A COLLECTION of Ten Catalogs of Photographs of Art issued Between 1920 
and 1929 by Istituto di Edizioni Artistiche I.D.E.A. -

Published in Florence: 1920-1929.

DISCUSSION: The famous Italian art photography firm Istituto di Edizioni 
Artistiche I.D.E.A. was founded as a public company in 1920 by Vittorio 
Alinari, and was a natural progression from the family business begun by 
his uncle Leopoldo Alinari in Florence in 1854. The three Alinari 
brothers- Leopoldo, Joseph and Romauld had been pioneers in the business 
of selling stock photographs of art and artistic monuments, starting 
with a single photographer and eventually developing one of the largest 
libraries of original images in the world, experimenting with new 
methods of reproduction as they were developed, and winning a gold medal 
at the Paris World Exhibition in 1889.

These stock catalogs listed the images available for specific regions of 
Italy. Abruzzi e Puglie (1920) - Lazio (1926) - L'Emilia, I: Bologna II: 
Citta Minori (1926, 1927) - Marche (with Correzioni sheet, dated 1928) - 
Umbria (1929) - Rome, I: Le Chiese (1927), II: Gallerie e Musei (1928), 
III: Case, Palazzi, Torri e Ville (1929), IV: Monumenti di Roma Antica 
(1929).
