.Sienese Painting: The Art of a City-republic (1278-1477) (World of Art)
Search: Italy
by: Timothy Hyman

2003-09
This is a beautifully written exploration of the work produced in Siena over a two-century period of glory, during which artists like Martini, Sassetta, and Giovanni di Paolo pioneered new narrative techniques. For anyone who has seen or read about these groundbreaking freschi and paintings, which include Lorenzetti's magnificent depictions of Good and Bad Government, this book is a must, since Hyman is able to put such masterpieces into a political and social context.

Beautifully put together, beautiful photography, excellent text. The unique geography of Venice is dealt with in the first part, before the detail of the various types of buildings is given. I love it.

.The River Cafe Cookbook
Search: Italy

My first impression, having bought this book, was enthusiasm. All these great recipes, great ideas. But as I read through the recipes I found the lack of advice and explanation disapointing. I re-read the instructions for jointing a chicken about four times, and I still don't understand them. Why not illustrate the steps for something like this?

Anyway, I came away wondering if I should have got Jamie Oliver instead.
