A celebration of the endlessly fascinating and culturally rich country of Italy, this book from the Monocle team features unique insights and stunning photography throughout.

Following the success of The Monocle Book of Japan, this volume is a celebration of all things Italian. Few countries pack a punch like Italy. Energetic, enigmatic, and effortlessly cool, it’s a country of chic beach clubs, tradition-steeped hilltop towns, and cities full of charm. Its cuisine is celebrated around the world, its design aesthetic has become synonymous with both functionality and style, and it’s home to the undisputed capital of fashion; Italy’s appeal is undeniable.

Covering everything from design, architecture, and culture to food, fashion, and current affairs, The Monocle Book of Italy is overflowing with insight and is fully illustrated with specially commissioned photography to paint a unique portrait of the nation. From the vaporettos of Venice and the boutiques of Milan to the family-run trattorias of Trieste and the sunny shorelines of Sicily, discover the people, places, and traditions that define this captivating country. La dolce vita never looked so good.

I love this book! It sits on my coffee table, and looks excellent - the yellow color makes it pop. The pictures inside are incredible. I can't wait to go to Italy next year.

Tolles Buch. Leider aufgrund der schlechten Verpackung von Amazon stark beschädigt, ich musste es zwei Mal zurückgeschicken und werde es jetzt woanders kaufen, auch wenn es dort etwas mehr kostet.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Reviewed in Australia on March 31, 2022
Verified Purchase
Unfortunately, the book didn’t meet my expectations. Given the positioning of Monocle as a publishing house and that the book is presented as a “grand tour of design, business, food and fashion”, I was expecting a super up-to-date take on all things Italian for Italophiles, covering all most recent developments in the “Made in Italy” space. However, despite having been published just a few months ago, the book seems already “old” due to the choice of photos and to the text, that seems to be addressing the topics covered only quite superficially, primarily rehashing well and truly known facts about the “Italian way of doing things” that are common knowledge for most people, let alone Italophiles.

Peccato il libro sia arrivato ammaccato su bordi e alcuni spigoli. Peccato per un libro da collezione.
