Hand signed under each image. Excellent condition. In Vedute italiane, Franco Marzilli pays homage to the timeless charm of Italy’s urban and architectural heritage through a harmonious sequence of four cityscapes. Each vignette—rendered with delicate chromatic balance and painterly fluidity—captures the essence of Italian towns bathed in Mediterranean light. Marzilli’s soft tonal palette of ochres, siennas, and warm terracottas evokes the sun-drenched atmosphere of Southern Europe, while his loose, impressionistic handling of form imbues the compositions with both immediacy and lyricism. The viewer is guided through intimate glimpses of piazzas, domes, and bridges, where architecture and landscape merge seamlessly into an evocative meditation on memory and place. This lithograph exemplifies Marzilli’s refined sensibility for color harmonies and architectural rhythm, qualities that link him to the Italian tradition of modern vedutismo. His urban scenes are not merely documentary—they are emotional reconstructions of beauty, resonating with nostalgia and quiet humanism. Condition: Excellent impression in fresh, vibrant colors. Full margins. Very light handling traces at the sheet edges; overall pristine condition. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
