Famed Florentine photographer Massimo Listri is renowned for his large-scale images of grand, empty historical buildings, drawing out the soul, symmetry and serenity of some of Italy’s most impressive architectural spaces. Following on from his edition on the library, Listri turns his attention to the palazzo in this unmissable hardback by Taschen. From Milan to Palermo, Florence to Rome, the palaces featured in these pages conjure the majesty and spirit of the cities they belong to. Spanning a range of architectural styles across epochs — from fortified Medieval walls to rococo designs of the late 18th-century — each building reveals its own history, grandeur, atmosphere, secrets, and treasures. With an introduction by architectural historian Robert Stalla, 'Massimo Listri. Italian Palaces' is an essential edition for Italophiles, architects, and aesthetes everywhere.
