Description
The Italian Line's majestic ocean liners were a testament to Italy's post-war resurgence. Named after the country's most revered Renaissance masters, these vessels boasted unparalleled size and prestige in the nation's merchant marine. This book tells their story, from conception to their poignant conclusion, delving into the design origins and interior décor of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raffaello. Profusely illustrated throughout, this book offers a glimpse into the triumphs and tragedies of these ships' careers, as well as what it was like to live and work on board. The Italian Line's 'ships of state' may have been a response to the changing world above, but their legacy lives on in the pages of this tribute. With its unique blend of history and visual storytelling, this book is an engaging read for anyone interested in transportation, ships, or the history of Italy's merchant marine.
