A Zany Slice of Tuscany: La Bella Figura and Other Italian

A Zany Slice of Tuscany: La Bella Figura and Other Italian Concepts That Elude Me

New York Times best-selling author wannabe Ivanka Di Felice offers us a selection of hilarious adventures in her beloved Tuscany.

The tenacity with which Mrs. Di Felice chases her dream is remarkable. She yearns for the glamorous life of Italy in pictures; meanwhile, sheâ€™s the poster child for â€œforty is the new sixty.â€ She dreams of fine restaurants and scintillating conversations, yet finds herself among a cast of Seinfeld-like characters. And while the rest of Italy lives it, the Slow Movement eludes herâ€”ironically, when spending time with relatives in their eighties.

The authorâ€™s mother once said, â€œPerhaps you are not living your dream but rather the one that mischievous bella Italia had up her sleeve for youâ€”a dream that demands a full range of emotions daily.â€ Knowing how happy Ivanka and her husband are, despite life not always delivering what they wanted, her mother wisely added, â€œThis shows that our dreams are not always the best for us.â€

A Zany Slice of Tuscany not only gives us an insiderâ€™s look at the many beautiful moments of living abroad, but also transports us into a rarely seen Italia. Funny stories are recounted with wit and affection and donâ€™t leave you feeling negative, but instead as if youâ€™ve finally lived . . . in Italy.

This book can be read as a stand-alone, or feel free to tag along for more laugh-out-loud adventures in Italy by reading Ivankaâ€™s first book, A Zany Slice of Italy.

The fun never stops. Hence, Ivanka Di Felice will soon be releasing Zany Renovations in Tuscany. To be followed by A Zany Decade in Italy, a ten-year anniversary edition celebrating the best of times, while keeping a sense of humour about the zaniest of times in a decade of living in Italy.

Ivanka Di Felice has also co-written My Zany Life, where she describes her memories of growing up in her familyâ€™s rooming house in a swanky neighborhood, surrounded by a cast of eccentric characters.

Many people think itâ€™s tragic to grow up in a poor neighborhood, but the author assures us it is equally tragic growing up in a rich neighborhood, when you are poor.

Together, a mother and a daughter gather their memories of a life full of happiness, sadness, and many hilarious moments, proving that hindsight not only is 20/20, but can also turn calamity into comedy.

My Zany Life will make you laugh, will make you cry, and will teach you that despite the sadness we all must face, the overall result can be a happy life.
