A leading sportswriter for the "Corriere della Sera," Roberto Perrone has conversely cultivated since his youth his great gastronomic passion, which accompanies him even within the walls of his home: his wife is one of the descendants of the legendary "Manuelina" of Recco. Collected in this volume are the hundreds of gastronomic rambles recounted over the years, updated and accompanied by information on restaurants, producers of good things, wineries, and hotels, and interspersed with some of the author's programmatic pages, such as "The Gourmand Traveler's Decalogue," "Every now and then I like to detox," and "I've done all the diets in the world." An exhaustive yet highly personal guide, to consult while traveling but also to read with passion, to feel how writing is able to bring back to us intact the most intense flavors of life.
