Central Italy with Rome and Florence

A new Blue Guide completes the series’ unparalleled coverage of Italy, complementing recently revised guides to northern Italy, Sicily, and southern Italy.

The first Blue Guide to include in the same book two of Italy’s biggest destinations, Rome and Florence, Blue Guide Central Italy also explores the bucolic countryside and towns in between them. Along with the legendary depth of research and up-to-date scholarship that readers have come to expect, this guide features “Blue Guides Recommended” dining and accommodation suggestions.
