Publication: Milan, Silvana Editoriale d'Arte, 1961

Formatting: 4to, pp. 54, plus 94 leaves of plates.

Condition Report: Very Good. A firm, square copy bound in the publisher’s original cloth, retaining the striking pictorial dust jacket, which is now housed in a clear protective sleeve. The jacket shows moderate wear typical with age, including minor rubbing and chipping to the extremities, and light surface soiling with toning to the white rear panel. A small paper reference label is neatly affixed to the lower spine. Internally, the volume is thoroughly clean and bright, with crisp pages and a secure, tight text block completely free from foxing or heavy handling marks. A highly presentable, well-preserved example.

Catalogue Note: First Edition of this comprehensive survey, presenting a definitive look at Italy’s modern sculptural heritage. The volume is notably well-illustrated, featuring 119 fine photographic reproductions, 46 of which are striking full-colour plates, that capture the texture and scale of the twentieth century's most significant works.

Though the text is entirely in Italian, the extensive, high-quality plates ensure the book remains an indispensable and accessible visual reference for international collectors and art historians. This edition is fairly common on the secondary market, though copies preserving the original dust jacket in robust, intact condition are increasingly desirable.

A visually stunning and authoritative exploration of Italy's dynamic sculptural output during the modern era. Noted art historian Roberto Salvini guides the reader through a transformative period in twentieth-century art, highlighting the profound technical and stylistic innovations of Italy's master sculptors. Lavishly illustrated with over a hundred plates, this work serves as both a critical text and a beautiful gallery in print, celebrating the enduring legacy of modern Italian form.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
