Synopsis
From the neoclassicism of Thomas Jefferson’s design of Monticello and sketches of the White House, to "al’italiana" gardens and parks, to the strong Roman classicism of the Jefferson Memorial, to Constantino Brumidi’s frescoes in Congress and the National Library, to the striking composition of Luigi Moretti’s Watergate Complex—America’s capital is infused with the influences of a culture that laid the foundations of Western society. Extensively illustrated with both archival black and white photos, drawings, and sketches, as well as new photographs by Max Mackenzie, this book is an homage to this strong and still alive relationship and essential reading for all those interested in architecture and the visual arts.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First American Edition. A FIINE, bright, clean, tight copy sans flaws. Text in English, translated from the Italian original. "The pages of this book provide a competent and captivating description of the influence Rome and Italy thus exerted on Washington, D.C. ranging from the shape of its buildings to the actual works which sculptors and painters coming from Italy contributed over the centuries. The story of the Italian imprints, in fact, extends well into our days: from the statues donated to the Lincoln Memorial in the 1950s to the architectural design of the Watergate complex in the 1960s. The new building of the Italian Chancery in Washington is its latest and most appropriate example." PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATED in full color photography (many full or double-page) with accompanying descriptive captions. 213 pages. NOTE: Due to the large size and weight of the book additional shipping cost will be requested/required for OUT-OF-U.S. shipment in accordance with country of destination. GG3.
