Résumé

In this compelling, enlightening journey of self-discovery, the author introduces us to the unrivaled artistic, cultural, historical, and culinary riches of Italy. Along the way, he samples Venetian tapas, Renaissance and Baroque treasures, ancient history, and sweet romance. He delves into the country's very soul, intent on gleaning as much pleasure and knowledge as is humanly possible from his cultural immersion. He also has another very important mission to accomplish: repatriating his mother's cremains in the beautifully rustic region of Apulia and into the Adriatic Sea. This voyage is full of evocative descriptions, enticing dining experiences, and acute nostalgia for days of yore. It is breathtakingly beautiful, highly instructive, and lastingly bittersweet. It will make a powerful impression on the reader on many levels. So, sit back in your chair, open this modest book, and embark on your own wondrous journey through the beautiful country.
