Essential for travel in the New Italy

Mar 18, 2010

Rating:

Italy ain't what it used to be. It has become less Italian, more international and more crowded with travelers looking for the Italy that used to be. As such, information becomes more important for the traveler who wants to enjoy the country.
This book is remarkably up-to-date (at least as of february 2010) The section on Sardegna and the one on Rome unearthed some surprises for me in these two frequently visited spots. Of course, I'm not completely happy to have this information public: the sense that one is visiting an exhibit instead of a country (See Italyland!) increases all the time. But change is inevitable and perhaps we can squeeze a few more years of pleasure out of visits to Italy with the help of books like this one.
