Description

Following up on his "World Architecture Index" (Greenwood Press, 1991), Edward Teague applies his research and organizational skills to provide detailed coverage and easy access to the wealth of architectural landmarks in Italy as illustrated in 80 books widely available in libraries. Citations are provided for illustrations of approximately 1800 works of architecture, engineering, and planning representing most historic periods and styles from prehistoric times to the present. Included are details on exterior and interior views and plans, sections, and elevations. The Site Index organizes the works by location and indicates date, architect, and information on the illustrations with coded references to the reproduction sources. Alternative means of access are provided in the Architect, Chronological, Type, and Work indexes. A time-saver for researchers and scholars seeking to examine illustrations of specific buildings and monuments, this volume should also serve as a complete reference source for travellers, students, and other library patrons seeking clarification of names, locations, architects, dates, and types of architectural works in Italy.
