I came across the book La bella Lingua: my love affair with Italian, the world's most enchanting language by Dianne Heles a few years ago and I found it fascinating.
As the author says this book is for "people who enjoy Italian food, music, art, film, travel and traditions. If you love Italy, you’ll love learning about its language. If you come from an Italian family, you’ll discover more about your heritage. If you’re studying Italian, you’ll find a new perspective that takes you beyond vocabulary and grammar. If you’re traveling to Italy, you’ll appreciate more about the people you meet and the places you visit. And if you’re an armchair adventurer—well, buckle your seat belt!"
So I really hope that you will enjoy it as much as I did.
