Roberto Bolle: Voyage Into Beauty

This arresting collection of over 100 colour plates is as much a celebration of Italy's UNESCO World Heritage sites as of the dancer himself whose sculpted and statuesque form is appropriately placed by Fabrizio Ferri in the ruins of Pompeii. Bolle, besmirched with volcanic grit and soot, assumes the contorted attitude of one of the corpses excavated from the ashes or stands draped like figures in the frescoes behind him or reclines on a stone bench in the cavernous ruined baths - as Roman bathers once had. The remainder of the photographs, by Luciano Romano, show Bolle performing in the beautiful and unique architectural sites of Rome,Milan, Naples, Florence, Verona, Venice, Capri and Sicily. Sometimes these amphitheatres and temples are the subject, photographed against the blue of the Mediterranean but more often it's the airborne figure of Bolle himself with the architecture as a magnificent backdrop. Here Bolle flamboyantly fulfils his role as a cultural ambassador for UNESCO, reminding us of the vital importance of preserving Italy's heritage for the world.

A simply stunning book in perfect condition.

If you love Roberto Bolle, you will love this book. Beautiful photographs in which Roberto looks like a god !

Ho regalato il volume a Natale sapendo che sarebbe stato un dono gradito e così è stato. Il personaggio Bolle si commenta da sé attraverso la propria danza, la propria grazia e la propria prestanza fisica. Tutto ciò traspare dalle immagini non banali che sanno raccontare questa vita costruita con lavoro, sacrificio e dedizione. Un libro da sfogliare e da leggere, da guardare e da riprendere. Curata la veste grafica completata da una rilegatura di qualità.
