ldquo;Urbino; aprile 1505. Alberto buttograve; con un gesto del braccio il corto mantello dietro le spalle; poi alzograve; il viso in alto; verso il cielo; guardando come in una giostra le finestre dai telai di marmo che seguivano lrsquo;andamento degli archi. Vide una delle ante aprirsi piano; creando uno spiraglio drsquo;ombra in tutta quella luce.Dal davanzale si era quasi affacciata una giovane donna; in un turbinare di biondo e di azzurri.Ne aveva intravisto per un istante il sorriso; i capelli sciolti di spighe chiare mescolati ad un celeste piugrave; intenso di quello del corpetto e delle maniche.Aveva sorriso a lui; guardandolo negli occhi e sfiorandosi appena il collo con le dita; prima di scomparire di lagrave; dei vetri opachi; in un soffio; gli parve; di seta.rdquo;La storia dellrsquo;amore impossibile del principe Alberto III Pio; raffinato signore di un antico e glorioso casato. Allrsquo;alba del Cinquecento; tra scenari politici in continua mutazione e lrsquo;eco di antichi e nuovi poeti; sboccia un amore prezioso destinato a segnare per sempre i destini dei protagonisti.

I bought this book as a reference book to go back and look at the basics even though I have been doing calligraphy for some time. The reason I bought it was because it was by Eleanor Winters who is such an amazing calligrapher. If anyone is looking to picking up a pen and learning calligraphy this is an excellent book to have.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Highly Recommended for Italic and Copperplate CalligraphersBy Das Englisch von Kouml;niginOne of the Best books Ive seen on italic and copperplate calligraphy. Good; basic; on-point information. If you are a calligrapher with an interest in either of these fonts; I highly recommend it; especially if your are starting out. There is a lot of good information for those with some experience under their belts as well.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Eleanor Winters with another winner!By shoe princessExcellent book for going beyond the basics of copperplate and italic writing; with many different variations of styles. Adds so much personal style and character to calligraphy. Well written with very clear illustration; easy to follow. Highly recommend if one desires to go beyond the basics of calligraphy.
