As one of Australia’s leading architects, David Holm is passionate about drawing, the built environment and Italy. These three passions are brought together in Drawing Italy, a beautiful and intelligent guide book to the architecture of Italy.
In Drawing Italy, David guides us through Etruscan, Roman, Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassicism, through to Fascist, Modernist and stunning contemporary architecture.
Based on David’s extensive travel in Italy, his drawings and observations on Italian life and architecture are remarkable for their detail and charm.
