See You in the Piazza by Frances Mayes reads like notes for a book...or a travel guide. A light froth of history and literature and a heavy handed dose of I went here and did, or more precisely, ate this. Maybe she should have covered less ground with fewer companions. How can you go to Este and not even mention the incomparable Isabella d’ Este?
Any of the four books on Italy by H.V. Morton are greatly superior. Especially A Traveller in Italy.
