In the woad blue is a guide-book on the ancient Isatis tinctoria, a plant which has been employed to obtain the blue colour since Prehistoric times. It is about a historical-cultural itinerary that stops in the main "places of the woad" along Marche, Umbria and Toscana. The woad becomes a lens to go through history, botany, medicine and processing techniques that move behind the great artistic works of these places.
