Synopsis

Expatriates David Leavitt and Mark Mitchell share their personal experiences and observations of Italy in this collection of alternating essays. They vividly describe the everyday joys and surprises of their adopted homeland, from iced cappuccinos and umbrella pines to the nuances of language and the shapes of pasta. Whimsical illustrations and excerpts from favorite writers complement this delightful portrait of Italian culture.
