About this book
Three companions meet in Genoa one hot July day, drawn to Italy's hills by old buildings, sunlight and the hope of happiness. Olave M. Potter records their travels through towns where churches, gardens and distant mountains share the view. The opening arrival at Arezzo moves from the heat of railway travel into steep streets, shaded squares and flowers spilling over walls. Umbria becomes the focus of an account attentive to rural work, religious devotion and the pleasures of ordinary days.
At Gubbio, memories of a lamplighter and quiet streets lead to a stay in a former convent, meals beneath vines and an account of the ancient bronze tablets kept in the town's museum. Personal impressions sit alongside local stories and historical observations.
