First Edition. The Touring Club Italiano was founded in 1894 to promote cycling and to encourage travel throughout Italy. Over the years it has produced several guidebooks detailing much of what the country has to offer to travelers, domestic and international. It is perhaps best known for its Guida D’Italia, informally known as Guide Rosse or Red Guides, which provide detailed descriptions of the major sites and cultural landmarks of Italian cities and regions alongside a rich set of maps and illustrated materials to help guide readers as they navigate between destinations. This guide, focused on Italy’s seaside resorts, gives a brief sketch of each location, categorized by region, as well as a list of railway stations, information services, attractions and hotels.
