Among the themes Mayes explores are how her experience of Tuscany dramatically expanded when she renovated and became a part-time resident of a 13th century house with a stone roof in the mountains above Cortona, how life in the mountains introduced her to a \"wilder\" side of Tuscany--and with it a lively  engagement with Tuscany's mountain people. Throughout, she reveals the concrete joys of life in her adopted hill town, with particular attention to life in the piazza, the art of Luca Signorelli (Renaissance painter from Cortona), and the pastoral pleasures of feasting from her garden.  Moving always toward a deeper engagement, Mayes writes of Tuscan icons that have become for her storehouses of memory, of crucible moments from which bigger ideas emerged, and of the writing life she has enjoyed in the room where\u003ci\u003e Under the Tuscan Sun\u003c\/i\u003e began.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWith more on the pleasures of life at\u003ci\u003e Bramasole\u003c\/i\u003e, the delights and challenges of living in Italy day-to-day and favorite recipes,\u003ci\u003e Every Day in Tuscany\u003c\/i\u003e is a passionate and inviting account of the richness and complexity of Italian life.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49338547929392,"sku":"BDas9h","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/283516-as9h-Square.jpg?v=1733998414","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-as9h","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
