Christopher Sweet Slim Aarons: La Dolce Vita sku-16343762

Christopher Sweet's Slim Aarons: La Dolce Vita is a hardcover photography book listed under Ages 3-5 Kids' Books, sku-16343762. Aarons first visited Italy as a combat photographer during World War II, later moved to Rome to shoot for Life magazine and continued returning to Italy after relocating to New York.

The photographs span the 1940s through the 1990s and document 50 years of Italian resorts, cities, towns and landscapes. They include portraits of Marcello Mastroianni, Ursula Andress, Joan Fontaine and Tyrone Power, along with photographs of families in palaces, estates and vacation villas.

Harper's Bazaar called the images “Nostalgia-soaked”; Publishers Weekly called them “Sumptuous”; and DuJour magazine wrote, “It’s the next best thing to time travel.”
