This is one of my favorite Italian books out there. The photography and writing are beautiful. I lived in Naples for 4 years and while there got the opportunity to do a bit of traveling throughout Italy. This book truly captures the feel of being there. Whenever I miss the time I had over there, I bust out this book and give it a good slow flip through, sometimes reading it, sometimes just daydreaming about the sites and places I have been before and hope to visit again.

A crazy beautiful book. Every time I wish I were in Italy, I pick it up for a quick, virtual vacation.
A Sense of Wonder

What words can be used to describe Rothfield's "Italian Dreams"? All that can be said of his images is that they like Italy is a dream- as boundless, captivating and distinguished. With the use of thoughtful quotes by such famous personels as William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, and George Elliot, this collection of poetry has the magic to "speak" of Italy in a way that keeps me enchanted until the last photograph....Simple things like bloody oranges and Verona's corners are captured- indescribable.
