Fodor's Italy 1979 [antikvár]

FOREWORD This 1979 edition is the second edition of the new-look Fodor's Guide to Italy. With travel getting daily more complex, we decided it was time to start simplifying things a little. The result is this up-to-the-minute, easy-to-use Guide, which contains all the factual and background coverage that have made our books best-sellers over the years, but in a different format. We open with a series of chapters - The Italian Scene - which outlines the quality of life in Italy today, and gives a peep into the artistic and historical past. We hope that they will give you some idea of the kind of land you will find on your arrival. We then cover the whole of the country, geographically, in the Face of Italy, 19 chapters designed to act as your vade mecum while touring. Next comes the down-to-earth information of Facts at Your Fingertips, rigorously brought up to the minute and carefully tailored to help you while p.lanning your trip and to smooth your path while traveling. This is followed by a section, new to our Guides - Italy, Town by Town - in which we give you a clear alphabetical listing of all the cities.
