Though Naples and the Amalfi Coast are better treated, the rest of southern Italy typically receives short shrift from the writers of travel guides, probably because this lovely region is less geared toward tourism. This Cadogan guide goes a long way toward ameliorating the problem. While covering the more obvious highlights, the authors also dig and delve into the details that bring interest and a sense of intrigue to almost any given site. Wit and humor further enliven the text, which reads more like story than guide. Where else would the traveller encounter the tale of the ancient witches' sabbath on the banks of the River Sabato, or discover the most beautiful rose window in Italy, at Troia? If you are a serious traveller, don't go to southern Italy without this gem of a resource.
