Books set in Italy?

By AcarusBrisk

Hey! I’m hoping to make a trip to Italy once all this calms down (fingers crossed for sometime after winter 2021). When I travel, I like to read something that really gets the vibe of where I’m going. Like I read The Miniaturist before checking out Amsterdam’s canal houses, and The Painted Girls right before I went to see the Degas stuff and the Palais Garnier in Paris. For Italy, I’d love recs for fiction or non-fiction that involve Venice, Rome, Pompeii, and/or Florence. So far I’ve got The City of Falling Angels, Under the Tuscan Sun, and Death in Venice on my list. What else should I add? Thanks!
