Bread and Tomatoes: Ischia: Magic and Enchantment through the Memories of Peppino De Siano - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Memories of life on the Italian island of Ischia from rural obscurity post-WWII to its rise as a glamorous spa resort for the international "jet-set" in the 1960s, as told by Peppino De Siano. These stories are precious material for those families with roots to the island, or any part of Southern Italy in that era, or anyone interested in Italian culture. Beautifully told, these memories describe life and traditions that will be familiar to emigrants throughout the world and evoke a simpler time where seasons were based on the "Saint's Day" or the wine grape harvest. Published in Italian in 2022 as "Pane e Pomodoro", this book is already popular throughout Italy and is now available in English for the first time. Mr. De Siano is descended from one of the oldest families on the island and played a critical role in the island's transformation. He still resides on the "Beautiful Island".
