Italy from Above

Description

Think you've seen Italy? Try looking again, this time from the breathtaking angles accessible only from the air! Through 400 aerial photographs in brilliant colour, this book takes you everywhere in Italy - from the Alps in the north to the volcano-hewn coastlines of the south, from towering cathedrals to Roman ruins to hidden villages - and invites you to ponder these marvels anew, while appreciating the human life in their midst. Expert photographers who know Italy well let you see the country in ways you might not have thought possible. Fascinating images of familiar landmarks appear, but surprises hide around every corner. This book captures the many flavours of Italy in ways that few books can. Specially commissioned aerial photographers look at all regions of Italy as they appear in their many identities. Life in the mountains, by the sea, in the gentle countryside, in the big cities, and in hidden villages all springs to life dramatically in these gorgeous photos. Italy has cultivated beauty, art, and science for centuries. It is accompanied by a free DVD featuring breathtaking aerial film & photography. Major joint P.R. launch planned to tie in with publication of "High Above London". There is an introduction by Franco Zeffirelli.
