How Italy Feels: Through the Lens, Region by Region is a stunning, photo-forward guide that aims to break through the homogenization of the country’s narrative to harness the true experience of Italy.

Each chapter is dedicated to one of Italy’s 20 regions, shot by one photographer with a deep connection to that respective region. You’ll see the country beyond the familiar snapshots, exploring hidden corners through the intimate lens and recommendations of those who know them best.

This 288-page book, published by Penguin Books, captures not only the beauty of the Italian peninsula, but the way everyone–whether locals or visitors–experiences the country’s marvelous complexity.
