Tuscany - Empoli com'era
Editori dell'Acero - Art and Territory

The series "Art and Territory" is a collection of works which aim at enhancing the historical and artistic heritage of a more or less limited area; they may be either monographs on buildings or volumes on the works of art of the historical places of a communal territory or a precise area.

Mille & Una Toscana

Format:
cm 25 x 31; pp. 176; 164 illustration coloured; cover with golden over- impressions; plastified cover; € 40,00

In this book we wanted to collect, allthough it's a briefly collection of photos and for that reason something will be missed out, the storical and landscape-painting essence of Tuscany. We wanted to do that within a range of photos which includes the Appeninnes, some plains around the Arno river, usually left out from the books on Tuscany tout court. It emerges a picture of a territory which, although being always homogeneous both culturally and politically across the centuries, is a cliché where there are many traditions and costumes due to the numerous battles between cities, districts which also divided its centres. But these various aspects both urbanistic and human are added to others with a result of a thousand Tuscanies united in one, in a book which wants to praise and give a summary of a place never enough known.
Vinci, Leonardo's town. Architecture, Works of Art and Territory

Format: cm 29x21; pp. 160; 120 photo; coloured plastic-coated; cover price € 20,66

This volume intends to do justice to a historical town and a territory that have always been subjected to the renown of Leonardo, the very famous artist and scientist, by presenting the rich historical and artistic heritage that Vinci and its territory can offer.
Empoli in the past

Format: cm 29x29; pp. 144; 70 photo; coloured plastic-coated; cover price
€28,48

This volume rich in old images is a fundamental instrument in order not to forget the recent past of Empoli and above all those aspects that have changed and disappeared. This collection of seventy photographs includes views of the beginning of the twentieth century, images of the streets in the town centre at the end of the nineteenth century, photographs of the newly planted gardens that have become parks full of very old plants, bell towers and places that do not exist any longer.
