Description
Peter Moore's warmly comic, occasionally disastrous, and completely irresistible account of his journey across Italy on an aging Vespa—with a route determined by locations associated with the great Italian films of the postwar era—is one of the most entertainingly honest and most culturally astute travel memoirs to emerge from Italy in recent years. Written with the self-deprecating humor and the genuine love for Italian culture that make every misadventure feel like a gift, this is travel memoir for every person who has ever loved Italy, Italian cinema, or the specific pleasure of things going amusingly wrong abroad. An essential and delightful read.
