Author's guest post at my blog: https://bookfare.blogspot.com/2021/04/foodfic-please-welcome-back-carole.html In this time of covid and lockdowns, what a better way to get your travel fix, than to read a delightful travel book! "A September to Remember: Searching for Culinary Pleasures at the Italian Table" is an excellent choice. In this third book in a series of travel and culinary adventures, Carole Bumpus has a winner, with something for every sort of traveller, famous sites, the off beaten path, rentals with friends, a bit of history, and then there's the food! With a chapter of recipes at the end of the book for you to try! Now, where can I find some wild boar? We read about the unexpected fun adventures of village festivals, literally right on the doorstep, the confusing time of trying to cope with a different shopping culture with respect to opening times and vast varieties of pasta, enough to make your head spin, as well as hilarious times trying to eat outside under an awning as torrential rain strikes. We get good tips on not only what to expect at crowded famous sites, such as the Blue Grotto and the Isle of Capri, but things not to miss, such as the view from the top of the cupola of the Basilica at St. Peter's square. If you liked Peter Mayle's books on France and "Under the Tuscan Sun" by Frances Mayes, you will enjoy this book. It's fitting to end with a quote the author chose by Cicero, my favourite line in the book, "A room without books is like a body without a soul." Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

This book enlightens the reader to the warmth, uniqueness and embracing personalities of the Italian people. After reading this couple's experiences, it would be difficult for the reader not to feel a definite endearment toward Italians. From the first couple of days in Italy, they were rewarded with the opportunity to "live" the Italian experience" rather than just Tour Italy.
I was especially intrigued to learn the unique way Easter is celebrated in Florence. It was interesting to learn that many traditions from the early Christianity era, also entwined the belief of pagan Gods into them.
When inquiring about who the Etruscans were, they discovered the Etruscans have been around since abut 900 BC. yet it is unclear where they came from. There are amazing tombs and astute highways which were built by them. much of the artistic accomplishments and other advancements Rome was credited with, actually were adapted from the Etruscan people.
Florence is very festive and extremely talented in culinary.
In visiting the countryside villages as well as well-known cities, the Bumpus's discovered each community has its individual traditions and specialties. The closeness in communities are like a strong family unit.
From humorous to harrowing experiences, 'A September to Remember' is a delightful story.
