Romantic Italy: 50 Illustrations by a Renowned Italian Artist

Why do newlyweds from every country in the world choose Italy for their honeymoon? Of course, it is because Italy is recognized as the world's epicenter of love and romance. The beautiful illustrations in this book will virtually transport you to this magical land. Augusta Schinchirimini's exceptional artistic talent and her passion for the culture of her native land have allowed her to produce 50 illustrations that epitomize Italy's classic art tradition. They are also highly suggestive of the romance that is pervasive in the land of Romeo and Julliet.

Augusta's illustrations will: invite you to join the ostentatious merriment of Carnevale in Venice; reacquaint you with the classic fables of childhood including Pinocchio, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Peter Pan; take you into enchanting gardens filled with flowers, birds and butterflies; escort you through forests filled with animals, castles, and bridges; immerse you among the creatures of the undersea world; and show you classic designs used to make Italy's incomparable "Maiolica" ceramics.

"Romantic Italy" is unique among coloring books in that each and every illustration was drawn by hand. Unlike other coloring books, the only "software" used in the creation of this book were the delicate hands of the artist.
