Synopsis

Riding the back roads, visiting small towns, sleeping in haylofts, Moore shows us an Italy rarely seen--from picnicking in the Italian Alps to rattling through cobbled hilltop towns to gate-crashing France Mayes's villa. When Moore's girlfriend, Sally, joins him for two weeks on the road, his fantasy is complete, summer in Italy on a Vespa with too much chrome and a pretty girl riding on the back.

About this title

Review:

"'Its punning title sets the tone for this off-beat travel book...touched by romance and haunted by the glamour of Sophia Loren, it's a larky, laddish tale of roadside picnics, bad behaviour and attempting to re-enact 'Roman Holiday''" (YOU magazine)

"'Moore has the parched dry wit, the solid brass cojones of a true traveller and rare eye for the madness of the wider world'" (JOHN BIRMINGHAM)

"'Moore is the genuine article, a traveller's traveller...inspirational stuff'" (FHM magazine)

"'Haunted by the glamour of Sophia Loren, it's a larky, laddish tale'" (MAIL ON SUNDAY)

"'Peter Moore...the Jim Carrey of travel writing, has tapped out another racy travelogue'" (SUNDAY HERALD)

Book Description:

Peter Moore turns 40 and goes in search of Italy's celebrated dolce vita in the company of a 1960s Vespa.
