Michelin Green Guide Italy
Ref: MCH1534
This is an example of the format of the Michelin Green Guides.
Well established authoritative tourist guides these include practical information, detailed mapping combined with colour photographs and illustrations.
Below is the introduction to the guide from the publisher.
Welcome to Italy, the Bel Paese, where each sense is awakened at every turn. Panoramas unfold before your eyes, with every hue of the artist’s palette represented: the azure of the sky and the sea; the green of Alpine pastures; the white of snow-capped mountains; the russet of roof tiles; the yellow of ripening lemons. The sounds of Italy are a harmony of innumerable dialects, recalling the days of the Roman Empire, of the eras of conflict and conquest, and of the cultural influence of people from other countries of Europe and the Mediterranean. The fragrances and flavours of Italy are there to be savoured: linger over a lunch of seafood and pasta; experience the taste of distinctive olive oils and vinegars; enjoy the many fruits of the generous land and the vine. For thousands of years, Italy has nurtured talent and given the world some of its greatest artistic creations: elegant verse, refined architecture of ideal proportions and graceful painting and sculpture.
Enjoy the dolce vita in a country where time seems to advance more slowly, where the illustrious past imbues the land with a special glow.
