Italianess (Georges Desrues)

The elusive spirit of Italian life that turns everyday gestures into style, food into identity, and leisure into ritual? In Italianess, author and cultural observer Georges Desrues embarks on a visual and narrative journey to uncover the secret behind Italy's effortless elegance and bold sense of beauty. From the myth of "Italian cuisine" to the quiet power of espresso, from the symbolism of sunglasses to the drama of design, cinema, and fashion - this book captures a country that unites through diversity.

Georges Desrues, born in Paris, grew up in Vienna and has been living in Italy as a freelance author for 20 years. He specializes in food, drink, design and travel. Among other things, he is the author of the slow travel photo book "Triest für Fortgeschrittene".
