#1 Bestseller on how to be happy the Tuscan way
What if you could laugh, and cry from laughing? What if you could love and be swept away by passion? In this book, you will be invited to enter the authentic home of a Tuscan, in the heart of Tuscany and sit at the table with Grandma, who is unwilling to compromise in her kitchen, along with the rest of her amusing family.
You will learn what Tuscan people mean when they speak of "penguins" or "porcupines," making Nutella from scratch with the Indians, selling an old rusty Fiat to the Pope, and how the Italians were invented on the spot, because of a quid pro quo on the sixth day of God's Creation.
But more importantly, you will have sudden bouts of laughter, whether alone in the car or in the middle of a work meeting, thinking about what you had read in this book the night before, falling happily asleep.
Epic, funny, and moving, The Tuscan Who Sold His Fiat to the Pope will make you laugh enthusiastically, and infuse you with Italian passion that will stay with you forever.
Spread the joy!

Review:

Charming and very entertaining, nostalgic and melancholic, joyful and very heartfelt . . . this book SO made me miss all of those Italian-born Italians in my family whose richness of spirit can never really be fully described.
