'La Galleria Farnese' by Silvia Ginzburg

La Galleria Farnese by Silvia Ginzburg
Electa, 2008

Palazzo Farnese is a prominent High Renaissance palace in Rome, which currently houses the French Embassy in Italy. Several main rooms were frescoed with elaborate allegorical programs including a series of frescoes by Annibale Carracci. This book offers the chance to do a sort of "virtual tour" of the gallery.
