L'arte a Città di Castello

Magherini-Graziani, Giovanni · 1897 · Città di Castello, S. Lapi · 26 pictures

An 1897 art and architecture survey of Città di Castello, published locally by S. Lapi and written by Giovanni Magherini-Graziani for readers interested in Italian painting and buildings. Its plates are photographic and line reproductions: a vaulted ceiling bay with painted medallions and grotesques, a carved relief of an enthroned figure, a cross-section of a church interior, and a wreath-framed civic coat of arms. A designer could draw on the dense ornamental framing, the wreath and ribbon heraldry, and the architectural section drawing.
