The Fototeca Regionale has almost 6,500 photographic reproductions of prints belonging to the Fondazione Giorgio Cini.
They include over 900 photographs documenting the Collection of Etchings by Giovanni Battista and Francesco Piranesi, acquired by the Institute of Art History in the 1960s.
The remaining phototypes are of woodcuts from the Renaissance Illustrated Books Collection put together by Vittorio Cini and kept in Monselice Castle; the Renaissance collection subsequently became part of the Foundation's Antique Book Collection.
The photographic campaign was carried out between 1978 and 1979 with the assistance of photographers commissioned by the Foundation.
The entries for almost 2,800 woodcuts from over 400 incunabula and cinquecentine (early 16th-century printed books) in the Fondazione Cini can now be viewed by consulting the online catalogue.
