A dynamic intersection of pictorial and photographic, architectural and literary discourses inform Steimatsky¹s revisionist interrogation of exemplary works from the 1940s to the mid1960s. "Vivid and elegantly written, Italian Locations is an original and thought-provoking book." ‹Geoffrey Nowell-Smith "Noa Steimatsky brilliantly uses new materials and perspectives to illuminate the central films in Italian Locations. An outstanding book." ‹P.
