This is a beautiful coffee-table-style book. But happily, it's not as heavy or oversized as a coffee table book. The retro pictures are gorgeous. The book is both a nice reminder to me of my past trips to Italy, and it makes me eager to visit again!

About the author
Coffee table book featuring Italian summer beautry - great for vacation planners OR dreamers.
I love books where the author RISKS being called out for not effectively telling a story well with words. I mean that in a “good way”, because the author (and photographer) Lucy Laught, with Lee Marshall, tells a compelling story, while letting images tell the story as much as the words. I read this one through twice, and the first time I focused primarily on the photos. (The second round I read the copy before matching words to photo.)I love that the author also uses epigrams very selectively. One in particular in Chapter Two - The Aeolian Islands, is this “rule”: “Keep things simple. Leave complications to watchmakers.” I’m confident that this aphorism is even more lovely in its native tongue. It’s also a good summary of what the author, through photos and words, does in telling a lovely, and calming, story about “the sweet joy of doing nothing”.A friend of mine recently returned from a very relaxing vacation in Italy, and she confirmed what this book tells me. She noticed in the various islands she stayed, she noticed that people were NOT preoccupied with social media, electronic devices, and minutiae. They were too busy eating, talking, enjoying the company of their family and friends, and “doing nothing”.
