Southern Italy in summer, through the lens

Lucy Laucht’s photographs bring together scenes from Naples, Ischia, the Amalfi Coast, Capri, Puglia, Sicily, and the Aeolian and Egadi Islands. The book frames these coastal places through the textures and atmosphere of summer, including Mediterranean light and the shared rhythms of conversation and leisure. Its organizing idea is *il dolce far niente*—the art of sweet idleness—presented as a distinctly Italian approach to the season. The result is a regional photographic portrait that connects a wide range of southern Italian destinations through a common summer sensibility.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers interested in photographic portrayals of southern Italy.
  • For those drawn to books about regional travel, coastal places, and Italian summer culture.

Book overview

This book is a gorgeous, photographic ode to the magic of southern coastal Italy in the summer by renowned travel, fashion, and lifestyle photographer Lucy Laucht.

A languorous August afternoon. That brilliant light and those impossible Mediterranean blues. The touch of sun on hot skin. And everywhere, the sounds of laughter and lighthearted conversation. Captured by photographer Lucy Laucht, these lyrical scenes of Naples, Ischia, the Amalfi Coast, Capri, Puglia, Sicily, and the Aeolian and Egadi Islands are an ode to the Italian way of summer and that distinctly Italian art of sweet idleness.
