Italian, It’s All Greek to Me: Everything You Don’t Know About Italian Language and Culture

In this insightful and entertaining book, Linda Falcone takes us on a leisurely twirl through the Italian culture straight to the heart of Italian expression with all its stinging wit and generous humor. Full of pathos and insight, her book reveals a country where beauty is nourishment, food is art, football is patriotism and politics is hung out to dry. In a nation where the word prego is the multipurpose solution to every linguistic need and people like to talk but don't necessarily appreciate it when others listen, this book is an indispensable companion.
