Customer comments on this selection.
 beautiful presentation...
If you enjoy vintage travel posters and Italy - this book will be perfect. NIce layout - most of the posters are a nice size on each page, not postage stamp size - good color.
Travel Italia
A really gorgeous, beautiful book full of wonderful romantic images.It is also very informative with information about the various artists and techniques used.Every page reveals yet another enticing invitation and the colours are rich and vibrant.The book really surpassed my expectations.
 Like Making Love to Your Own Italian Lover
Champagne corks. Ski slopes. Sailboats. Delicious coffee. Scenic vistas. Iconic monuments. Historical sites. Bucolic countrysides. Rivers and oceans. Warm bed and breakfasts. Italian culinary delights.
They're all here and reproduced in gorgeous color in this luscious collection of Italian travel posters. Ottaviani's inspired design sets this book apart from other poster "collections" by virtue of his romantic heart. With each page, the design sweeps you away as if you are being whispered to by an Italian lover--in Firenze, in Capri, in Milano, and more.
"Travel Italia" would make a perfect gift for the Italiophile (is that a word?) in your life. Or, it would be a great way to introduce Italy to someone you care about. It's a very romantic book (without being sexual) and makes you want to take a journey to this beautiful country--with every turn of the page.
So why did I give "Travel Italia" four stars? Because I don't believe in perfection. But "Travel Italia" comes close. This book has sensuality coursing through its veins. Take this journey. You won't look back.
A great collection of high art
This is one of the best collection of period posters I have seen in years. It helps the fact that the subject is Italy, with its beautiful sites, but the selection clearly shows the impeccable taste of its author, who is, not by accident, a designer himself. What's really interesting also is that you'll learn about places you probably never heard of before, so it works as a travel guide as well! A great gift for for art and travel enthusiasts.
