This volume is dedicated to Genoese drawings fro the 16th to the 18th century. Genoa was an independent republic, open to trade and with a vigorous economy, and this condition allowed the birth of local art school permeated by a variety of foreign influences presente in the city. The renown of its school soon spread behind its borders and several Genoese painters had important careers in other cities.
