Travels with George: A Memoir Through the Italy of My Childhood

In her travels with her young son, George, Olga Vannucci strolls and hikes through the landscapes of her Italian childhood, in five separate trips, visiting cherished people and places and describing them with joy and amusement. The writing is warm and refreshing, and the experiences vivid and touching -- you will want to come along.

The author, born in Italy and living in New Jersey, looks at Italy as both a local native and an awed visitor.
