«Le promesse della bellezza» is Stefano Zecchi's essay on aesthetics, published by Mondadori in hardcover (144 pages, in Italian).
Stefano Zecchi asks why we consider a body, a landscape, an action or a thought beautiful, and why the word «bellezza» has become almost empty in intellectual discourse. In a conversational tone, he traces the history of aesthetics through the ideas of artists, writers and philosophers such as Plato, Shakespeare, Freud and Picasso.
The book, originally published on September 12, 2006, is part of Mondadori's Saggi collection.
A suitable read for those approaching aesthetics and the philosophy of art with an interest in a clear and accessible exposition.
Italian writer and journalist (born 1945)
