Tuscany and Umbria
Great collection of articles and info. It includes tons of links, resources, and suggestions for further reading; one could go down the rabbit hole and never return with this book as a guide. I think it will have been an immensely helpful read in advance of a trip to Florence later this year.
The editor's narrative is irritating sometimes, with self-satisfying tangents or examples which read more like boasting of her own worldliness and exclusive access than actual pragmatic information for the typical reader, who will not probably experience the same level of entree.
