Bestselling and beloved author Frances Mayes discovers the hidden pleasures of Italy in a sumptuous travel narrative that crisscrosses the country, with inventive new recipes celebrating Italian cuisine
The Roman Forum, the Leaning Tower, the Piazza San Marco: these are the sights synonymous with Italy. But such landmarks only scratch the surface of this magical country's offerings. In See You in the Piazza, Frances Mayes introduces us to the Italy only the locals know, as she and her husband, Ed, eat and drink their way through thirteen regions—from Friuli to Sicily. Along the way, she seeks out the cultural and historic gems not found in traditional guidebooks.
Frances conjures the enchantment of the backstreets, the hubbub of the markets, the dreamlike wonder of that space between lunch and dinner when a city cracks open to those who would wander or when a mind is drawn into the pages of a delicious book—and discloses to us the secrets that only someone who is on intimate terms with a place could find.
Includes a bonus PDF of recipes.

      For centuries, listeners have been transported by the lively accounts and fantastic tales of travelers. Now audiobook listeners, as armchair travelers, can experience the sumptuous pleasures, cultural enlightenment, and untrammeled beauty of small Italian towns spread throughout Italy, as described by author Frances Mayes, who wrote UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN. Mayes introduces the production and finishes the travelogue in her own voice, but it is gifted narrator Cassandra Campbell who takes us on the journey to lesser-known destinations in Italy, traveling from north to south, including Sardinia and Sicily. Campbell's voice is cultured, warm, and clear, showing enthusiasm for the Italian way of life, its people, medieval churches, natural wonders, wines, and unique regional cuisine. This audiobook is great fun, but a map, wine list, and recipe cards would be helpful. D.L.G. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
