Per l'arte fiorentina : dialoghi critici, 1875-1895
An 1895 Florentine art criticism collection by Pietro Franceschini, published in Firenze by A. Ciardi, held by the Getty Research Institute, with plates of Renaissance and Gothic architecture drawn or photographed for scholarly discussion. The pictures are architectural: a rusticated facade elevation with arched niches, a Gothic spire compared beside a close photograph of carved stonework, and a dome and facade section with small detail studies, offering designers ready examples of ornamental arcade rhythm, classical niche spacing and Florentine façade composition.
