Slim Aarons: La Dolce Vita (Getty Images) Hardcover – November 1, 2012

Slim Aarons: La Dolce Vita is an absolute treasure! This book captures some of Italy’s most breathtaking landscapes through the lens of Slim Aarons, with each photo telling a story of beauty, elegance, and timeless charm. The imagery is top-notch, transporting you straight into Italy’s iconic scenery and lifestyle. It’s a must-have for anyone who appreciates photography or Italian landscapes—truly a stunning addition to any coffee table or photography collection!

Well presented and beautifully photographed. Captures moments in time…

We assumed that as the fourth book in a series of compilations of Slim Aarons's photographs of his years living La Dolce Vita, the material would begin to run a little thin. It doesn't. What a treasure trove he seems to have built during his lifetime of photography. The fact that this book is solely about Italy, which was his preferred home away from home, no doubt helps. Beautiful people, beautiful locations, exquisite photography. And I'm sure I'm not the only guy who will appreciate the additional, more revealing photo of Catherine Wilkes, perhaps St. Louis' most beautiful export.Regarding another reviewer's comments: The book presents photographs "from the period", beautifully reproduced on high quality paper, just as with the prior Aarons books, leading me to believe that the negative reviewer is confusing this book with another publication.Bottom line: if you liked his other three books, as we did, you are likely to enjoy this one just as much. Same format, same size, every bit as enjoyable.

Bought this book as a gift for a client and they loved it. Slim Aarons is an amazing photographer and this book captures the beauty of a glamorous time gone by. Would definitely recommend it for a coffee table book or gift!

I enjoy the pictures. Pics of bougie people living their best life. Gives me good vibes. Colors are nice and vibrant with good quality pics. The paper cover is beautiful but so is the hardcover underneath the paper cover.

It's a Slim Aarons book that should tell you everything. The book arrived quickly and in perfect condition.

Photos beautifully arranged with vivid colors and vivid people! Of course looking at this book makes one desirous of having been born rich, noble and Italian!

Chris Sweet, you've done a fabulous job capturing my father's love of Italy! I always think i've seen most of the photos my dad took, but there are lots in here i've never seen...especially some of the older B&W ones. Of course i'm biased, but the photos are spectacular. The introduction is rich in information about the time my dad spent in Italy and the captions are deep. This is a book my dad would have been so excited to show off. Love it!
