Italian Art Collection
The Italian Art Collection at the Alexander Turnbull Library includes books and museum catalogues mostly in Italian.
Italian books and catalogues
The Italian Art Collection is made up of 171 titles, mostly relating to major Italian artists and principally published in Italy during the 1950s.
The collection also includes Italian museum catalogues. Most of the books are in Italian. It is part of the Turnbull Named Collections.
This collection is largely of unknown provenance; however, some of the books were donated by the Italian government to New Zealand in 1958.
