Review # 1 was written on 2021-01-24 00:00:00 Melissa Mcdonald A cultural look at the provincial town of Gallinaro, Italy, through its traditions and way of life. I learned about the exceptionally loyal ties within one's family, the highly social (and largely anti-solitary) nature of the culture, and the ubiquitous role of bribery. Here are some key takeaways: - Favors should always be paid back and everyone keeps a mental register to ensure they are - Italian is often the second language of Italians; the first is typically their dialect - the road expansion to rural areas is new (granted, this book was written in 1994) and is making travel a bigger part of daily life - Italian fashion is defined by being modern and current - individuality is not celebrated much within national fashion - the harder way to cook something is nearly always preferred Hate to be rude, but the rest of this book is not very memorable. I started it yesterday and already feel like I have forgotten a lot of what I read. So... take that for what you will.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-08-19 00:00:00 Elaine C. Lueras Tullio is both an insider and an outsider, having been born in this valley but has lived, and still lives, in other countries. Thus his perspective is impressive, as are his discussions on a multitude of topics relating to this particular place on earth.
