Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 269 pages. 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 lette r to Italy written in precise and passionate language of near-poe tic density.?? Newsday In Tuscany celebrates the abundant pleas ures of life in Italy as it is lived at home, at festivals, feast s, restaurants and markets, in the kitchen and on the piazza, in the vineyards, fields, and olive groves. Combining essays by Fra nces Mayes and a chapter by her husband, poet Edward Mayes, with more than 200 full-color photos by photographer Bob Krist, each o f this book's five sections highlights a signature aspect of Tusc an La Piazza : the locus of Italian village life. With photogra phs of the shop signs, the outdoor markets, medieval streets, peo ple, their pets and their cars, and snippets of conversations ove rheard, Mayes reveals the life of the Piazza in her town of Corto na as well as out-of-the-way places such as Volterra, Asciano, Mo nte San Savino, and Castelmuzio. La Festa : the celebration. Ess ays and photos of feasts and celebrations, such as the Christmas dinner for twenty-seven at a neighbor's house and a donkey race a round the church at Montepulciano Stazione, illustrate how the Tu scans 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 o f the shift of seasons as he picks olives before he and Frances h ead off to the olive oil mill and enjoy the first bruscette with new oil. La Cucina : the kitchen. An intimate view of the all-im portant role of the kitchen in Tuscan culture, including photogra phs of her own kitchen and gardens, menus from great local cooks, the elements of the Tuscan table, dishes with cultural and culin ary notes on each, and, of course, delectable recipes. La Bellez za : the beauty. From the quality of the light falling on sublime landscapes in different seasons and Tuscan faces in moments of l aughter to a silhouette of cypress trees in the early evening and a wild bird perched on a neigbor's head, In Tuscany features vie ws of beauty that reveal the singular splendor of one of the worl d's best-loved and most artistic regions.
