leisure. These lavishly decorated and frescoed palaces are adorned with handcrafted furniture and works of art and surrounded by gardens that retain their original layout to this day--a very rare feature.

An historical text introduces each property, giving an overview of its origins. The villas have been specially photographed for this book by Dario Fusaro, with views of both the palace interiors and their grounds, as well as the gardens, glimpses of the halls, details of the furnishings, and a focus on the frescoes, where still preserved. Explanatory text offers insights on the most interesting frescoes, such as those of Veronese at Villa Barbaro. For the first time, Fusaro also employs a drone with the purpose of capturing the architectural structure and elements of each Italian Renaissance garden, from above and as a whole.

This all-access volume is essential for fans and readers interested in Italian art, for those who love to travel through Italy in search of places of artistic interest, and for those seeking out green tourist destinations.

I’m big lover of Italian Renaissance and Baroque. This beautiful book gives detailed description of dozen of Italians Renaissance villas. We’d visited couple of them and it very interesting to know more about these amazing architectural gems. Highly recommended.

Encadernação ótima, folhas do livro densas e sem brilho (excelente para visualização das fotografias) e com excelentes fotografias externas das vilas. As imagens priorizam as áreas externas das vilas: fachadas, pátios e jardins, com algumas obras de arte de pintura de paredes internas. Para uma visão geral e referência de disposição arquitetônica das vilas é uma ótima referência. As vilas apresentadas estão na foto anexa a esta avaliação.
