Leaving the famous galleries to the guidebooks, Mansfield and the illustrator Blanche McManus took a motor car along Italy’s lesser roads. They advise on routes, inns, Chianti and macaroni, describe Italian manners, then drive through Liguria and the Riviera di Levante, Tuscany and the Florentine hills, and on toward Rome and the old fortress towns of the Alban hills.
