Published in 1971 by Arnoldo Mondadori Editore and written by the noted Italian art historian and journalist Liana Bortolon, this comprehensive volume explores the primary figures and movements of 20th-century Italian art, including Futurism and Metaphysical painting. The book features 221 vibrant color illustrations showcasing works by masters such as Carlo Carrà and Giorgio de Chirico. This specific copy is a rare "Edizione Fuori Commercio" (not for commercial sale), likely intended for private distribution or as a special edition for patrons. It is in very good vintage condition, featuring a robust black cloth-bound cover with crisp silver lettering and a well-preserved pictorial inlay; the interior pages remain bright and clean, showing only the lightest natural toning consistent with its age.
