Tobias Jones sets out to answer many questions during his voyage across the Italian peninsula. He discovers a country which is proudly visual rather than verbal and where crime is hardly ever followed by punishment. This edition includes Berlusconi's refusal to leave office after his electoral defeat and Italy's World Cup victory.
