Firenze
This is a 1915 Bergamo art-book on Florence by the Italian art historian Nello Tarchiani, published by the Istituto italiano d'arti grafiche for an art-loving readership. Its photographic plates show Florentine Renaissance sculpture, altarpiece painting and church architecture, with carved marble reliefs in shallow niches, a Madonna and saints enthroned under pointed arches, a richly inlaid marble chapel altar, and a striped Gothic cathedral portal, offering designers examples of classical ornament, framing and inlay pattern.
