La bell’Italia è per sempre
Legendary hotels and secret hideaways full of atmosphere
To travel through Italy is as close as one gets to being in paradise. For centuries, writers, artists, architects, and merchants have been drawn here, inspired by the beauty of Venice, Florence, Naples, and Rome. Countless books, paintings, poems, and sculptures are evidence of its undying appeal, and over the past 60 years, the country has become one of the world’s top travel and holiday destinations. The loveliness of Italy is, if not eternal, certainly enduring, and the easygoing and relaxed Italian lifestyle is still unrivaled.
Here, some of Italy’s most amazing landscapes and diverse regions are brought to life, like Tuscany, Umbria, the Amalfi Coast, and, no less magical, the Aeolian Islands off the coast of Sicily. In these mythical surroundings are legendary hotels full of atmosphere, where novels are set, movies are made, weddings are celebrated, and famous love stories consummated: Villa d’Este on Lake Como, the Pellicano Hotel in Porto Ercole, the Il San Pietro on the Amalfi Coast, and the Palazzo Margherita in Basilicata—to name just a few. Angelika Taschen also reveals where to find more secret and hidden jewels—from the Locanda Cipriani, a destination for food lovers on the island of Torcello, to the romantic Castello di Vicarello in Tuscany and the atmospheric Masseria Moroseta in Puglia.

TASCHEN’s luxury art books distill museum-worthy masterpieces into exquisitely produced volumes that feel as exceptional as they look. Bound in premium materials and printed on heavyweight, archival-quality paper, each edition pairs breathtaking image reproduction with insightful, expertly edited texts. From iconic monographs to sweeping cultural surveys, these books invite slow looking—plates glow with depth and fidelity, typography is elegant yet unobtrusive, and thoughtful layouts give every artwork room to breathe.

Designed as heirlooms as much as references, they’re the kind of objects that transform a coffee table or library shelf into a gallery. Ribbon markers, gilded or coloured edges, and sturdy slipcases underscore the sense of occasion, while meticulous production standards ensure lasting beauty. Whether you’re building a collection or gifting a statement piece, a TASCHEN luxury art book is a tactile celebration of creativity, craft, and cultured living.
