Italy - summer vacation guide

The Times (the original ... from London) has a large new guide to summer holiday in Italy.

Like the most beautiful girl in school, Italy knows full well that everyone is in love with her. We can’t disguise how besotted and bewitched we are by her natural, national style: we can’t help staring when men in Armani suits pootle about on Vespas, perfectly elegant couples perform their evening passeggiata , and even the nuns drive like Michael Schumacher.

Includes pages of tips for vacations with or without kids. Good background info for your Mediterranean cruise.
