In order to realize an atlas of the starry sky using traditional photographic techniques years of work are necessary. Paolo Candy succeeded in finishing this ambitious project in less than two years by using a wide-range digital camera. This is a unique book of its kind not only for the Italian panorama with the insertion of the text in the English language. The beautiful graphic laying out and the superimposition of mythological plates over the digital shots, make this volume a very good instrument both for people at their first approach to astronomy and for the more expert observers who will find this atlas a very good reference book for consultation thanks to the detail and depth of the pictures.
