They've checked out all of Italy's best hotels, attractions, shops, wineries, and restaurants in person, and offer authoritative, candid reviews that will help you find the venues that suit your tastes and budget, whether you're a backpacker or on a romantic honeymoon. Most importantly, none of these journalists are shy about telling you what you should see...and what you can skip without regret.
