Summary: Presented as a companion volume to Anthony Blunt's A Guide to Baroque Rome: the Churches, this new account of the palaces of Baroque Rome presents a synthesis of the extraordinarily rich research that has been taking place over the last twenty years. Not only has archival work elucidated the histories of many of the most important buildings (and shed new light on the many minor treasures of Rome), but extensive work on the function and use of these buildings has transformed the way we understand architecture and society in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century. Laid out as a gazetteer, with extensive illustration and a full apparatus of notes and indexes, this book will be essential reading for the student, the scholar and the traveller alike.
