The gallery was not found!Šipić was joined at the presentation by Franjo Pajrić, representing the publishers, and his long-time collaborator Srđan Nogić. In the focus of this book in two volumes is a topographical analysis and a spatial geometry drawn from this analysis. It is on this basis that Mr Šipić has established a number of matrices on the basis of which, in turn, he says the Mediterranean is spatially organised, with a number of cardinal points. The point of departure for this study is a pictorial map made for the Renaissance period Leopardi family depicting the transfer of the “Loreto House”. Šipić earned his doctorate analysing this depiction. The book promo was accompanied by an exhibition.
