Pasta! TEXT AND PHOTOGRAPHS BY ACADEMIA BARILLA INTRODUCTIONS BY SCOTT CONANT AND MASSIMO BOTTURA The greatest quality of Italian cuisine, appreciated, sought after andimitated all over the world, lies in the variety of its products andpreparations. Italy is divided into 20 regions that are extremely varied in landscape,climate and history, factors that have contributed to the very different traditions from north to south. This extreme diversity has a common denominator: wheat, flour, pasta. In promoting Italian gastronomic culture, Academia Barilla could not refrain from dedicating a book to the main national dish.This book aims to travel around all of Italy in a journey that covers 100 pasta recipes—fresh pasta, egg pasta, stuffed pasta, long spaghetti or short macaroni—from the Val d’Aosta to Sicily, in the search of old flavors and traditions that are always as good as new. ACADEMIA BARILLA, founded in Parma, the heart of the so-called Food Valley, is appreciated for its extraordinary food products— from Parmesan cheese to Parma ham, to pasta and various specialties. The academy promotes courses that spread knowledge about the Italian gastronomic tradition, distributes the best Italian products, and spreads Italy’s gastronomic culture through publications like this one that recount the unequaled gastronomic riches of the country. MASSIMO BOTTURA, a key figure among a new generation of Italian chefs, draws a fine line between tradition and innovation at his two-Michelin-star restaurant Osteria Francescana located in the heart of Modena’s historic center. He describes his kitchen as “territorial cuisine seen from 10 kilometers away.” Osteria Francescana ranked 6th place at The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2010 and is regarded by the international press as Italy’s best restaurant. SCOTT CONANT brings a deft touch and unwavering passion to creating food that is unexpected and soulful at Faustina as well as at Scarpetta, in New York. A graduate of The Culinary Institute of America, Conant was named one of America’s Best New Chefs by Food & Wine magazine in 2004. He has appeared on The Today Show, MARTHA and Bravo’s Top Chef. On the Food Network, Conant can also be seen as a guest judge on Chopped and as host of the 24 Hour Restaurant Battle. Conant has also published two cookbooks: New Italian Cooking and Bold Italian.

A Matter of Style Intimate portraits of 10 women who changed fashion EDITED BY VALERIA MANFERTO DE FABIANIS PREFACE BY ANNA MOLINARI, TEXT BY PAOLA SALTARI The pages of this book bring to life ten female icons of style and elegance who have captivated entire generations; even today they are inspirational models of beauty and subjects of fascination. This book is an extraordinary photographic collection of women who have marked the history of fashion, from film stars such as Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn to controversial characters like Lady Diana and Coco Chanel. These women helped revolutionize the concept of femininity and, through their personalities and the events in their private lives, featured prominently in the media for years. Stories of unforgettable lives and intimate portraits are celebrated in a book without precedent. VALERIA MANFERTO DE FABIANIS was born in Vercelli, Italy. She studied literature and earned her degree in philosophy from the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan. A travel and nature enthusiast, she has collaborated in the production of television documentaries and numerous photojournalism reports for the leading Italian specialist magazines, and has also written the text for many photography books. In 1984, she and Marcello Bertinetti founded White Star Publishers, of which she became editor-in-chief. ANNA MOLINARI was born and started to work in Carpi where she still lives and works. After finishing school, she started working for her parents’ company, a famous knitwear manufacturer in Carpi, where she acquired experience and perfected her techniques. In 1977, she decided to leave her parents’ company to take the plunge into the world of fashion; together with her husband Giampaolo Tarabini, she founded Blumarine. And this is how Anna Molinari’s fairy tale began. As a designer, she is endowed with incredible creativity and joie de vivre that she transmits to all her collections. Molinari loves her children, her friends and her husband. She also loves traveling, surrounding herself with antique and modern objects, painting, and music.

Lingerie EDITED BY VALERIA MANFERTO DE FABIANIS TEXT BY ANNA FOLLI From the crinoline to thigh highs, and from the corset to the Gstring you can choose to conceal or to reveal, the important thing is to be liked and to like yourself. In this book, the history of lingerie is seen both for its elegance and from an ironic angle. Starting from the first bodices and corsets which were true instruments of constriction hidden under layers of crinolines, we come to the glittering and theatrical display of lingerie on the catwalks of the most recent fashion shows of Victoria’s Secret. The century between these two extremes ushered in social changes that influenced our habits: we can see a reflection of these changes in the colorful advertising campaigns of the 20th century and enjoy comparing that retro style with today’s glossy advertising. And while some past slogans may raise a smile out of amusement or nostalgia, the pictures of film stars shown “in déshabillé,” on or off the set, are absolutely breathtaking. Hovering precariously between modesty and provocation, lingerie remains inextricably linked with feminine evolution and reflects, better than any other garment, changes in society.

VALERIA MANFERTO DE FABIANIS was born in Vercelli and graduated in Philosophy at the Catholic University of Milan. She is passionate about travel and nature. She has worked on the production of television documentaries and various reports for the most prestigious specialized Italian magazines. She has also written the text of numerous photographic volumes. In 1984, together with Marcello Bertinetti, she founded White Star Publishers where she took on the position of Editorial Director. Among her achievements, the successful Cubebook collection is worthy of note. Her other books include: Fidel Castro - El Líder Máximo: a Life in Pictures, John Lennon - In his Life and Fur and Feathers... an Unusual Farm. ANNA FOLLI graduated in Humanities at the State University, Milan, specializing in contemporary Italian literature. Since 1996, she has worked as a professional journalist, and has been director of Anche Noi and editor-in-chief of Arredare. Since 1999 she has worked as a freelance writer, specializing in the fields of culture, current affairs and tourism, and she has also made documentaries all over the world. Ms. Folli contributes articles to many of the leading Italian publishers.

More Than Just a Kiss The greatest love movies TEXT BY ROBERT MARICH More Than Just a Kiss presents a collection of the greatest love movies, etched in the public’s mind for their romantic stories featuring famous actors, framed in epic surroundings, and delivering memorable words. Fifty memorable films, from the black and white era to today, are handsomely presented and analyzed in words and pictures. The book explains their enduring appeal, provides entertaining insight on the talent that made them, and points out little known but fascinating bits of their history. The sophisticated atmosphere of English Patient, elegiac style of Out of Africa, and pageantry of Shakespeare in Love. The book has plenty of star power provided by Julia Roberts, Kate Winslet, Tom Cruise, Meg Ryan, Richard Gere, Hugh Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Humphrey Bogart and others. And then there are the words that inspire the romance! From When Harry Met Sally…, the Meg Ryan character captures the sad plight of wounded hearts on the rebound with “The first date back is always the toughest, Harry.” And a non-sensual phrase from Casablanca somehow resonates forever with moviegoers as a romantic/tragic farewell in “Here’s looking at you kid.”

Film journalist/analyst ROBERT MARICH, who authored the book Marketing to Moviegoers, has a quarter century experience writing about film and media. His article have appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Variety, Hollywood Reporter and London-based Screen International. Marich recently finished editing and revising the latest edition of a college textbook about the music industry. Now based in the New York City area, he has covered film while living in Los Angeles, London and New York.

Horses Master portraits PHOTOGRAPHS BY FABIO PETRONI FOREWORD BY OLIVIERO TOSCANI PREFACE BY MEREDITH MICHAELS-BEERBAUM The history of horses is tightly interwoven with that of humanity, which owes its equine friends a great deal, from fieldwork to transport, from traveling and discovering to sports. This volume is a tribute to mankind’s tireless companion. Clever use of light, which comes from Petroni’s long experience as a still life and portrait photographer, has enabled him to create original images, with a style that is somewhat unusual for animal photographs—a style that is spectacularly enhanced thanks to the book’s large format. The thing that, above all, has enabled the photographer to communicate so directly the true essence of these magnificent quadrupeds is undoubtedly his emotional closeness to his models, the result of love and knowledge developed over so many years. Here, in front of the camera, are smart, timid, aggressive, proud, indolent, protective, curious, and gentle horses, in an explosion of emotions.

LARGE FORMAT 34 X 41,5 CM

His particular focus is on portraits and still life, areas in which he has demonstrated his intuitive and rigorous style. He is the official photographer of the IJRC (International Jumping Riders Club), and is responsible for the public image of major international horse-riding. OLIVIERO TOSCANI is known as the creative force behind the world's most famous newspapers and brands, and as a conceiver of successful corporate images and publicity campaigns. The recipient of prestigious international awards and recognition, he is Accademico d’Onore at the Accademia delle Belle Arti in Florence.

Kittens & Kittens PHOTOGRAPHS BY JANE BURTON Small and frightened, impetuous and clumsy, all the kitten’s nuances have a place in this book, enriched by shots from a photographer whose passion for animals helped her capture the most diverse expressions and amusing behavior of these little felines. From their first steps around their mother to the first games with their siblings, the uncontrollable desire to discover the world makes these small kittens move in all directions with a disarming natural simplicity. Readers will be immersed in a universe of kittens.

JANE BURTON (1933-2007) Had a lifelong love of animals. She trained as an artist and started by illustrating books and magazines with lifelike drawings of animals. She later traveled with her husband to many parts of the world photographing wildlife. During this period she also made several wildlife films for television. Some 30 years ago she began photographing domestic animals, especially cats, and now has a worldwide reputation as a cat photographer. Burton always took immense care to ensure that her subjects were thoroughly acclimatized to the studio environment before beginning a photo session. As a consequence, her photographs, almost without exception, show animals that are happy and behaving normally. Drawing from her immense archives, White Star published A Cat’s Life (2008), an extraordinary gallery of splendid and captivating pictures from the feline world, and Puppies. Wet Noses and Fuzzy Bellies (2009).

Last African Warriors TEXT AND PHOTOGRAPHS BY GIANNI GIANSANTI This large format photography book, with its striking visual impact, is a collection of work by the late Gianni Giansanti. The material comes from his travels in Africa, the cradle of humanity, where ancestral ties to nature still exist. It chronicles the lifestyle and social structure of Ethiopian tribes in the Omo Valley, looking at populations of warriors as well as peaceful peoples, highlighting the pride and strength of these individuals so accustomed to physical hardship and suffering. Enhanced by these extraordinary images, this volume also pays homage to the skill of a photographer who was always present for history in the making, and who never gave up on his search for the origins of man.

A photography exhibit partially taken from this book will open in September 2010 at the National Museum of Science and Technology in Milan.

GIANNI GIANSANTI began his career as a freelance photographer in Italy in 1978. He provided exclusive coverage for important events in Italian history and won many international prizes for his reporting. His photo essays often became bestsellers; among the most successful were John Paul II and Benedict XVI, published by White Star Editions. In 2009, Giansanti also created an exhibit called “Twenty Italians Who Are Changing Italy.� This photographic retrospective, presented in Florence at Palazzo Strozzi, was a great public and critical success.

Once Upon a Time in Africa 50 years of explorations and adventures TEXT AND PHOTOGRAPHS BY ANGELO AND ALFREDO CASTIGLIONI PREFACE BY GIOVANNA SALVIONI AND ALESSANDRO ROCCATI An extraordinary journey through time to discover the real roots of a continent and its people.

ONCE UPON A TIME IN AFRICA 50 YEARS OF EXPLORATIONS AND ADVENTURES Text and photographs by Angelo and Alfredo Castiglioni Format: 25,5 x 29,5 cm 272 pages in color 507 color photographs hardcover with jacket 978 88 544 0485 4

GBP 45,00

The last heirs of the great explorers of the 19th century, twins Angelo and Alfredo have collected, during the long decades of field research, precious documents, exceptional photos and new evidence of a continent that no longer exists. Entered with strength in the Third Millennium and in the global communication routes, Africa travels, today, towards modernity, wiping out, day after day, every heritage of its own composite cultural and ethnic identity. For this reason the precious archeological and anthropological work made by the Castiglioni brothers is particularly important today. This volume reconstructs, through the almost 50-year career of the two Italian explorers, the deep identity of the Black Continent, from the most ancient traditions to the surprising passing rituals. An important part of the volume is dedicated to the archeological expeditions in Africa, starting with the discovery in the Nubian Desert in Sudan of Berenice Panchrysos, the “entirely gold” city of pharaohs, quoted by Pliny the Elder in his Naturalis Historia whose traces were lost. A find that the French Academician, Jean Vercoutter considered “among the great discoveries of archeology.” ANGELO and ALFREDO CASTIGLIONI carried out, for nearly 50 years, research expeditions in the archeological, anthropological and ethnologic field, most of all making accurate cine-photographic documentations. They have published several books and made five films, distributed in the national and international circuits: Africa segreta (1969); Africa Ama (1971); Magia Nuda (1975) with Alberto Moravia’s commentary; Addio Ultimo Uomo (1979) with Vittorio Suttafava’s commentary; and Africa dolce e selvaggia (1982). GIOVANNA SALVIONI teaches Cultural Anthropology and Ethnology at the Catholic University of Milan. Her training initially cultivated an interest in traditional African cultures. This was followed by an interest in the culture of the Roma ethnic group, in light of the general fight against all forms of poverty, discrimination, and racism. ALESSANDRO ROCCATI holds the Chair of Egyptology at the University of Turin. He has taught at several universities, both in Italy and abroad, and participated in numerous archeological missions in Egypt and Sudan. He has also organized international exhibits and conventions, and published many scientific works. From the start, his interests lay in the field of philology, language, literature, and culture of pharaonic Egypt.

A fascinating journey in pictures will help you discover the most magnificent peaks, the seas and the oceans with their submerged wonders, the endless deserts, the eternal ice fields, and the luxuriant forests that cover our planet. The book is enriched by a very careful selection of pictures—panoramic views intermingled with closer perspectives—that bring the reader even closer to the detail of the subjects. The Earth’s natural heritage, widely and diversely illustrated, produces a kaleidoscope of colors and unexpected revelations.

This is a volume rich in powerful images, dedicated to the most overwhelming and intoxicating aspects of the sea, the incredible violence unleashed during storms, and the extraordinary force of waves with their disturbing beauty. The sea is life, pure energy expressed in ways that evoke the most diverse states of mind. The sea is movement. Nothing embodies certain explosive sensations, feelings or uncontrollableurges better than waves breaking on rocks during a storm, exploding in white clouds of salt water, or the violence of a storm in the open sea, when nature’s irrepressible fury is unleashed in all of its unpredictability. In these pages, the sea is also revealed as the symbol of nature as a friend, as a positive force running through the white swirls of waves. It is ridden with mastery and audacity by adventurous surfers, protagonists of an extraordinary gallery of images. They venture patiently and fearlessly into the midst of frightfully powerful waves up to 17-feet (5-m) high, in order to ride their clear blue surface with an unmatched thrill. And there they go, leaping onto the crest of the wave at precisely the right moment, to finally dominate the wave and, in doing so, to exercise the same control over themselves, their emotions, and their own lives. Just as captivating are the images of other men battling against the force of the sea; famous sportsmen or common workmen caught in the vortex of a storm, with all their senses alert and the tension that comes from feeling all their remaining energy put to the test. Giant waves rise high and menacing, then crash down on the seamen with an infernal roar. The waves strike the ship with increasing speed and intensity,while the air resonates with the strident sounds of the storm. This book evokes the voice of the storm through a collection of powerful photographs that arouse strong emotions, both in those who know the sea well through direct experience, and in those who dream of it, like a mirror of their own soul and the expression of multiple states of their own conscience.

ORNELLA D’ALESSIO, a great traveler by vocation, D’Alessio is a freelance journalist and author of guides and books. She collaborates with leading weekly and monthly travel magazines. Since adolescence, her curiosity and nomad spirit have led her to discover distant places and their cultures. But her greatest love is the sea, which has motivated her to cross oceans and face storms—only sometimes perfect. She’s often accompanied by her children, Marianna and Pietro. Her passion for the Mediterranean led her to return to Liguria, her only true land, where she has chosen to live.

Small Towns and Villages of the World TEXT BY PAOLO PACI PREFACE BY GIANNI BIONDILLO This book presents a selection of magical places, genuine architectural, artistic and cultural gems set in peaceful, serene, suggestive atmospheres. The 80 villages selected were chosen due to the presence of buildings and urban structures of historical and architectural interest. These are eloquent testimonies to the specific historical identity of a country or a region, as well as the architectural, cultural and aesthetic tradition that characterizes it. All of the featured locations have a strong “genius loci” (spirit of the place) that is still perceptible today. Some of the villages are better known than others, and they are typically small, both in size and population. The book’s authors are art historians who are involved in projects to valorize local heritage. The book is written in a brisk, pleasant style and is illustrated with a collection of spectacular photographs, with extensive aerial views and suggestive panoramas, all of which bring to light the charm and cultural wealth of these historic treasures. PAOLO PACI has been a professional journalist since 1991. His career began in 1983 with Weekend Viaggi, where he became the managing editor in 1992. He went on to participate in the design and launch of Viaggiesapori. VS Viaggiare Scoprire followed in 2006, and he became the editor-in-chief in 2009. Paci is an enthusiastic globetrotter, specializing in travel, gastronomy, and Alpine cultures. He has reported from all over the world and published a dozen books with various publishers. For Mondadori in 2005 he wrote 365 giorni sulle Alpi. His most recent works were published by Feltrinelli: Alpi, una grammatica d’alta quota; Cuochi, artisti, visionari; Evitare le buche più dure. In the 1990s he designed and coordinated the Guide Weekend series for Quadratum, and he is currently sub-editor of La Cucina Italiana. GIANNI BIONDILLO is a writer, a poet, an essayist and a scriptwriter for cinema and television. His first novel, Per cosa si uccide (2004) which met with a very favourable response from both the public and critics, was the first in a successful series of detective novels, set in today’s multi-racial Milan. The main characters are a police inspector and the city itself which plays a major role in the plot. The changing face of a city is a theme to which Biondillo dedicated two books, where he accompanies the reader through metropolitan suburbs, viewed as creative spaces that reflect the changes taking place in our society.

Close to God Journey to the places of Christian spirituality TEXT BY PIETRO TARALLO The veneration of holy places is one of the oldest forms of expression of popular Christian piety. A sense of holiness tends to be embodied by the places as well as by some exceptional individuals and every culture has endeavored to honor these places, which are considered to be an expression and embodiment of the Divine. The first to be visited with assiduity were the sites in Palestine that have been pilgrimage destinations since the first centuries of the spreading of Christianity. The veneration of saints and martyrs led to the creation of sanctuaries all over the Western world, and since the 4th century these places were increasingly widespread: one such example is Santiago de Compostela in Spain. In the Middle Ages, many of these sites were considered to be surrounded by an aura of grace; visiting was an act of penance and obtained merit in the eyes of God. Today, these places are still significant pilgrimage destinations to millions of faithful in addition to being popular tourist destinations for non-believers because of their vast historical and artistic heritage. This book is dedicated to those, believers or otherwise, who wish to explore the wealth of art and culture found in these important places of faith.

PIETRO TARALLO was born in Florence in 1941 and graduated in law and humanities. He has worked in advertising, as a teacher, and a journalist. He now works with leading Italian magazines and several publishers for whom he has written various books. He has written dozens of tourist guides on Europe, Asia, Africa, America and Australia for various publishers in addition to a series of guides to holy places for ABA Libri, Piemme and Editions Horay. He has written material and scripts for documentaries on Liguria and others filmed by Adriano Zecca for Canale 5, Piemme, RAI-TV and Televisione Svizzera Italiana.

Great discoveries in Archaeology The past revealed TEXT BY MARK J. ROSE AND ETI BONN-MULLER What did English archaeologist Howard Carter say and how did he feel when opening the door to Tutankhamun’s tomb for the first time? Which of Homer’s footsteps did the German Heinrich Schliemann follow when making the dreams of every scholar come true by identifying the ruins of Troy? This book, which includes period photographs of the great dig sites and the objects found there, recalls the events surrounding the most important archaeological discoveries of all time, from the sands of Egypt and the forests of Central America to the ancient cities of the Mediterranean and the palaces of the Middle East. This is an enthralling work that accompanies the reader through stories of great archaeologists, and some regular people who, thanks to their intuition, tenacity or good fortune, have revealed some of the great wonders of antiquity to the world.

MARK J. ROSE received his MA and PhD in classical archaeology from Indiana University and specialized in Aegean prehistory. He has studied faunal remains from numerous sites throughout the eastern Mediterranean, including Kommos, Crete; Franchthi Cave, Greece; and Hala Sultan Tekke, Cyprus. He has worked for the Archaeological Institute of America for more than two decades and published on a wide variety of topics, ranging from Predynastic Egypt to the ethics of archaeology and the media. He is currently researching the death of Seqenenre Taa II. He has been the online editorial director of Archaeology magazine and the AIA since 2000. ETI BONN-MULLER received her MA in eastern Mediterranean archaeology from K.U. Leuven, Belgium. Her research subjects on the Bronze Age have included the art of body painting and tattooing in the Aegean, which was the subject of her undergraduate thesis at Harvard University, and a comparison of ivories from Greece, Cyprus, and the Near East. She has participated in excavations at Palaikastro on Crete and Sagalassos in Turkey. After working at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, she joined the staff of Archaeology magazine, where she has written on the archaeology of China, Crete, Egypt, Germany, and Israel. She is currently the AIA online senior editor.

The Art of the Pharaohs PREFACE BY ZAHI HAWASS, TEXT BY GIORGIO FERRERO PHOTOGRAPHS BY ARALDO DE LUCA Thanks to its large format, this magnificently illustrated book shows portraits and monuments that are considered to be artistic masterpieces of antiquity in a new light. It traces the profiles of several sovereigns, presenting an accurate and in-depth picture of the history and art of Ancient Egypt and its undisputed protagonists: the Pharaohs. “King of Upper and Lower Egypt,” “Lord of the Two Lands,” and “Son of Ra,” are some of the titles held by the sovereigns who ruled over one of the richest and most powerful states of antiquity for more than 3,000 years. The history of Ancient Egypt through the millennia is marked by a succession of sovereigns and dynasties. The Pharaoh played a central role in the ideology and the concept of reality of Ancient Egyptians. This can be seen in the many monuments that feature and commemorate the feats of these sovereigns and the royal lists compiled by the ancient scribes. The Pharaoh, as the incarnation of the falcon god Horus and son of the sun god Ra, was the guarantor of cosmic order on Earth (Maat) and the intermediary between the gods and men. Chief priest, head of the army and head of political and administrative life, the Pharaoh was the prototype for the absolute monarch and, to some degree, his figure personified the state. Some Pharaohs left such traces of themselves that they became historical immortal figures. The names Khufu, Tutankhamun and Ramesses II remain well known after thousands of years due to their monuments and treasures. Of the other Pharaohs, the names and fragments of representations are the only traces we can use today to reconstruct the events of those times. ZAHI HAWASS is Secretary General of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, and through the years he has made important archaeological discoveries. He is the author of numerous publications on ancient Egypt, including The Realm of the Pharaohs and The Treasures of the Pyramids (White Star Publishers). GIORGIO FERRERO received his degree in Egyptology from the University of Milan. He has published the volume Egypt - History and Treasures of an ancient Civilization (White Star Publishers). ARALDO DE LUCA is considered one of the world’s greatest photographers of statuary and jewelry. His photographs have been published by White Star Publishers in the volumes: Egyptian Treasures, from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo; Tutankhamun; The Valley of the Kings; Ramesses II; and The Treasures of the Pyramids.

FRONTLIST HISTORY AND TREASURES OF AN ANCIENT CIVILIZATION

The Phoenicians TEXT BY ENRICO ACQUARO AND PAOLA DE VITA A fascinating pictorial journey of one of the most important Mediterranean civilizations. The volume goes over the most significant moments in the history of Phoenicians, from their origins in the East to their transfer to the West and the foundation of Carthage. The Phoenician colonization touched large regional areas, from North Africa to Sicily, from Sardinia to the Iberian Peninsula. The “imperial” adventure of Carthage followed the tracks of this colonization and clashed first with the Greeks living in Sicily and then with Rome. This volume, deriving its themes from the most recent results of historical and archeological research, is directed to a non-specialized public and its purpose is to provide an overall picture of the Phoenician civilization.

Dedicated to the art and culture of Thailand, this volume explores the ancient and various origins of this country’s modern identity. The Thai identity is the result of an extraordinary process of integration, clashes and selection of different cultural traditions, an expression of the various civilizations that inhabited the same area over time. From the contacts with the Indian world to the beginning of the first Buddhist Dvaravati civilization, to the provincial features of the Khmer civilization and the flourishing of the first reign, this book illuminates the fascinating route to modern Thailand through the most up-to-date historical studies and reconstruction based on archeological and artistic testimonies.
