An American Family In Italy – Book Review

When we come across a great book we like to advise our readers.  An American Family In Italy ( Living la dolce vita without permission ) is an easy read and a fun story of Paul and his family’s relocation to Italy for 1 year.  Paul explains the difficulties of uprooting two teenage daughters from Washington State to Italy, finding a job, and coping with language barriers and cultural differences.

Paul gives us insight into navigating the rail system, Italian Bureaucracy ( and sometimes the lack of it ), waiting on lines, and of course and most important FOOD!

Paul contacted me about an article that he was writing about DNA, which is how I learned abut An American Family in Italy.  To learn more about Paul an Living In Tuscany, you can see Paul’s RSS feed in the margin.  To learn more about Italian DNA Search this site, or join our Facebook Group.

What others are saying:

“Anyone who has Italy in their blood, either literally of figuratively should read this adventure.  It will take you vicariously until you have time to come in person.” -Elena Benvenuti , private tour guide.

“Journalist Paul Spadoni’s An American Family in Italy has the vitality, humor and need-to-know details of jumping off the deep end and follow your dreams—a sparkling adventure done well.” Judy Ferguson, Voice of Alaska Press
