Thankfully i managed to record all four episodes of Francescos very entertaining Top to Toe series on Italy onto disc.

His ladish exploits in that gorgeous Alfa Spider made the series a more lite hearted affair to his magnificent Venice,and his influnce in being one of the oldest Venitian families opened doors into fabulous palaces and villas that are barred to all members of the public.

Francesco da Mosto, an engaging Venetian aristocrat, expands on his earlier fond tribute to his home city, to create a even fonder tribute to his home country. He is a great guide to the cultural pleasures and history of Italy, and his enthusiasm is infectious; the photos in the book are wonderful, too, and all in all, this would make a great gift for anyone who has ever been transported by (or to) Italy.

- Francesco's Italy, Fantastic
This is a wonderfully written book with beautiful pictures to support a super tour from the top to the bottom of Italy.
If you have been there it is a wonderful reminder, if you are new to this outstanding country it is taste of all that awaits you.

- Francesco in text.
A thoroughly enoyable read, and at the discounted price cannot be overlooked. I expected more submersion in the various regional cultures; somehow these do not transmit as well as they do in the TV series. However this must be one of the 2006 summer essentials for those of us who seek a little more than a package of short stop overs in provincial Italian towns.
