ABOUT THE BOOK

Home to some of the world’s most eye‐wateringly beautiful cities, architecture, colours and landscapes, it is only since 2006 that the James Bond films have returned time and again to the European country of Italy. A land where the people are as colourful as the land which they inhabit. Illustrated with images from both the archives of On The Tracks of 007 and those interviewed from the films’ productions, ITALY is the definitive work charting James Bond in film and book as his adventures take you through the beauty and romance of this stunning country.

Filled with anecdotes, travel directions, maps and then/now comparison photos, this book is the ultimate guide to James Bond's adventures in ITALY.

About the author

Simon Firth became interested in, and subsequently hooked on the world of James Bond from a) being asked by his father to come back downstairs from bed to watch on TV Dr No and, months later, Thunderball and b) being taken to the cinema to see The Spy Who Loved Me as a family outing.

While in awe of the present day’s dissection of the subject matter of James Bond into its infinite parts; Clothes, Cars, Food, Drink, Books, Films, Graphic Novels and the multitudinous contributors and content makers plying their knowledgeable and artistic creativity to discuss such, it is the poster artwork that by and large was the greater attraction within.

After publishing his first book, Côte d Azur, Firth immediately set off to write a new story, which together with the neccessary images supplied by Uwe Brosamle, Thomas Gleitsmann and Martijn Mulder, became the stunning addition to the library that is ITALY.
