The new book by Arkady Viktorovich Ippolitov, a well-known writer and curator of Italian engravings at the State Hermitage Museum, is preceded by an introductory article about Venus of Willendorf, a small late Paleolithic statuette familiar to mass audiences from the cult series "The Young Pope" by Neapolitan director Paolo Sorrentino.
But, as the author writes, the collection "contains a lot of other things". Here are articles written in different years, but for the first time collected under one cover and united by common themes: painting, cinema, architecture, photography. As always, the author impresses with his brilliant erudition and ability to captivate the reader with a lively narrative.
Remembering that all roads lead to Rome, we can say that all roads begin in Rome: the collection opens with the article "Fellini's Rome and Piranesi's Rome". However, Italy occupies a significant place in the book, which is natural for a specialist in Italian art.
