The Hills of Tuscany: A New Life in an Old Land (Augustana Historical Society Publication)

“Titanic in potential appeal . . . the Mátés do something rare; they go native.”―Washington Post This hilarious, international bestseller is a true-life adventure of a New York City couple moving to Tuscany.

Ferenc Máté’s enthusiastic prose is infectious. He brings to life the real Tuscany: the contadini neighbors, country life―the harvest, grape, and olive picking, wine making, mushroom hunting, woodcutting―the holidays, and of course the never-ending, mouthwatering meals. 13 color illustrations
