An Italian in Italy

“Ten days, thirty places, from north to south. From food to politics. From saintliness to sexuality. This ironic, methodical, and sentimental examination will help you understand why Italy – as Beppe Says ‘can have you fuming and then purring in the space of a hundred meters or ten minutes’.”

“An Italian in Italy is the English version of La testa degli italiani (Rizzoli 2005), published in the US by Broadway Books as La bella figura, the first non-fiction New York Times Bestseller by an Italian author in a long time.”
