The Great Museums of the World.
The most authoritative scholars, the spectacular iconography.

Born within the Enlightenment culture as a testimony to the progress of the human spirit, it remains today a dynamic and lively instrument of civilization. Its halls allow a voyage through the geography and history of the Italian and International figurative culture with works ranging in a chronological period extended from the 13th up to 20th century. The text presents the results of the most updated studies on paintings and collections; it includes images and news in light of recent restorations; it reconstructs commissions and origins of the works and the way in which they arrived here; it specifies technical data as well as introducing comments and deepenings. Moreover, the large illustrative apparatus induces continuos comparisons, and preludes to new explorations.
