We are the lira - La Repubblica - Editalia

Photographs and images charged with meaning that recount the experiences of Italy and Italians during the years of the Republic. Illustrations, drawings, and sketches of coins and banknotes paint a vivid portrait of our country and our memory. The money we have held in our hands represents the tangible means by which we have built our history. The unusual art gallery of our Lira is enhanced by the large format pages, the choice of paper with evocative color and transparency inserts, the meticulous printing, and the exquisite binding.
On the cover the bas-relief is minted on a silver plate and reproduces a detail of the 1 Lira Orange
