Journalist Susan Van Allen has a love affair with Italian adventure, and this book is an exploration of the land of La Dolce Vita. Susan’s personal odyssey in search of the Goddess within has led her to get in touch with the two aspects of femininity that resonate so strongly in Italy; Venus and Mary. Venus of love, beauty, fertility and sexuality and Mary of motherly love, compassion and serenity.
100 Places In Italy Every Woman Should Go is much more than a travel book...although it is that... its a guide to seek out the inner you that vibrates with that special excitement that only Italy can evoke. It could be an outstanding gift for any woman on her way to Italy; part guidebook, part manual to the good life, certainly a knowledgeable travel opus. No matter how well you think you know Italy, this exploration of the nooks and crannies of this fascinating land, its traditions, its buildings, its culture, its religion, its cooking, and how it all relates to the modern woman traveler, will make you want to go and do some more exploring, this time guided by Susan.
Giving a personal interpretation of historical facts about famous and not so famous sites, nearby favorite restaurants and lots of practical advice, one can use this book to plan daily outings in any part of the country, from major cities to the countryside. Specially helpful are suggestions for hair salons and spas, cafés and restaurants, gelaterias, wine bars, shoe stores, perfumeries, antique markets, almost any place of interest to women or run by women is included.
