With warmth and keen observation, Nichols presents the Italy that lies beneath the tourist surface — its regional passions, its contradictions, its ancient rhythms, and the fiercely proud people who embody them. The narrative illustrates how a foreigner can be simultaneously enchanted and confounded by a nation so layered in history, politics, and beauty that it resists easy understanding. Written in an intimate and reflective tone, the book argues that Italy is not merely a place to visit but a civilization to be absorbed slowly, imperfectly, and with great devotion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887905321179,"sku":"2026200007465-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/d5480e90-6d69-4a14-be46-42843a344d09.png?v=1781748594","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007465-secondhand-italia-italia","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
