Italian Guidebooks
Travel guides may be the easiest way to familiarize yourself with an area. In addition to offering helpful cultural overviews, Italian guidebooks contain city-specific information about food, sites, and festivals. The UNC Libraries have some of these titles, but you also might consider buying a copy to take with you overseas.
