"Aria, Men, Falcons." Serena Galvani is an Italian photographer who specialises in sailing and falconry. In this book, she presents a collection of photographs of her falconry and sailing, with some overlap. Galvani was the founder of A.R.I.E. "Associazione per il Recupero delle Imbarcazioni d'Epoca", the "society for the rescue of period boats (historical racing yachts)." The "Aria" of the book's title is the name of her own racing yacht which figures in certain of the pictures, and "arie" is the plural of "aria". Besides brief introductions to author and subject matter, in English and Italian, this book contains almost no text.
