Gathering observations from nearly forty years of visiting Italy, James explores Venice, Rome, Florence, and lesser-known cities with deep affection and keen insight. He celebrates Italian beauty, art, and life while acknowledging material hardships faced by its people. The extensively revised essays reveal James as both passionate admirer and thoughtful observer, capturing what he calls "the luxury of loving Italy" through vivid sketches of neighborhoods, landscapes, and cultural treasures.
