Description
Discover a country that everyone will fall in love with!
This cultural guide, filled with photographs, is a celebration of the Italian spirit, a millennia of culture, and the joy of life. Espresso and prosecco, fashion and art, sun-drenched landscapes and the charm of cities – this is Italy. The book will take you through a vibrant mosaic that makes Italy a global cultural powerhouse – from Renaissance masters to contemporary film directors, from opera arias to street singers, from sophisticated fashion to fragrant markets. The thematically organized chapters delve into history, nature, local cuisine, social life, fashion, design, art, and culture – while showing how these areas intertwine.
The book will introduce you to iconic UNESCO monuments, Renaissance masterpieces, and ancient ruins, but it will also take you into the shadows of Sicilian volcanoes, among the vineyards of Piedmont, or onto the mountain trails of the Dolomites. It will reveal how pizza was created or why Italians love the piazza, showing what "la dolce vita" means in everyday life, from the Italian family table to the catwalks of Milan. It brings closer giants like Dante, Caravaggio, or Fellini, as well as the artisanal perfection of Italian tailors, designers, or winemakers. With a sense of humor and expertise…
