Italy delights and stimulates with its magnificent cities and monuments, its stunningly beautiful landscapes, the glory of its art and architecture, the richness and variety of its food, the elegance of its design and fashion, and the vitality and charm of its people. Italian style and culture have been exported all over the world. The Italians are the most European-minded of nations, having emerged from a long history of regional fragmentation.

Experience the best of Rome in 72 hours! Many travelers who have limited time in a big city like Rome, make one big mistake. They try and see everything Rome has to offer in three days. The problem with this approach is that they end up burned out and tired. The good news is that with the right planning and approach you can have an awesome time in 72 hours. The key is not to try and see everything; rather try and see the best of the best Rome has to offer.

Against the background of an age that saw the rebirth of ancient and classical learning, Paul Strathern explores the intensely dramatic rise and fall of the Medici family in Florence as well as the Italian Renaissance, which they did so much to sponsor and encourage. Interwoven into the narrative are the lives of many of the great Renaissance artists with whom the Medici had dealings, including Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Donatello as well as scientists like Galileo and Pico della Mirandola.

Any travel guide to Rome will urge visitors to go the Colosseum, but none answers a simple question: Why is it called the Colosseum? The History of Rome in 12 Buildings: A Travel Companion to the Hidden Secrets of the Eternal City is compelling, concise, and fun, and takes you behind the iconic buildings to reveal the hidden stories of the people that forged the Roman Empire.

We'll start at the Duomo, Florence's vast cathedral, and tell you not only how the magnificent dome was created but how this remarkable piece of engineering was one of the corner stones of the Renaissance. Whether you go inside then or wait until later is up to you. Either way, next we'll wander down the Via Calzaiuoli and talk about how the shops around this modern Florentine street relate to the Renaissance and Florence's history.

This is Irving Stone's powerful and passionate biographical novel of Michelangelo. His time: the turbulent Renaissance, the years of poisoning princes, warring popes, the all-powerful Medici family, the fanatic monk Savonarola. His loves: the frail and lovely daughter of Lorenzo de Medici; the ardent mistress of Marco Aldovrandi; and his last love - his greatest love - the beautiful, unhappy Vittoria Colonna.

5 stars for this guide !!!
I have traveled all over Italy and I find Florence as one of the nicest places to visit there. This audiobook guide has great travel ideas, top locations, tips, directions, well organized five-day Itinerary and much more. Its budget recommendations helped me save some money while I was in Florence. I just regret that they don’t make guides like this one for all the cities. If you are visiting Florence this book is a must-have in your collection.

Disappointed
What would have made Florence, Italy Travel Guide Book better?
Voice over was tough to listen to; very pompous British accent. Entire book is next to useless. Wasted my money.
What could Passport to European Travel Guide have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
It would have been better to have never created this book.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Melanie Fraser?
NOT HER. Anyone else
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
all of the above
Any additional comments?
Truly, a genuine disappointment. Giving telephone numbers for emergencies, saying things that are totally obvious as, "If you find a less expensive option then certainly choose it." Or at least to that effect. Book cannot be of value to anyone.

Informative
This audio book is the only guide you will ever need if you are traveling to Florence. It will help you better organize your stay and experience Florence in just 5 days (if you follow the book’s itinerary). There is also some useful info, like important phone numbers, basic Italian phrases and tips on how to save money while traveling. The narration is very well performed and pronunciation is good. I highly recommend this audio book to anyone visiting Florence!
