Product Description

Synopsis
When the Autostrade del Sole extended south from Naples to the Reggio di Calabria, H.V. Morton seized the chance to explore a part of Italy that was comparatively unknown. He went from the "heel" to the "toe" of Italy and explored the undeveloped rivers of the Tyrrhenian and Ionian coastlines, met local peoples and learned about their traditions and folklore, and discovered an Italy not previously exposed to travellers.

A classic account of the rarely covered mezzogiorno, 9 Nov 2002

By	"ideardo" - See all my reviews

A classic, if somewhat dated, account of some Italian regions that are hardly discussed in the mountain of books on Italy. Morton's style ties both a narrative description with historical anecdotes, probably familiar to those who have read his other books. The book was very helpful in planning a trip through Calabria, Basilicata, Puglia, and Campania.
