La Bella Figura, A Field Guide to the Italian Mind
• Beppe Severgnini
CULTURAL PORTRAIT •
2007 •
PAPER
• 288 PAGES
• BEST SELLER
Hugely popular in Italy, this witty guide to the Italian character addresses the apparently never-ending Italian passion for beauty, disorder and high emotion. An Italian journalist, Severgnini opens with a snapshot of the hubbub at Malpensa Airport, taking the unwary reader firmly by the hand on a journey to Milan,Tuscany, Rome, Naples and Sardinia. He hilariously points out Italian rituals and quirks from the highway to hotels, bedrooms, restaurants, the office and beach.
