They lived in Rome and almost immediately became hopeless Italophiles. \u003ci\u003eThe Vinegar of Spilamberto\u003c\/i\u003e is the enchanting story of their experiences. The couple returned often, staying in various apartments--a house in Venice, a medieval tower in Tuscany, and a villa on the Appia Antica with its own catacombs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom such small places as Populonia and Rovescala to bigger ones like Riace and Dozza, the family immersed themselves in the Italy off the typical tourist tracks. Muscatine describes the extreme cultural differences everywhere, but most notable in Sicily, and delights in various foods--including \u003ci\u003eIl Ranocchio, dall'antipasto al dolce \u003c\/i\u003e(The Frog, from antipasto to dessert)--and the wines that went with them. Chapters are devoted to the Italian appreciation of slow food and of special products such as truffles and balsamic vinegar.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Counterpoint","offers":[{"title":"Vinegar of Spilamberto: And Other Italian Adventures with Food, Places and People | Doris Muscatine | Paperback | 9781593761523 | Used: Like New | Travelogues 1558275","offer_id":48368825630872,"sku":"1558275","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61e2yyDA6YL.jpg?v=1773264020","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/vinegar-of-spilamberto-and-other-italian-adventures-with-food-places-and-people","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
