Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book details the exquisite beauty of Italy's preeminent lakes, which are set beneath the shadow of the Alps and host a glittering array of gardens and art. Many notable figures of history have strolled along their shores, including Napoleon, Goethe, and Manzoni. The author captures the unique colour and seasonal changes of each lake, from the sapphire blue of Maggiore to the deep green of Como. The text also examines the geological history of the lakes, which were formed by a combination of glacial erosion and the subsidence of the Alps. The book also explores the lives of the people who live on the lakeshores, all of whom feel a deep kinship and affection for the natural beauty that surrounds them.
