 Rating:  - A great start for Walking in ItalyI have found this book an inspiration. So much so that I have moved to Italy and live at the foot of the appenines. The walk to Corno Grande is truely breathtaking. My new home is a beautiful town called Penne, near the Ryanair airport in Abruzzo, Italy.
