About the book: The photochromes and hand-colored black-and-white photos in this volume show a lost world, an Italy on the cusp of modernity, yet still seeming to dream an age-old dream. They lead to the origins of the photographic image of Italy and reveal narratives and myths that reach far back into the past and continue to shape our collective imaginations to this day.
