Photography & photographs; Places & peoples: pictorial works

"Il Dolce Far Niente is a gorgeous, photographic ode to the magic of southern coastal Italy in the summer by renowned travel, fashion, and lifestyle photographer Lucy Laucht.

Throughout these pages, the spirit of summer will come shining through-shimmering blue seas, long, summer afternoons walking on the beach, those fearless jumpers diving off cliffs into the sea. There's a special essence to summer in South Italy-the pleasure of living simply. Lazing on the beach, perching on the rocks overlooking the sea, relishing moments of escape and calm.

Organized by place, each destination is its own chapter: Naples, The Aeolian Islands, Ischia, The Amalfi Coast + Capri, Sicily, Puglia, and Pantelleria. Framing each chapter is a rule that embodies the sense of place such as Napoli's ""Find Peace in Chaos""-follow these rules in your own life, and bring a bit of the magic of an Italian summer home. Brimming with photos, Il Dolce Far Niente is for anyone who loves Italy."

Reviews for Il Dolce Far Niente: The Italian Way of Summer

"""Lucy has a great eye for finding style where it naturally exists. Il Dolce Far Niente is a celebration of the inherent beauty of coastal Italy and its people - and of the Italian way of enjoying summer. This is not a book of pretentious exclusive hotels and restaurants; rather, it is a complete view of the seaside at its best - including young and old, rich and poor, locals and visitors. Having traveled to the Amalfi Coast in my twenties and visited Puglia just last summer, I'm reminded that there is so much more to see. I must go back. Soon!""--Amanda Brooks, Founder of Cutter Brooks Shop and Author Nobody captures the Italian sunlight the way Lucy does--her images are transporting. There's a soulfulness and a depth in her work that really gets at the essence of this beautiful country.--Yolanda Edwards, founder and editor of Yolo Journal"
