Palermo.
<p>English book</p><p>Livre en Anglais</p><p></p><p><meta charset="utf-8"><span>Palermo has been given a host of toponyms over time, as if each name reflected the city’s multifaceted, ever-changing nature, shaped by its centuries-long history. From the traces of a great Greek and Roman presence, to its Arab-Norman buildings and gleaming mosaics, from the inlays and dazzling whites of the flourishing Baroque period, right up to the 20</span><sup>th</sup><span>century with its elegant Art Nouveau – all of these layers unfold in the pages of this volume.</span></p><p><span><meta charset="utf-8">The curator Giorgio Villani’s texts outline an itinerary for discovering Palermo, introducing readers to key moments and places, and ending with a gallery of characters who, though unique and at times peculiar, are deeply relevant to the city’s composite identity. Each chapter also includes a carefully curated selection of excerpts from well-known writers, poets and travellers of the past with their descriptions of the city, forming a literary anthology where eras and styles blend together. The sharp, affectionate and sometimes nostalgic gaze of local intellectuals is complemented by the external perspective of those who, arriving from afar, are no less attuned to the city's wonders and eccentricities. Alongside the texts, images of monuments, palaces, churches and artworks, captured by renowned photographers such as Massimo Listri and Luciano Romano, reveal a city of irresistible charm which proudly displays its evocative and enduring magnificence.</span></p> Fontanellato, 2025 Franco Maria Ricci 233 p., nombreuses fig. couleur, nombreuses photographies couleur, reliure toile sous jaquette 29 x 30,8

Grande album di calligrafia lavoro di Giuseppe Palermo.
(1852).
Première (?) édition. Calligraphie et typographie du monde entier et de toutes époques. Illustré par 100 planches gravées. Cette édition est ici sans date. Ce livre a été publié aussi sous un titre un peu différent "Grande album di calligrafia dedicato da Guiseppe Palermo" et avec 3 feuillets liminaires, sans doute de dédicace. Notre exemplaire est similaire à celui de la Bibliotheek Universiteit van Amsterdam. Mouillure claire au bas des premières planches, quelques pointes de rousseurs, reliure un peu frottée. Bon exemplaire de ce monumental ouvrage, peu commun. /// In-folio oblong de titre, 100 planches. Demi-basane brune, dos orné. (Reliure de l'époque.) //// First (?) edition. Calligraphy and typography from all over the world and from all periods. Illustrated with 100 engraved plates. This edition is here undated. This book was also published under a slightly different title "Grande album di calligrafia dedicato da Guiseppe Palermo" and with 3 introductory leaves, probably a dedication. Our copy is similar to the one in the Bibliotheek Universiteit van Amsterdam. Light dampstaining at the bottom of the first few plates, a few spots of freckling, binding a little rubbed. A good copy of this monumental and uncommon work.
