Italianissimo continues to receive stellar reviews. Here is a sampling:
“With the help of Italianissimo: The Quintessential Guide to What Italians Do Best, I can do some delightful armchair traveling…This nice square book, with glorious photos and great design, is itself very Italian-and, like a serving of pasta at Dal Bolognese in Rome, just enough to satisy. The book is a list of 50 categories. Each gets a two-page spread: smart text, full-page photo. Like a luxury magazine, only on a single subject-the glory of the Italian spirit…Good enough to eat, yes?”
—Jesse Kornbluth, HeadButler
“Italianissimo: The Quintessential Guide to What Italians Do Best is a small book, just over 100 pages, but it packs an enormous amount of pleasure into its modest borders. We shouldn’t be surprised—it’s designed by Louise Fili, one of the truly great graphic designers, and written with Lise Apatoff. Within: Vespas, pasta, Italian light, shoes, soccer, and more. A cover-to-cover delight.”
