Produktbeschreibung

A comprehensive exploration of the cultural, historical, and artistic significance of palm trees through the lens of Francesco Ragazzi’s photography. Palm trees have played a significant role throughout history, symbolizing sustenance, shelter, and spirituality across various cultures. This new book by Francesco Ragazzi - Founder and Creative Director of Palm Angels - curated by Stefano Tonchi, is thoughtfully structured to offer a comprehensive exploration of the multifaceted significance of the palm tree as a powerful cultural and artistic symbol. Tonchi’s foreword sets the tone, providing insight into the enduring allure of palm trees in art and fashion. Giovanni Aloi follows with a short essay that examines the relationship between nature and art, detailing the historical significance of palm trees and their representation in contemporary art. Philosopher Emanuele Coccia contributes a text on the symbology of palms, delving into their rich symbolic history and philosophical implications across different cultures. The focal point of the book is an evocative photographic essay by Ragazzi, which meticulously captures the palm tree—an emblem central to his brand, Palm Angels, featuring fifty unique photographs and enriched by contributions from interdisciplinary artists and friends of the brand.
