A celebration of everything we love about Italy, from art and architecture to food and family life.


There are endless reasons to love Italy. This beautiful country has us hooked on morning espressos and afternoon spritzes, bowls of pasta and slices—oh, so many slices—of pizza. It has us wearing chic street style, admiring great art, and driving gleaming sports cars. Heck, it even has us thinking about the Roman Empire. Italy has seduced us all, and we’re here for it.

In this love letter to the world’s favorite country, you’ll find everything you know and love about Italy: the classic food, the dreamy landscapes, and the Renaissance masterpieces. Along the way, you’ll meet the people who make Italy what it is, the philosophies they live by, and the traditions that make la dolce vita.

We all want to live the Italian life. With this book, you’re one step closer.
