Description

This series brings together a number of volumes dedicated to the most beautiful areas of Italy. These books boast impressive pictorial documentation but also provide readable texts with accurate information. The two new volumes for 2001 explore the heart of the peninsula - Campania, a joyous land of sun in which the beauty of the landscapes sculpted by the mighty volcanoes is married to the richness of the region's ancient history; Emilia-Romagna, an ancient and noble region, seas calm and rich in fish and fascinating, opulent cities of art. Oscillating between past and present, history and modern-day life and free of the usual clichès, these books offer readers vivid, original portraits of two Italy's best-loved regions.
