Traveler writer is packing it in and releasing his “vasto assortimento”of material on Italy—enough stuff that you’ll need to bring a shopping cart (you’ll have to take it all). Here’s what’s on offer:
MAPS of Italy, of Italian Regions, of cities major and minor, of hiking trails, bike trails, wine roads, nature reserves and more. The maps are in excellent condition.
BOOKS AND BROCHURES of villages, individual attractions (Pompeii, castles, that sort of thing, local culinary specialties, local; events, traditional festas, sporting activities, and so on. And on. Excellent condition.
VERY IMPORTANT! These items are in English, Italian accompanied by English translation, and Italian only. Those in Italian only are, like all the others, very well illustrated—so well that you won’t need any more help than you can get from Google Translate. However, if that is too much effort for you; if you got a case of the dry fantods when you saw the Italian words “vasto assortimento” in the opening paragraph, then these are not for you, OK?
To claim, your cell-phone number is mandatory. Flakes not welcome. You'll sign your name to all messages (I get e-mail and texts by the long ton and often can’t tell one sender from another), respond promptly when I call you, come when you say you will--or at least show me the courtesy of cancelling if you change your mind or are delayed. If this is too hard for you (and it's astonishing how many people can't hack common courtesy), please move on.
