LE SETTE MERAVIGLIE DEL MONDO | I EDIZ. 1989 | CLAYTON - PRICE

In Le Sette Meraviglie del Mondo, the authors Peter A. Clayton and Martin J. Price offer a richly illustrated and scholarly account of the seven canonical wonders of the ancient world. Through detailed chapters, the book explores the architecture, engineering, artistry and cultural significance of the monuments—from the Grande Piramide di Giza to the Faro di Alessandria—placing them in their historical, geographic and symbolic frameworks. The writing combines archaeology, history of art, and classical studies, and includes an appendix of ancient sources (a cura di Carlo Carena) that enhances its value for researchers and serious readers. The Italian edition distinguishes itself by the translation and editorial care of the first edition (London 1988) into Italian (1989).
