About the author (2010)

Damien still remembers listening to crackly shortwave Italian broadcasts years ago on many an Australian midsummer night. It all started in Rome, part of a typical backpacking tour, and carried on as a university obsession. Damien has explored Italy from Bolzano in the north to the island of Lampedusa, way south of Sicily. He has lived in Milan, Florence, Venice and Palermo, and returns frequently for work and (especially) pleasure. Involved with this guide since its 2nd edition, Damien also wrote the original editions of Lonely Planet's Venice, Best of Venice, Florence, Tuscany and Sardinia guides.
