About this title

From the Author:

Imagine driving through Southern Italy in a convertible with the top down. Sounds wonderful and it was. My interests in nature, food, wine, art and archaeology are always more than satisfied in Italy.  For Back Roads of Italy, I wrote and photographed five of the drives (16-20) in this book, from Abruzzo, Molise, and  Campania, down to Puglia and Calabria.  Easily, I loved every inch of it.  Whether you like to keep moving or prefer to choose a base, Italy is dense with treasures to discover, special food dishes to taste, local wines to sample, and sights to explore from the sea to the mountains. Other guides for DK that I've worked on include DK Eyewitness Guide to Sicily and DK Eyewitness Guide to Naples & the Amalfi Coast. I enjoy working with DK's lively visual components, too: the photographs, maps, and illustrations. Italy always beckons, so please enjoy discovering all of the drives in BACK ROADS OF ITALY.  Buon viaggio, Judy Edelhoff.
