HUMOURIST'S GUIDE TO ITALY by Robert Wechsler

Every aspect of Italy and Italian life, past and present, is seen through a filter of irony, incongruity, satire, parody and nonsense, making When in Rome not only the companion for your travels but the perfect book to read in those moments spent at airports and stations, on planes and trains and on the beach. Packed with stories, memoirs, character sketches, anecdotes, light verse, drawings and a generous sprinkling of cartoons, it contains the travel writing of many of our generous humorists.
