�ber die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Brought up in England, Martin Solly first became enamoured of Italy as a student, staying with his amici in a superb farmhouse complete with swimming pool. The red-earthed landscapes of Tuscany, Renaissance culture, Chianti and mouthwatering tortellini and zucchini convinced him that the Italians enjoyed the ultimate in sybaritic living.

After working on farms, and in bars, restaurants, bookstores and schools, he settled in Piedmont with the intention of improving his knowledge of things Italian.

He little realised this would include a beautiful Piedmontese girl, and ignoring the old Italian saying Moglie e buoi dei paesi tuoi (�Choose your wife and your cattle from your own back-yard�) he married her. They now live happily with their two Anglo-Italian daughters in Turin.

The author of a dozen books on English language and literature, Martin Solly teaches at Turin University, refusing even in the coldest weather to wear a vest. He does however, drive an Alfa-Romeo.
