520			_aA wealth of information on the Italian people and their culture, traditions, country and passions is found on the pages of this excellent resource. The detailed and well-written text contains facts about Italy's geography, history, government, economy, environment, language and more. Full-color photographs will whet students' appetites for a taste of Italy. Photos of the Coliseum in Rome and the Valley of the Temples in Sicily provide readers a glimpse of the country's ancient grandeur. Pictures of more recent times depict the art and architecture surrounding modern Italians. The land called Italy has been blessed with natural beauty in its mountains, lakes, beaches and fertile plains. Readers are given a tour through its diverse geography̮from the mountains of Piedmont to the beaches of Sardinia, stopping in fishing villages and cities along the way. This book, which is one in the publisher's "Cultures of the World" series, contains many useful maps and charts.
