Rizzoli, considered one of the most respected Italian trade names, is proud to announce the debut of its travel guide series for Italy. Unlike other conventional guides which only cover predictable tourist spots, the Rizzoli Guides are comprehensive in that they feature familiar favorites, but with an emphasis on intriguing cultural sites and commercial points of interest. This unique approach to Rome's treasures allows the traveler to experience and know the city as natives do, giving the sophisticated traveler a new perspective on the Eternal City. The volume on Rome begins the series and will be followed by Florence and Venice. Each of the nine chapters provide two detailed maps and entries on every major site in that section of the city. Walking tours–twenty-five in all–and special "focus" sections are the heart of the guide focusing on Rome off-the beaten-path. For instance, take an alternative itinerary through the Vatican's vast collections of art and antiquities or explore Nero's residence, the Domus Aurea. The guide also features over two hundred restaurants, cafes, hotels, and shops that are favored by Romans. An extensive "Best of" section begins the volume and includes everything from the best gelateria to the best swimming pools in the city. This guide includes: Twenty-five walking tours Eighteen detailed maps Three hundred cultural sites Two hundred restaurants, hotels, and stores

Florence in Detail: A Guide for the Expert Traveler

Gatti, Claudio

"In 1980, the International Herald Tribune published a first collection of front pages reprinted from its archives. Much has happened in the years since then, and we are now pleased to make available the expanded selection of front pages which comprise this volume. We hope they will communicate to readers at least some of the emotion and urgency which surrounded pivotal moments in history when they were still 'this morning's headlines'. Out of more than 35,000 front pages which have been printed since 1887, 150 have been selected for reproduction. The selection was often difficult. We found that some crucial stories had not been judged at the time to have front page significance; in other cases, it was difficult to select just one front page from dozens in which a breaking story was chronicled. Nonetheless, this collection touches on the major events and personalities of the century. The history these pages reveal is recorded from a unique point of view - that of Americans writing in English for a publication based in France. This blend of American outlook and European environment has produced, from the first, a distinctive awareness of the world. When the New York Herald's Paris edition began publication in 1887, most papers in Europe and America were largely journals of opinion. This tradition had been challenged, however, by James Gordon Bennett's highly successful New York Herald - in which the emphasis was on 'news and more news' and opinion was treated separately. It was this new American newspaper style which Bennett's son and successor, James Gordon Bennett, Jr., introduced to Europe with the founding of the Paris edition. From the beginning, the Paris Herald was a newspaper for people of means and education. Early editions carried their full share of social news, much of it centering around the American expatriate community. But this orientation was accompanied by world news coverage which, for its day, was remarkably extensive..." [from the Foreword]
