Maremma Mia�is a warm, witty chronicle of one family's adventure transforming an old farmhouse and olive grove in remote Tuscany into a home. Set in the Maremma - "the new Chianti" - the story unfolds through the seasons, capturing both the beauty and unpredictability of life abroad. From the nearby medieval town of Suvereto to the wild hills, fertile valley and coastline steeped in Etruscan mystery, the book weaves together the region's landscape, food, wines, flora, fauna and traditions with vivid portraits of its people. Along the way, it explores the Maremma's extraordinary history - from imperial assassinations and Napoleonic upheaval to partisan defiance in World War II. Both an evocative travel memoir and a love letter to an unspoilt corner of Italy,�Maremma Mia�is for anyone who's ever dreamed of making a vision come true.
