The Guide to the Historical Places of Italy, published by the Association and now in its thirty-fifth edition, is the only one of its kind, and it is reviewed by the Italian press along with the most important national guides.

Now with twelve new establishments,this edition presents two hundred and thirty-two of the oldest and most prestigious hotels, restaurants, trattorie, pastry-shops, confectioners’, grapperie, and literary cafés. Establishments that have made the history of Italy and that still preserve their interiors, atmospheres, furnishings, and mementos, along with delicious products of surpassing appeal.

This year the Guide also pays tribute to the 150th Anniversary of the Unification of Italy, bestowing particular honour on the thirty-five establishments which, during the Risorgimento, witnessed episodes in the unification of the country.

With line drawings in true nineteenth-century style created by the painter Gianni Renna, and directed by journalist Claudio Guagnini, the Guide is published in English and Italian and is over 250 pages long.

It comes out in February and copies are available free of charge at the Association headquarters and from Association members. If you wish to receive a copy by post, at no more than the cost of shipping, please contact the secretary’s office of the Association using the form Contact Us.

The entire Guide, each page of which is devoted to a single establishment, can also be consulted on this site, using the search options.
