Editorial Reviews:
A charming, heartfelt, and often humorous insider’s view of the Tuscan people, culture, and landscape. Readers who enjoyed Too Much Tuscan Sun will welcome this second book, which includes even more episodes from the author’s life growing up as a Chiantigiano.

Summary: A disappointment
Comment: This was a sad disappointment. I have read much of the genre, and found this one drab and boring. And I was visiting the very area of which the author writes as I read it! Still it was slow moving, sentimental, and self-indulgent. There are many other fine books in the same vein that are interesting, engaging and informative; this was a dull slog.

Summary: Dario's Diary
Comment: If you read Dario Castagno's first book, Too Much Tuscan Sun, this one may come as a surprise. It's a fanciful but thoughtful "day in the life" as compared to his previous tour guide stories, which were funny but occasionally very unflattering regarding some of his clients. This time we see another side of life in the Chianti countryside, with endearing tales both old and new, of the inhabitants. A lovely bit of writing and remembrances by this proud member of the Bruco contrada.
