Editorial Review: Product Description: "Often plagiarized by other guide writers, Blue Guides have always been a gold standard for accuracy and depth."—Daily Telegraph Boasting serious art and architecture in Rimini and Urbino, and cuisine inspired by the varied and excellent local produce, the Marche offers a fine balance of history and culture. With excellent up-to-date information on what to do and see, the first edition of The Marche is a wonderful introduction to the region. Color photographs, maps, floor plans, diagrams.
