Michelangelo, Raphael, Caravaggio, etc.
A place filled with the brilliant works of geniuses who have illuminated the history of art!
Take a leisurely look around with an Italian nationally certified guide
One Artwork a Day: An Intensive Tour of Italian Art Museums

The immediate bestsellers "90 Nights at the Museum" and "90 Nights at the Museum: The Louvre" introduced exquisite works of art from museums across Europe, but there is one important country that has not yet been covered in either volume.
This is Italy, the very beginning and center of Western art history.
Italy is a country where each city, such as Rome, Florence, and Milan, has its own unique history, personality, and unique painting style, making it a shame to visit just one city.
It is also a place where Renaissance artists such as Michelangelo, Raphael, and Leonardo da Vinci created outstanding philosophy and art.


Rome, Florence, Milan, Venice, etc.
Must-see works from each city in one volume!

This book was carefully selected by four Italian government-certified guides who have been working in Italy for over 10 years, and allows you to enjoy one work at a time over 90 days.
It is organized by city, such as Rome, Florence, and Milan, so you can read it as if you were traveling.

Rome is the eternal city with 2,800 years of history. You can feel the breath of history and art everywhere you go, including in Vatican City, the center of Catholicism.
In particular, at the Vatican Museums, considered one of the three greatest art museums in Europe, you can see over 70,000 works of art spanning centuries, including the jaw-droppingly magnificent Sistine Chapel ceiling paintings.
In addition, there is the Galleria Doria Pamphilj, the largest private art museum in Rome, the Villa Farnesina with its beautiful frescoes, and the Basilica of Santa Maria della Vittoria, famous for Bernini's The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa.

Florence, whose name means 'city of flowers', is a city where the Renaissance flourished.
The Uffizi Gallery boasts the world's largest collection of Renaissance paintings, and here you can see works by Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael Sanzio, Sandro Botticelli, Michelangelo, and others.
You can't miss the 'Duomo Opera Museum' behind the Florence Cathedral and the 'Accademia Gallery' which houses Michelangelo's sculpture 'David'.
At the Monastery of San Marco and the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella, you can see works that transcend religion and leave a mark on Western painting.

Milan, the largest city in northern Italy, is a global center of fashion and design.
It is also a place where you can appreciate a wide range of art, including the famous Leonardo da Vinci's 'The Last Supper' and Michelangelo's 'Rondanini Pietà', as well as the recently built Museum of Modern Art.
Don't miss out on discovering the trials and tribulations that "The Last Supper" endured over the years to achieve its current form, and the joy of encountering the fascinating attempts of modern artists.

In Venice, the city of romance, there was the Venetian School of painting, which expressed brilliant light and rich colors.
You can experience the unique atmosphere of Venice through the works of representative painters such as Giovanni Bellini, Giorgione, and Titian.
At the Peggy Guggenheim Museum, you can see paintings by Marc Chagall, Giorgio de Chirico, and René Magritte that depict familiar subjects in strange ways, offering a unique perspective among works that span hundreds of years.

In addition, we will explore paintings housed in various historic art museums and distinctive modern art galleries in Naples, Sicily, Cremona, Piacenza, and Bologna.


The passion of artists reflected in their works
A book filled with the time and effort of authors who emulate that passion.

“Anyone who doesn’t believe in genius, or doesn’t know what genius is, should look at Michelangelo.”
- Romain Rolland

“If people knew how hard I work, they wouldn’t call me a genius.”
- Michelangelo

The conversation between the two people, which at first glance seems like a conversation, makes us think about how great Michelangelo's work was and how much effort and pain it took to create it.
Indeed, the Sistine Chapel ceiling has been delivering an unforgettable and amazing experience to those who have stood beneath it for over 500 years.
Of course, it's not just Michelangelo.
The passion of painters and sculptors who have transcended time and reached us is far beyond the scope of the single title of "genius."


The four authors of this book traveled to distant Italy with the sole desire to share the stories of these artists with as many people as possible.
I've watched and studied the same work thousands of times to provide in-depth commentary that's easy for anyone to understand.
By talking with a variety of audiences, I was able to gain a wide range of appreciation experiences.
This book is the culmination of the time and effort of these authors.
Enjoy a 90-day Italian art tour through the book, hoping to soon be able to travel to see the original paintings.

"90 Nights at the Museum: The Louvre" is the thirteenth book in the "Collect" series, which Dongyang Books started with the goal of creating books that readers would want to keep by their side for a long time.
Discover over 100 beautiful works of art from across Italy that have inspired us for centuries!
