Since Italy is too large and varied to be researched by one author or even two, Frommer's Italy written by multiple authors and is among the most up-to-date and fastidiously fact-checked of all the guidebooks on Italy presently published.

Most of them live in Italy, all of them publish constantly about Italy in the world's most prestigious media, and some have received major awards for their writings on the country.The book is updated yearly, printed in large, easy to read fonts and contains:- Dozens of maps, from regional and city maps to a handy fold-out map at the front- Gorgeous, full color photos- Opinionated reviews of the country's top historic sights, museums and other attractions as well as hotels, restaurants, shops and nightlife venues in all price ranges.
