	The first half of the 20th century is a little-considered period in the history of church architecture, yet it produced an extraordinary variety of creative responses to the demands of traditional worship in an industrialized world, from the rich historicism of Art Nouveau to the clean, simple lines of Scandinavian modernism. In this survey, architectural descriptions, illustrated with photographs and plans, are complemented by articles by theologians exploring the ways in which evolving religious belief conditioned the style of the buildings. Bilingual text - German and English.

	From the Palazzo Penne, built in 1409, to the 16th century Palazzo Corigliano with its opulent duke's study, to the eclectic Castello Aselmeyer begun in 1899, Naples is home to a stunning array of grand residences. Lavishly illustrated with photographs by Mark E Smith, this volume introduces 30 such buildings, telling the stories of their owners, occupants and architects, and examining some of the outstanding works of art - such as the Veiled Christ in the Sansevero Chapel and the ceiling frescoes of the Reggia Portici - which they contain.
