This volume showcases a range of antiques, from small works of art to rare decorative objects to precious period furniture, housed in some of the most extraordinary private residences in Italy. The homes of princes, scholars, antiquarians, professors, and magnates are presented in over two hundred images taken by architectural photographer Mario Ciampi during the last twenty years. The residences range in scale from magnificent grand palazzi, like the Museo Mario Praz in Rome, home to an extraordinary collection of 1,200 pieces of furniture, marble, bronze, silver, and crystal works of art, to more modest homes like that of the renowned art historian Frederico Zeri, who possesses a priceless collection of Roman epigraphs and a vast art and photography library. Echoing the pictorial images in venerable illustrated volumes on interior design, the photographs in Antiques in Italian Interiors depict intriguing objects and decor and capture the atmosphere and character of each residence. Alongside these striking images are essays by Roberto Valeriani exploring the relationship between the antiques and the spaces that house them.

303 pages, 200 full-color illustrations, 10 in. x 13 in. Hardcover.
