Editor's Note:
15 very short stories about authentic experiences in the unknown Oltrepò Pavese wine region, 50 km south of Milan.The Oltrepo Pavese is the largest wine producing area of Lombardy in the North of Italy, but is also virtually unknown abroad. This is a pity as the landscape is beautiful, the people are kind, the food is authentic and there are lots of possibilities for walking, hiking, cycling and sight-seeing. The smooth hills are covered with vineyards, castles and medieval villages and this landscape reminds one of Tuscany. Pace of life is slow, food is traditional and wine can be tasted anywhere, in one of the over 100 independent cantines.The short sketches presented here give you a first impression on life in this unspoiled region of Italy.

Indulge in the ultimate literary experience. We've refined the way you discover and access 15 Original Italian Experiences: Funny stories by a Dutch expat living la dolce vita by Stef Smulders. Crafted for the discerning reader.

Experience across all your premium devices with our high-fidelity digital format. Featuring cinematic typography, fluid layouts, and flawless rendering for an unparalleled reading session.
