Title: A Real Disappointment!!
Review: One of the exciting possibilities in visiting Italy is always the hope of finding a local artisan making one-of-a-kind handcrafted items. Thus, it was with great hope that I ordered Ms. Morelli's book, expecting she had trod the out of the way streets to find undiscovered talent. Not so. While the title is Made in Italy, the book really could have been Made on Google. There is little info that one could not find through a Google search, or just walking around the main piazze of the towns listed. And there is much needless fillers: how many times have you yearned to buy a $36,000 gondola in Venice? Or need to be told where to purchase prosciutto di Parma or parmigiano reggiano? You can go to any local supermarket in Italy or the US. This book might be helpful to someone who has NEVER been to Italy as an overview of each region. For anyone else, it's another case of a person and a publisher trying to make a quick buck on people's love of Italy. For shame on them!
