Publisher Description Close your eyes and recall an Italian cityscape to mind and it's most likely that a grand palazzo will dominate the view. From Milan in the north to Palermo in the south, these majestic buildings have forever formed such an important part of the architectural and cultural spirit of the cities they grace. And this book is your ticket inside those imposing walls to enjoy the opulence and mysteries therein.Massimo Listri, whose previous work took us through the great wooden portals, spiral staircases and shelf-lined corridors of the world's most famous libraries, now invites us into the most magnificent and significant of Italy's palaces. Each of these beautifully designed and crafted private palaces exudes its own stories of power, wealth, art and culture - and you can explore their glorious corridors and uncover every secret of their colorful past. These stunning palaces cover a range of architectural styles, from the fortified Medieval walls right through to the ornate baroque and rococo designs of the late 18th-century. With an important introduction by Robert Stalla, the scholarly historian of Italian architecture, Listri's perfectly poised images capture not only the architectural grandeur of each palace, but also the unique atmosphere created in each over time by the lives and tastes of their occupants. Meander at your leisure though richly-storied pasts, via meticulous descriptions of the palazzo Te a Mantua, palazzo Medici Riccardi and palazzo Pitti in Florence, palazzo Barberini, palazzo Farnese, palazzo Qurinale and others in Rome, as well as Palermo's unforgettable palazzo Butera.The visual and narrative power of this journey is simply testament to the ever-enduring allure of these timeless spaces, where past and present converge in a celebration of art and architecture, history and heritage, beauty and knowledge. In short, it's a magical journey through styles and stories that make this collection a joy to experience - one that's impossible to forget.

Like new condition, safe packaging, good communication from seller. Fair price for the quality. Shipping was on time, but tracking information took over a week to receive. The book was as-described with minor cosmetic flaws (indentations in some pages, for example). I wish the listings showed the actual item being sold to you instead of just an accurate stock photo. This edition and appearance of George Orwell's 1984 here is a nice pocket-sized hardcover. I would buy from this shop again.
The two new out-of-print books I ordered were exactly as described and shipped promptly. I did ask the seller's support person (an AI chatbot, I think) to be sure to package the items carefully, and "he" said that he'd make that request of the shipping department. I knew this was hooey, and as I expected, the books were shipped in nothing but a padded paper mailer, no other protection. I got lucky, no damage, but don't bother making special requests of this seller.
Lightning fast shipping. Item arrived before the delivery date, perfect. Item arrived carefully packaged and was exactly as described. Very pleased. Great communication throughout the process. Very attentive to detail and responsive. Will buy from again! Had a small issue with the item, but the seller resolved it quickly. Great customer service! The seller went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my purchase. Highly recommended!
