Volte e soffitti italiani
Volte e soffitti italiani is a 1917 Milan survey of Italian vaulted and coffered ceilings by the art historian Arduino Colasanti, published by Bestetti & Tumminelli for architects and decorative artists. The plates show Roman Renaissance and later ceilings photographed straight on, with stucco, grotesque ornament, coffering and painted or carved panels that a designer could draw on for pattern, geometry and ceiling layout.
