Lonely Planet's A Small Place in Italy
When author Eric Newby and his wife first came upon their dream house, it was actually a derelict farm in northern Tuscany, near the Italian Alps. They became the first outsiders to settle in the rural community, and the story of their transition from outsiders to friends and neighbors is a delight from start to finish. The saga of the actual stone-by-stone rebuilding is interspersed with delightful portraits of country life. The Newbys earn the respect and acceptance of their colorful neighbors, who delight in sharing with them the treasures of the region, while helping in the enormous task of restoring their home. A lovingly created portrait of fascinating people and a timeless landscape. Softcover, 221 pages. (8 x 5"; 9 oz)
