Isabella Dusi. Bel Vino: A Year of Sundrenched Pleasure Among the Vines of Tuscany
personal narrative

This book is by an Australian woman who moved to a Tuscan village with her husband. It is an interesting history and sociological analysis of life in a "typical" rural Italian village (a form of existence that is slowly melting away, as she describes). Frequently a description of the lovely Tuscan countryside in four seasons is woven into this theme. As the title suggests, she also talks a lot about the local food and wine of the region--where it comes from and how it is made. This is a good book to read if you are going to the Italian countryside, or if you love Italian food, or both.  ~ E. Howell
