Synopsis
From secret collections and from Royal residences, a high point of Italian art
This catalogue of a major exhibition at the palace of Venaria Reale includes more than 130 works from Piedmontese and international museum and private collections, created by the great cabinet-makers of the Court of Savoy: Prinotto, Piffetti, Bonzanigo and Capello (known as Moncalvo). This is a history and dictionary of a period of astonishingly distinguished creativity that blossomed in Turin in the service of the most important royal and aristocratic patrons.
