.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. >>See More Reviews & Details on Italy: The Rise of Fascism 1915-1945 (Access to History) |

.Chow! Venice: Savoring the Food and Wine of La Serenissima: Savouring the Food and Wine of La Serenissima a Guide to the Restaurants and Bars in Venice Search: Italy by: Ruth Edenbaum, Shannon Essa 2007-05 If you only take one guidebook to Venice, make sure it's this one. We took the 1st Edition along on our first trip to Venice last year and it changed a good holiday into an amazing experience. There is a mouth-watering introductory section with guidance on what specialities to look out, very useful for a first timer. The main section reviews recommended bars, cafes and restaurants, usefully divided into geographical areas so you can easily plan an itinerary to fit in with sight-seeing. The enthusiasm of the authors for good food and for the city of Venice shines through on every page. The reviews of bars and restaurants are completely honest and reliable, not only for the quality of food but also for the ambience and helpfulness ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Chow!

.Gomorrah: Italy's Other Mafia Search: Italy by: Roberto Saviano January 18, 2008 Roberto Saviano is a 28 year old man, who grew up in Secondigliano, a rundown of 10,000 inhabitants on the fringe of Naples, of which 2468 residents are incarcerated for mafia and camorra related activities and the rest have simply been abandoned to their fate. It is also the trading centre through which about 80% of Europe's cocaine is filtered through, packaged, distributed, marketed, cut, and sold on. This is an unpalatable reality few outside of Italy understand, care about or are able to believe. And this little book has opened a floodgates, no less for the Italians who have always known the extent of the Camorra's corruption on all levels of italian and international society, but who, out of fear, or inability to get close, have not been able to speak about ...

.The Titian Committee Search: Italy by: Iain Pears June 07, 1999 I read this straight after reading The Last Judgement and have to say that this is not as good. Not that its bad - the descriptions of Venice are high evocative and the story links and flows well. However, the characters are insufficiently developed - you never get to really empathise with any of them. A little less plot and a bit more characterisation would be better. >>See More Reviews & Details on The Titian Committee |
