Product Overview
Seen from one perspective, this book is a travelogue, written around the experiences of a twelve-day journey to Italy undertaken by seven members; the narrative places special emphasis on examining the past history of different regions of Italy and establishing its connection with the present, and as a result, the work takes on the character of an Italian travel experience viewed through the eyes of a historian. The regions visited include Rome, Sorrento, Amalfi, Positano, Pompeii, Florence, and Tuscany, each of which is discussed in separate chapters. Since a large part of Italy’s past history is shaped around the Roman Empire, a separate discussion on ancient Roman history has been included. Finally, the book offers a concluding overview of the Italian journey, discussing how travellers can plan their itinerary and accommodation in advance on their own, the kinds of obstacles that may arise during travel, and details related to places of interest, roads, people, food, and daily life. I believe that readers will find this book engaging and enjoyable.
