Published in an oversized, horizontal format (13.5x9.5"), this volume presents color plates of Pinelli's illustrative watercolors. The value of his works comes from the church facades and some
commercial establishments he depicted with great accuracy as the backdrop for his light-hearted scenes. A catalogue of the buildings concludes the volume. Both the catalogue and the brief
introduction by Maria Elisa Tittoni, a curator for the Museo di Roma, are in Italian. The volume is distributed in the U.S. by International Publishers Marketing (IPM). Annotation 穢2010 Book
