Book ID/图书代码： 08422008B25363

English Summary/英文概要： Italy’s rich history, natural beauty, cultural heritage and flavours make this country truly unique. Many books have been written about these treasures, but what makes this volume so unique is that it presents the very best of these treasures, in a work that combines superb photographs with bright, fresh text.

This book feautures over 200 stunning colour photographs from all over the country. You will travel from St Mark’s Square and the Gran Canal in Venice to the Colosseum and the Imperial Forum in Rome, to Etna’s smoking crater in Sicily. You will see Tuscany and the splendid historic center of Florence, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and the hills of Chianti and Val d’Orcia.

The sea surrounds the peninsula on three sides. Travel to history and heritage-rich islands like Sicily, or the island of Sardinia, a favourite of the international jet set. The sea also offers tiny Capri, the obligatory destination of travellers in search of romance, and the Tremiti archipelago in the Adriatic, a haven for intellectuals and nature lovers

Move from the spectacular coasts to the lofty mountains, such as Mont Blanc, Europe’s highest peak and the distinctive pyramid of the Matternhorn. In the north east, the rock faces of the legendary Dolomites change colour with the day’s passing hours.

Travel to the workshops of Murano’s master glassblowers and the lacemakers of Burano, to the mountain-high pastures of Valle d’Aosta where the most subtly flavored cheese is created to the flatlands of Campania, home of the world famous buffalo mozzarella. Visit the craftsmen constructing gondolas in the squeri or boatyards.

Each destination from the north of Italy to the south has its own treasures. This spectacular volume allows celebrating this wonderful country and the many treasures it has to offer.
