Reviews

This is the Fifth Edition, hardcover. A lot of lovely photos and lots of background on a few sites.

Обожавам пътеводители. Много полезна информация с прекрасен снимков материал.

Минус една звезда заради това, че е наблегнато повече на Северна Италия на сметка на южна.

Още един минус заради досадно претрупаната и ненужна справочна част накрая.

Искам вече в Италия. :(

An amazingly interesting but detailed inventory of Italy"s most famed sights. It was my one guide I took with me when tromping across the Boot.

There was some useful information, the hints were nice, as were the photographs. (I like to read everything I can get my hands on before a trip.)

[Joe Pfeiler]

With a good balance of history, pictures, places of interest etc., this book has traveled three times to Italy with me.
