Maps of Italy from Joan Blaeu's exquisite world atlas of 1665 The finest and most comprehensive baroque atlas was Joan Blaeu's exceptional Atlas Maior, completed in 1665. The original eleven-volume Latin edition, containing 594 maps, put Blaeu ahead of his staunch competitor, mapmaker Joanes Janssonius, whose rivalry inspired Blaeu to produce a grandiose edition of the largest and most complete atlas to date. Covering Arctica, Europe, Africa, Asia, and America, Blaeu's Atlas Maior was a remarkable achievement and remains to this day one of history's finest examples of mapmaking. This reprint, including all 60 maps of Italy, is made from the National Library of Vienna's colored, gold-heightened copy, thus assuring the best possible detail and quality. Alongside original quotes from Joan... Less

For years, Ron Galella, the godfather of U.S. paparazzi culture, has provided the world a glimpse into the off-limits world of celebrity. With Viva l'Italia!, a deeper and more probing Galella emerges.

It was Fellini who proclaimed, paparazzi are bandits of images, coining the word with his character Señor Paparazzo in La Dolce Vita. As he continues on, Galella presents us with rare portraits of Italy's most famous sons and daughters, including... Less

The glitter and cynicism of Rome under Mussolini provide the background of what is probably Alberto Moravia’s best and best-known novel — The Woman of Rome. It’s the story of Adriana, a simple girl with no fortune but her beauty who models naked for a painter, accepts gifts from men, and could never quite identify the moment when she traded her private dream of home and children for the life of a prostitute. One of the very few novels of the twentieth century which can be ranked with the work of Dostoevsky, The Woman of Rome also tells the stories of the tortured university student Giacomo, a failed revolutionary who refuses to admit his love for Adriana; of the sinister figure of Astarita, the Secret Police officer obsessed with Adriana; and of the coarse and brutal criminal...

What had seemed to Grand Tourists a museum of idealized antiquity and Renaissance art became--in the eyes of Byron, Keats, Shelley and a host of other visitors--a nation struggling to assert itself but not quite able to do so. Italia Romantica is a vivid history of the English Romantics' love affair with Italy and of the changing attitudes in pre-unification Italy. Roderick Cavaliero's compelling story is full of bandits, unreformed Catholicism, poets, and improvvisatori, shot through with vignettes of timeless urban and pastoral life, remarkable characters, and anecdotes.
