- Summary
- "During the nineteenth century in Rome, three generations of the Castellani family created what they called "Italian archaeological jewelry," which was inspired by the precious Etruscan, Roman, Greek, and Byzantine antiquities being excavated at the time. The Castellani jewelry consisted of finely wrought gold that was often combined with delicate and colorful mosaics, carved gemstones, or enamel. This book is the first to display and discuss the jewelry and the family behind it."--BOOK JACKET.
