1.Lidia s Italy: 140 Simple and Delicious Recipes from the Ten Places in Italy Lidia Loves MostLidia's Italy: 140 Simple and Delicious Recipes from the Ten Places in Italy Lidia Loves Most
from Knopf
Price: $23.10

Customer Review:
After watching an episode of the tv series that this book is based on, I ordered two books - one to give as a gift and one for myself. The gift was very well received. Lidia is wonderful to watch, listen to and read, especially if you are nostalgic about your Italian heritage as I am.

3.Murder of a Medici PrincessMurder of a Medici Princess
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:
Caroline Murphy's new book is another "must have" for lovers of remarkable lesser-known royal stories. One is taken into the extraordinarily "ahead-of-her-time" life of Isabella de Medici, a Renaissance princess and daughter of the first Grand Duke of Tuscany. A thoroughly gifted, cultured and... more info

4.1434: The Year a Magnificent Chinese Fleet Sailed to Italy and Ignited the Renaissance1434: The Year a Magnificent Chinese Fleet Sailed to Italy and Ignited the Renaissance
from William Morrow
Price: $17.79

Customer Review:
I read 1421 a few years ago, and am sympathetic to Gavin Menzies thesis that the Chinese discovered America before the Portuguese and before Columbus. As an Australian friend of mine said in his oral review of the book, "if even half the stuff in this book (1421) is true than it's pretty amazing."... more info

from Penguin Classics
Price: $8.00

Customer Review:
If you think you cannot have at the same time a complicated job and
peace of spirit, if you think your job is too demanding, if you think
your house is a chaos that inevitably makes your nerves explode...if
you think some of that, then you should read Marcus Aurelius more info

6.Brunelleschi s Dome: How a Renaissance Genius Reinvented ArchitectureBrunelleschi's Dome: How a Renaissance Genius Reinvented Architecture
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:
No, this isn't a book about an Italian guy with a big head, although Filippo Brunelleschi certainly had a massive ego. Brunelleschi's Dome is about the city of Florence generally during one of the greatest periods of genius and creativity in human history. It is also, specifically, about the life of... more info

from Penguin Classics
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
It took me about five months of off-and-on reading to slog through City of God--it was time well-spent. Here is one of the rare 1000-page books that not only deserved its length, but could have been longer.
What astounded me about reading St. Augustine was how relevant he is, even after 1600... more info

10.The Fall of the Roman Empire: A New History of Rome and the BarbariansThe Fall of the Roman Empire: A New History of Rome and the Barbarians
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:
Most company failures come as a surprise to management and shareholders alike. The downdraft is often sudden and devastating -- think Bear Stearns -- but Peter Heather shows C-Level executives everywhere a new way to think about what can happen and the ways it can happen.
The collapse of Rome... more info
