L'arte nel Biellese

Roccavilla, A · 1905 · Biella, Allara · 38 pictures

L'arte nel Biellese is a 1905 Italian art history survey by A. Roccavilla, published in Biella by Allara, covering the art of the Biella region of Piedmont for a general readership of scholars and collectors. Its photographs record frescoes, an altar with a painted panel, and architectural views of vaulted arcades and interiors, mostly in black and white halftone with captions in Italian. A designer might take from them the layered compositions of Renaissance fresco lunettes, the ornate tiered architecture of altarpieces, and the strong arched geometry of cloister and portico views.
