Around the World in 80 Days Mini Reading Challenge: Italy

Mar 26, 2024 | Around the World in 80 Days

Today’s destination is: Italy

Italy, a land steeped in history, art, and culinary mastery, casts an irresistible spell on all who venture within its borders. From the ancient ruins of Rome to the romantic canals of Venice, Italy is a treasure trove of cultural wonders. The country’s architectural marvels, such as the Colosseum, the Duomo of Florence, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa, stand as enduring symbols of its rich heritage.

Yet, Italy’s allure extends far beyond its historic sites; it is a gastronomic paradise, where each region boasts its own culinary traditions and specialties, from Neapolitan pizzas to Tuscan wines. The picturesque landscapes, from the sun-kissed coasts of the Amalfi to the rolling hills of Tuscany, provide the backdrop for unforgettable experiences.

With its blend of timeless charm, artistic splendor, and culinary delights, Italy promises an enchanting journey through the heart of Mediterranean culture.

We’re presenting a selection of sapphic books set in Italy, but you are not obligated to read one of the titles below. Find any book set in Italy. Read it. Submit a form to enter to win a $75 Amazon gift card.

Happy travels!
