Rick Steves' Italy 2008
by Rick Steves

From the Rick Steves' series.

Italy, home of the Vatican, is Catholic, but the dominant religion is life-motor scooters, soccer, fashion, girl-watching, boy-watching, good coffee, good wine, and la dolce far niente ("the sweetness of doing nothing"). The Italian character shows itself on the streets in the skilled maniac drivers and the classy dressers who star in the ritual evening stroll, or passeggiata. The language is fun. Be melodramatic and talk with your hands. Hear the melody; get into the flow. Italians are outgoing. They want to communicate, and they try harder than any other Europeans. Play with them.

In Rick Steves' Italy, you'll find in-depth Rick-tested information on trip planning, the best sights, hotels, restaurants, tourist offices, transportation, telephones, festivals and holidays, mail and e-mail, weather, survival phrases, easy-to-follow maps, and great self-guided neighborhood and museum walksÉ
