Steven RothfeldReseñas

Pictures and text of Italian cities which are romantic and evocative. Each picture covers one page and excerpts a phrase or more from a celebrated writer who had felt strongly about Italy as home or Italy as a tourist destination. Very nice book especially if you have already have been to Italy to see these sites.

Beautiful photography, quality reproduction, and a good three-page overview of the nature and purpose of shrines as presented in Italy. Pages are not numbered and the small photo image index was difficult to tie to the photographs. No specific prose on any of the particular shrines, but certainly you can view the diversity of shrines presented in the book.

Lovely photos, but no hint of where they were taken. When I write a book on Italian shrines, I'll be more careful.
