Books, Manuscripts
An tour of modern Italy that takes you behind the face it puts on for visitors and uncovers the far more complex, paradoxical true self. Alongside the historic cities and glorious countryside, there'll be stops at the places where the Italians reveal themselves in all their authentic glory: the airport, the motorway and the living room.
