You may ask for an estimate for a digital copy only for those photographs which the Centro Internazionale di Studi di Architettura A. Palladio has the usage rights. For the rest of the photographs you may ask for information on who to contact to acquire them.
According to Italian law to use a copy it may be necessary to obtain the consent of the curator of the work of art. The procedures to obtain this concession are the sole responsibility of the user of the copy. The CISA does not have any responsibility concerning the need for a contact between the user and the curator of the work.
Orders can be placed with a request for an estimate that lists the material desired and purpose of the order.
The director of the photographic library shall make the estimate and authorize all orders.
For each photograph selected by clicking on its icon will be added to your shopping basket, all the items in the virtual shopping basket and available may then be forwarded for an estimate. Once the selection has been completed, you can go to the “processing orders” section to apply for an estimate. To complete the request it will be necessary to specify the use of the photographs (e.g. for study or publication) if for publication specify the characteristics of the publication in which the images will appear (e.g. number of copies, price, language and country of publication).
Estimates may be requested by e-mail to fototeca@cisapalladio.org or by fax at the number +390444 322869.
The available photographs are distributed solely in a high resolution electronic format available (tif RGB 24 bit, about 30 cm at 300 dpi). For images in a higher quality format you have to contact the photographic library directly.
