Museo Italian Students Audrey (The Traveler) and David Fielding (The Sketcher) collaborate with three Salentinians: Luciana (The Raconteur), Carlo (The Music Maker), and Lucia (The Cook) to write and illustrate a unique travel memoir.
After more than ten years of travel to Salento in southern Puglia, the five authors’ book on the region has been published. The region comes alive with this delightful collection of stories, essays and drawings. Why have Audrey and David returned to the same coastal town and region year after year? How did they arrive in the first place? Who are Luciana, Carlo, and Lucia? How did they all arrive at writing a book together?
Learn about the charm and beauty of an area of Puglia often bypassed by American tourists. Read Luciana’s stories of her family’s land, Carlo’s history of the local music, and Lucia’s memories of learning how to cook. Come see the photos and drawings of the area and listen to the local “pizzica” music and taste Salento wines.
The book and notecards are now on sale at the Museo bookstore. Buy your copy in advance and bring your questions and comments to the presentation.
