The architecture of the Italian Renaissance, theorized by artists such as Filippo Brunelleschi and Leon Battista Alberti, influenced styles and trends of the following centuries throughout Europe and beyond. This volume offers a comprehensive compilation of Italian Renaissnace architecture—richly documented, illustrated, arranged by region, and including a glossary. Art historian Marco Bussagli is a professor at Rome's Fine Arts Academy and has taught as an adjunct professor in the architectural faculty of Romes's La Sapienza Universtiy.
