Italy: A Grand Tour for the Modern Traveller

Description

This idiosyncratic guide book to Italy, for the independently-minded traveller, is full of information on culture and food and includes anecdotes, quotes and art history with snippets from travellers such as Byron, Smollett, Dickens and Henry James, together with a history of taste, a Baedeker and a restaurant guide. The illustrations are by an architect and illustrator who is the writer of "An Architect in Italy". - from Amzon
