With coffee table book "The Monocle Book of Italy," the Monocle team celebrates the endlessly fascinating and culturally rich country of Italy. Prepare to see Italy through a whole new lens.

Italy feels familiar to many. The name alone conjures up images of ruby red tomatoes, zippy Vespas and classic statues - but behind the clichés lies a complexity and variety that is enduringly surprising. This is a place where laid-back living meets industrious craft, where affluent customers feast on simple dishes in rustic trattorias, and where family, community and passion are the threads that thread everything together.

For more than a decade, Monocle has roamed all over the boot - from the craggy peaks of the Dolomites to the azure waters of Sicily - and this is the result of their dedicated reporting. Join them as they throw down their towels at the best bagni, sit front row at dazzling fashion shows, dock at vineyards, gelato spots and furniture fairs and maybe even visit a disco or two.
