Venetian Palazzi

An excellent volume with color photographs, an engraving, and a brief history and description of each of around a couple dozen palazzi. I only wish there were even more photographs and longer and even more detailed desciptions and histories of each palazzo and that many more palazzi were covered. No doubt I am being greedy, as such a work covering all the palazzi would require a gargantuan size or many volumes and only large libraries and millionaires could afford it. I heartily recommend this volume who loves the beautiful and grandly elegant interiors of homes of the Venetian Nobility and the art (Titian to Tiepolo) which graced them, or to anyone planning a trip to the city of the former Serene Republic.

Great Pictures

This book has excellent photography, and the narratives are just as good. I would highly reccomend this book to anyone interested in Italian architecture, design, or furnishings. Although the size of this book is rather large, the pictures are very detailed, and show off the intricacies of every design.
