Publisher's Synopsis
This comprehensive book includes in-depth coverage of Florence, Siena and the other major centres as well as the most secluded hilltowns and tiniest rural villages. Detailed background to all the cultural attractions - the city museums, the churches and their fresco cycles, the monasteries and ruined abbeys - is included, as well as evocative accounts of every corner of the countryside, from the wolf-inhabited heights of the Valnerina to the volcanic island of Capraia.
