The Rough Guide to Italy

This "Rough Guide" contains lively and detailed accounts of the best-known attractions from the great art treasure houses of the Uffizi and Vatican museums to the stunning natural scenery of Tuscany and the Amalfi coast. Off-the-beaten track there is coverage of the lesser-known sights, such as the rugged Monte Sibillini range and remote hill-villages of the south. Practical guidance on sporting activities, such as skiing in the Dolomites or windsurfing on Lake Garda, exists alongside sections on more leisurely pursuits like wine tasting in Umbria.
