Category:  Humor
Type: Non-Fiction


Wicked, very non-PC and full of sweeping generalizations but, if you have an interest in Italy and Italians, it's bound to make you laugh.

Are you heading to Italy for your holidays? Planning to buy a house there? However long you stay you'll be better prepared if you read this highly irreverent booklet.Why is Italy full of old contes? Why do you need half a day to draw cash on your credit card? Why do Audis travel in pairs? Why should you be afraid of old men in trilbys, especially when they are behind the wheel of a Fiat Panda? Is every fat man called Pavarotti? What is Italian customer service? Why aren't cappuccinos hot? Why do the lights go off when you iron? What is meant by 'could be' ? All these mysteries and more are explained by confessed Italiophile Steve Emmett. He even throws in a traditional recipe for ragu which alone has to be worth more than the cover price.

Steve Emmett sold Italian country homes for almost twenty-five years and lived there for a decade. He is now an acclaimed horror writer who has combined his writing skills with a deep knowledge of Italy and an acid wit to create this highly amusing and informative booklet. It's wicked, very non-PC and full of sweeping generalizations but, if you have an interest in Italy and Italians, it's bound to make you laugh.

Circa 11,200 words.
