The travel information and the food descriptions were an incentive to reach for an Italian travel brochure!

Being of the same background, I enjoyed the daily reports on the great food they were enjoying that made my mouth water after every reading. I'm very familiar with all the dishes including Oreste's mother's dishes which were similiar to my Mom's that I enjoyed. The scenic photographs were wonderful as I had seen some of those when I traveled as a small child with my parents in 1936 & again with my wife a few years ago. I would definitely reccommend this book to anyone & will certainly read it again. I can relate to the book, my parents were also immigrants from Italy as Oreste’s were.

The Youngest Son is so much more than a chronicle of a sabbtical in Italy. It's a snapshot of day to day life as experienced by an Italian American son. Every meal is a mouthwatering experience, causing the reader to yearn for something Italian, quickly. It's history that comes alive as the reader travels with Oreste and Marti "seeing" all they're seeing in churches, statues,and towns. It's also an emotional journey as a professor lives his dream just before announcing his retirement. Kudos to Oreste and Marti for their experience and for the book. I'm still longing for the figs cooked with honey then topped with mascarpone cheese whipped with lemon juice! I want to know when they're going to Italy again so I can go along! This review is right on target!
