Italian Footprints in South Africa chronicles extraordinary
examples of what Italian people have achieved on South African soil.
Whether in the realms of food, motorsport,
architecture, politics, art, music or wine, the influence Italian people and
culture have had on South Africa is as vibrant as the people themselves. While
the times and places they have found themselves have not always been easy, they
have forged ahead with signature Italian warmth and enthusiasm.
A fascinating text and an impressive
collection of photographs make this book an invaluable archive of the Italian
contribution to South Africa, and offer a glimpse of a people known for their
passion and love of life. The result is a unique record of the history of the
Italian nation on South African soil.
The book is full colour, and text is both in
English and Italian.
