Synopsis

"There may not be any book on architecture so delightful to dip into; one wishes there were a pocket edition to take on an Italian vacation--not only for its information and vision but for such pleasant reminders as that the citizens of Treviso carried Tullio Lombardo's friezes through the town in triumph before they were attached to a building."--D. J. R. Bruckner, "New York Times Book Review"
