Looking for Garibaldi: Travels on Three Continents Stalking an Italian Hero - Paperback

Come along with these bestselling travel authors as they fulfill another Italian dream-to explore the Italian-American experience in Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo, Montevideo, Rome, San Marino, Piedmont, Puglia, Naples, Palermo, Sardinia and Staten Island too. You'll be there for the triumphs and disasters: the tango lessons, the evil eye curse, the concert in an opera house, the nautical Christmas displays, the cherry picking and the falconry show. You'll meet architects, waitstaff, old soldiers, modern economists, museum docents, and travel with the Petralias' old and new friends. And you'll learn a bit about the man who inspired their trip, Giuseppe Garibaldi, the Unifier of Italy and Hero of Two World's. The couple shares their loving relationship in stories both humorous and poignant even as their own lives seem to parallel Garibaldi's. Their adventure proves again that life's memorable moments often begin by taking a chance.
