With "Masterpieces of Italian Art", Maria Laura Della Croce celebrates the creative power of Italy through the ages, in the fields of architecture, sculpture and painting. The text is separated into two parts: the first "a genius for portraiture", is a celebration of human image in renaissance art; the second part "the appeal of the scared" is an artistic endeavour expressed in the fabric of Italian churches. The text is illustrated in full colour with 148 photographs, 54 double page spreads and also features one 12 page fold-out of Michelangelo's ceiling for the Sistine Chapel.
