The Italian Dream: Wine, Heritage, Soul

GELASIO GAETANI D’ARAGONA LOVATELLI; FOREWORD BY LAPO ELKANN

Assouline

His name says it all: Count Gelasio Gaetani d’aragona Lovatelli has, for four years, followed what must have been his birthright and travelled the length and breadth of Italy creating a map of the country’s best wineries and places to eat nearby. Italian businessman Lapo Elkann, the heir to the Fiat fortune, wrote the introduction, and together they take you on a journey with them and their beautiful, bohemian, wine-loving friends, who share their passion for the country’s heritage and bounty. Buy the book and poke your nose behind the private gates of family castles and vineyards, from the foothills of the Alps to the towns of Tuscany and the hot southern beaches, and curse your parents for not raising you Italian.
