This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Romance of the Italian Villas (Northern Italy) Are these stories true?" Yes, true as brain and heart can make them. I have not, like Froude "attempted in cold blood to impart verisimilitude to otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative." Earnestly and without regard to the labour involved I have sought the essential truth. Returning from rambles in northern Italy, where I have been a guest, as at Villa Giusti, in Edens whose Eves have been long forgotten by their own descendants I have sought until their faces were revealed in a darkening canvas on the wall of some old palace and their lives as by flash-light by poets such as Dante, Bonifazio, or Cino.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Florence Some Tuscan Cities To presume to contribute, however modest an addition, to the immense wealth of literature devoted to Florence, her history, and her art, from the days of Villani and of Muratori down to the present time, appears indeed to be beyond the powers of an inexperienced pen. In undertaking these slight descriptions, my aim has been a simple one - to write an accompaniment, if such a term is applicable to letters, to the sketches with which this book is illustrated, and to touch superficially only, such debatable subjects as Tuscan architecture, painting, and sculpture.

Book excerpt: For centuries Florence has been celebrated for her villa-clad hills. According to an old chronicler, the country houses were more splendid than those in the town, and stood so close-set among theirolive-orchards and vineyards that the traveller "thought himself in Florence three leagues beforereaching the city."Many of these houses still survive, strongly planted on their broad terraces, from the fifteenthcentury farmhouse-villa, with its projecting eaves and square tower, to the many-windowed maison deplaisance in which the luxurious nobles of the seventeenth century spent the gambling and chocolatedrinking weeks of the vintage season. It is characteristic of Florentine thrift and conservatism thatthe greater number of these later and more pretentious villas are merely additions to the plain oldbuildings, while, even in the rare cases where the whole structure is new, the baroque exuberancewhich became fashionable in the seventeenth century is tempered by a restraint and severitypeculiarly Tuscan

Download or read book Bella Tuscany written by Frances Mayes and published by Crown. This book was released on 2003-08-05 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frances Mayes, whose enchanting #1 New York Times bestseller Under the Tuscan Sun made the world fall in love with Tuscany, invites readers back for a delightful new season of friendship, festivity, and food, there and throughout Italy. Having spent her summers in Tuscany for the past several years, Frances Mayes relished the opportunity to experience the pleasures of primavera, an Italian spring. A sabbatical from teaching in San Francisco allowed her to return to Cortona—and her beloved house, Bramasole—just as the first green appeared on the rocky hillsides. Bella Tuscany, a companion volume to Under the Tuscan Sun, is her passionate and lyrical account of her continuing love affair with Italy. Now truly at home there, Mayes writes of her deepening connection to the land, her flourishing friendships with local people, the joys of art, food, and wine, and the rewards and occasional heartbreaks of her villa's ongoing restoration. It is also a memoir of a season of change, and of renewed possibility. As spring becomes summer she revives Bramasole's lush gardens, meets the challenges of learning a new language, tours regions from Sicily to the Veneto, and faces transitions in her family life. Filled with recipes from her Tuscan kitchen and written in the sensuous and evocative prose that has become her hallmark, Bella Tuscany is a celebration of the sweet life in Italy. Now with an excerpt from Frances Mayes's latest southern memoir, Under Magnolia.
