About the book
The moment I stepped off our plane in Italy, I reached down and placed my hand on the ground. It did not matter to me that it was an asphalt tarmac. I knew that 70 feet below my hand Roman soldiers once walked. I had come full circle. I had arrived home to the land of my ancestors. I was back to the land that made me a couple of generations ago and I delighted in the fact that everyone could pronounce my name. That is the fuel that drives my creative passion in Italy.
The ancient, the gorgeous, and the touchingly quotidian all cohere in this breezily gorgeous tour of photographer Giglio’s tour of Italy, a nation he toasts in a preface not just as “the land of my ancestors” but as that rare place where “everyone could pronounce my name.” That blended sense of history and the everyday powers Walk With Me, as Giglio and his camera visit Italian cities, taking in the splendors—the cliffs of the Amalfi coast astonishing here, even if you’ve seen them in person—and the street life. This he captures with an eye for telling detail, like the hands of the nun in Naples who rushes toward him, urging him to pray for the poor, or the grizzled stub of cigar poking from a tangle of beard on the face of man experiencing homelessness.

Book Reviews
This is a fabulous book of photographs, catching people, places and things all over Italy as they happen in the style of a photojournalist.....every picture has a story (credit Rod Stewart!) but it's so true. Harry is a master at transforming a capture through the lens to a masterpiece that is alluring and pulls you into the story unfolding. I am going to Italy in September and this book made me even more excited to visit.

Harry’s photography tells a story. He doesn’t just take an image of a beautiful street in Italy but he waits for the right moment and snaps a photo that tells a story. When flipping through the pages you see/feel the people and it makes you want to look further into the image. Bravo, this will be sitting on my coffee table for others to enjoy.
The photos in this book are so breathtaking! Each page will transport you to a different part of this gorgeous country. My favorite part of this book is how each photo has a story attached to it. It really makes you feel more immersed in the photographs and feel more connected to what you’re seeing.
Absolutely stunning work!
Walk With Me is a great gift for any occasion!
