The prow of the world, the heart of history: Europe is the continent where human events have most marked the course of civilization. Through a breathtaking photographic journey, the work of the most renowned international professionals, the aerial perspective reveals details, places and scenarios that compose a fascinating and complex mosaic. From the great plains that connect the Atlantic to the Urals to the mountain ranges that have drawn the borders of nations, from the cities where art reminds us of the ambition of legendary empires to the silences of a North still dominated by waters and forests, up to the Mediterranean, the sea of myth and philosophers, of commerce and of confrontation between the great religions. Europe, in all its components, human and environmental, offers us a heritage where variety has always translated into richness: climatic, aesthetic, cultural and chromatic. This volume offers us a journey to discover cities and villages where time seems to have stopped, lakes and glaciers, rivers and islands, between seemingly endless urban agglomerations and still intact landscapes. A place surrounded by 38,000 kilometers of coastline, which history has made different from any other. Only by observing it from the sky do you get the pleasure of a complete view.
