[Overbooked ✎ · Rating 3 out of 5]

Armchair travel. The book is comprised of six itineraries in one of the most charming and understated regions of Italy (sadly some of the ancient buildings have been recently damaged by the 2016 earthquake), with delightful de-tours and interesting commentaries about local places and history, with its saints, martyrs and many legends.
Too bad that the number of pictures included in this volume is woefully inadequate, I strongly invite the reader to use the internet to fully appreciate the artwork descriptions (Google is your friend :), for a curious site look up vicolo baciadonne – “kiss-the-women-lane” located in Citta’ della Pieve, there is hardly room to walk, hence the kissing).
3.5 stars
