Description

This second book from Dario Castagno is a delightfully honest mix of memoirs from life in the hills of Tuscany's legendary Chianti region.

Set on the day the author arrived home after a three-month tour of the United States promoting his first book, A Day in Tuscany compels readers to experience this enchanted corner of Italy through the heart and mind of a true Tuscan.

As Castagno sees his beloved hills with fresh eyes and reacquaints himself with the rhythms of home, a flood of recollections of its people and places come to him.

Through his engaging narrative, we are transported as well.The sights he sees and people he meets as he takes a one-mile walk through his village during the course of this noteworthy day trigger memories of his childhood and adolescence in Tuscany during the seventies, his experiences as a tour guide in Chianti, and some of the more remarkable people he has known.

In addition to stories from his own past, included are oral histories from several village elders.

History and the present mingle in this part of the world, and these stories bring both alive.

Sometimes funny, often poignant, A Day in Tuscany weaves a magical spell and offers a candid insider’s look at the people and culture of a fascinating land.
