Book Description
Written by authors who have an all-consuming knowledge of the country, with 20 books to their names. In one guide they pick out all you need to know. Italy’s nationwide Jubilee 2000 celebrations rejuvenated its villages, towns, museums and monuments, and Cadogan’s ‘traveller’s bible’ reveals new holiday hotspots for the Italophile – Lazio, the historic heart of Italy; the civilized Marches; the majestic wilderness of Abruzzo and Molise; and Emilia Romagna, with its food, opera and art.

Excellent In-Depth Background for Serious Travellers,
By Scott Richardson (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Italy, 4th (Paperback)
The great asset of the Cadogan series is the in-depth historical and cultural context that the authors set their desciptions in. While all of the usual nuts-and-bolts information on hotels, restaurants, nighlife, etc. is there, the emphasis is on really getting to know and appreciate the cultures you are travelling through, rather than just being able to name the Top 5 sights in each city and take home postcard shots of each. If you read this book, you'll come away with a whole new appreciation for the country and its people, and you'll understand why you've decided to travel there in the first place.

A little too much...,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cadogan Italy (Paperback)
Although this book is a good basic overview of travel in Italy, it is written in an unnecessarily pedantic style. I found other travel guides on Italy to be much more reader-friendly and useful.
