I read this book after I read "Bel Vino", Isabella Dusi's second book about life in a small Italian hill village. It is a good read but not as expressive about the rich culture and the people who live here. I reccommend that the reader reads this book first and then reads "Bel VIno". It made me want to get on the first plane to Italy and move in!
