When the Autostrade del Sole extended south from Naples to the Reggio di Calabria, Morton seized the chance to explore a part of Italy comparatively unknown (as it still is) to travellers. From the mountains of Abruzzi he went to the 'heel' and 'toe' of Italy, with their memories of Magna Graecia; and he explored the undeveloped rivieras of the Tyrrhenian and Ionian coastlines. Everywhere he went he found himself - characteristically - fascinated by the people, their folklore and traditions. In Cocullo he saw the local saint's statue carried through town, covered with living snakes; in Bari, he attended the annual feast where the statue of St Nicholas is taken out to sea for a day; and in the 'deep south', he found people who believe that a cure for being poisoned by the tarantula spider is to dance the 'tarantella' until they fall down exhausted. Lively, intimate, informative and personable, this, like all of Morton's books is travel writing at its very finest.
