'Italy: Cities of Art" by A. Attini and M. Bertinetti

Italy: Cities of Art
a new book by photographers Antonio Attini and Marcello Bertinetti
White Star: September 2008
[Italy from Above aerial photography series]

"The countless bridges, churches, and squares in Venice. The lofty domes of Florence, nestled in the heart of Tuscany. The terraced houses of Positano, the "Pearl of the Amalfi Coast." Each city in Italy is completely distinctive, reflecting millennia of history and rich artistic and cultural legacies. This addition to White Star’s Italy from Above aerial photography series highlights the architecture and landscapes that make each Italian city a masterpiece unto itself. From UNESCO World Heritage sites including the historical centers of Rome and Naples to delightful cities set in the Italian provinces such as Bologna and Catania, from the coastline to the hilltops, hundreds of colorful bird’s-eye photographs present fresh perspectives of Italy’s urban centers, lingering on their architecture, geography, colors, and unique characteristics."
