For our list on great books about Italy, we’re going to keep it lighthearted - no heavy tomes, no dense, exacting reads; life in quarantine is already hard enough.

The books we selected are witty, fun, will give you a glimpse into the the mind and lifestyle of the Italians or transport you to Italy.  We suggest you turn off the TV, stop bingeing on the news (it will only make you feel even more discouraged), leave social media aside for a while - grab one of these books instead! You’ll have fun.
