Jeff Lucas recommends:

Italian Ways - Tim Parks

A very amusing book about the Italian railways.  Highly recommended.   Any of Tim Parks non-fiction on life in Italy are highly recommended - he is very readable and entertaining.

The Italians - Hooper

Just out - not read it, but looks good.

Italy - a Cultural Guide   -    Hauser

80 or 90 very short essays on various aspects of historical Italian Art and Culture.  A great holiday book.  Out of print but secondhand available.
