Über diesen Titel
An invasion of mysterious bugs, the discovery of hundreds of skeletons in the backyard and occasional visitations from a ghost who smoked Marlboro Lights weren't what I had in mind when I dreamed of owning a home in Tuscany. My search for a quaint country house in move-in condition near Florence instead led to the purchase of an abandoned church we fondly referred to as "The Italian Money Pit", and the project took several years to complete.
The New York Times notable author, Dario Castagno, describes Altared: A Tale of Renovating a Medieval Church in Tuscany as "a heartfelt chronicle of an unforeseen connection to a crumbling church and apartment. It's a tongue-in-cheek collection of some of the zaniest local characters - their tics, attitudes, ways, and weaknesses." The church's before and after story entitled "A Classical Epiphany" appeared in an eight-page spread in the March 2010 issue of Architectural Digest. This light-hearted memoir will transport you to Tuscany and proves the challenges were worth the end results. "Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations."
