Synopsis

In 1999, Tobias Jones emigrated to Italy, expecting to discover the pastoral bliss described by centuries of foreign visitors. Instead, he discovered a very different country, besieged by unfathomable terrorism and deep-seated paranoia, where crime is scarcely ever met with punishment. "The Dark Heart of Italy" is Jones' account of his three-year voyage across the Italian peninsula.
