This monograph is about cultural ties between Russia and Italy that started in the Petrine epoch. St. Petersburg was largely built by Italian architects. Peter the Great was the first collector of Italian paintings, tapestries, and sculptures. Later many of the Russian nobility collected the work of Italian artists. This book tells the story of these cultural contacts, traces the history of these works, and contains some correspondence between customers and artists. Includes 93 black-and white and 18 color illustrations.
