 “Forget throwing that coin in the fountain.  No matter how many times you’ve been to Italy and think you know it, reading Susan Van Allen’s “100 Places in Italy Every Woman Should Go” almost guarantees a return trip.  Now I must visit Siena, not for the Palio, but because it was here that St. Catherine bucked family expectations and proclaimed her commitment to Christ thereby becoming a medieval woman to be reckoned with. Susan took her exhaustive research and whipped up a delightful book you’ll only put down long enough to check the flights to that fascinating country.”–Carol Coviello-Malzone, author of “Flavors of Rome:  How What & Where to Eat in  the EternalCity“

In this instance, Susan Van Allen has romped through an Italy replete with seductive goddesses and female saints, architectural wonders, beauty spas, entrancing beaches, shopping sprees and craft/cultural courses, and picked the very best, mixing dreamy delights with drops of dainty decadence. Van Allen suggests readers: “treat this book like a cookbook…and make a full meal of it.” She obviously did. You could–and you should.—David Yeadon, author of “Seasons In Basilicata”
