Why is this book important?
A major figure in 19th-century Italian architecture, Alessandro Antonelli is best known for his masterpiece: the Mole Antonelliana in Turin, now home to the National Cinema Museum.
This exceptional work traces the career of the Piedmontese architect who revisited the great tradition of domes (from Brunelleschi to the 19th century) by bringing an innovative constructive approach, blending structural necessity with unprecedented architectural expressiveness. Antonelli thus finds himself at the heart of the debate between the academic tradition of Fine Arts and scientific modernity that swept across Europe.
Highlights of the edition:
– Electa edition (1995), a definitive edition
– Large hardcover art book format
– Presented in its publisher’s slipcase
– ISBN: 9788843528486
Ideal for lovers of 19th-century architecture, Turin enthusiasts, those passionate about the Mole Antonelliana, and the history of domes.
