SynopsisWhat does it mean to be Italian? Is it pausing to enjoy an aperitivo or gelato ? A passeggiata down a laneway steeped in history? An August spent tanning at the beach? This book is a celebration of the Italian lifestyle - an education in drinking to savour the moment, travelling indulgently, and cherishing food and culture. A lesson in the dolce far niente : the sweetness of doing nothing. We may not all live in the bel paese , but anyone can learn from the rich tapestry of life on the boot. From the innovation of Italian fashion and design, the Golden Age of its cinema to the Roman Empire's cultural echoes (and some very good espresso ), take a dip into the Italian psyche and learn to eat, love, dress, think, and have fun as only the Italians can., What does it mean to be Italian?
