Summary:

"Italian Architecture of the 16th Century is the last published work of the renowned Colin Rowe, the fruit of his four-year collaboration with former student Leon Satkowski. The book is a testament to the buildings, architects, and artists Rowe deeply appreciated. For the millions who travel to Italy to see the art and architecture of the sixteenth century - places that captured Rowe's heart and challenged his fertile mind - this book will be a pleasurable read as much as it is a pinnacle of critical scholarship."
"Italian Architecture is written in an engaging personal style, discussing architecture in historical and contemporary terms. It emphasizes the leading subjects of the sixteenth-century Renaisssance: the architects (Bramante, Vignola), the patrons (Leo X, Cosimo I de Medici), the artists (Michelangelo, Raphael), and the cities (Rome, Venice, Florence). The book is beautifully illustrated with photographs, drawings, and paintings. An engaging history and the finest critique of cinquecento Italy, Italian Architecture is destined to be one of Rowe's most important publications."--Jacket.
