There’s a timeless allure to Italy that captures hearts around the world. Whether its the wine, cuisine, the sun-drenched hills and stone façades, or the delightful inhabitants, Italy keeps drawing us back. During my time living in Germany, I had the privilege of returning time and time again to explore Venice, Florence, Verona, Lake Garda, and Tuscany, and I’ll be visiting the Amalfi Coast for the first time this summer. I never tire of it. And for my fellow lovers of this enchanting place, here’s a curated collection of Italy coffee table books so you can escape to this magical place right from your living room.
