Beautiful Picture Book to Dream About or Remember Your Trip to Tuscany
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Tuscany: Timeless Places is a beautiful picure book about Tuscany that can spark the desire to realize your dreams to visit there or capture images that will fondly capture memories of your trip there. Having been there twice, I felt that it was very representative and includes a good cross-section of the region. Good coffee table book, too!
Everyone's Desires
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
TUSCANY has almost every facet of living that the wanderer could desire - serene countrysides, ancient cities filled with the most important treasures of Western Art, museums, incredible vistas of mountains, vineyards, coastlines, and skies punctuated with spires of buildings as old as civilization. Author Alexandra Bonfante-Warren wisely edits her writings about Tuscany to be a bit different than her other volumes in the Timeless Places Series: TUSCANY is less concerned with historical data than it is with the magic of the four seasons as they caress this magnificently beautiful region of Italy. Historical references are many, though they merely enhance allusions to the magic of Florence, Sienna, the small villages, and the immeasurably beautiful photographs of the foods of Tuscany. Here are fruits and vegetables in the fields, hanging in villages, cooked to sensual perfection on old pots. The photographs are rich in color and in variety of subject and, to the credit of the photographic editor, we are presented with an unsually rich and different vantage of this favorite region. A delightfully written and lovingly produced book. This is, as is the entire series of travel books "Timeless Places", a wealth of beauty at an unbelieveably low price!
