A Small Place in Italy [Idioma Inglés]

The distinguished travel writer Eric Newby became acquainted with the landscape and the people of northern Italy when on the run from a prison camp in 1943. He and his wife dreamed of buying a house in the region, but it was not until 1967 that the opportunity to fulfil their dream presented itself. 'A Small Place In Italy' is an engaging account of the joys and frustrations of the purchase and renovation of a farmhouse, 'I Castagni' ('The Chestnuts'), and of how the Newby's gradually became part of the local community and its distinctive way of life.
