Great way to learn about Lord Byron and his world

I will confess, I am a fan of all things Italian, but did not know much about the talented and exotic Lord Byron before reading this book. It really made an impression on me - through his letters and his diaries, one gets a very clear sense of who he was and of the times he lived in. I wanted to read it because the story of Byron and Teresa begins in Ravenna, one of my favorite places in Italy but continues across Italy, the rest of Europe and on to its sad conclusion in Greece. I would recommend it for anyone who wants to wade into Byron, or to feel thoroughly immersed in early 18th century Europe.
