Now fully redesigned, this new edition contains the most up-to-the-minute practical information and listings, along with color photographs and maps. In a country full of treasures, Cadogan leads you through the region that lays claim to many of Italy’s jewels. This sumptuous, sensuous area is full of world-renowned beauty, both man-made and natural, from the awesome peaks of the Dolomites and the lush flatlands of the southern Veneto to the World Heritage city of Vicenza and, of course, Venice, the dreamy city of romance, canals and gondolas. Take in the idyllic views of Lake Garda, the medieval castles of Trento and the volcanic clusters of the Po. This is the region that gave us Bellini, Giorgione, Titian and Tiepolo and when you experience the land in all its glory, it’s not hard to see from where they got their inspiration.
