A celebrated international gallery of photographic beauty, the Pirelli Calendar has featured such top models as Iman, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss. Its acclaimed photographers, among them Peter Knapp, Joyce Tennison, Robert Freeman, Norman Parkinson, Peter Lindbergh and Richard Avedon, have defined through select images a unique ideal of beauty in the world: erotic escape from reality. Innovative visual fantasies, somewhere between glamour photography and the fashion photography which would become unbiquitous to mainstream advertising, made the calendar an astonishing success from its first publication in 1963. Now every page of every Pirelli calendar and the out-takes are brought together in this collection. Photographic historian Italo Zannier and journalist Guido Vergani trace the calendar's evolution over three and a half decades, revealing a history of beauty in photographs.

<p>The young German Wilhelm von Gloeden - barely twenty-two - arrived in Taormina in1878 after a brief stop in Naples. He immediately became involved in photography; this new medium had fascinated him since his stepfather had given him a camera. This book features a collection of the pictures he took of the mythical landscapes around Vesuvius and Etna: the volcanoes on one side and the sea on the other, and, of course, the sun of the south. Also featured are many of his pastoral nude studies of Sicilian boys, which usually featured props such as wreaths or amphorae suggesting a setting in the Greece or Italy of antiquity. From a modern standpoint, his work stands out due to his controlled use of lighting as well as the elegant poses of his models.</p>
