## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bellissimo!
*by A***R on August 17, 2022*

I just came back from two weeks in beautiful Italy and this book was a wonderful resource. The sections on history and politics helped me understand who the Italians are today and the challenges they face, while the chapters on values and attitudes helped me understand the philosophy and concepts that underlie the unique Italian take on life. Chapters on festivals, cuisine, socializing, home life and etiquette gave me all the necessary tools when it came to interacting and befriending locals. The book’s information went a long way to improving the quality of my trip and I’m looking forward to discovering more in the series ahead of my next trip abroad.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Is An Interesting Excellent Book About Italy.
*by W***M on February 25, 2022*

I enjoyed my visit to Italy in 1990. This book is an interesting excellent book about Italy. Some of the interesting information that is in this book include the following information: The Italians like to buy their food fresh and going to the market is an important part of their daily lives. Supermarkets account for about 6% of the Italian food market in Italy. Small grocery stores and open- air markets are still the preferred way of shopping in Italy. However, the major supermarkets in Italy include Coop Italia, Interdis, Conad, and SPAR. Italians usually take their own bags to the supermarket in Italy. Because of the prevalence of tax evasion in Italy, shops, restaurants, and bars are required by law to issue customers receipts. If they do not do so, they can be heavily fined. Italians take a month's vacation every year and this tends to be in August, when most family firms close down completely except those in the tourist trade.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderfully concise!
*by S***D on June 4, 2025*

The author gets the job done with speed and clarity in a very practical way, which I very much appreciated.
