7 Delightful Books about Italy for 2024: Summer Reading with an Italian Twist

Each of these books about Italy offers a unique perspective on Italy - its history, culture, and food. They’re perfect companions for the end of summer, offering both light-hearted reads and more substantial tomes that will keep you engaged long after the last page is turned.

As you explore these titles, I encourage you to dive deeper into the world of Italian literature, culture, and cuisine through my weekly Substack newsletter and podcast, Flavor of Italy. Here, you'll find interviews with authors, deep dives into Italian history, and plenty of recommendations for those who, like me, have a love affair with Italy.

Happy reading, and may these books about Italy transport you to the heart of Italy, wherever you are.
