"With grace and elegance, Ms. Conelli shares the city’s special spots, only known by locals and passionate lovers of Milan. Her unique way of capturing the magic of places and people she writes about is ever present, guiding you through Milan – by morning, day or night. Every part of the book brings a different perspective to the essence of love. It is as if you follow the author’s every step of the journey and you feel an unavoidable desire to walk the streets of Milan on location, not only through your imagination." (Erica Johansson, Travel Blissful)

"By describing in detail only personal, quirky aspects of the whole, you create a vivid picture for your readers. This is exactly how Barb Conelli brings to life the Milan she knows and loves. Instead of reciting a shopping list of Places You Must See, which you could find in any guide to Milan, Conelli figuratively takes you by the hand and says, 'Forget the official tour. Let me show you my Milan, the people and places I love.' " (Kate Allison, The Displaced Nation)
