"Encountering Italy is an experience as intense, varied and rewarding as the traveler's passion and patience can endure. From Sicily to the Alps, Roloff Beny portrays the land, people, ruins, art, masterpieces, and classic buildings. It is a brilliant tapestry of life, history and culture - a museum without walls. To enhance the visual experience, two poets have written a provocative and illuminating text and selected an anthology from writers of 2000 years - from Virgil to E.M. Forster. In his epilogue Gore Vidal, addressing an android from outer space, says; 'Study these pictures and see what we were, what we built, and through those multi/faceted lenses of yours note for the universal record what a lovely earth we had.'
