The small towns sprinkled throughout this expansive book are not only rich with beauty, but are also saturated with as much historical and cultural importance as their sister cities. The fact that they are “off the beaten path”-though sometimes extraordinarily famous for their art, food, and wine, or simply their setting-makes them rare gems even more desirable to see. This book is the perfect guide for those who can’t resist succumbing to Italy’s charms again and again.
Originally written by and for Italians, this is a fantastic source of inside information. The 101 towns featured represent the 20 diverse regions of Italy and their varied landscapes, architecture, and local specialties.
You will be amazed to see how much Italy has to offer beyond the well-trodden paths of Venice, Florence, and Rome. From Asolo to Vicenza, flea markets to fish markets, horse races to open air concerts, this book promises 101 great reasons to go back to Italy over and over. It comes complete with an excellent appendix to help you know before you go.

One of the great things about visiting England is that you can enjoy all the sophistication of a large city like London, but still get out into the countryside relatively quickly and inexpensively.

Even more fascinating is the wealth of historical towns and villages, and still more fascinating is the breadth of their history, from Roman and Medieval times, to Renaissance, Georgian, Regency, and Victorian.

One Hundred & One Beautiful Towns in Great Britain (101 Beautiful Small Towns) is a wonderful book which captures some of the most picturesque towns in the UK, and comes complete with a full appendix on essentials you need to know before you go.
