Information
Florence, Andrea Bonducci, 1756. In 12th. Woodcut coat of arms of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany on the title page, coeval binding in red Moroccan, rich border with phytomorphic motifs imprinted in gold on the plates, small irons on the back, counterplates covered with embossed and gilded paper, small gaps at the corners and back.
Specialist Notes
This is the description of the Chapel of the Princes in San Lorenzo in Florence. The sumptuous octagonal room was designed by Cosimo I, but its realization is due to his successor Ferdinando I, who commissioned the architect Matteo Nigetti in 1604. The dazzling splendor is given by the very rich inlays in Florentine commesso, for the realization of which it was created the Opificio delle Pietre Stones.
