Bernardo Vittone (1704-1770) was one of the most inventive Architects of the late Italian Baroque. Working in Turin, he created churches, monasteries, nunneries, palazzi and town halls ~ scattered over the historic Duchy of Piedmont. Every one of Vittone's building are highly original, inviting the viewer into 'A World Beyond'.

Over a period of twenty years, Julian Bicknell has visited and photographed over half of these unique buildings, and examined many of Vittone's original drawings and engravings.

In this book he explores Vittone's life and work ~ explaning the architectural and aesthetic agenda, exploring his design methods, and providing previously unrecognised insights into his spatial composition and use of sophisticated geometry.
