Francesco's Italy by Francesco Da Mosto

Having travelled extensively all his life, Francesco da Mosto, author of the bestselling Francesco's Venice, has always been fascinated by the differences in language, traditions, cuisine, art, architecture and landscape of each region of his country, despite their proximity to each other.
"A superbly illustrated and meticulously researched guide.. A definite must-buy for Italophiles everywhere" * Good Book Guide *
"[An] eloquent exploration of Italian culture... Stunning photographs provide a fitting backdrop to Francesco's artistic journey" * Living Abroad *
"Cultural marvels along with da Mosto's relaxed, quietly infectious charm make for a rather splendid mix" * The Times *
"As a man whose ancestors have lived in Venice for more than 1,500 years, Count Francesco da Mosto knows the city better than most... He talks of Venice with passion and insider knowledge. He has charm to burn and he's an absorbing guide." * Telegraph *
"[Francesco] shows an Italy that we would never see on our own." * Chicago Tribune *
