"A whimsical cross between a fairy tale and a travelogue. . . This
version includes beautiful illustrated collages by the Italian
artist Livia Signorini." -"T, The New York Times Style Magazine"
"It is no wonder that Signorini was moved to assemble collages that
embrace the span of time that clearly resonated with Dickens as he
explored Italy. Images from antiquarian books cozy up to Photoshop
embellishments like enlarged rigatoni, made even more impressive by
the gatefold pages across which these compositions spread,
complementing Dickens's running theme of the moment being
everything and nothing, honoring the poignancy of stone, water,
light, and shadow." - "Imprint," "Print" Magazine
"Pictures from Italy," one of Charles Dickens' earlier works, is a
whimsical foray into the twin worlds of travel and the imagination.
Italian artist Livia Signorini plays with Dickens' sense of place,
memory, and politics. The result is a brilliant contemporary
dialogue with his work that renews our sense of his enduring
vision. An extraordinary work that is as much about travel writing
as it is about Dickens' journey to Italy itself, this handsome
volume features 11 full-color gate folds.
