The Land of Italy by Jasper More.
From the cover: “Few will read this book without wishing to visit Italy - preferable with Jasper More as their knowledgeable and witty companion.” - Yorkshire Observer. This is a most useful and enjoyable book for the prospective travellers to Italy, and a please reminder of travels past. An introductory chapter is an intelligent, informative and witty sketch of Italian history and society, and the bulk of the book tells attractively and concisely, yet with remarkable complete knees, what there is to see in Italy and how to see it. The reader’s choice will be assisted by the excellent illustrations with which the book is abundantly supplied.
