Romantic books set in Italy
- We review the best!

What could be more part of Italian culture and traditions than love?  We review the very best romantic books set in Italy that you could ever wish to find. Read, rate, enjoy!

Think of Italian culture and one of the things likely to come into your mind is romance. Love and Italy just go together.

The wonderfully expressive language, the beautiful breathtaking scenery, the warm and friendly people, the comforting food, the overall love of life - that’s the romance of Italy.

So it’s not surprising that there is a wealth of romantic novels set in Italy.

We have read everything and anything there is to read about Italy and everything Italian.

From Italian cook books to guide books and language books to detective novels set in Italy, we have tried hard not to leave a single page unturned!

So these are all books we have read. Some are set in Italy, some are about Italian Americans, some are about people who have settled in Italy and found their spiritual home.

All of them have two things in common. Romance - and Italy.

We love them - and we’d be delighted to know what you think of them too.

This page will be updated soon with our book reviews!
