Italy, Anglo-Italian Publication, Mid 20th Century, Vintage Black & White Photographic Book

This is a truly beautiful vintage photography book, celebrating Italy through rich, atmospheric black and white photo plates. Bound in a striking natural linen cover with red lettering, it has real presence, the kind of book that belongs open on a coffee table.

Inside, the photography moves through Italy’s regions, dramatic mountain passes, historic churches, quiet towns and winding roads, captured with depth, contrast and a timeless sensitivity. The introduction is printed in both English and Italian, adding a lovely sense of shared culture and place.

Published by Anglo-Italian Publication Limited and printed in Czechoslovakia, this is an undated mid-20th century book, likely from the 1950s–early 1960s.

A wonderful piece for anyone drawn to Italy, black and white photography, and books chosen not just to read, but to return to, rest with, and display, a genuinely special coffee table book.
