The above links are current. If anyone has any suggestions for other sites, please feel free to post your comment and I'll update this blog entry.

Some of the above, you can find in guide books but the Internet is providing a wealth of information and resources about Italy. Right now, you can find it on the web faster than finding it in print. I am sure there are more sites but this is a start. In the future, please check back because I am updating these blog entries based on the interaction with the readers of this blog and as I discover new links in my continuing search for knowledge and other interesting sites.
