The author of this book wants to introduce us to little-known corners of Italy that even experienced travelers might miss. She’ll tell you about the regions of Liguria and Basilicata, about amazing borghi (small historic towns), and vivid cities like Naples, Genoa, and Bari with their ancient traditions. The book acquaints you with dishes unique to each region and with the people who carefully preserve Italy’s culinary heritage. Italy is beautiful all year round — especially in autumn, when you can enjoy the aroma of coffee.
