Any ideas about good books to read before going to Italy? I'm interested in books about the history of Italy, in particular, and maybe even historical fiction, for a lighter approach. Recommendations for good guide books about the cities are also welcome.
Now that I think about it, recommendations for movies set in Italy would be super too. I believe the ABD website mentioned that we would go to a site in Tuscany where a movie was filmed, but can't remember the name of the movie at the moment.
I'm considering letting my kids watch a few minutes of Gladiator just to get a feel -- but will have to re-watch the movie first, as I seem to remember that about 90% is inappropriate for kids...
Thanks!
