THE INCENSE ROUTE
The book for De Agostini publisher, is
about the caravan route that crossed the Arabian peninsula and what was
once the realm of the Queen of Sheba. From Oman, and Yemen, the route
passed through Saudi Arabia and Jordan to arrive in Israel. Only

This project is about the "Ancient Routes
of Man" that have criss-crossed the continents, enabling exchanges
among different cultures, the spread of ideologies and the advance of
religions.
The second book is "The Ancient Gold
Route", (see the PDF). Drought-stricken lands, where the desert sands
enfold Muslim libraries, and Islamic architecture contemplates ancient
trade routes. Setting off from the mysterious city of Timbuktu, closed
to Europeans until the mid-nineteenth century, the author travels along
tracks of sand and mud where legendary kingdoms flourished for
centuries. From Mali , the author crosses the Sahara through
Mauritania, following the ancient caravan route that once linked Black
Africa with the seaports of the Mediterranean and the markets of
Morocco , by way of Marrakech.
