The Coast of Italy

This book is a visual celebration of the seas that surround Italy. Organized geographically, it takes readers on a journey from north to south along the Tyrrhenian coast, down to Lampedusa, and then back up the Adriatic Coast to the Gulf of Trieste. It also makes a stop in Sicily and Sardinia. A general introduction explores Italy's age-old relationship with the sea, placing this expedition in a historical context. The chapters that follow are divided by macro regions based on morphological and cultural boundaries. Informative essays and captions provide readers with extensive information on each site, while hundreds of full-colour photographs convey the many faces of the seas in which Italy is immersed through aerial views and coastal landscapes.Attini, Antonio is the author of 'The Coast of Italy', published 2008 under ISBN 9788854401938 and ISBN 8854401935.
