The Great Beauty

by Federico Pignatelli Della Leonessa
The Great Beauty
The Great Beauty

Italian society and aesthetic musings, seductively introspective.

If you're someone who enjoys the blend of deep social commentary with a reflective and poetic narrative, "The Great Beauty" could be a mesmerizing read for you. Federico Pignatelli paints a portrait of Italian culture that is as lavish as it is thoughtful, offering a journey through the aesthetically rich landscapes of Italy's soul. It's a read that stays with you, much like a piece of fine art.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

As the curious mind will attest, it is an ethereal thrill to discover, revere, and regale the sinuous, striking feminine form, celebrated here in a stunning visual narrative and special compendium. The collection of images in The Great Beauty fully embraces the allure and infinite intrigue of womankind in a daring, intoxicating ode to their esoteric and erotic narcissism. A cast of 11 models and a production crew made the trek to the spectacular John Paul Getty Villa in Ladispoli, Italy. There, in splendid, idyllic isolation by the Sea of Rome, this creative endeavor came to life. Photographer Federico Pignatelli della Leonessa employed both conventional and modern photographic methods and means to create these images, using a classic Hasselblad digital camera while fully embracing post-millennial digital video technology to achieve the highest-resolution images possible.
