A Guide to Life on the Mediterranean

In this zany and educational look at Italy from a lived perspective, Dispatches from the Piazza from Daniella Pergament, all the most important aspects of living or visiting Italy are covered with style and naturally pizazz, as one would expect from a person who lives, breathes and enjoys Italy at every opportunity.

Anyone who has ever visited Italy will well know, that when in Italy it is best to do as the Italians do, so with this excellent guide to what to do and how to do and why to do you simply can’t out a stiletto wrong.

From dress sense, to make-up, the correct wine to drink and the best way to walk on the cobbles without wrecking an ankle, Danielle Pergament sets out to entice you to check out the sun and fun drenched streets and terraces of Italy, no matter whether it is Rome or a small village in the fabulous hills of Florence.

Quirky Illustration from Mokshini, capture the essence of the people, the culture and the ever-present vibe of life lived well, with food, wine, socializing, family and fashion being considered as paramount.

In a country where nothing happens in a rush, other than the fast trains, the slower pace of life would appear to be responsible for the ageless, timelessness of the culture that embraces and yet somehow manages to captivate forever whether you are a visitor, plan to live there or are simply passing through.

So, if you find yourself scrolling through the Travel sections and Blogs for anywhere in Italy, grab a copy of Dispatches from the Piazza, book your ticket and get set for an adventure you will always remember. You simply can’t go wrong!

Italy just happens to be one of my very favourite places to visit and never disappoints!
