160 pp., over 140 color photographs.Highly detailed and beautifully photographed description of the Italian landscape from Tuscany, Sicily, Umbria, the Aeolian Islands, Verona, Puglia, Basilicata, the rock formations of Sardinia, to tiny remote villages in the Apennines.The photographer, John Ferro Sims, born in Italy, wrote one of the first now-popular Italian travel books, A Traveller's Guide to Food and Wine in Tuscany.\I read Frances Mayes', Under the Tuscan Sun, and constantly referred to the photos in this book to orient myself, and actually see what she was writing about when describing different breathtaking areas of Italy.
