Summary: Not the best Lonely Planet edition
Comment: It was definately useful and gave the standard information any tour guide will give you. At times it gave cute anecdotal info that other tour books lacked. However, I found Frommers and Fodor's to be more informative. They gave better itineraries. Lonely Planet wasted too much space on Dining and Lodging. Their other editions are better when it comes to giving advice on which attractions to see. However, as always, their general advice on practices in the country, transportation, and stuff like that, was extremely helpful. I still recommend using Frommer's or Fodor's for a trip to Italy.

Summary: Bravo! Excellent tour guide and easy to use
Comment: I just returned from a wonderful vacation trough Italy visiting Roma, Pisa, Firenze, Venezia, Siena, and Orvieto. The Lonely Planet Italy guide provided very useful information such as history, places to stay and eat, and other up to date pertinent information on each of these places (and more).
The Lonely Planet Italy guide is medium sized and is not heavy. It fits easily on a hand bag. This book is easy to use and understand. It is organized by region, and then by town. Each regional map highlights the most important tourist attractions.
The first two chapters: Facts about Italy and Facts for the Visitors; cover Italian culture, history, and local customs, and many valuable hints for the traveller. Reading this two chapters before leaving help us to prepare and plan our trip.
This book enhanced our travel experience 100%!

Summary: Disappointing
Comment: This is the first time I've been disappointed with a Lonely Planet publication. I found this guide to Italy superficial and not helpful. It didn't contain information about some quite large towns, information about reaching destinations in scant and maps are not easy to read. And I preferred it when Lonely Planet put all the general information in the front of the book followed by the specifics region by region.
