Villa Albani Torlonia - The Cradle of Neoclassicism (Hardcover)

Villa Albani Torlonia, with its collections, the Italian garden,
and the hemicycle of the Kaffeehaus, is a sublime testimony of that
particular antiquarian taste which came to the fore in the
mid-eighteenth century, that for which Rome became a favourite
destination on the Grand Tour. The classicist dream of Cardinal
Alessandro Albani (1692 1779), was preserved thanks to the Torlonia
family, who purchased the villa in 1866, enlarging the collection
and the gardens and restoring the most important cardinal residence
of the eighteenth century. More than 300 images by the great
Italian master Massimo Listri recount the history of this
extraordinary cultural heritage for the very first time. An
immersive journey leads the reader between its collections of
ancient masterpieces. Statues, bas-reliefs, and fountains are
ensconced between the various buildings and gardens of the villa in
a composition of environments, landscapes, and works of art forever
waiting to be discovered.
