Full description for The Wonders of Portofino and the Italian Riviera

• For years, Portofino has been synonymous with la Dolce Vita, and in this addition to White Star's acclaimed list of travel photography books, readers are given a spectacular guided tour through this glorious region. Taken by two of Italy's foremost travel photographers, the images in this handsome volume present Liguria's diverse landscapes and architecture, revealing off-the-beaten track facets of this popular tourist destination as well as the instantly recognizable emblems of the region. Photographs showcase the historical buildings of the via Garibaldi - houses of noble families dating back to the 1500s - and the architecture of the medieval centre, the beauty and variety of the five medieval villages perched above the sea that, combined, make up Cinque Terre: Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore, and the fashionable resorts, marinas, and pastel-coloured houses of elegant Portofino. Supplementing the splendid photographs, an engaging text takes readers on a memorable journey through the region's most noteworthy sites, highlighting the significance of the varied architecture and monuments. A concise history of the area is provided, as is a well-rounded view of Liguria today.
