ALL ABOUT ITALY by Carla Castoldi Rava


Email this review


An impersonal guide to Italy, efficently arranged and well documented as to points of interest, accommodations, restaurants, tipping, etc.. Beginning with a brief history from ancient to modern times of the country as a whole, a theoretical Grand Tour is then described covering nearly all the points of interest in the country and with especial emphasis on the most popular stops- Rome, Naples, the hill towns, Florence, Venice and Milan listing the sightseeing highlights, recreational areas, available entertainment and special festivals of each locality. An appendix contains useful information on transportation, a classified list of hotels and a list of sports facilities. A businesslike traveller's aid.
