Veteran writer and Italy expert Tim Jepson makes this vibrant and fascinating country--home of some of the world's most sublime art, architecture, and literature and one of its oldest civilizations--highly accessible to the modern traveler. After a thorough introduction, he begins his coverage in Rome with specific, detailed suggestions on how to tackle this most sight-intensive city: "Your best approach is an oblique one," he writes. "Avoid the big-name sights at the outset, and ease yourself gently into the city with a coffee or a stroll around its most intimate squares." He continues with this kind of advice as he travels around the country--north to Lombardy, the Lakes, the Veneto, Tuscany, and Umbria, and then south to Naples, ending up in Sicily--combining intimate guidance with strong and substantive information. Special features include numerous city walks, drives around Lake Maggiore, through Chianti country, and into the heart of Umbria, and discussions of many aspects of Italian culture and contemporary life. An extensive Travelwise section offers a wide selection of author's picks of hotels, inns, and restaurants, as well as details on shopping and all the practical information you need to get around. The 2012 edition has been completely revised and updated, with new features including experiential sidebars, insider tips, and an overview of how best to plan a visit.

Un viaggio affascinante tra luoghi da riscoprire, monumenti dimenticati e scorci d''incanto.Napoli e una citta complessa, dai mille volti, che rivela subito allosservatore le sue peculiarita, ma spesso nasconde la propria anima piu autentica e preziosa. Cosi molti tesori legati alla sua storia sono sepolti dalla confusione e difficili da individuare a causa della mancanza di indicazioni: palazzi, cortili, scorci mozzafiato sono preclusi alla vista, ma attendono solo di essere scoperti dal visitatore curioso per rivelarsi in tutta la loro bellezza.Quanti sanno, ad esempio, che a due passi da Porta Capuana sorge un vecchio lanificio, divenuto oggi uno dei maggiori centri culturali della citta, il cui splendido cortile sembra avvolgere chi entra proteggendolo dal caos circostante? E il turista o anche il cittadino napoletano sa dove trovare le Sette opere di misericordia di Caravaggio? Sa che nelledificio del Pio Monte della Misericordia, al piano superiore, nella pinacoteca, puo sedersi nel palchetto un tempo riservato ai nobili e da li ammirare il dipinto di Michelangelo Merisi?E ancora, vi sono innumerevoli luoghi che vengono trascurati o esclusi dai piu comuni itinerari: come la chiesa di San Vitale a Fuorigrotta, prima tomba di Leopardi; il mausoleo di Sannazzaro; la biblioteca del conservatorio di San Pietro a Majella; la prima chiesa eretta in onore di san Gennaro. In un percorso insolito che si snoda tra strade e vicoli, stanze dimenticate, sagrestie e giardini segreti, questo libro si propone di restituire al lettore lo splendore di una citta ricca di patrimoni artistici e naturali troppo spesso ignorati e abbandonati.
