Italian Baroque and Rococo Architecture by Varriano
From the late 1500s to the mid-1700s, Italy gave the world some of the liveliest and most imaginative structures in the history of architecture. The first comprehensive study in English of this critical period, this well-illustrated book offers chapters on key architects--Gianlorenzo Bernini, Francesco Borromini, Pietro da Cortona, Guarino Guarini--as well as detailed treatments of the work of many less well-known architects who were active from Sicily to Venice.
"A complete and well illustrated survey of the architecture of Italy during this period[Italian Baroque and Rococo Architecture] is readable and clearly written. A good introductory volume on the subject."--James O. Rose, University of Wyoming "Excellent plates and diagrams."--Cristelle Baskins, University of Rochester "Informative yet makes sensitive visual and stylistic comments. Good interrelation of text with images."--Robert Baners, University of Southern Alabama "An exceptionally clear and comprehensive account of its subject..."--Edward Chaney, Times Literary Supplement "Fascinating"--Washington Post "A good, competent survey that will be found useful as an introduction to the history of Italian Baroque architecture....A sensible and handsome addition to the literature." --Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians
