Italy's Palazzi: the power and the glory
Discover the histories and the treasures of Italy's greatest palatial gems

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.
