MARRIED. Angelo Rizzoli, 36, head of the Italian publishing empire that owns Italy's most widely circulated newspaper, Corriere della Sera (circ. 550,000), more than a dozen magazines and the international chain of Rizzoli bookstores; and Eleonora Giorgi, 26, Italian character actress who once starred in erotic films; both for the first time; in Venice...
Kilims, or flat-woven rugs, have long been considered the s poor relatives of the Oriental knotted pile rugs that have proved to be one of the best -though specialized-hedges against inflation in recent years. Kilims by Yanni Petsopoulos with Michael Franses (Rizzoli; 394 pages; $85) gives these weavings their proper due. It should be welcomed by both collectors and decorators, the former because the author has provided clear and much needed scholarship on origins and techniques, the latter because of the rare and glorious examples of kilims from Anatolia, the Caucasus and Persia that are reproduced...
...defined as the "art of representing the colored mass of objects or recording one's inner visions on a thin flat surface by means of lines which do not exist in nature." That, at least, is the explanation offered in Drawing by Genevieve Monnier and Bernice Rose (Rizzoli; 278 pages; $75), and it seems as good as any. The 365 illustrations (100 of them in color) span virtually all of drawing's long history. The text offers not only an informative historical survey but also a technical guide to the various kinds of materials that artists have used...
...nearly established, people nearly honest with each other. If Allen was unfair to California in Annie Hall by depicting it as a doped-up land of sun and stylessness, he is doubly hard on his native city. The extensive location shooting in Manhattan--of the Museum of Modern Art, Rizzoli's Bookstore, Hayden Planetarium, even the Dalton School--may be the worst thing for the heartland's vision of New York City since the fiscal crisis. Oklahomans visiting the city will expect to see neurotic Woody Allens with 17-year-olds on their arms in every public place...
...valuable to walk on. The prices for some exceptional antique rugs have risen as much as 1000% during the past seven years, especially at auctions where oil-rich Middle Easterners are eagerly buying back the treasures of their heritage. The Splendor of Persian Carpets by E. Gans-Ruedin (Rizzoli; 566 pages; $85) shows off some spectacular examples whose color values are faithfully reproduced in more than 100 full-page illustrations. The most magnificent carpets are from the 16th century and, not surprisingly, can be found in Tehran's Carpet Museum. The text is in English and Farsi, the language...
