Andrea Doria '74

[Avonthediver]

Hello all I have been in search for the very hard to find book called Andrea Doria '74 why 74 is beyond me as the film came out in 1968. Any all help would be great!

Are you sure that the film was adapted from a book; I have only seen reference to the documentary film.

ya I have seen this book in private collection and on overseas Website and a few times on ebay and missed it by hours lol!
I have even asked Doria King Gary Gentile and he has two copy's and it took him a bit to get his, so it's out there just really hard to come by.

And this site CLASSIC DIVING BOOKS - Italian says:

ANDREA DORIA - 74
Stefano Carletti
Gherardo Casini Editore. Published in 1968.
Hard cover end dust jacket, 187 pages with black and white, and colors photos.
The book is about the first Italian expedition to the wreck of the “Andrea Doria” made in 1968. Three divers, Bruno Vailati, Stefano Carletti and Al Giddings and, on the boat, Arnaldo MatteiI and Mimi Dies. The expedition made a video documentary with the same title. The book is not rare but hard to find.

How’s your Italian?
