Frances Mayes, whose enchanting #1 New York Times bestseller Under the Tuscan Sun made the world fall in love with Tuscany, invites readers back for a delightful new season of friendship, festivity, and food, there and throughout Italy. Having spent her summers in Tuscany for the past several years, Frances Mayes relished the opportunity to experience the pleasures of primavera, an Italian spring. A sabbatical from teaching in San Francisco allowed her to return to Cortona—and her beloved house, Bramasole—just as the first green appeared on the rocky hillsides. Bella Tuscany, a companion volume to Under the Tuscan Sun, is her passionate and lyrical account of her continuing love affair with Italy. Now truly at home there, Mayes writes of her deepening connection to the land, her flourishing friendships with local people, the joys of art, food, and wine, and the rewards and occasional heartbreaks of her villa's ongoing restoration. It is also a memoir of a season of change, and of renewed possibility. As spring becomes summer she revives Bramasole's lush gardens, meets the challenges of learning a new language, tours regions from Sicily to the Veneto, and faces transitions in her family life. Filled with recipes from her Tuscan kitchen and written in the sensuous and evocative prose that has become her hallmark, Bella Tuscany is a celebration of the sweet life in Italy. Now with an excerpt from Frances Mayes's latest southern memoir, Under Magnolia.

Criswell's move from New York City to Tuscany was not supposed to go like this. She had envisioned lazy mornings sipping espresso while penning a bestselling novel and jovial group dinners, just like in the movies and books about expatriate life in Italy. Then she met reality: no work, constant struggles with Italian bureaucracy to claim citizenship, and becoming the talk of the town after her torrid affair with a local fruit vendor.

We still are in the digital era but paper and classic travel journals are making a welcoming comeback. Keep this Italy travel journal to jot down how the day went, the itineraries you choose, the cities you visit, the people you meet and even how your feet hurt after wandering the amazing streets of Italian cities nonstop! Benefits of Travel Journaling: A journal makes your trip to Italy more memorable. Keeping a diary makes you more attentive and even more perceptive in the long run. In today's constant rush pausing for a moment of reflection to fill in your travel journal is invaluable. There is no need to be afraid of forgetting your unique experiences because you will write them down however briefly. You have a tool at hand to fight boredom during long waits for a train or bus. Adding drawings to your journal and making photos with your phone are two different animals. The discernment you put in a sketch will never be there when you press a button absent-mindedly twenty times in a row. You don't have to compete with Vincent Van Gogh and your doodles will be precious memories you will treasure. You will be able to share magic moments of your trips to Italy with your kids or grandchildren because you will remember every detail thanks to your travel journal. TIP: A journal is the perfect gift for a traveler. Italian Travel Diary Features: This Italy journal is suitable for just about everybody: women, men, girls, boys and teens. The varied pictures on the cover anticipate the beauty that awaits you in Italy. The travel notebook features 108 blank lined pages for you to journal away to your heart's content. This Italy travel journal is an ideal size for traveling. Neither too large nor too small. It has a light soft cover that fits easily in any bag, suitcase or backpack. A travel journal should not be too heavy. TIP: Take a little glue stick with you or buy one in Italy and slap notes, train tickets, and business cards next to your writing. Writing your Travel Journal Try not to be self-conscious. A journal is not a novel and you don't have to worry about getting your grammar one hundred percent perfect. If you are afraid of blank pages simply jot down notes about the places you just saw. Start with brief comments and over time your writings will get longer without you even trying. Perhaps you will get into the habit of keeping a daily journal at home, which is always a great thing. If you are going to Italy with your kids, buy one for them too and they will probably get even more excited about their trip to Italy, Europe. They may also get used to keeping a diary at home, something that will surely help them in their life journey. TIP: Do not buy the crappiest pen. Use a decent one that writes smoothly.

A lavishly illustrated ode to the joys of Tuscany’s people, food, landscapes, and art, from the bestselling author of Under the Tuscan Sun and See You in the Piazza “A love letter to Italy written in precise and passionate language of near-poetic density.”—Newsday In Tuscany celebrates the abundant pleasures of life in Italy as it is lived at home, at festivals, feasts, restaurants and markets, in the kitchen and on the piazza, in the vineyards, fields, and olive groves. Combining essays by Frances Mayes and a chapter by her husband, poet Edward Mayes, with more than 200 full-color photos by photographer Bob Krist, each of this book's five sections highlights a signature aspect of Tuscan life: La Piazza: the locus of Italian village life. With photographs of the shop signs, the outdoor markets, medieval streets, people, their pets and their cars, and snippets of conversations overheard, Mayes reveals the life of the Piazza in her town of Cortona as well as out-of-the-way places such as Volterra, Asciano, Monte San Savino, and Castelmuzio. La Festa: the celebration. Essays and photos of feasts and celebrations, such as the Christmas dinner for twenty-seven at a neighbor's house and a donkey race around the church at Montepulciano Stazione, illustrate how the Tuscans celebrate the seasons--their open ways of friendship, their connection to nature, and most of all, their sense of abundance. Il Campo: the field. Here Edward Mayes evokes the deep sense of the shift of seasons as he picks olives before he and Frances head off to the olive oil mill and enjoy the first bruscette with new oil. La Cucina: the kitchen. An intimate view of the all-important role of the kitchen in Tuscan culture, including photographs of her own kitchen and gardens, menus from great local cooks, the elements of the Tuscan table, dishes with cultural and culinary notes on each, and, of course, delectable recipes. La Bellezza: the beauty. From the quality of the light falling on sublime landscapes in different seasons and Tuscan faces in moments of laughter to a silhouette of cypress trees in the early evening and a wild bird perched on a neigbor's head, In Tuscany features views of beauty that reveal the singular splendor of one of the world's best-loved and most artistic regions.

They had met and married on perilously short acquaintance, she an American chef and food writer, he a Venetian banker. Now they were taking another audacious leap, unstitching their ties with exquisite Venice to live in a roughly renovated stable in Tuscany. Once again, it was love at first sight. Love for the timeless countryside and the ancient village of San Casciano dei Bagni, for the local vintage and the magnificent cooking, for the Tuscan sky and the friendly church bells. Love especially for old Barlozzo, the village mago, who escorts the newcomers to Tuscany’s seasonal festivals; gives them roasted country bread drizzled with just-pressed olive oil; invites them to gather chestnuts, harvest grapes, hunt truffles; and teaches them to caress the simple pleasures of each precious day. It’s Barlozzo who guides them across the minefields of village history and into the warm and fiercely beating heart of love itself. A Thousand Days in Tuscany is set in one of the most beautiful places on earth–and tucked into its fragrant corners are luscious recipes (including one for the only true bruschetta) directly from the author’s private collection.
