Spoleto...
A 1920 photographic survey of art in Spoleto, Italy, published in Bergamo by the Istituto italiano d'arti grafiche and written by Carlo Bandini for readers interested in Italian art and architecture. Its plates are black-and-white photographs of frescoes, carved reliefs and a stone fireplace, showing saints in arched frames, figures against landscape backgrounds, and ornamented stonework. A designer could take from them the compositional logic of Renaissance altarpieces, with a central figure flanked by saints under a semicircular lunette, and the decorative carving of architectural details.
