Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work An Extensive Panorama Of Rome From The Gardens Of The Villa Mellini On Monte Mario by Giovanni Battista Lusieri was sold in the Turin London Corfu The Collection of Giorgio Marsan and Umberta Nasi auction at Christies in London in December 2007. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 120,500.00 (€ 163,739.06), 21% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Giovanni Battista Lusieri - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Panoramic view of Rome from Piazza San Pietro in Montorio on the Janiculum: From Saint Peter's to the Chiesa Nuova with San Giovanni dei Fiorentini and Castel Sant' Angelo, which sold at auction in July 2013 for GBP 481,875.00 (€ 550,626.18).
