Throughout its history, Italy has been at the crossroads of people and civilizations. Its roots are in both ancient Rome and early-modern Europe - influences still evident today. The canals of Venice and Roman amphitheatres; Vatican City and the Catholic Church; fast cars and fashion runways; artisanal cheeses and the Slow Food movement - these traditions and more are all celebrated in this volume on Italy's customs and culture.
Covering history and religion; family and friends; food and drink; school and work; arts and entertainment; and cities, towns, and the countryside; Tradition, Culture and Daily Life; Major Nations in a Global World explores what makes key countries unique magnets for the world's fascination.
