Italy - Book recommendations

Posted by: dana_q on Dec 20, 04 at 09:23 PM Posted in: Europe Jump to last reply

Hi everyone, and happy holidays...

Although I'm sure this has been covered in the past, I'm looking for updated recommendations for "beginner's" guides to (1) paintings/sculpture and (2) wine, for my upcoming trip to Italy. I confess to being a novice, but I want to learn some background on both before I leave in May. Something a little more in depth than a standard guidebook (smile) is what I'm looking for. Thanks!
