Book 15
Do you want to learn about Greece? So come to Sicily. It is a paradox, for sure, but only to a certain extent. The Greek cities of Sicily (Agrigento, Selinunte, Segesta, Syracuse, to mention the most important) were among the most beautiful of the Hellenic world. Nowadays, to visit the Valley of Temples at Agrigento or to watch a summer performance in the great Greek Theatre of Syracuse is to plunge yourself into the remote Hellenic past. And this is also true in Sicily for many other historical eras and civilizations, from the Spanish to the French.
This guide leads you in a week-long drive in the Island of Sicily: starting with Messina, touching the Aeolian Islands, and then Taormina, Acireale, Catania, Syracuse, Caltagirone, Piazza Armerina with its Roman Villa, Agrigento with the Greek Temples, Porto Empedocle, Selinunte, to arrive in Palermo, with a visit to Solunto and Monreale.

Book 26
Perhaps it is the evocative nature of the place, or a certain enchanted air (we might almost say "mystic") that you breathe to some extent everywhere, but sooner or later whoever visits Umbria ends up thinking: Saint Francis, that great, gentle, tender and poetic Saint of happiness and meekness could only have been born here in Umbria.
In this place of ever-green, enchanted and radiant nature, in these towns the concept of "historic center" seems inadequate and reductive, so widespread is the monumental and artistic component in the towns of Umbria.
Perugia, for example, the regional capital, just to describe it is to lose oneself in the richness, complexity and magnificence of its architectural and artistic treasures.
This guide covers the region of Umbria, in Central Italy, called "the green heart of Italy". In detail it covers Perugia, Assisi, Gubbio, Passignano sul Trasimeno, Orvieto, Spello, Spoleto, Todi.
