Books to read while in Florence, Tuscany and Cinque Terre
Looking for suggestions for books to read prior to a during a vacation to Florence, Tuscany and CT.
I'll start with the obvious: Under the Tuscan Sun.
What books would you recommend?
Many thanks.

A Room With A View by EM Forster for Florence.
Brunelleschi's Dome for Florence, too.
I don't think that there are any books that deal with Le Cinque Terre, but someone can set me straight.
For Tuscany, War in the Val d'Orcia by Iris Origo.

Years ago "Vanilla Beans and Brodo" by Isabella Dusi was recommended here on Fodors. I read it, loved it, and was inspired to spend 3 days in Montalcino as a result. A real highlight of my 2005 trip.
Isabella is an Australian who relocated to Montalcino long ago and wrote about her experience, the local people of the town, and getting to know her new home.
You may find it somewhere on the internet. I believe it's out of print, but I still have my copy
