Six hundred and forty pages of frescoes, marble, and gilded salons, photographed palazzo by palazzo from Milan to Palermo.
Massimo Listri: Italian Palaces is Taschen's XXL tour of the grand residences that shaped Italian architecture and taste over the centuries. Florentine photographer Massimo Listri, known for his calm, symmetrical studies of libraries, museums, and historic interiors, turns his lens on palazzi ranging from fortified medieval buildings to the lavish Baroque and Rococo rooms of the late 18th century.
The journey includes Palazzo Te in Mantua, Palazzo Medici Riccardi and Palazzo Pitti in Florence, Palazzo Barberini, Palazzo Farnese, and the Quirinale in Rome, and Palazzo Butera in Palermo. An introduction by Italian architecture historian Robert Stalla sets out the history behind the painted ceilings, grand staircases, and art collections you see on the page. Printed at 11.4 by 15.6 inches, the format lets each room read almost at life scale.
