Title: does he even like Americans?
Product review: Given his 10-plus years of guiding Americans on small, personalized tours of Chianti, it sure seems like Signor Castagno can't stand us. I'm sorry - there are three groups he did enjoy. One joined him in moral superiority regarding capital punishment, one toured with him multiple times each year, and one couple named their child after him.So, if you'd like to cringe and feel embarrassed and then angry (after rebuking his clients for characterizing Italians based on encountering only a few, he does the same to Americans), this is a great book. If you'd like to enjoy tales of an expat's experiences in the Mediterranean region, try Peter Mayle.
