Masumi Ishinabe, "Bernini: Giant Star of Baroque Art" - Recommended biography of the Roman genius Bernini! Read this and you will love Rome even more!
What is art in the first place? Why are we attracted to Rome?
The key to this lies in Bernini.
This was one of those books that gave me a strong sense that if you know Bernini, you can see things in a new light.
I am sure that when I visit Rome again, I will see a different Rome from the last time.
This is a great book that I would highly recommend to anyone who is going to visit Rome and anyone who is interested in Rome! Why don't you pick up a copy?
