Most travellers spend less time inside monuments than in restaurants--yet a food itinerary is the last thing they think about before setting out on holiday. Lonely Planet's World Food: Italy, part of a new series from the benchmark travel publisher, makes it clear that eating well is essential to enjoying a culture.

Italian food is so familiar--pasta, pizza, minestrone soup---that a pocket-book on the subject may seem superfluous.
