Synopses & Reviews
Elusive as it is alluring, Sicily is a spectacular island with a landscape that ranges from volcano to seaside through olive and citrus groves. Its unique location has opened it to influences as diverse as the Greek, Norman, and Byzantine giving it a multi-tiered cultural heritage that is unparalleled in Europe. It is the eclectic nature of this beautiful island that photographer Rosario Bonavoglia seeks to capture in his collection of images of festivals, monuments, and local color.
In his latest book, Bonavoglia takes us on a truly adventurous ride through its varying landscapes and traditions focusing on those elements that remain relatively unknown, opaque, and even startlingly dark to give us an overview that is both stunning and unexpected.
