Italy around 1900 : a portrait in color = Italien um 1900 : ein Porträt in Farbe = L'Italie vers 1900 : portrait en couleurs
Fanelli, Giovanni2018
Book
This collection is a fascinating visual document of Italy at the turn of the century, gathering photo chromes and vintage coloured prints. From coast to coast, through classical sites and Renaissance wonders, down beguiling Venetian waterways and along the dappled shores of the Amalfi coast, each evocative image impresses as much for its colour clarity as for the vivid evocation of times gone by. As if in an enchanted dream, we walk an empty and dusk lit St. Mark's Square, stroll the shady Uffizi courtyard alone, and find just a few horse carts pulled up in front of the Pantheon in Rome. In place of cameras, guides, and tour groups, we find ordinary traders and labourers, quiet street scenes, and humble settlements. As sunlit charms and historic reality combine, the result is an unrivalled record of this young nation that fought hard to exist, and went on to win the world's hearts.
