A budget guide to Italy—from the great cities of Rome, Florence, Venice, and Milan to the wines of Tuscany, beaches of the Amalfi Coast and Cinque Terre, cultural thrills of Naples and Sicily, and idyll of the Lakes. Whether it's ancient ruins, medieval cathedrals, Renaissance art, fine food and wine, or the latest fashions, Italy offers all the best of Europe in one package.

This book got a complete overhaul in the second edition, to which I contributed the planning and the history/background chapter sin addition to covering Rome, Southern Italy (Naples, Capri, the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, Apulia), and Sicily.

For the third and (cuurrent) fourth edition, I rewrote all of the Central and Northern Italy chapters while my able colleague Lynn Levine updated the material on Rome and Southern Italy.
