Product Description

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointingly Boring, 15 Feb 2009
There are many travelogue type books that have been written in recent years about Italy. Living in Italy myself for the past five years and before then always having been a great fan of Italy I have read a great number of them. My husband and I both read this one and found it disappointingly boring, maybe it was just too dated having been written in 1999, or we just disliked the author's style. I am really not sure, maybe as the author is a football journalist there was just too much bias to football for my liking.
Although he makes some interesting and true observations about Italians and their life style there was nothing really that has not been said by other authors. In my opinion there are dozens of other Italian travelogues that will entertain more.
