A firm, square copy bound in the publisher’s original cloth, retaining the striking pictorial dust jacket, which is now housed in a clear protective sleeve. The jacket shows moderate wear typical with age, including minor rubbing and chipping to the extremities, and light surface soiling with toning to the white rear panel. A small paper reference label is neatly affixed to the lower spine. Internally, the volume is thoroughly clean and bright, with crisp pages and a secure, tight text block completely free from foxing or heavy handling marks. A highly presentable, well-preserved example. Catalogue Note: First Edition of this comprehensive survey, presenting a definitive look at Italy’s modern sculptural heritage. The volume is notably well-illustrated, featuring 119 fine photographic reproductions, 46 of which are striking full-colour plates, that capture the texture and scale of the twentieth century's most significant works. Though the text is entirely in Italian, the extensive, high-quality plates ensure the book remains an indispensable and accessible visual reference for international collectors and art historians. This edition is fairly common on the secondary market, though copies preserving the original dust jacket in robust, intact condition are increasingly desirable. A visually stunning and authoritative exploration of Italy's dynamic
