VILLAGES OF ITALY. (A. Attini)

Italy's small towns and villages are the stuff dreams are made of. Imagine yourself in a rustic farmhouse in Tuscany, sipping cappuccino al fresco in an intimate piazza, or eating fresh-caught fish in a restaurant overlooking the sapphire sea. Featuring the spectacular travel photography for which White Star is world-renowned, this handsome addition to the Italy from Above series takes readers on a birds-eye tour of the most picturesque towns in Italy. Photographs from today's pre eminent aerial photographers present the many faces of Italy's small towns and villages, taking us over fishing villages and ancient inland towns, and throughout the most stunning regions of Il Bel Paese.From the stunning landscapes and grand monuments of Tuscany to the splendour of the five medieval villages perched above the sea that, combined, make up Cinque Terre to the severe, elegant lines of the towns of Umbria's Perugia, Spoleto, and Norcia, these images present a variety of panoramas that are all the more compelling when viewed from above. The delightful diversity of Italy's small towns comes alive in vibrant photographs that showcase the lushness of Italy's hillsides and the quaint seaside villages that line the coast.With hundreds of colour photographs in White Star's signature aerial style, this is an enticing retreat for armchair travellers and a souvenir to be cherished by those who have visited Il Bel Paese. It is targeted press release featuring the six new titles in this series to be published this autumn. It provides review copy mailing to travel magazines and newspapers.
