¦^he Italians have turned their passion for living into an art. And nowhere is their instinctive skill for la dolce vita so pure and exuberant as it is in the countryside. In Italian Country Living, Catherine Sabino takes us on a tour that celebrates the extraordinary beauty and appeal of Italy's countryside, mountains and seashore. Here are the golden fields and vineyards of Tuscany and Umbria in autumn, the snowy Alpine ridges in winter, the luxurious villas of Lake Maggiore and Lake Como in spring, and the beaches of the Riviera, the Amalfi coast and Sardinia in summer.
More than 400 colour photographs reveal the secrets of the Italian way of life, presenting the best of interior design as well as the landscape, interiors, crafiis and food of each region. Visits to cheese-making shops, vineyards and silk factories; recipes for such specialities as panzanella and zuppa valdostana; and a complete directory of home rental agencies, hotels, restaurants and shops - all combine to form not only a sumptuous distillation of Italian lifestyle at its best, but also a unique source of ideas for the traveller.
Inviting us to savour the joys of past visits and to dream of trips yet to come, Italian Country Living s\iOYis how we can all create the spirit and beauty of Italy in our own homes.
