About the Book


Product Description
As Italy remains out of reach for so many, this short series of reflections from inside the lock-down, provides a thoughtful reminder of the beauty, charm and wonder at the heart of Italian life, even in the most extraordinary times.

From an emotional overnight drive over a snow-filled mountain pass, to a gentle paddle down Verona's meandering river, this series of diary entries charts day-to-day life as the Coronavirus pandemic brought Italy to an unprecedented standstill.

Reviews
This might only be a short book but it's absolutely worth reading - being based in the UK but with a love for Italy (like many other people), I was interested to find out the Italian perspective on the early days of lockdown. Thanks to each of these chapters and Rick's warm and engaging writing style, the book offers a slice of life of confinement in Verona but with an invariably optimistic and hopeful tone. Definitely recommended. *****

A wonderful read. After following daily tweets from the author during lockdown (& feeling upbeat from them) I had to give this a read. It didn't disappoint and provides a lovely insight to life from the confinement of Verona. An excellent, short read. *****

What a gem of a book to come out of these strange times! This is a wonderful record of lockdown family life in Italy. I loved Richard's warm, honest, witty and vivid insights. His passion for Italian life, culture and history is woven throughout and adds a real richness to his story. Having said that, the beauty of this book for me is the honesty in which Richard records family life. I also loved that I could relate to many of the experiences described in this book - and in that sense for me it felt as cathartic as it is informative. And throughout it all is a tangeible sense of joy and hope - a much needed balm in times like these! *****
