The world's favorite expert on la dolce vita ( Under the Tuscan Sun author) guides readers through Italy's iconic regions, replete with lavish National Geographic images. This lush guide, featuring more than 350 glorious photographs from National Geographic, showcases the best Italy has to offer from the perspective of two women who have spent their lives reveling in its unique joys. In these illuminating pages, Frances Mayes, the author of Under the Tuscan Sun and many other bestsellers, and New York Times travel writer Ondine Cohane reveal an Italy that only the locals know, filled with top destinations and unforgettable travel experiences in every region. From the colorful coastline of Cinque Terre and the quiet ports of the Aeolian Islands to the Renaissance architecture of Florence and the best pizza in Rome, every section features insider secrets and off-the-beaten-path recommendations (for example, a little restaurant in Piedmont known for its tajarin, a pasta that is the perfect bed for the region's celebrated truffles). Here are the best places to stay, eat, and tour, paired with the rich history of each city, hillside town, and unique terrain. Along the way, you'll make stops at the country's hidden gems--art galleries, local restaurants, little-known hiking trails, spas, and premier spots for R&R. Inspiring and utterly unique, this vivid treasury is a must-have for anyone who wants to experience the best of Italy. Review: Nice - It was a present! I think it's very nice Review: Great gift - As expected :) I just wish it came in soft cover as well.

Mayes in top form!
I might be biased, because I am a fan of all things Tuscany, and I have enjoyed all of Frances Mayes books on the subject! This one is just as good, and gives a good first glimpse of regions in Italy where I have never been... Obviously now I have to go and see for myself!

Beautiful Book
This book is as described. I bought as a gift for someone who loves Italy. Full of excellent photographs and information. A great 'coffee table' addition.
