During the nineteenth century in Rome, three generations of the Castellani family created what they called “Italian archaeological jewelry,” which was inspired by the precious Etruscan, Roman, Greek, and Byzantine antiquities being excavated at the time. The Castellani jewelry consisted of finely wrought gold that was often combined with delicate and colorful mosaics, carved gemstones, or enamel. This magnificent book is the first to display and discuss the jewelry and the family behind it. International scholars discuss the life and work of the Castellani, revealing the wide-ranging aspects of the family’s artistic and cultural activities. They describe the making and marketing of the jewelry, the survey collection of all periods of Italian jewelry on display in the Castellani’s palatial store, and the Castellani’s activities in the trade of antiquities, as they sponsored excavations, and restored, dealt, and exhibited antiques. They also recount the family’s involvement in the cultural and political life of their city and country.

"Highly prized for its brilliance, colour and value, the special qualities of gold make it suitable for many purposes: not only does it resist corrosion and reflect light, but gold can be beaten into a leaf so thin is is translucent, and a single gram can be drawn to make a fine wire kilometers long. Filled with beautiful illustrations of golden objects from the rich collection of the British Museum, this book will appeal to all those who have ever worn, admired or coveted gold." --Book Jacket.
