Il Dolce Far Niente is a gorgeous, photographic ode to the magic of southern coastal Italy in the summer by renowned travel, fashion and lifestyle photographer Lucy Laucht.

Throughout these pages, the spirit of summer reigns through the bright blue seas, the long, summer afternoons at the beach, and those fearless dives off the rocks into the sea.

Organized by location, each destination has its own chapter: Naples, Aeolian Islands, Ischia, Amalfi Coast + Capri, Sicily, Apulia and Pantelleria. Filled with photos, Il Dolce Far Niente is for anyone who loves Italy.
