È il 1842: Pietro, abile calafato, lascia il lago di Como e si trasferisce sul lago d'Iseo, a Sarnico, dove ha inizio l'avventura dei Riva. Nascono le barche da pesca, poi i battelli a vapore e ancora i primi scafi da corsa e da diporto. Nelle pagine del volume Decio Giulio Carugati racconta la storia dell'evoluzione del Cantiere Riva. L'iconografia declina le immagini di alcuni tra gli scafi più famosi e dei personaggi che hanno contribuito a caratterizzare, per oltre un secolo, il mondo della navigazione da diporto.

Walking served as an occasion for the display of power and status in ancient Rome, where great men paraded with their entourages through city streets and elite villa owners strolled with friends in private colonnades and gardens. In this book-length treatment of the culture of walking in ancient Rome, Timothy O'Sullivan explores the careful attention which Romans paid to the way they moved through their society. He employs a wide range of literary, artistic and architectural evidence to reveal the crucial role that walking played in the performance of social status, the discourse of the body and the representation of space. By examining how Roman authors depict walking, this book sheds new light on the Romans themselves - not only how they perceived themselves and their experience of the world, but also how they drew distinctions between work and play, mind and body, and Republic and Empire.

This volume studies the architecture and urbanism of modern-era Italian colonialism (1869-1943) as it sought to build colonies in North and East Africa and the eastern Mediterranean. Mia Fuller follows, not only the design of the physical architecture, but also the development of colonial design theory, based on the assumptions made about the colonized, and also the application of modernist theory to both Italian architecture and that of its colonies. Moderns Abroad is the first book to present an overview of Italian colonial architecture and city planning. In chronicling Italian architects' attempts to define a distinctly Italian colonial architecture that would set Italy apart from Britain and France, it provides a uniquely comparative study of Italian colonialism and architecture that will be of interest to specialists in modern architecture, colonial studies, and Italian studies alike.
