This is a book that will be appreciated by all Italophiles, those
that have travelled the country and absorbed and admired the
colour, the passions, the contradictions and the creativity of this
diverse land and it people. The author and photographer B. C.
Hartmann is one of such people. He has travelled throughout Italy
from the top to the toe and throughout these journeys set out to
capture the Italians and their way of life as he saw it through his
eyes and the lenses of his camera. With a deep knowledge of the
history and the political and social contradictions involved, he
has roamed the country seeking special moments and events that he
considers to be important for the onlooker to contemplate,
appreciate and understand. He has assembled a variety of
photographs from still-life compositions to crucial moments in an
activity. His intention in choosing each picture in this selection
is to encourage people to look beyond each fragmentary scene and
then ` narrate` or imagine for themselves the background to, and
the resultant circumstances involved, in each composition and
scenario. This fascinating book is not a simple travelogue, but a
glorious essay that will help the observer to feel the heart and
soul of a people and their land.
