60% food and wine, 40% sights; not the mix I enjoy. It's still Frances Mayes at her best for pacing and choice of words.
A really slow read. There are some beautiful passages, and it made me desperately miss Italy! On the other hand, the endless descriptions of the churches and dinners start to blur into each other and the snootiness was quickly tiresome. Also, this book would have really benefitted from some photographs and/or maps.
