Taking the reader away from the familiar trappings of modern life out into the wilderness to explore the real countryside of Italy, this book is a tour from the rugged fastnesses of the Dolomites across Venetian lagoons to witness the migration of Adriatic fowl. Marble mountains in Tuscany slowly transmute into the mist-wreathed hills of Umbria, while in the Sicilian summer the sirocco wind scorches mercilessly. Photographs and drawings of wildlife species illustrate the main text, which is then complemented by fact packs suggesting walks, activities and useful information about each locality. Maps help with journey planning and each exploration zone, of which there are some 50 selected by the author, is rated according to the degree of wildness. Tim Jepson is the author of "Umbria: The Green Heart of Italy".
