About this listen
Best-selling and beloved author Frances Mayes discovers the hidden pleasures of Italy in a sumptuous travel narrative that crisscrosses the country.
The Roman Forum, the Leaning Tower, the Piazza San Marco: these are the sights synonymous with Italy. But such landmarks only scratch the surface of this magical country's offerings. In See You in the Piazza, Frances Mayes introduces us to the Italy only the locals know, as she and her husband, Ed, eat and drink their way through all 20 regions - from Friuli to Sicily. Along the way, she seeks out the cultural and historic gems not found in traditional guidebooks.
Frances conjures the enchantment of the backstreets, the hubbub of the markets, the dreamlike wonder of that space between lunch and dinner when a city cracks open to those who would wander or when a mind is drawn into a delicious book - and discloses to us the secrets that only someone who is on intimate terms with a place could find.

A wonderful taster of Italy
Generously shared descriptions of places not usually the haunt of tourists. This is my kind of travel! I appreciated the correct pronunciation of places, dishes, wines etc. This makes a wonderful precursor to a planned and future planning of trips to Italy. Inspirational!

I was really looking forward to this
Overall I found this disappointing. This was not my style of travel. Over the top on wine and food and more wine. Italy is 1000’s of years of history and culture. This book seems to showcase what wealth and being a “celebrity” can buy for you.
I couldn’t find much inspiration for my budget family travels other then using agriturismo.
The story was choppy and I found it difficult to follow. Perhaps in written form I’d have a better chance of understanding.
The overall listening was pleasant. Clear and easy to understand. Thumbs up for proper Italian pronunciations.
