Lezioni sul mosaico - Gino Severini's book - 1996 edition


update: SOLD

A few days ago if you tried to buy Lezioni sul Mosaico by Gino Severini you would have across nothing. It wasn't available online. The book is now available. It's my very own book I bought about 16-17 years ago. Since I don't need it anymore and really need to make space for new books I decided to sell it.

To buy click HERE.
