Arduino Berlam describes the history behind Glanzmann?s paintings in this book. Her paintings feature historical architecture in the city of Trieste, Italy before they were demolished as part of a project to improve sanitation and traffic flow. Many of the buildings dated back to ancient Rome and the Middle Ages. Glanzmann?s Impressionistic renditions of narrow alleyways, stair-stepped buildings, and open plazas offer a glance at parts of Trieste that have been significantly changed or exist no more.
