In Gli Deí dell’India (1966) by Angelo Morretta, the author presents a richly illustrated and accessible encyclopedic study of the Hindu pantheon, tracing gods and goddesses from the Vedic era through the Purāṇas to contemporary devotional forms in India. The work combines religion, mythology, and cultural history, engaging with both textual traditions and visual symbolism. Morretta uses over 150 engravings to map the evolution of divine figures—such as the Trimūrti, the Avatāras of Vishnu, the Devi/Śakti goddesses, and sacred animals—as embodiments of cosmic functions, social ethos and religious continuity. The book contributes to the popular-scholarly discourse on Indology, offering Italian-speaking readers a lucid bridge between mythic narrative, iconography and modern religious practice.
