Being a tour escort, I am always looking for travel books with a difference. This book by Da Mosto has proved excellent : it may not be very detailed in the description of places but it provides the reader with a lot of useful information from an insider - and what an insider! I only found a little wordy and too personal the sections dedicated to his childhood, but as to the rest, it is beautifully written, with details on unusual facts which you will not find elsewhere and stunning pictures. I loved it.

This is a wonderfully written book with beautiful pictures to support a super tour from the top to the bottom of Italy.
If you have been there it is a wonderful reminder, if you are new to this outstanding country it is taste of all that awaits you.

Francesco da Mosto, an engaging Venetian aristocrat, expands on his earlier fond tribute to his home city, to create a even fonder tribute to his home country. He is a great guide to the cultural pleasures and history of Italy, and his enthusiasm is infectious; the photos in the book are wonderful, too, and all in all, this would make a great gift for anyone who has ever been transported by (or to) Italy.
