Book Overview

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...

fun and informative

A very enjoyable read that informs and entertains. It feels as if our upcoming trip to Tuscany has already begun.

Bravo, Dario!!

I dearly loved this book. I vacationed in Vagliagli, the tiny Italian hamlet and recognized the sites and people the author talks about. When he describes the sights and sounds (the rooster, hunting dogs barking) upon waking, I find myself back at our villa down the way from Cignano. Everyone who appreciates the solitude and the true Italy needs to read this book. Thank you for sharing, Dario. I am a fan of your books.

Tuscany Brought to Life

When I finished reading Castagno's book, A Day in Tuscany, I felt like I had visited the Tuscany region. His ability with Robert Rodi, to bring in interesting and humorous history mixed with sorrow gave me a greater portrait of a portion of Italy I was not familiar with. The people he wrote about came to life and I loved their mannerisms and the way they approached life with each being a delightful individual. You do not have to go to Italy to appreciate this glimpse into life in Tuscany. Bettye Johnson, award-winning author, Secrets of the Magdalene Scrolls.

A Wonderful Book!

Dario Castagno is a wonderful story teller, and his gift for painting beautiful pictures with his words really comes out in this book. I laughed, I cried, and I enjoyed every page of this book. Whether you've ever been to Italy or not, you will love this book! I also loved his first book - "Too Much Tuscan Sun" - a delightful and funny read.

Vacation in a book

I feel like I have visited Tuscany during my reading of this book. This second of his books is a wonderful appreciation of one's own world. Dario has the ability to see and hear the beauty and history and translate that to words. We should all open our eyes and ears a little more and take a moment to really feel our lives. I hope that I can. If you don't have time for a vacation this year, just read this book.
