A Novel





As seen in the New York Times Book Review. 



Set in the passionate, intense, and crumbling neighborhood known as the Spanish Quarter of Naples, comes a tale of two students searching for love and belonging in the city they so desperately want to call home.



Years after leaving Naples with a broken heart, Heddi receives an email from her first love. Although she now lives in New Zealand, just the thought of the Spanish Quarter's narrow, winding streets sparks the pain of longing. Heddi had found her place in that city built on Roman ruins and set against a sleeping volcano. A place she wants to call home despite being l'americana or the American. For Heddi's group of university friends, Naples is either a refuge from their familial responsibilities or an entryway to a wider world. But for all of them, Naples was their real university of life: the setting of their unrestrained youth.

When Heddi first met Pietro at a party hosted by her bohemian roommates, she was inexplicably drawn to the serious geology student. Despite coming from wildly different backgrounds--Heddi, a nomadic American; Pietro, an Italian farm boy--the two fell into a liberating romance. She was searching for the roots she never had, while he tried to escape his. Yet even after the two were doomed to part ways, their story isn't finished just yet.

Inspired by her own 10-year search for belonging in Naples, author Heddi Goodrich gives readers a passionate tale of a life caught between two worlds and a heartfelt ode to first love--of a place, of a person-- where languages and cultures collide while dreams soar and crash in unexpected ways.

Capri is one of the world's chicest destinations: the European pleasure island. It is a place where well-tanned Italians share the island's beauty with celebrities and emphatic island lovers: from limoncello, the native digestivo, to its eponymous Capri gants, to the Bright turquoise jewelry and bejeweled sandals made famous by its glamorous denizens. In a tribute to the isle adored by literary icons and the jet set alike, author Pamela Fiori describes, through resonant texts and vibrant images, the effortless charm of this island.

Pasta. Pesto. Passion.

"In Friuli-Venezia Giulia, we sample ham from San Daniele and admire the largest frico in the world. In Venice and the Veneto, we are invited to drink a glass of prosecco, while in Trentino-Alto Adige we treat ourselves with a snack of home-cured bacon and the local bread specialty. Lombardy temps us with Milanese salami and pannettone. In Piedmont we get to know the art of making risotto, and in Aosta Valley we find out about a local hard bread and a reviving herb liqueur. Liguria presents us with pesto and the finest olive oil, while Emillia-Romagna provides the products that are emblematic of Italy-Parma ham, Parmesan, and mortadella. In Tuscany we sample fine wine, in Umbria we go fishing on Lake Trasimeno, and in Marche we stroll along the culinary trail laid by the composer, Rossini. In Lazio, which includes the capital city of Rome, we track down papal cuisine and savor classic pasta dishes. In Abruzzi and Molise, brightly-colored confectionery awaits us. Campania snow-white mozzarell cheese, in Apulia blond wheat, and in Basilicata brilliant red chili peppers. after a robust breakfast in Calabria, we admire deceptively real looking marzipan fruits in Sicily and catch langoustines off the Sardinian coast."--BOOK JACKET.

Message inside the front cover - may be from the author - see pics. You will miss much of Italy's fascinating, little-known, hidden treasures unless you enrich your trip with the experience of Joe Reina, the son of Sicilian immigrants, and his encounters with Italy's hidden delights during his decades of business and pleasure trips. Most guidebooks and guides who lead tours provide you bare-bones historical facts, but they seldom can regale their tourists with insider's awareness of stories and events. Reina's travel-earned familiarity with landmarks and the artists who created them offers an insider's grasp of the famous personalities who built and artistically adorned "the glory that was Rome." In Milan, The Last Supper, which took DaVinci three years to paint, is hung with Donato's Crucifixion, initially painted in a church destroyed (except for one wall) by Allied bombers in World War II. The Last Supper is on your right as you enter, and Crucifixion is on your left. In Rome's Piazza Campo de' Fiori, sits Ristorante da Pancrazio, a waiter will lead you down a cellar to the remains of how the entire piazza was built atop the ruins of what was once General Pompey's theater, which could seat forty thousand people. In Rome's Piazza Navona, the seventeenth-century Pope engaged three leading sculptors to create the fountains, the first designed by Bernini, leading sculpture of his era. Bernini became incensed when Borromini was commissioned to build a church directly across from his fountain. In retribution, Bernini had his largest statue of a man lying on his side in the fountain; his hand outstretched directly at Borromini's church. Once both were constructed, Bernini sent his rival this "My statue will catch your church when it falls." Reina's historical information of tourist sites to visit and the best restaurants and hotels that fit any budget is invaluable.
