The Last Italian Portrait of a People

Drawing from a lifetime of writing about Italy, William Murray takes us off the beaten path to give us more than landmarks, more than art history, more than four-star restaurants and two-dimensional landscapes. He explores an Italy rarely seen: the terrain of her soul and geography of her character. Book jacket.

William Murray has been on the staff of The New Yorker since 1956
