Reviews

"[A] unique... delightful book... provides a lively text in this small volume that goes a long way in explaining to the traveler just who has walked the stones of Rome before him."

"A Traveller's History of Italy makes ideal 'before-you-go' reading, putting names and places in the country into proper perspective."
