Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. In Very Good+ condition and Very Good+ dustjacket. Though most often associated with the Renaissance and with the famed Uffizi and Galleria dell'Accademia, the artistic heritage of Tuscany is actually quite diverse-with Baroque and Mannerist influences as well as Renaissance-and the artistic wonders go far beyond these two renowned institutions. Hidden Tuscany explores the varied influences and unique history of the region, revealing Tuscany's hidden gems. With glorious color photography and engaging text, Hidden Tuscany brings readers to the lesser-known sites-to the gardens, villas, museums, and churches often passed by on traditional tours or in other books on the area.

Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. Tuscany is known throughout the world as the capital of Renaissance art -- the site of the renowned Uffizi Gallery and the Galleria dell'Accademia, home to Michelangelo's David. The artistic heritage of the region is far more diverse, however, than many people realize. Artistic influences are not limited to the Renaissance style; masters of the Mannerist and Baroque styles lived and worked in Tuscany, too, and their legacy is evident throughout the region.Hidden Tuscany brings readers beyond the most well-known Tuscan sites to hidden gems off the beaten path -- to country churches, ornate villas, and garden grottos. Sites featured include the church of Santa Felicita, decorated by Mannerist master Pontormo; Villa Napoleone-Demidoff on Elba, where Napoleon resided during his exile; the Silk Factory of Florence; and the elaborate seventeenth-century garden at Castello di Gricigliano, also in Florence. With gorgeous color photography and insightful text, Hidden Tuscany uncovers these and other wonders of the region. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks.

Couverture souple. Condition: Très bon. LISTRI, Massimo (illustrator). 384 pages, dans la collection "Lettres italiennes", traduction de l'italien par Marguerite Pozzoli. Quatrième de couverture : "Calabre, 1863. Dans les paysages âpres et grandioses de la Sila, le major Albertis, représentant de l'armée royale d'une Italie récemment unifiée, conduit son escadron de cavalerie à la recherche du brigand Evangelista Boccadoro. Ce dernier, à la tête d'un groupe de rebelles, refuse une souveraineté nationale non comprise et honnie. Il vient de commettre un terrible massacre dans la propriété de son ancien maître, le baron Pietramala, dont il a pris en otages les deux enfants et l'institutrice de ceux-ci. Ainsi débute, dans le décor fascinant et archaïque d'une Calabre qui n'est, pour les "Piémontais", qu'un territoire inconnu et arriéré, une poursuite impitoyable, jalonnée de morts et de massacres perpétrés dans les deux camps, avec une égale férocité. Luigi Guarnieri explore ici l'une des pages les plus occultées et les plus controversées de l'histoire italienne. Il nous fait entendre les raisons de chaque camp, nous fait découvrir les rites et les coutumes d'une région humiliée par la misère, la violence et l'exploitation. Mais ce roman haletant animé par un souffle épique est également une métaphore de toutes les guerres et de l'attitude colonialiste des vainqueurs. Si tant est que l'on puisse parler de "victoire" après le finale énigmatique, qui laisse entrevoir la naissance du "problème méridional", plus actuel que jamais. "Les Sentiers du ciel" a été finaliste aux prix Viareggio 2008 et Città di Bari 2008. Il a remporté, la même année, le prix Grinzane Cavour.". Livre.

This is how Monique Lévi-Strauss, wife of the famous anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss, begins the extraordinary account of an adventure that began thirty years ago, when cashmere shawls cost very little and no longer aroused the passion that they had inspired among nineteenth-century ladies. It was at the end of the eighteenth century that English ladies first discovered the exotic shawls from Kashmir. The trend reached France with the return of Napoleon's soldiers from the Egyptian campaign. It spread rapidly: French women found that nothing was better suited to the new, classically inspired fashions of the time than these glamorous shawls. In 1809 the Empress Josephine was painted wearing a dress made from a white cashmere shawl, and Napoleon gave seventeen cashmere shawls as wedding presents to his second wife, Marie-Louise of Austria. Despite their costliness, the shawls were wildly sought after. The demand soon outstripped the supply, and the weavers of Kashmir had to change their production methods in order to increase output. Textile manufacturers in France and also in Britain sought to copy the Kashmiri designs but envisaged a technique more in keeping with European tradition - it took two Kashmiri men up to three years to weave a single precious shawl, using an incredible phantasmagoria of colors. As European manufacturers continued to vie with one another in "counterfeiting" Kashmir shawls, a flourishing industry developed, encouraged by the invention in France of the Jacquard loom. By 1840, European fashion was influencing shawl design in Kashmir, and among Europeans the French designs were the most popular. Eventually shawls became available in a wide range of prices, reflecting the quality of their decoration and of the raw materials from which they were made, including the number of different colors that had been used for the weft. Monique Lévi-Strauss has examined the evolution of French shawls from 1800 to 1880, identifying and classifying them in a comprehensive manner for the first time.
