    <![CDATA[In Rick Steves' Italy 2001, Rick weeds through the endless possibilities this ancient country offers and gives you his personal recommendations in an honest and entertaining style. He highlights the best local sights and activities, friendly places to eat and sleep, suggested day plans and itineraries that mix the famous and not-so-famous, and clear transportation instructions that make it easy to get anywhere by car, train, or foot. Chapters include Rome, Venice, Florence, Milan, Lake Como, the Dolomites, Naples, Amalfi, and Pompeii. &quot;For wannabe-experienced urban/urbane explorers: Rick Steves' friendly, funny Back Door guides beat all pseudo-hip 'insider' guides by miles.&quot;-New York Daily News]]>
