This volume, produced on the occasion of the exhibition at the Scuderie del Quirinale yet conceived as a standalone work, is one of the most important publications on the art and culture of ancient Egypt currently available in the Italian language. Edited by Zahi Hawass, the most renowned living Egyptologist, the catalogue brings together over 130 masterpieces-many previously unpublished or rarely exhibited-on loan from Egypt's leading museums and archaeological sites.
