This is a beautiful photographic art book titled "Florence Alive", featuring stunning imagery captured by Italian photographer Max Nobile, with a preface by the renowned Italian writer Giorgio Saviane. Published circa 1990, this specific landscape-format hardback edition includes its original protective slipcase, which features a commemorative brass presentation plaque from the Gravograph International Meeting held in Florence in 1990, dedicated to Iain Logan. The book offers a captivating, artistic glimpse into the timeless architecture, sculptures, and classical museum interiors of Florence, Italy, making it an excellent addition for collectors of fine art photography, travel history, or high-end coffee table books. Both the hardcover book and its slipcase are in good vintage condition, showing only minor shelf wear consistent with age, while the interior pages remain clean, crisp, and vibrant.
