Theorized by artists such as Filippo Brunelleschi and Leon Battista Alberti, Italian Renaissance architecture adapted Greco- Roman architectonic forms to the churches, palaces and villas of its own era and profoundly influenced the styles and trends of following centuries, throughout Europe and in other parts of the world. Arranged by structural type, major architects and geography, and richly documented with contemporary plans and drawings and modern photographs, this is a magnificent survey of 100 Renaissance buildings.
