It explores stately Rome, with its Colosseum and the Sistine Chapel; visits dreamy Venice, and the eternal romance of a gondola ride along its canals; and discovers Florence, bursting with more paintings, sculptures and monuments than anywhere in Italy. 'Italy dangles from the centre of western Europe like a Christmas stocking, stuffed to the brim with marvels, some as grand as Brunelleschi's dome over Florence cathedral, some as weird and unexpected as the pagan tombs buried underneath St Peter's in Rome, or Galileo's erect middle finger, carefully, significantly preserved in a reliquary in Florence's science museum.' more>> |

| Sardinia (Cadogan Guides, ISBN: 9781860113246) Sardinia has long been a favorite of the Italians; discover why with Cadogan’s insightful and fascinating guide. Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls, the Italian travel experts, uncover the hidden sights of the elegant capital of Cagliari and explore the wild beaches and pure turquoise sea of the coast of the Nurra. They ponder the quiet simplicity of Oristano, which explodes into life for a two-day festival every year, and study the beautiful political murals adorning the streets of Orgosolo. Evocative descriptions of the rocky granite mountains of the Gennargentu National Park and the luxury of the Costa Smeralda, playground of the titled and wealthy, will transport you to the island before you have even arrived.
A detailed chapter on Sardinian culture includes a section on the island’s most enduring mysteries: the nuraghe, ancient towers dotted throughout the landscape. Illustrations of the different types of nuraghe allow you to identify them and understand the differences between them. As always, the very best places to try out Sardinian cuisine are listed, alongside hand-picked hotels, villas, bars and shops.
