Description
Every year, guests arrive in this decadent, elegant country to enjoy the pleasures of “la dolce vita”. Italy has attracted travelers seeking culture and romance for centuries. From the snowy peaks of the Alps and idyllic hilltop villages in the renowned central Tuscany and Umbria, to the rugged southern coast of Sicily, there are many distinctive regions and people. From sophisticated, lively cities to simple village elegance, Italian culture is rich. With Rome at its heart, as a united country, Italy is only 150 years old, which means each region still maintains a strong cultural identity, resulting in a country with many different faces that delights returning visitors. The zest for life and simple pleasures attract tourists to Italy — appreciation for family, food, history, and beauty are core values in this popular country. This wonderful new book from the popular Secrets series is divided into regions: North, Central, South, Rome, Islands. It is the perfect read for the armchair traveler and anyone interested in the history and mystique of great countries around the world.
