Italian Fields Media is proud to offer the debut work from Patrick Tunno, PhD, A Guide to Italy: Cultural Insights and Tips to Maximize Your Trip. News of a tourist defacing the Colosseum, newly created fines for lingering in Portofino, and a limit imposed on the hoards of guests visiting Italy’s Alto Adige region: there has never been a more relevant time for a travel guide rooted in culture and that encourages meaningful off-the-beaten-path travel.

Travelers will learn the tools to understand, behave like and connect with Italians, and experience Italy in the most rewarding way. Covering topics such as social norms, eating, shopping, traveling, the Italian context, and more, this book delivers a wealth of cultural knowledge and lessons on how to best approach the situations readers will encounter in Italy.

This book’s information takes visitors much further than any guidebook alone, and ensures that time spent in Italy is meaningful and authentic. Links to purchase this book on various platforms will be available at: www.patricktunnophd.com or www.italianfieldsmedia.com.
