Coffee, Chianti and Caravaggio by Robert Noble Graham
A masterwork of Italian rambling. Those who have rambled with Robert through Cuba and Spain already know what to expect, but Italy is more so. Robert rambles through great sites of Rome and Venice of course, but finding a special meal on the exclusive beach of Portofino or listening to woodworm digest a bed in the Chianti hills take a special mastery. Whilst getting lost on the tourist road from Bologna or crossing to Capri with a Mafia Don Robert rambles through history, language and gastronomy as readily as the back streets of Naples for delight, colour and discovery. Who did Caravaggio kill and who killed him? What did Tiberius get up to in Villa Jovis? Why are car crashes in Naples more democratic than anywhere else? How can one man who so easily loses himself when travelling be so good at finding unique, memorable companions? Sometimes alone, sometimes in company, Robert's tales give you more colour, romance and knowledge of Italy than many an expensive visit will provide. Whether you wish to laugh, marvel or learn this book will meet the need.| SKU | Unavailable |
