Description
Tuscany. What's it really like? The author of the acclaimed Inside Tuscany: A Second Time Around guide book series offers a new anthology of essays about living and traveling in Tuscany and Italy. Book Sections I. P8: Many of the best foods of Italy begin with the letter P: pizza, pecorino Toscano, porcini mushrooms, pasta, parmigiano reggiano, prosciutto, porchetta, and pici. II. Working and Living: including my philosophy for slow travel, what my workday looks like, the benefits of speaking Italian, a visit to the hospital emergency ward, and mysterious vibes. III. Rome: staying at a convent, remembering World War II, visiting the Coliseum's underground, and touring the Borghese. IV. Characters: memorable people and Naples. V. Food: reflections on the simplicity of the Italian cuisine, the coffee culture, a favorite restaurant, the grand International food tasting market, olive harvest, polenta festival, and my own pasta FAQ. VI. Skills: essays about the art of travel, packing, tipping, using bathrooms, and interesting Italian behaviors. "Inside Tuscany Books" publishes guidebooks that feature less-visited sites in southern Tuscany, teach the basics of art, and share family recipes. The guidebooks feature Scott Tiezzi Grabinger's philosophy of slow travel focussing on setting up a base for exploration. The books are unique in that the author has several years of experience traveling in Tuscany. His books have a unique point of view because he has numerous cousins to teach him about places other guidebooks miss and he speaks Italian. He has also written a highly praised memoir of essays recounting his adventures and misadventures while traveling in Italy entitled "Walking the Aqueduct."
