A Guide to Italy: Cultural Insights and Tips to Maximize Your Trip� by writer, professor, and Italy voyager Patrick Tunno is a rich guide that offers an insider�s perspective on the Italian civilization, cultural norms, language, foods, holidays, and festivals.
Dr. Tunno begins by describing Italy as a country that will intrigue you with its hilltop panoramas and golden horizons dotted with historic buildings and terracotta roofs, along with endless culinary, architectural, and artistic masterpieces. Its ancient cities, such as Venice, Milan, Florence, Parma, and Verona, are home to thousands of residents who value family and social accord but who also exhibit a form of polychronic orientation. This means that they are easily distracted by competing priorities, and their cultural tendency is to use time to accomplish what is needed rather than focus on one specific goal.
Italians are largely Catholic, and they pride themselves on a sense of togetherness. Their concept of equity is different from the American interpretation. Their schools run from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., and they are very affectionate. Traffic is usually erratic, and incorporating the English language when in difficult situations, such as with the authorities, is crucial to visiting individuals.
Dr. Tunno began writing this unique guide after realizing that many travel compasses and platforms out there only provide tourists with lists of what to do, with little to no insight into the cultural knowledge that one may need for a painless approach to various situations that may impact a meaningful, unforgettable, and authentic trip. His view of travel goes beyond visiting sites. He believes that connecting with people is what gives traveling a purpose.
His work is meticulous, and his tone is cordial throughout the text. He writes in simple and easy-to-understand language that both young and mature audiences will easily understand.
ââ?¬Å"A Guide to Italy: Cultural Insights and Tips to Maximize Your Tripââ?¬Â? by Patrick Tunno, PhD includes lessons learned, professional techniques, and realistic knowledge acquired from years of research, personal experiences, interactions with multitudes of locals, and personal interviews. It will give readers a significant gift when planning a vacation, business trip, or study stay in Italy.
