From the Publisher

Welcome to Italy!

Home to some of the world’s greatest artworks, architecture and gastronomy, Italy elates, inspires and moves like no other. The country’s 20 regions feel like independent states, each with their own traditions, and glorious food.

Italy’s fortes extend beyond galleries, plates and wardrobes. The country is one of nature’s masterpieces, its geography offering extraordinary natural diversity. From the north’s snowy Alps to the south’s volcanic craters, this is a place for doing as well as seeing.
