Love and Gelato!
Call me by your name
My Brilliant Friend’s quadrilogy by Elena Ferrante
Call me by your name?❤
Under the Tuscan sun and Bella Tuscany?
I loved both Angels and Demons and Inferno by Dan Brown. I know they’re older but they were both great!!
A Room with a View, if you haven’t already read it.
@Leslie I second this!
The Tuscan Child
Playing for Pizza by John Grisham. Such a cute fun read.
I second Love and Gelato!
Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter
I second @Amy ‘s choice. One of the best books I’ve ever read.
@Kelly I’m so glad you agree it’s one of my favourites as well!
Following
Call me by your name and Elena Ferrante Naples quadrilogy!!!
100%
Last letter home by Rachel Hore
As an Italian myself, I tend to focus on Italian novels: the many books by Andrea Camilleri are set in beautiful Sicily and make you fall in love with the characters (as well as the food)
Love and Gelato!! Quick easy read that honestly was not predictable at all
Conjuring Casanova by Melissa H Rea. It’s historical romance (and written by my dentist).
My Italian Bulldozer – cute book!
Neapolitan novels series- Elena Ferrante! Starts with My Brilliant Friend
Beneath a Scarlet Sky!
An oldie but the stravaganza series is AMAZING if you like fantasy and period piece Italy!
Love and Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch
A place in the sun by R.S. Grey
Angels & Demons
This is a classic but Across the River and Into the Trees by Ernest Hemingway – set in Venice
Call me by your name
F
The House at the Edge of Night – a great family saga with a touch of magical realism
Beneath a Scarlet Sky!
One Italian Summer by Keris Stainton or Call me by your name if that’s your sort of thing (it wasn’t mine haha)
Elena Ferrante’s books
Nora Roberts Guardian Trilogy. But it’s in Greece area now that I think about it and the last book is Ireland. It’s still a good series lol
love and gelato
