Il Libro: The Magazine of Italian Art.
A belief in beauty and form, a resoluteness in the face of suffering, a sense of what is real and meaningful, a distaste for rhetoric and the vague, and a notion that the individual is a part of a greater, meaningful tradition. These are some of the distinctive traits that have manifested visually over the centuries shaping the form of Italian cultural identity and compelling generations to ‘grand tour’ through the magical country of Italy.
While there is no simple recipe for capturing, promoting or preserving Italy’s visual identity, Il Libro explores and unearths what is perhaps forgotten while placing a mirror in front of the obvious so that we may see it from a different vantage point.
