A new book on Italian Decorations, 1784 - 1900

[Elmar Lang]

Hello,

for all the colleagues interested in this field of phaleristic, I can announce that the new edition of A. Brambilla's book "Le Medaglie Italiane degli ultimi 200 Anni" (The Italian Medals from the past 200 years) was finally published.

The first edition, appeared in the '80s, is now completely revised and illustrated in colour with detailed pictures of the original pieces, on nearly 600 pages.

I can say that this is the best book now available on the subject, prepared in more than a decade of new research in archives and collections, either public or private ones.

The book is written in Italian, but the author says that an English edition will be prepared too.

Best wishes,

E.L.
