I Tesori dei Faraoni

This volume, produced on the occasion of the exhibition at the Scuderie del Quirinale yet conceived as a standalone work, is one of the most important publications on the art and culture of Ancient Egypt currently available in the Italian language. Edited by Zahi Hawass, the most renowned living Egyptologist, the catalogue brings together over 130 masterpieces-many previously unpublished or rarely exhibited-on loan from Egypt's leading museums and archaeological sites. The narrative unfolds through a rich series of essays and in-depth studies addressing the major themes of Pharaonic civilization: the role of the sovereign and sacred kingship, the relationship with the divine, funerary aesthetics, monumental sculpture, daily life, the role of women, and the dialogue between Egypt and the Mediterranean world. The contributors are internationally renowned Egyptologists-both Italian and foreign-coordinated by Hawass. A distinguishing feature of the volume is the photographic campaign by Massimo Listri, one of the world's greatest masters of architectural and cultural heritage photography, whose images offer extraordinary visual quality and depth. Printed in large format, with meticulously curated editorial design, I tesori dei faraoni is a book that combines scholarly rigor with striking visual power. It is destined to become a key reference for scholars, enthusiasts, collectors, and all those who wish to explore the heart of Egyptian civilization through a new and contemporary perspective.
