Italy is a
country synonymous with style and beauty in all aspects of life: the rich
history of Rome, Renaissance art of Florence, graceful canals of Venice, high
fashion of Milan, signature pasta alla bolognese of Bologna, colorful
architecture of Portofino and winking blue waters of Capri and the Amalfi
Coast, among many others. Italians themselves live effortlessly amid all this
splendor, knowing instinctively just the type of outfit to throw on, design
element to balance, or delectable ingredient to add.
Daria Reina and
Andrea Ferolla, sensitive and often nostalgic lovers of their home country,
take readers on a tour of an Italian’s Italy, off the main roads traversed by
tourists and onto hidden side streets or off the grid altogether, to corners
lesser known but filled to bursting with the quintessential details that define
timeless Italian style. See the Sassi cave dwellings etched into the
mountainside of Matera; admire the red-orange walls characteristic of the
Emilia-Romagna region; and examine the carved birds at Sorrento’s Grand Hotel
Ambasciatori, so lifelike they might fly off the page. Reina and Ferolla invite
readers to discover the special moments and places that reveal an intimate
portrait of one of the world’s most treasured destinations, and Ferolla’s
classical illustrations add another level of personality to the journey.
