.Romola (Penguin Classics)
Search: Italy
by: George Eliot

June 27, 1996
... but still a good read. The scenes set in Florence are interesting and the hero/heroine start out well, though she fails the hold our interest. For a similar situation examining the effects of unequal marriages on both men and women read Eliot's Middlemarch instead, which really is her masterpiece.

.Italy: The Rise of Fascism 1915-1945 (Access to History)
Search: Italy
by: Mark Robson

April 28, 2006
This book will serve students of modern Italy very well. Its judgements are reliable, and it has useful diagrams summarising key arguments. Perhaps it could have found room to say a bit more about the interaction between the monarchs and political leaders of the period (rarely positive for the national interest), the enduring disaffection in the south, and Mussolini's increasing lack of grip over events in the later years of his rule.

.The Rough Guide Map Sicily (Rough Guide Map)
Search: Italy
from: Rough Guides Ltd

March 25, 2004
This is THE WORST guide book in the world. Local people of Sicily seem to be the best guides for me. I spent a week in Sicily and every place I visited I would refer to this book. But all these pompous authors wrote were sarcastic and frankly insulting to Sicily. This guide completely avoids how beautiful the Aoelian Islands are, where each island is different and diverse and some with living volcanoes. The only benefit I got from this book was when I was quoting it with locals I met on my travels and at laugh how bad this book really is. Seriously, you can travel to Sicily armed with just a map and phrase book. I wished I did because this rough guide was heavy!

has a non biased view and an excellent amount of information in here with many activities for a-level students

however if there was to be a 2nd addition there would need to be some colour and some breaks in the paragraphs because much of chris's excellent views and information aren't poitned out so clearly

.From Flanders to Florence: The Impact of Netherlandish Painting, 1400-1500
Search: Italy
by: P Nuttall

August 13, 2004
It is such a pleasure to read a book that finally points out that the Florentine painters were not the leaders-of-the-painting-world they have mistakenly believed to be, since Vasari's Florentine-propaganda book, The Lives of the Artists. The quattrocento Florentines themselves were the first to say that they were trying, unsuccessfully, to emulate the Flemish painters: compare Masaccio and van Eyck; the paintings are virtually contemporary. The book is beautifully made and very well written. I recommend it highly.
