Synopsis
For more than three decades, renowned graphic designer and self-described Italophile Louise Fili has traveled the cities and countryside of Italy cataloging the work of sign craftsmen in whose hands type takes on new life with a tantalizing menu of styles. Classical, eclectic, or Futurist; in gold leaf, marble, brass, wood, wrought iron, enamel, ceramic, or neon; painted, carved, inlaid, etched, tiled, or stenciled-- the creative possibilities are endless. Grafica della Strada is Fili's photographic diary of hundreds of Italy's most inventive restaurant, shop, hotel, street, and advertising signs. A major influence on Fili's own work, many of these marvels of vernacular design live on solely in this book, a typographic love letter to Italy that will be an inspiration to designers and Italophiles everywhere.

- u***m (1)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe product I purchased was exactly as described and it was in perfect condition! Not only was the seller responsive every step of the way during the shipping, but they were also kind! When I questioned the product's quality they assured me it was brand new, and when it shipped it had the original box, plastic wrap, and the appearance of the case once unboxed was perfect. The price was higher than MSRP in the US but I couldn't find this case anywhere else. 100% Recommend!
