Book Reviews of City Secrets: Florence, Venice, and the Towns of Italy
Book Review: favorite italy travel guide
Summary: 5 Stars
my copy is coffee-stained and dog-eared. sure I have the blue guide, the michelin guide, and others (including city secrets Rome), but this book is the star - it's not trying to give you everything, but rather, a selected group of nuggets to experience and enjoy. with good fortune and travel companions over the past few years, I've hit all the places in this book, and if fate smiles on me, perhaps I will get to do them all again.
Summary of City Secrets: Florence, Venice, and the Towns of Italy
City Secrets: Florence, Venice and the Towns of Italy is the second volume in the acclaimed City Secrets series. Unlike a standard guidebook, City Secrets' unique format brings the passionate opinions and informed perspectives of more than 200 distinguished contributors -- including curators, composers, artists, journalists, architects, and historians. An architect leads you through a hidden Florentine passageway built for the Medici; the most renowned of Italian cooks divulges her favorite Venetian eateries; an artist directs you to the courtyard of a Renaissance convent, where you will ring for access to the frescoes -- and a miraculous handprint that lie within. Topics covered include art, architecture, museums, restaurants, shopping, flea markets, monasteries, churches, wineries, gardens, vistas, drives, day-long excursions, hikes, artists' haunts, and cultural tidbits.Reference Books
