Seasons in Basilicata, A Year in a Southern Italian Hill Village

Seasons in Basilicata, A Year in a Southern Italian Hill Village

by David Yeadon

  • TRAVEL NARRATIVE
  • 2005
  • PAPER
  • 480 PAGES

Inspired by Carlo Levi's account of a year in Aliano (under house arrest by Mussolini), Yeadon and his wife Anne rent an apartment overlooking the village square. Seasons in Basilicata is an altogether different book than its predecessor, an entertaining account of the good life characterized by fine food, drink and company. Life has improved dramatically in rural Southern Italy since 1935.  (ITL585, $14.95)
