Some Reasons for Traveling to Italy

More about the book

"Italian cities have been points of reference for much of architect Peter Wilson's professional life and the many reasons for visiting the country have long presented themselves as not just the easy list - holidays, food, architecture and culture - but as the prompt for a more ingrained understanding of Italy's wider architectural habitat and cultural mythology. This book, first published by the AA School in 2016, appears in the form of a latter-day Baedeker. But rather than a pragmatic itinerary, its content offers an eclectic and idiosyncratic list of assorted reasons to head south, richly illustrated by Wilson's own drawings and watercolors"-- Provided by publisher
