Condition remarks:
Condition: Good Ex-Library copy with minimal markings. Jacket: Worn/faded - no tears. Page Condition: Good.
Few photographers have captured the soul of Italy with the grandeur and intimacy that Roloff Beny achieves in this monumental volume. Roloff Beny in Italy presents a breathtaking visual journey through the Italian peninsula, pairing Beny's extraordinary large-format photography with a rich anthology of text curated by poets and critics Anthony Thwaite and Peter Porter, and crowned by a luminous epilogue from the celebrated American writer Gore Vidal. The result is a work of rare cultural and aesthetic ambition — one that treats Italy not merely as a landscape, but as a living civilisation layered with art, architecture, antiquity, and light. Beny's lens moves with equal reverence through the ruins of Rome, the canals of Venice, and the sunlit hills of Tuscany, while Thwaite, Porter, and Vidal supply the literary counterpoint that transforms each image into a meditation. For those who love Italy — or those who have yet to fall under its spell — this volume issues an irresistible invitation.
