Following the success of the Turkish and English editions, the project arrived in Italy with a specially curated version: il Bosforo. This is more than a translation; it is an enriched edition that delves deeper into the centuries-old Italian legacy along the shores of the Strait, tracing the golden threads left by the Genoese and Venetians in the fabric of the city, all the way to Renzo Piano’s contemporary landmark on the waterfront.

This edition is further distinguished by a prestigious preface by Corrado Augias, one of Italy’s most prominent intellectual voices, who provides a profound narrative context for the Italian reader. Just as the Bosphorus itself transforms over time, this book continues to evolve with every printing, integrating new findings and historical documents to reflect the ever-changing spirit of the landscape.
