The Monuments of Italy: A Regional Encyclopaedia of Art, Architecture and Archaeology from Classical to Modern Times

by Michael Oppenheimer

Italy has the world's richest concentration of archaeological and architectural sites which, with its museums, makes the country the most extraordinary repository of works of art. The Monuments of Italy covers just over 3,500 places and nearly 10,000 objects spread across 95 provinces and is an original work of major importance. It will become the standard English-language reference work on Italy's heritage sites and an essential tool for historians, art historians and travellers.
