Summary:

"The rich architectural legacy of the Angevins, three generations of French kings who reigned in southern Italy from 1266 to 1343, is little known today. This book examines Angevin religious architecture, which dominates Naples and many other southern Italian cities, by bringing to light for the first time the novelty and importance of these buildings, while extending current understanding of the broad variety of medieval architecture beyond the well-known cathedrals of France and England."
"Illustrated with some two hundred photographs and reconstruction drawings of cathedrals, monasteries, and other monuments, this volume sets Angevin architecture in the larger context of thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Europe, while underscoring the unique character of the buildings constructed by the French kings of Naples."--Jacket.
