Description

With its treasure-filled ancient sites, Renaissance masterpieces, stunning countryside and some of the best cuisine in the world, Italy impresses at every turn. Be inspired by the new edition of Insight Guide Italy, a detailed full-colour guide to this glamorous country. Insight Guides' unrivalled coverage of history and culture provides an essential introduction to the Italian identity, including its people and their unique sense of style, as well as its world-renowned cuisine and its contribution to cinema and classical music. Consult the Best of Italy selection for an at-a-glance guide to the country's most evocative attractions, such as Rome's Forum, Florence's Renaissance artworks and Venice's romantic canals, and the editor's choice of recommendations for the best museums, coastal scenery, islands and gourmet spots, and much more. Descriptive accounts of where to go in Italy, from the glitzy Amalfi Coast to the trullis of Puglia, are enhanced by beautiful photographs, while all major sights are cross-referenced with full-colour maps to help you find your way around. We give you our recommendations of where to enjoy Italy's delicious food and wine, and the travel tips section provides a wealth of information on how to plan your trip, plus our selection of the best hotels.
