From time to time, Bill Breckon of The Watermill at Posara in Tuscany, has been writing this series of essays as a new and unique way of looking at the smaller historic towns that make up the true Italy.
The idea is this: four friends with different passions and expertise arrive Just in Time for an Aperitivo. They enjoy the evening passeggiata, drinks, a dinner sampling local specialities, then a good night’s sleep in a hotel/pensione, awaking refreshed to see the cultural and scenic attractions of the town and the local area. They talk about their own enthusiasms and expertise, about people and places, music, history, art and architecture, language, culture, food.....everything that contributes to la bella vita italiana.
This is not a traditional guidebook, but a series of love letters to Italy.
Bill suffers from a Parkinsonism and the essays are read by his wife, Lois.
