Il Dolce Far Niente: The Italian Way of Summer 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.
