“Francesco’s Italy” takes the form of a journey, one that encompasses Italian culture both past and present.

From Venice, his birthplace and home, Francesco travels southwards to the Sicilian capital Palermo, his mother’s hometown. He visits the spectacular lakes and fashionable cities of the north, and passes through the hills of Tuscany, heading south towards Rome, Naples and finally Palermo; Francesco describes the local artistic and architectural treasures and cultural traditions, while exploring the historical backgrounds, and legends too.

His journey also shows us Italian society and the Italian people as they are today, delighting in sharing anecdotes from his own family life as well as stories from friends and traveling acquaintances.

Illustrated with full-colour photography, “Francesco’s Italy” brings together the Italy we all know and love and the secret side of the country that only an insider can reveal.
