How to Be Italian: Eat, drink, dress, travel and love La Dolce Vita

`Italian` is as evocative a word as any, but what does it really mean? The answer is a lifestyle that many envy, from one of the world`s most beloved countries – aperitifs and the art of drinking coffee. Feast days and a quiet August. Cities steeped in history, where the past is always present and countless style and fashion icons reside. In a country where wine is produced in every region, food is deeply entrenched in tradition, and some of the world`s greatest artists, composers, and thinkers have lived, passion is everywhere and la dolce vita thrives.This book is a celebration of what it means to be from Italy – an education in drinking to savour the moment, travelling indulgently, and dolce far niente – the sweetness of doing nothing. From the innovation of Italian fashion and design, the golden age of its cinema, the Roman Empire`s cultural echoes, and some very good espresso, take a dip into the Italian psyche and learn to eat, love, dress, think and have fun as only Italia can.
