Italian Portraits - by Donatella Sartorio (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Elegant photographs of Italian men in their homes

An elegant and original photo book illustrating once again the excellence of products made in Italy. A follow up to Italian Touch--produced with Tod's in 2009 and distributed with great success all over the world--the autumn of 2012 will see the publication of a new volume: a gallery of images of Italian men of different ages and origins with a shared passion for elegance and the highest quality. Some thirty men, including a writer, jeweller, a painter, a philanthropist, a journalist, and an aristocrat, are photographed in their chosen settings: the home, the office, the garden or the city. Their lifestyles, born out of a natural flair for combining elegance and quality, are encapsulated in images and short quotes. Their beauty is in the expression of ideas and traditions--a language capable of conveying the culture that represents the true excellence of products made in Italy. An inspired and entertaining book to accompany the launch of next season's male fashion, supported once again by Tod's with a major communications campaign. For lovers of photography and fashion, and for all those who purchased Italian Touch.
