From Publishers Weekly
Deliberately bypassing major cities, former New York Times Rome bureau-chief Hofmann, in a highly enjoyable travel book, concentrates on his favorite locales to visit. The author, who has resided in Italy for 30 years, evokes the distinct character of each town, providing a capsule history and drawing sketches of unique cultural attractions, special events and local festivals. He also comments on the disposition of residents and discusses such economic and social conditions as traffic congestion, overbuilding and industrial pollution. Hofmann even brings fresh insight to such renowned and over-frequented spots as Capri and Assisi, indicating the best times of year to avoid the worst crowds. An appendix contains practical information and suggestions on each town. Illustrations not seen by PW.

From Library Journal
"Whenever Italians want to stress the cultural variety of their nation, or nostalgically mention places where they really would like to live, they speak of the Cento Citta. . . ." Hofmann, a 30-year resident of Italy and a veteran New York Times correspondent, profiles his favorite 100 places to visit. He takes us on a series of walking/auto tours of each of six regions. Starting with a city's central square, town hall, or church, he treats us to a delightful blend of historic and literary past and present. Similar to Baedeker's Italy , but with less emphasis on accommodations and more on native appeal. Recommended. Ann E. Cohen, Broome Cty. P.L., Binghamton, N.Y.
