The Queen of the Dolomites: Living in Cortina d'Ampezzo

Austrian for a long time, but Italian after the First World War, Cortina d'Ampezzo is one of Europe's most exclusive resorts. Having been awarded the Olympic Games in 1956 and becoming a holiday destination for the great Venetian families. The pearl of the Dolomites is a symbol of glamour and splendour on the Italian and international scene.

Divided into two parts that follow the changing colours of nature, this book opens the doors of some of Cortina's most elegant homes, revealing its incomparable lifestyle through living rooms dominated by wood, retro-style kitchens, richly decorated tables, sumptuous bedrooms and wooden staircases reinterpreted in a modern tone. It is a story entirely devoted to Cortina, from sports to folk traditions, from beautiful fabrics to typical materials, with many curiosities about the people - writers, intellectuals, artists - who have helped to build the myth of the resort.
