Il Dolce Far Niente. The Italian Way of Summer

[Lucy Laucht]

Lucy Laucht's photographs transport the reader to the Italian coast and celebrate the "sweet joy of doing nothing", or Il Dolce Far Niente. Laucht's images of Italians on holiday - in Naples, Ischia, the Amalfi Coast, Capri, Puglia, Sicily, and the Aeolian and Egadi Islands - are an ode to the Italian Summer and times spent in relaxation and sweet idleness.
