Abstract:

"Through most of their history, Italians have identified more with their own local settings than with what is now known as "Italy." This comprehensive reference allows readers to view the land as its denizens have for centuries - regionally. Domenico superbly surveys the regional and provincial characteristics, economy, cuisine, history, recent politics, and arts and culture of the 20 regions. This is the only single general-reference volume in English on Italy's regions and will be highly in demand by teachers, students of Italian language and culture, and travelers." "Italy's enormous contributions to western civilization continue to make it a cultural and economic powerhouse and a top tourist destination. The Regions of Italy succinctly conveys the formidable richness of the whole through its parts, with a user-friendly format that makes it easy to glean important information on the area of interest."--BOOK JACKET.
