So that your First Time in Italy will be unforgettable — and then there will be a second, third, fifth, and twenty-fifth time. And be careful: Italy knows how to enchant at first sight ;)

From the Inside Flap

So, here's what I want to tell you: Italy doesn't actually exist. Yes, it's just as you read it: Italy does not exist.

There is a piece of land in the Mediterranean Sea that strikingly resembles a boot. I don't really like it when the beautiful Apennine Peninsula is called a boot. But it does look like one, I must admit.

So, what exists if not Italy? There are 20 different "countries" that are situated on the boot-shaped peninsula. Sometimes they resemble each other, and sometimes they are completely different, so much so that it's even incorrect to compare them. It's like saying that the Netherlands and France are one country.

What does all this mean for you? It means that it's important where exactly in Italy you are. Depending on this, much changes: from the peculiarities of cuisine to an almost non-Italian language and a different temperament of the locals.
