<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>What does it mean to be Italian?</b> <p/>Is it pausing to enjoy an <i>aperitivo</i> or <i>gelato</i>? A <i>passeggiata</i> down a laneway steeped in history? An August spent tanning at the beach? <p/>This book is a celebration of the Italian lifestyle - an education in drinking to savour the moment, travelling indulgently, and cherishing food and culture. A lesson in the <i>dolce far niente</i> the sweetness of doing nothing. We may not all live in the <i>bel paese</i>, but anyone can learn from the rich tapestry of life on the boot. <p/>From the innovation of Italian fashion and design, the Golden Age of its cinema to the Roman Empire's cultural echoes (and some very good <i>espresso</i>), take a dip into the Italian psyche and learn to eat, love, dress, think, and have fun as only the Italians can.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Maria Pasquale</b> was born in Melbourne to Italian parents and has been based in Rome since 2011.
