The Field Stones of Umbria

Viac o knihe

We had a once-in-a-lifetime chance to do something crazy, so...We decided to sell everything in California, leave behind Silicon Valley and the University of California and move overseas to a small, isolated valley where time seems to stand still. We bought and reconstructed a ruined farmhouse, but rebuilding a farmhouse is only a small part of the bigger picture. The real stories are about Italy - the land, the seasons, the storms, the food and wine, the history, culture and art, the festivals and traditions, the field stones, and above all, the people. Join one couple on their amazing journey to a new land as they learn that the small moments in life can change you forever.
