Founded from the lagoon settlements of refugees from the Veneto and Friuli fleeing from the barbarian raids of the early Middle Ages, protected toward the mainland by the impenetrable lagoon, open to the sea to favor the development of trade with the Orient, Venice dominated the Mediterranean for at least 500 years, from the 1300s to the 1700s. This book by Pedrocco, a renowned specialist on Venetian art and director of the Museo del Settecento in Venice, examines the golden centuries of Venetian painting: it starts with Paolo Veneziano, who developed a style of painting balanced between the Byzantine tradition and the Gothic language that held sway in Europe; then continues with Bellini, Giorgione, Titian and the masters who spread the language of the Venetian school to the European courts; and concludes in the Settecento, at the height of the wealth and glory of the Serenissima, with Tiepolo, Longhi and the Vedutists. The text is accompanied by fine illustrations showing the works held in Venetian museums, churches and palaces, without overlooking the paintings that have migrated, over time, to foreign museums.

On the 24th August 79 A.D. Pompeii perished. On that day Vesuvius erupted an enormous quantity of lapilli, lava and poisonous gas, which destroyed the city forever, together with its neighbours: Herculaneum, Stabiae and Oplontis. The eruption suddenly covered the whole city – houses and monuments, streets, civil and religious buildings, - and its people with lava and ash, suddlenly stopping life but also conserving everything as it was. This unique situation makes it possibile today to study how daily life used to be in Pompeii. The authors explain in this book not only how the city of Pompeii looked like in Antiquity, but they also reconstruct all different aspects of life of pompeian people – private life, social habits, economic rules, politics, religious beliefs – through the observation of archaeological finds, material culture, architectural traces and art. The structure they chose for the book is not the traditional topographical one, but a trasversal, thematic one. The iconography of the archeological site is completed by plans of the main monuments and the paintings, mosaics and scultpures of the Archaeological Museum of Naples.

The book is a journey to examine the symbolic and cultural universe in which the human body has been represented. The journey through the centuries is divided into chapters and sections which are either chronological or based on particular themes: anatomy, poses, subjects and meanings. They are illustrated by sculptures and paintings, many of which date from Classical Antiquity.

Author Elisabetta Gnecchi Ruscone Size 13.5 x 20 cm of civilization Pages 384 Illustrations 360 in color Binding Paperback with flaps Wordcount approx 92.000 A completely new approach to the study of the ancient VOLUMES IN THE SERIES: world, conducted through the analysis of the figurative records 1.

Highly diverse cultures, which to our unfamiliar eyes seem very similar, make up the map of the culture and civilization of Oceania. “Oceania consists of a sea of islands and their inhabitants… It was people from the continent, that is to say, Europeans who, when they reached the Pacific, having traveled across immense expanses of ocean, first brought back the vision of islands in a far-off sea. From this point of view, the islands are tiny remote dots in a vast ocean.” The words of Epeli Hau’ofa introduce the expeditions of Western explorers, their voyages, the colonial influences and the seizing of land belonging to the indigenous peoples of Oceania which took place between the 16th and 20th centuries. Starting from a historical perspective, with an introduction that covers the most significant events which took place in the continent (subdivided into the macro-regions of Australia and New Zealand, Micronesia, Melanesia, Polynesia, a total of 14 states, some of which were formed very recently), the book tells the story of the cultures and civilizations of which it is composed. The book looks at how people live in each of the societies considered: from religion to social and political organization, from the places where people live to the subject of travel, resulting in a precise across-the- board view. The book is outstanding from the point of view of its illustrations, which comprise not only shots of manufacturing and craft skills but also historical photographs documenting exploration at the beginning of last century, all of which are being published in Italy for the first time.

The etchings of Dürer and Rembrandt, but also maps and anatomical representations used in medicine, all the way to the works of Picasso and American Pop Art: a historical overview offers an introduction to the birth and evolution of printing as a tool of communication and the spread of culture in books, a way of circulating art in reproductions of great paintings, and finally an autonomous, original art form in its own right. Over five centuries of history, printing has changed, taking on different meanings and functions: a tool of research and reporting for explorers, a means of protesting against injustice and immorality (as in the Caprices of Goya, for example), a vehicle of scientific description, or of revolutionary intellectual movements, as in the Enlightenment, a characteristic and promotional feature of certain art movements, and above all a moment of very high artistic value. The book, together with historical information, provides fundamental technical indications to help enthusiasts and collectors to correctly evaluate works and to find their way through the fascinating world of prints, which represents the first and most accessible level of art collecting: an important guide for the growing ranks of collectors.

Author Lucia Valerio Size 28.5 x 36.5 cm & nature Pages 288 Illustrations 220 in color Binding hardcover with jacket Wordcount approx. 50.000 words These books focus on the photography of travel and nature, narrating places and habitats of great charm and beauty. Outstanding photographers and expert observers of nature document the many facets of reality in images of great impact, in books that celebrate the wonder of nature, the works and passions of man, through spectacular reproductions accompanied by scientific or narrative texts on the various themes. & nature photography

“The first garden is not Paradise, but Paradise is the metaphor of the garden”. This book gathers a fine selection of gardens, on an international level, to illustrate the various typologies that have emerged across the centuries, expressions of man’s relationship with the territory and the environment, but also of his overall worldview. Looking through the images, spectacular gardens that seem like domestic Edens give way to the large green spaces of palaces, or urban facilities like Regent’s Park in London, or the Tiergarten of Berlin. Important landscape designers like Russell Page, Peter Latz or Fernando Caruncho have come to terms with the forms of tradition and gradually invented new styles, at times oriented toward a new classicism, but always with a forceful contemporary character. There are also more recent examples, reflecting a new environmental awareness and new respect for all the species that inhabit these magnificent microcosms of green space.

Lucia Valerio, journalist, has concentrated on landscape architecture and gardens for many years. She has written many articles and essays on the subject, and works for the magazine “VilleGiardini”.

Few people have been able to explore the seabeds of the world to document the secrets hidden in the sunken ships and wrecks. Folco Quilici, the pioneer of underwater exploration, has done just that. The book is based on the author’s personal experiences, and describes his most important underwater expeditions, offering a fascinating diary of explorations around the world. Thanks to many vivid, high-quality images, the volume describes the main finds in the Mediterranean, which contains archaeological evidence from the Phoenicians to the Middle Ages, unveiling the secrets of ancient civilizations. But the explorations also take place in the Caribbean, where the search for gold in the colonial era led to unforgettable chapters of history: sunken galleons, heroes and adventurers bent on claiming the Aztec, Maya and Inca treasure. But the discussion does not focus only on the wonders of the deep: because while wrecks seem to “live” at the bottom of the sea, becoming extraordinary environments where nature manages to cover up and conceal something dead with a colorful, gorgeous raiment of life, we should not forget the dangers connected with eco-piracy and the huge quantities of metal, paints, petroleum, ammunition and weapons that lie at the bottom of the sea, and represent risks for our health and that of the planet.

The Encyclopédie or Reasoned Dictionary of Sciences, Arts and Trades is still considered the secular bible of the age of Enlightenment. Denis Diderot, the eccentric philosopher and writer, directed it for eleven years, from 1746 to 1757, with the mathematician Jean-Baptiste Le Rond d’Alembert, and then comple- ted it on his own, creating 28 volumes (17 of text, 11 of illustrations) published in 1772, and 7 supplementary volumes (4 of text, 2 of indices) in 1776-80: an undertaking that involved dozens of contributors and thoU.S.A.nds of workers, producing 18,000 pages and printing 4250 copies (a great success at the time), becoming a true monument of the technological, artistic and scientific knowledge of the Enlightenment. The present publication contains all of the over 2700 plates that illustrated the great work. This vast, fascinating complex of illustrations is organized by subject, gathered in five large thematic sections, each with its own essays for orientation. The images are accompanied by an enormous quantity of information and historical facts to help readers understand the cultural and social context in which this great work was made, “the most extraordinary utopia of a century that produced many”, and one of the most timely components of the rich lega- cy of the 1700s.

The history of yachting starts in the second half of the 1600s, but it was not until the 1700s that the first yacht club was formed, the first association to gather a group of recreational sailing enthusiasts. Since then the growth and spread of these true institutions has been continuous. First in England and the British colonies, then in the rest of the world, yacht clubs have played an increasingly vital role in the spread of sailing, while at the same time becoming the bastions of an unmistakable way of life. This volume examines the world’s most important yacht clubs, from the first to be founded – the Royal Cork Yacht Club – to the prestigious associates that have stood out in the greatest sailing competition, the America’s Cup. It contains images of places rich in nautical tradition, full of trophies and memorabilia, like the New York Yacht Club, the Société Nautique de Genève, the Royal Yacht Squadron, the Yacht Club de France, the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron. Places whose members have often included legendary personalities, the protagonists of important regattas, with boats that have become the very symbols of yachting.
