Too Much Tuscan Sun?
I read about a book on the Chicago Tribune called Too Much Tuscan Sun where can I find it?

?????
|
Ummm . . . there's a book called "Under the Tuscan Sun" by Frances Mayes. Could this be the book you're thinking of? <BR><BR>If not, try Amazon.com. I hear they have a lot of books on that site. ;0)<BR><BR>Jennie
|
Isn't that the name of the book that Dario (a tour guide in Tuscany) wrote? Dario fans, can you help this person find the book?
|
THe book isn't out yet in the book stores but can be ordered directly from Dario I think he has a sort of 'special edition' that you can order directly from him
|
Yes, That is Dario's book which is not out yet---I cannot wait. I have ordered one of his special edition copies thru his site. Meanwhile, if you love Tuscany, get " Vanilla Beans & Brodo" by Isabella Dusi thru amazon.com.
|
I met Dario (thanks to Fodors) and he read a chapter when we were having lunch under a maple tree overlooking the most beautiful valley in Tuscany. It was hilarious, you can order the book if you contact Dario at [email protected] . Specify that you are friends of Sue that Dario took out 2 weeks ago
|
Did Dario write his book in English, or in Italian and then have it translated for an English version?
|
Dario speaks perfect english--I think he grew up in the UK. However, I think he may have a partner on the book.
|
Another Dario fan here! The book is in English, yes Dario speaks fluent English<BR>I think it was written together with an American author
|
I think the other author is called Robert Rodi from Chicago which explains why you read about it on the Chicago news. I have ordered the book through Dario directly
|
Dear Sue,<BR>I hope Dario's girlfriend is not the jealous (or revengeful) type!
|
I mean Dario took me and my husband out on one of his tours. We even met his girlfriend (wife?) later on during the day,and she is really quite beautiful
|
So,whats all this about? who is Dario, an author ? a guide? what is this book about?
|
You know what I'm going to order it, I have read so many posts about him on this site that the guy intrigues me. Anyone else?<BR>I have read Under the Tuscan Sun and a book called Too Much Tuscan Sun sounds pretty curious
|
I ordered it! if you contact Dario at [email protected] he will reply directly, can't wait to read it!
|
Are we talking about the same Dario that often answers threads on this site? I have read an article about him on the Toledo Blade, they really give him full marks, I did'nt realize though that he had written a book, at least it wasn't mentioned on the article
|
I am one of the lucky who have read the entire book. He loaned me a final draft and I sat down the next afternoon to read it, knowing that I would never finish it before he needed it back the following day since I have two toddlers who keep me quite busy. Well it was so good that I never put it down. Finished the whole book (the first I have read cover to cover since my oldest was born)in record time. I laughed throughout and got teary eyed at the end. It is well written and a wonderful insight into us Americans.
|
I also met Dario on a tour of Chianti, my opinion is that he is simply adorable, he read us a chapter and I was just crying with laughter the whole time. I really hope that it makes the book stores in the US, in the meantime I am on his list for an autographed copy!
|
Another lucky one that read the book, I was touring with Dario for 3 days so he left me the original manuscript to read in the evenings, I was so stunned that an Italian can write like an English novel-pro writer. I think we have an upcoming best seller. You may think that I am crazy but I orderd 10 copies to give as gifts. Hurray for Dario
