Extraordinary images by Mario Ciampi make Antiques in Italian Interiors a unique book. Presented in over two hundred of the best of images made by architectural photographer Mario Ciampi during the last twenty years, each image showcases the marvellous antiques, ranging from small works of art to rare decorative objects to precious period furniture, contained in a variety of extraordinary private residences located in Italy such as the Museo Mario Praz in Rome, home to an extraordinary collection of 1200 pieces of furniture, marble, bronze, silver, and crystal works of art to relatively more modest homes like that of the renowned art historian Frederico Zeri, which contains a priceless collection of Roman epigraphs and a vast art and photography library.
Most of these photographs were being published for the first time at the time of release and the informative essays by Roberto Valeriani explore the relationship between the antiques and the spaces that house them. The text together with the photographs help the reader to understand how each residence can be considered a documentation of Italian taste in relation to history, whether on a large and epic scale or a small private scale.
The interior of book (303 pages) is in super condition, bright and clear with no inscriptions, highlighting or creasing.
