Urbino. Con 119 illustrazioni e 1 tavola.
Urbino is a 1912 Italian art and travel book by Giuseppe Lipparini, published in Bergamo by the Istituto italiano d'arti grafiche for readers interested in the Renaissance town of Urbino. The photographic plates show a brick palace doorway with a pedimented frame, an arched window with carved stone surrounds, a frieze of foliate scrollwork with grotesque masks and heraldic shields, and a marble fireplace with putti and a relief band. A designer could draw on their classical ornament, carved stonework and symmetrical architectural framing.
